Southern California - So Cal needs a long thread "What's Up?" type thread!

No, no, you're missing the point. You're from the slow class aren't you? While somewhat less common, it is still OK for women to laugh at men's injuries. What would get everyone's attention is if a man were to laugh a women's injuries as I challenged Mo' to do. To do so would require overcoming millions of years of genetic programming and thousands of years of charm school training and/or the guy would have to be a complete worm.

Oh, I don't agree, and, yeah, so what if I'm from the slow class? What you got against that, gimpy? :rolleyes: :p But, I've had men laugh when I've gotten hurt. That is...until I started crying - which is a woman's secret weapon. We cry to make men suffer. It's like squeezing your "boys" in an orange press, you men hate it so badly. I've learned over the years, that my big ol' buggy blue eyes are perfect for producing huge tear drops, my lips tremble effortlessly, and my sniveling is an academy award- winning performance. I've had men turn red in the face, beg for forgiveness, offer to buy me all sorts of crap, and pretty much grovel like pre-pubescent school boys just from my crying. And I can't tell you just how much fun that is. :D

My secret weapon is definitely NOT crying.

But my secret weapon WILL make men cry. http://starwarsloser.info/smile/evilgrin/evilgrin0034.gif (http://www.mysmiley.net)

You don't need to cry. You own a whip.

Whale Rider made me cry...

Whale Ride made me cry...

Me too. That is one of my all time favorite movies. I love the soundtrack too.

That smiley creeps me out.


Stop looking at me.


No, really, I mean it....STOP! :p

The Killing Fields. I was bawling.

Stop looking at me.

OK.... I'll stop....

You've been spending too much time around worms. And what don't you agree with? The effectiveness of your cry-on-demand schtick just proves my point.

What point was that?

The Killing Fields. I was bawling.

Great movie, I watch it almost every time it comes on.

I watch it almost every time it comes on, too.

But that's not saying much because I do the same to Blazing Saddles. :rolleyes:

Speaking of watching the same movie every time it comes on, I think The Great Escape is on the top of my list. I remember watching it on Channel 5 countless times over the years. :D

The Great Escape is way cool...especially James Garner and Steve McQueen

Oh, Dan, that hurt just reading about it. I hope your recovery is swift and complete!

New Year Baby (http://www.newyearbaby.net/site/c.grKNIWPHIsE/b.838039/k.AFFA/New_Year_Baby_Home.htm).Tell us more.

:rolleyes:

We're back!

We cry to make men suffer. It's like squeezing your "boys" in an orange press, you men hate it so badly.

Huh? How can holding you in my arms, wiping tears from your eyes, and trying to distract you from whatever is bothering you with a smoochie possibly be compared with squeezing the boys in an orange press? :eek:

I rock. Totally...

Z-28?

I found no humor in that...:mad: I was just getting wound up over there...:p

...I went solo on Gabbly...nothing like talking to nobody.

A "smoochie"? J - we got to talk, darling. :o

Is this like the talking that my ex-gf and I used to do? Her sister caught us once and when we claimed we were just talking, she asked why I needed to take my glasses off to talk. I told her that I think more clearly with my glasses off, of course. :rolleyes:

um....no. This would be the kind of talking where I convince you to never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER...


...use the word "smoochie" again. :D

How do you people know more about it than I do? :p I defer all future questions to the group.

FSA or Campagnolo?

Sacha's having some "work done" at the end of the month. New compact handlebars, new wrap (haven't decided yet), Record skeletons. I'm also replacing her 50 chainring. It hasn't been shifting as fast as I'd like under load and my mechanic, Manny, pointed out that the backside of the S-Works ring has less ramp than some other brands. So the question is.... do I go with the black FSA outer ring (which would look very cool on Sacha) or double the price and keep my gal true to Campy? And if I go with the FSA, should I swap out both 50/34 rings to stay OCP? I really don't need to, but.......... :rolleyes:

(We're off to ride. Sacha and I will discuss this while we're on the road)

Note to self: Get weather report before setting off for a 4am ride. :mad: :(

A bit drizzly Joy?

Drizzle is OK. But a sudden shower dumped on me and I didn't know if my Dinotte could take that much water. Didn't want to be caught out on Vista del Mar with no lights.

I may go out again when it lightens up. Sacha's already dirty anyway.

I have been waking up too late to do a nice 4:00 am ride (lazy ass). At this point, I just assume waiting until all the commuters get off the road. Weather is nice here though (as far as I know)

Cloudy, but nice up here. Heading out on my new morning route! Have a good day everyone!

Good morning SoCal!!

I assume your S-works compact crank is 110 BCD, in which case Campy won't work. For some reason, Campy chose to NOT make their chainrings 110 BCD when they came out with their compact crank design.

Good morning all, my vacation is over so back to work today YEPPIE.........:(
