WTF? Oh right, you couldn't stay on my wheel...DOH!!! Or then again, maybe you remember how slow I was up GMR :)

6'4, 185, but youd never catch up to draft.
Not to mention the smell.

You should ask ronjon10 about that. This avatar gave him "waking nightmares"
This one has now been adblocked out of my life also. It's not nearly as bad as the other though, I don't have lingering heebie jeebies at all.

Nope, evil looking things don't bother me a bit. I even dig garden gnomes though I know this freaks out many people:

Boo! I nominate that thread for the most useless thread of the year. I said something IN context and it became fodder for bored 20 somethings and has been used out of context ever since. I nominate "True Roadie" as the most overused, extended hyperbole expression of the year. :rolleyes:
Guaranteed winner.

Yeah, well, you ain't a true roadie so your vote doesn't count. :rolleyes::p
who says i'm not a true roadie?

I'll say it, because true roadies are generally *****'s... and I don't think that you qualify...

Some guy I met the other day when out riding. He was on a fixie, in cutoff jean shorts, Led Zepplin tshirt and carradice bag like the one Scoot carries. As I passed him on my road bike (smoked him is more like it), he yelled out, "dddave ain't no true roadie."
I shot him a dirty look, like a true roadie would of course, and continued on my way all cool and such.
Want me to correct him the next time I smoke him on that fixie bike? :D

I'll vote for the midnight ridazz thread. No wait. I'm a Fred. Freds aren't true roadies either. In fact, all of us are disqualified for one reason or another. The only true roadie was Fausto Coppi, but he's dead. Still, the dead can still vote (at least they can in Chicago) , so Fausto votes with dddave too.

You ain't no Fred, so stop sucking up to the Midnight Ridazz crowd, Dannyboy. Better yet, post a pic of your new bling-bling bike. :D

You true-hipster-Midnight-Ridazz-rebel types sure are concerned about getting your votes in.

You are unless you quit eating and breathing immediately.
Well, no, don't do that. I like you and I'd hate to hear that you passed out, knocked your head on the side of a table and were now in a medically induced coma. :o

:love: back at ya, Mo. Thing is, I'm not kidding. Those were my favorite posts. I remember when Brandy and Tiff were on every day, as were Voltman, Extort and a whole list of others, joking and chatting and you'd come in and sum it all up. You always captured my "smutting-it-all-to-hell" vibe in your recaps. I was most impressed. :)
Ok...
I nominate Mo'Phat for best catch up threads!
GregK for worst crash/Biggest roadrash for an under 5 mph crash!:eek:.....on Herb's B2B ride.

Good sir, I believe that there is a "Most Humiliating/Embarrassing Post of the Year" category for that sort of thing.

i am still not nominated for anything :( ...but i have only been around since may....i guess that's not long enough to be inportant enough to qualify....
or maybe i am just boring and not as funny as i think i am?
be gentle..the truth hurts sometimes.

No, the lady had the thread removed before you could make it a good one. So, since it doesn't exist, you can't nominate it. :D

Oh, Placid, thank you. Too bad it's gone and can't be quoted for folks to vote on as I would have voted for it for sure.
Now, if it had been a thread about a "lady doing a man on Ventura Blvd" - it would have gotten the best road rash award, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
