I'm a sucker for a cute face...
I was stopped at a light today (yeah I couldn't pull the right turn fakey) and adjusting my disc brakes (i thought the QR's were loose) when this cute asian girl pulls up next to me in this specialized allez with red tires. Then she takes off so I got back up and took off too, anyway, I decided to slow down and draft behind her for a bit knowing that I had a right turn coming up (a real right turn) and she runs full speed into this huge mass of broken glass, like she was testing out the armadillo's or something. Well, stupid me, I wasn't paying attention to what was in front of her and ran full speed into it too. Afterwards I said to her, "glad you have those armadillo's now huh?" She turned and said something like, "stop sucking my wheel you perv!", or was it, "yeah I hate to stop for flats." I dunno there was a lot of wind noise in my ears, anyway, keep your eyes on the road!

Dude, you need a girlfriend, STAT. This isn't the first time you've mentioned "cute girls" in the Commuting forum... I guess you missed the glass because you were too busy checking out the tires, right? bah! forget it, we all know what you were checking out.

I heard what she said, it was......"If you can catch me, you can have me!"

Maybe you should try to get your girlfriend onto a bike?

Slvoid, Ah just wait ... in fewer years than you care to think about you will fall victim to "creepy old guy syndrome" as my wife and I refer to it. This occurs when you are around a group of young women (college age, 20 somethings) and you are certain that you are only "a couple of years older" than they. You are discreetly being lecherous and you hear one of the young lovelies say something like, "is that old guy watching us?" ... or "I think that old guy's going to hit on you" ... or "what's up with that creepy old guy".
In your head you hear shattering glass as that delicate structure of ego collapses under the weight of reality. You have become the creepy old guy ... no longer just a couple of years older than your intended prey, game over. You wrap your trenchcoat around yourself and slink off to the minivan. The only recourse is to buy that flashy sports car and try to impress them with your bigger paycheck.

By the way,tell your GF I said 'via con dios'. There's no way I'd work on the floor in that store. Not even if the catalog models stopped by every day. Waaay too much crap to deal with,with the customers. I used to feel real sorry for the floor girls at X-mas time when it really turned into a zoo.

I don't think it's company policy either cause it says nothing about that in their employee guidelines. She said they'll even allow a customer to walk into the store with a bike. I'm not sure if all stores allow that but she's at the NYC main store.
She's a cashier, so she doesn't have to deal with the mess, but yeah it still gets pretty hectic sometimes. I know she gets paid more than the managers and everyone else there, so it's not too shabby.

Keep Your Hands To Yourself - Song Lyrics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got a little change in my pocket goin' jing a ling a ling
Want to call you on the telephone, give you a ring.
But each time I talk I get the same old thing
Always no huggy no kissy 'til I get a wedding ring.
Honey my babe don't put my love on the shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.
I said baby oh baby why do you keep me this way?
You know I'm still your loverboy, I still feel the same way.
She told me a story 'bout free milk and a cow,
She said no huggy no kissy 'til I get a wedding vow.
Honey my babe don't put my love on the shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.
Well I wanted her real bad and was about to give in
When she started talkin' 'bout love, and talkin' 'bout sin.
I said honey I'll live with you for the rest of your life,
She said no huggy no kissy 'til you've made me your wife
Honey my babe don't put my love on the shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.

Dirty old man.. not. Perv? that's for the courts to decide...
Hehehe.. man I know I say this all the time but sudden summer thunderstorms combined with poor vehicular visibility and white tanktops makes for probably the most dangerous riding imaginable.

Seriously though, my girlfriend's college roommate met up with a different 40+ year old man every weekend. She'd give them what they wanted, and they'd buy her nice clothes and stuff. It was really gross in some ways, but she really seemed to enjoy herself, she certainly wasn't being 'abused' or anything, and it planted a seed of hope for me when I'm eventually that age.
But wait, biking? Is that what we were talking about?
peace,
sam
