I already did two cold rain rides this weekend, but now I'm missing the film "The Prestige" so I won't have to ride back home the 25-30 miles in 30 deg. frost. I'm thinking it will be just as miserable as the freezing rain was.

So now I'm stuck in the house, with the bored-out-of-my-mind blues....:o

Here is your one and only chance to post your most creative way to break this hell of monotony!

(Or, on the flipside, discuss the advantages of riding at night in the sub-frozen frost.)

GRRRRR:mad: RRRRRrrreat!:) I'm so happy for you.:rolleyes:

No, I know it's good. It's just that I recently moved so far from the city centre (I used to live downtown in the middle of it all), that there are no theatres in biking range.:(

May be it won't be that cold...and wet. I did the cold and wet thing. Not cool.

Ridiculous $20 fee if you don't stay in the city or go straight to/from the airport.

I'm not shelling out $45-50 for a movie night where I don't even get a goodnight kiss afterward!

I think of you as my Bikeforums little brother, Dipp, but you're a compleat puss. It doesn't get cold enough in Georgia to quit riding, ever. Grow a pair, get a poncho and some wool mittens and socks, and ride your stinking bike, cur.

You didn't ride 60 wet cold miles this weekend ; cut the hell out of your arm dancing the tango with a metal road plate, getting back on and riding your wet ass home.

Naw, I'm a tough old bastard. You would be proud.:)

But can I fight another battle with pnuemonia for a third time in a row? Hell yeah, I think I can. Nothing like a little kickass motivator, Thanks Kris.

I think of you as a garden gnome with a pitchfork for the lazy whining fatasses of the Universe. Indispensable.

Indispensable.This is why I am grooming you to be my successor, as Nixon did to Elvis.

Read that book you've been meaning to read, but never had the time. Or paint that post modern masterpiece you've been meaning to paint. Or do both at the same time. A visual interpretation of Slaughterhouse Five filtered through the body of Serendipper.

Finally!

See, every time I see that avatar pic of you on the beach, I think of J.B. Now I can rest in my grave knowing you were actually drinking margaritas at sunset with your honey. The world makes sense to me a little bit better now. Some things just are what they are.

Thanks, J.

Your Welcome, glad to know that I helped in some small way. Rest assured my friend that many a margarita died in the making of that sunset!!! On that same trip a guy tried to trade me a Grateful Dead CD because I was wearing my Margaritaville tie dye and he thought I was a Dead Head. Buffet rocks. Been to see him live 4 times that I can remember. I think if I could trade existences with anyone on this earth, it would be Jimmy.

One of my all time favorite Buffet lyrics is:

Away in the near future,
Southeast of disorder,
you can shake the hand
of the mango man as he greets you at the border.

I think Son of a Son of a Sailor may just be the one song I would chose if I could only have one song on my MP player.

Listen to music, visit friends , go surfing on the net, watch some tv, read perhaps. Start thinking of things to buy for people for christmas. Consider things could fix or change on your bike, call some family members eat some food and the list goes on...............................................................................

This statement was pure prophecy. I can't really elaborate...it's too wierd of a coincedence and my brain is still processing the results!

:eek:

All I can say is: "Hello...Farewell!"
