Road bike Topic (different type)
Yes this is Hipster, but still a road bike topic.
This one time, I was at a party with a friend of mine named Katie. We'd known each other for some time and were thinking about dating. Things were going great until she introduced me to her friend from class. I guess he'd been helping her with her studies. I wanted to thank him and talk to him -- he seemed decent enough by reputation.
Anyway, she'd warned me that the guy was a little hip but she thought I might like him because he is "into bikes". But jesus christ he was one of the most messed up people I have ever met. He never shutup about frigging bikes.
He went on and on about skids and bikes and how he was just the most awesome cyclist ever. It was embarrassing and a lot of people around us were uncomfortable. When he started talking about fork rakes, I thought I was in a nightmare, it really was that bad.
Also, he smelled terrible, like a butt that had a butt. He clearly thought he was being funny and friendly but he succeeded only in alienating the people around him------if you didn't ride a bike, you were an idiot, basically.
Everybody talked about him behind his back when he wasn't around, only to shut up the moment he came over and force a smile through gritted teeth as he continued to laugh at his own jokes and scratch the few ill-considered hairs springing from just below his chin.
I swear, I have never, ever, met anyone so repulsive and hateful in my life.
He's even an attention whoor on Facebook. I friended him just to grab his profile and look at the stupid things he posts all the time.
What an ass.
Actually, come to think of it, I don't recall whether or not he was even at the school there. He was one of those weird guys that just came to campus and showed up when parties were ending and laughed too loud like a horse that just got Zippy the Pinhead for the first time. He loved just creepily watching girls from the corner though.
I mean, really. If you ever run across this kid on your campus, run, don't walk, in the opposite direction as quick as you can, find an ancient cold war era bomb shelter, and live off the foodstuffs until one of you matriculates more or less by accident.
Anyone else got stories of loathsome hipsters?

How do you do this? If you can grab stuff out of the cookies on my computer from a forum post, what can you put back in?

Wow I was scared for a second. How'd you do that? I just read that article about trolling so I was thinking "they're after me!!!"

I only get a red X. I must have some super-duper security doodad that's flumoxed the insidious cookie-grabber of which you all speak. What's happening?

For those that it didn't work for, where the red x is, the cookie grabber shows an image of your facebook "badge" which shows your name, profile pic, and networks
