I wise pirate said, "you do not pick your nickname you nickname will pick you"

Just ask Clink Tink!

I don't tink that "Clink" has been catching on

unlike:
Susan, Jill & Tink

luckily, Spud got to pick his nickname.

Someone gave me a copy of "Yellow Jersey" to read a while ago, and I finally read it. So if anyone wants it (free), PM me. You might like it, you might not. Personally, I find no need to read it a second time. It must have been more interesting back when it was written.

nice job last night, y'all. sure, get the new guy in trouble. innocent old me comes out for some fun and games and almost lands my booty in the clink. well thanks for an interesting time. perhaps with a few less beers, i'll keep up on the track the next go around. - J[eronimo] O[ctober] S[ierra] H[ossenffefer]

yep. also left camera at home...pix later. currently accepting donations of dirty pennies and nickles, to be put into an old smelly sock and dropped on some police officer's desk. $10 infraction - WTF!
also, the "i hate everybody" thread is the funniest chingazo i've seen in long time. i heart the interweb.

03-16-06, 10:35 AM
Not to be heartless, but I am SOOO glad that I declined drinking until we got to RPC's place. Damn, it would not have been as funny as J5 and Josh are taking it.

So Tink, this Saturaday Ride that you were thinking about?

03-16-06, 10:42 AM
Thanks for the ride along guys, it was a lot of fun and nice to get outta town for once. Maybe next time me and the bottle will celebrate AFTER the races since that whole standing upright thing is pretty important to coordination. seeya later.

They rent these things in NYC. So if you ever wanted to go down Broadway on a freaky muli-person bike, you can.

If you're serious,I've got like $5 in pennies that I haven't gotten around to putting through the coin machine at the bank. You're welcome to them. ;)

All: I think we might want to do some pre-staging from now on for polo. I kinda got the feeling they may actually start watching us more carefully. And what was up with that woman with the cop? Undercover? Anyone remember seeing her around the park before?

Sorry to get all political up in here, but whats your definition of gay?
Do you mean gay as in happy or gay as in homosexual?

You all hear about the brick throwing post on craigslist? Has this already been covered elsewhere? I didn't see any reason to start a new thread as this only concerns DC folks. I was told this is 11th street where it goes up the hill next to cardozo hs. Info?
