  2. @D2

    My fav “Acronym Maker” gave this:

    Lake Interior Ballad
    Lump Isotope Building
    Lounge Inbred Burrito

    Personally I think the 3rd one is the best.

    You’ve always struck me as a burrito.

    Nothing personal.

  4. I like Lounge Inbred Burrito. I think that’s a fair assessment of my personality. Let it be known that I am a LIB.

  5. Now we just have to discuss and figure out what the fuck is a Lounge Inbred Burrito.

    Cause I have no silly clue. And I seen all of Monty Python’s stuff. I should know better.

  7. @el jefe

    Grassy ass.

    I’d never seen all of that skit.

    It’s even better now.

  9. Fukit, I once more forgot that more than 2 URLs in a message require one of the list Gods to approve it, so yeah, if the deities could do the honors, (& that’s spelt wrong, it should be Honours, like the rest of the English speaking world spells it, oops sorry, y’all speak ‘merican).

    To make y’all feel better, I’m rocking out to Neil Young, “Americana”, the best album that he’s done in several years, just brings a smile to my face.

  12. @Cap’n Tony

    I’d forgotten all about that skit. Thanks for the reminder.

    No poofters.

    Bwhahahahahahahahaha.

    @Hurben.

    After a life of truly hating classical music I’m suddenly on a kick about it. Not sure if I’ve matured or gone brain dead but this is what’s rocking me right now.

  13. @Joe I work in this industry, for a manufacturer and distributor, and while my job does not save lives exactly, there is a pressure there. Maybe it is due to my work ethic or my sense of what I do can affect others it puts a metric fuck ton of pressure on me. Calling bikes toys and only pointing out the top percentage of the industry with carbon this and downhill that shows you know shit about the industry. Majority of bicycles manufactured and sold in the world are used as commuter bicycles. Majority of the bikes sold are way under your benchmark. I bet you, average bike price sold across the world is less than $1000. Calling em toys insults what people actually do with them. I commute to and from work with them. All the guys my company sponsor make a living with them. My family gets fed because of them. So they are little more important to some us than toys.

    Now with that being said are there a great deal of fuckwads out there who think that what they do is on par with saving lives or dodging bullets. Oh yeah! I tend to ignore them. They are the same fixie assholes who run lights and ride against traffic screaming they have the right of way.

    Now going back to what you said about the “noise” and your fixie. I thought it would be fun to throw an asinine event with people who like to drink and do ridiculous shit., and a product that makes no sense in my mind, along with bicycles that none of us could probably fit on. You ever had those ideas? Done something stupid for the fun of it? Or have you always sat on the sidelines and criticized those who did? I bet when everyone else went skinny dippin in the water hole you sat there and told them how they were gonna get leaches or your prefer your pond because the water was purer. Instead of getting in on the fun and making some great memories. Nope all you got is your fixie, Mrs. Joe, bless her soul for putting up with you, and your look at life. Now if you don’t want to have fun at my party thats fine you don’t have to come, but if you want bring everyone else down and point out your superior intellect or Old Man Zen ways, there’s the door, don’t let it hit you in the ass, and you might not want to touch it, it might have a small amount of liberal on it from some of the guests who do like shit like that!

  15. @Triple. Now I know what to get you for Xmas. A head bag with bees. Oh you said you were allergic. Well then a nest of wasps it is!

  16. How about a nest of tramps instead ??

    That sounds much better.

    Well. Except for the whole VD part.

    But I rather die that way than being stung by a fucking bee.

  18. …virgil mutha fuckin rufus…i’ll be there with bells on…you know it…

  19. Wonders if Joethe… has ever been banned from a certain cycling publication’s web forum? There is a lot of the same sentimentality being spewed forth from this poster as from that guy. He is an electrician too that rode/rides a fixxie (on rail-trails).

  20. Everyone who spews hate at joe about being a “lonely old ignorant asshole who only has his wife and his fixed gear and his damned simple lifestyle” are sinking just as low as he is when he talks his close-minded political rambles or stubborn conservativeness.

    To each their own, i always say.

  21. Buz you are correct. Why I usually never respond. I just got fired up today!

  22. …& buz…personally, i agree with you 100%…

    …i’m guilty as charged but sometimes, someone has to stand up & point it out when there is a ‘misrepresentation of facts’ (polite term) & there needs be accountability…

    …if i’m rude (& i am) it’s because that misrepresentation of facts has happened regularly over the years & there is never ANY accountability when it comes to joe…

  23. “…if i’m rude (& i am) it’s because…” Talk about misrepresenting facts…You are rude because it is your nature, sadly you feel justified by whatever the reason of the day is.

  24. YYDN, I’m 99% certain you are correct. I haven’t decided whether he actually believes what he writes, or whether he thinks he’s making some Kauffmanesque joke. I try not to get sucked into it anymore. It’s not worth the energy, and when he takes his turns into wingnuttery, he doesn’t need any help making his statements look insane.

  25. …ya know, guest, you’re one of these guys where all i really hear you say anymore is “…blah, blah, blah…” but i’m sure you’re used to people perceiving you that way…

  27. @Pops aka bgw.

    I liked you at first. I can even remember defending your use of “…” to the annoyance of practically everyone.

    But now…you’re an arrogant, useless, sack of shit.

  28. …gee whizz…joethefuckingclown, guest & triple t…combine all that intellect & it still only comes up with “…blah, blah, blah…”…

    …just takes longer to say it…

  29. …triple t…you might wanna seek help, son…you kinds sound like the type who could go ‘postal’…& i’m not taking about a cycling team…

  30. gawd the ellipses let it go man.

    oh i’m sure that conversation is like a decade or two old though but shit let’s get this thread to 100

  31. …ya, i’m likely gonna do that, right ???…

    …hey, look – 80…

  34. Thanks for the Pops-to-English translation, guest. I will enter it into my lexicon.
