Wednesday’s Link Dump

I spent yesterday at home, sick in bed. The horror.

We’ll see how today goes.

Anyone need a six foot vagina? Great conversation starter at parties and gatherings of all kinds.

For Sale – beautiful pink “vagina couch” that I made in art school and no longer have space for. The pics are from my portfolio and are several years old; as a result, the couch has some scuffmarks and stains around the bottom from being moved, but otherwise is in excellent shape. A professional upholsterer helped me build the couch, so it is also functional and durable as a piece of furniture. The couch must be picked up in Mendocino, a 3-hour drive north of SF. I am asking for $600 and a loving home! Call Willow… www.craigslist.org

Good old Moscow.

Hey Jonny. Just thought I’d let you know that Moscow is under about 2 or 3 feet of snow and it’s gusting 35mph. U of I, WSU, and all the school districts up here are closed for the week. We at Paradise Creek Bicycles were insane enough to open today, but by 4 o’ clock, having only made $15 (can of Clean Streak and a bottle of Tri Flow), Jon came back from a visit to Casa and decided fuck it- we’re closed. Good thing though is that I actually saw many crazed bikers actually riding today, one of whom is a City Council member. So Moscow is not all bad, just totally fucking snowed in and it will be a few weeks I’m sure before I’ll be riding a bike besides in circles around the bike shop or on the damn rollers in the living room.
Cheers,
Fred

We’ve had a lot of snow here in Flagstaff this winter, but not enough to close the schools for a week. That is a fair bit beyond what I’m suffering through.

I can’t read a word of this, but the vids speak for themselves.

Tremos, esperando hayan disfrutado de su paseo a San Miguel, les comparto estos videos de sociedades cicleras que por lo menos nos llevan 50 años de ventaja en la cultura del uso de la bicicleta.

I’ve been to Europe once, for all of four days. But I can tell you, those cats have it figured out. Mahatten ought to seriously consider getting rid of 95% of the cars they let on that island. It’d be better for everyone involved.

Much better.

You can really read what’s going on without the corporate shine.

Damn. We’re “sophisticated”? I gotta flip the script ’round here something fierce!

It looks a bit more complicated than just riding your bike up the hill, doesn’t it?

Thanks Mate

I guess that’s one way to park a bike.
