Southern California - can the SoCal peeps adopt me? :)

seriously. i think i'll post over here a bit more, if i can figure out how to mesh with y'all, being from the east coast and all:D.

Done! Oh, well, there is that initiation thing...

Don't worry wolfpack ... I was able to mesh in pretty easily. Besides, you'd fit in quite well.

Done! Oh, well, there is that initiation thing...I think we need a calmer goat this time.

...And remind me not to wear light colors. It was hard to get the stains out last time.

I resent the fact that you feel I wasn't calm enough. You trying holding still with your back arched like that.

...And remind me not to wear light colors. It was hard to get the stains out last time.

I'm sharpening my tools as we speak

Remind me again why we need Uncle Matt's class ring?

Well, I'm a transplanted North Carolinian. I've been in LA for about 10 years now, so I'd welcome some east coast updates.

Unfortunately for you, I'm also a Tar Heel (class of 93) so you may have to put up with some barbs, you know, when Hansbrough drops 32 on your team or when you only manage 11 points in the first half, that sort of thing :p

Nope.

No.

Ignore him, WP. He was left out of initiation...which was our way of initiating him. He's never quite recovered.

Hey, she's a friend of Jason, so she must be O.K.

meh. i can take the barbs; i don't think they will ever be able to compete against teams like carolina/duke/etc. they just never seem to have the team thing going on.

wooo-hooo:).

ummm, yea, what's this initiation thing y'all talkin' 'bout? :eek: :p i'm sure i'm up for the task unless it involves steep climbing, cause i don't climb well. yet. do i have to fly out to SoCal for the initiation?

yea, and jason is a sweetheart isn't he? :)

it's ok Voltman, not everyone will want to adopt me. but here, have a couple...(((((hugs))))) my hugs are good:D. feel better now? :)

Nope.





Make a poll...;)

I think my initiation was riding on Tour de SB II. It was a blast ... plus I got in a century that day. Riding back on Amtrak with everyone was really cool.

That is a great ride, Ron. :) But, no, that wasn't your initiation. You just don't remember it and I'm sure not going to remind you.

Solvang Double? Are we there yet?

No, that wasn't a BF ride. That's PU's gig, and they aren't really initiating you, just giving you the opportunity to suffer for the pure joy of it.

Does the initiation involve aliens and some sort of probing?

If I had my way, it would.

Hey, ME, weren't you going for a rain ride?
Que paso?

Later, when the river outside my door goes down a little. I'm eating breakfast now. :D

hmmm... I'm not sure how I feel about an NC State fan. Still, it's better than being a North Carolina fan.

hmmm, aliens & probing? that might be interesting:D

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN DAUPHIN??????

trac...the demands on me are tremendous....(bulbs flashing) :)

Go away! We're full! :mad:

Um, i mean no... Unless you really want us to. :o

Having lived in:

Charlotte, NC
Statesville, NC
Belmont, NC
Charleston, SC
Columbia, SC
Spartanburg, SC

I still think people are talking about the University of South Carolina when they say "USC", and think they're talking about Appalachian State University when they say "ASU".

Go away! We're full! :mad:

Um, i mean no... Unless you really want us to. :o

:cry: why? you don't like me? :cry:

no - i won't go away! here have a hug or two (((hugs))) that'll make everything ok:D.

BillyB - you mean there's some other meaning for ASU?? everyone knows that it's Appalachian State Univ., of course:)

BillyB - you mean there's some other meaning for ASU?? everyone knows that it's Appalachian State Univ., of course:)

Yes - there's another ASU out here. It stands for "Arizona State University".

Apparently, there's another USC out here as well. It stands for "University of Second Choice"

Seems to be a rather odd name for a school if you ask me.

Well...grumble...I suppose it's alright with me....

...as long as you tell me more about the red bike!:)

it's coming along quite well - i've got the cables/housing put on for the brakes and will try to get the shifter cables done this evening. i might get to take it for a test ride later this week or one day on the weekend. it looks really sweet! red bike, white bar tape, saddle, cable housing...will post pics in C&V as it gets completed...

Has the hazing commenced yet? I've got my paddle re-spiked and Armor All'd.

Better get some new priorities mister! :p

Go away! We're full! :mad:

well, y'all gots to tell me when the weather is nice out there! i'm thinking about mid to late october for about 5-7 days actually - are the temps below 85-90F then?? see, you must educate me on this SoCal weather stuff:)

Has the hazing commenced yet? I've got my paddle re-spiked and Armor All'd.

wooo---what's the hazing?? involves paddling?? hmmmm:D

Wow like the saddle.

You did all the work on this yourself, didn't you? We were just discussing how much guys like wrenchy women...:)

yea, it's been really slow, just because i haven't "got busy" with it. if i did, i could finish it up pretty quickly. so, where was this discussion on how guys like wrenchy women??? :D
