Rides and Races - DC Pirates' Pillages and Plunders

Just FYI,it's gonna be cold tonight. Should I bring my space blankies? ;)

Or my tape measure? :D

too bad noah is going to fail his homework assignment as i have his camera...he may as well race and party.

i suppose if he shows up to brunch he can get it back.

No, no one needs to see them.
How chimbly hazes the new kid.
Or Jonny5's head in my ass.
Or the pirate nudy pics....yeah, you heard me. You fukcers that left early missed a hell of a time.

P.S. mess with Tink or Chimbly and you get FUKCED.

now, now. that's just not how it is.

concerning mixtes, dictionary.com (and i presume most other dictionaries) define one as having a pair of tubes that run from head tube to rear axle (split top).

uh, lets see if i can get the pics on my puter

i think you are all fools and *****es. or not. just a drunk'in "whats up with my people in dc bike world"

So , Whats up?

Friday night's chaos.

yikes - those pix are awesome. noah, you should consider purchasing yourheadupmyass.com

chimbley: can you get a copy of the manifest up on flickr? i still can't find orleans st!

sorry, i have no copy of the manifest.

but, i do have to set the record straight.
i didn't hurt nobody. there was an accident, and it was just that - an accident.

i am NOT violent. nope nope nope.

Jonny it was Orleans Place, not street, I found it on google maps. Its between 6th and 7th immediately south of Florida Ave. put this address into google map "Orleans Pl Ne, Washington, DC 20002"" and you will see. Not suprising we didn't find it, it isn't marked on our map!

i am NOT violent. nope nope nope.

har har har, you pacifist assassin ;)

in all seriousness, it was an accident, it sucks but it happens once in a while; doesnt appear anything was broken, could have been much worse. wear your helmets kids. :)

whens that five dolla holla tink?

that l'enfant guy was gonzo...what's orleans place doing way down there, so far from, say, lawrence, monroe, and newton streets? whatever. crazy frenchman.

so i wanna find a copy of the manifest, and i also wanna figure out if i was somehow registered as "johnny" from nyc or "jenny," though neither makes much sense.

enjoy the snow tomorrow -

i am NOT violent. nope nope nope.

Yes, I believe this to be mainly true.
We pirates are just prone to hurting each other.
We might as well start bringing a first aid kit.

first 1/2 are the friday pillage.

half tagged, finish em chimbly

Work is pretty slow today and I slumbed across thisbeauty (http://www.bikecult.com/works/collections/bjacksonLD.html) oh my god the lug work is freaking amazing. Wish I was getting one for Christmas....

drool drool. nick, that bike is porno. don't look for too long. tis not right, that much awesomeness in one machine.

It would be interesting to see a modern frame maker, lug carver go for Tribal or Celtic knot or an art deco theme. Now, to find some lugs on Ebay, a few pop up every so often. Also which modern roto tools and EDM, there can be some very interesting possibilities.

It took 2 trips to get all the empties out to the recycle bind this morning. :P

I think we need to do some day rides for the sake of riding, my legs are toast from the alley cat

HMmm, there is also photo etch, ELBeeKay, do you do photo etching for the print blocks?

EDM would be a sweet way of doing it, though you'd optimally need a 3 axis machine and I've never seen one of those. I never seen it used on tubing but I can imagine you'd have to be very careful with the wall thickness.

the pirates couldnt decide on a party over the weekend, theres a poll in the yahoo group, go vote.

i'll bring pie.

Ahoy mates, I'm announcing the pirates NEW YARRR! pillage now. Friday Dec 30 7:30pm Sherwood. 8pm Champagne dont be late.

seasons greetings and a happy new yarrr :)

holy roman empire, it's almost new year's time!

a day after bike polo, all are invited to my place in mt. P for a raucous new year's thang. bring your bikes. bring your pants. bring objects that you are willing to burn in the *bonfire* we'll be having in the back (burning pants is OK). bring waterbottles for the keg. bring extra new year's resolutions, too, cause i need one. suggestions?

casa d' Jonny5: 3161 18th st, NW
email me if you need more beta...

so, a day after bike polo... that being... thursday the 15th then? i'm confused.

but i do have pants.

Burning pants that you are wearing is NOT ok. :eek:

a day after dec 30th bike polo in the snow = dec 31st = optimal time for new year's shenanigans...if my math is correct.

i'll bring pie.

Shes been talking all about pie. "How hard it is to ride with pie" and "look at me I'll bring pie" It better be good.

pie is good, mmmm pie. nuff said

re: Burning pant that someone else is wearing is hilarious!

Speaking of which......drum roll

I am hearby forbidden to be caught causing muckery at McCormick Place in the great city of Chicago for a duration of 180 days. If this condition is met, the merciful city of Chicago will dismiss my trespass (pun and then some) and shall push the delete button on the whole sorted affair if I $how charity in kind.

lovely! perhaps we need a clink cleared celebration. we'll get drunk and go break into the track at cardozo HS to race. (i'm not really kidding).

push the delete button on the whole sorted affair

congratulations brother!
that was a bunch of crap anyways.

so can we still call you the clink?

As they say, your nick name finds you....Clink has not been sticking
right ? Tink?

celebration required indeed! Will be in Pax tommorrow and NGNN the next day. But thursday night would be great since I am taking Friday off for a friend's weddding and partying the rest of the weekend, so why not start Thursday night!!!! WAHOOO!

Will be in Pax tommorrow

I'm sorry. Jail in Chi-town would almost be preferable to SMIB-burg. :p ;)

Glad it all worked out. Have fun in the People's Republic of Southern Maryland,they got 6.2" of snow.

(why am I still at work? :( )

dec 30 = friday = the happy NEW YARRR pillage, no polo, yes fun

hey clink, so thats 180 days of peacefully behaving in chicago, or anywhere? maybe you should just avoid the midwest for 6 months.

i found you guys!
so id like to thank the pirates for friday nights assistance. two doctor visits later and im in a knee immobilizer and on crutches, getting an mri tomorrow.. yet im still not exactly sure whats wrong. thank you for all of your help, i dont know where id be without it
oh, how i want to bike again...

i'm glad you found us again. two doctor visits? sounds pretty serious; fractured? are you going to be in town on the 17th for the pirates holiday party?

that super-sucks, silverchels. i'm so sorry! but i'm glad you had it looked at.
luckily, pillages end up at the same place, so you can always meet up with us.

welcome to the terrible slow descent that is the bike forums.

Chimbly are you going to tell us what it is?
