I know this is probably a little off topic, but this is the only forum I feel comfortable in, even though I don't have much time to post anymore (62.5 hours at work last week).
I just have to say
NO COMMENT, NONE....

I rank him just below the guy that thinks he's Peter Pan.
Only just though. I woulda put him above, except I've always wanted a Storm Trooper costume myself.

He bothers BOTH my wife and I. And he could have at least worn a cup! He kinda reminded me of the guy in the movie Office Space who was fired but never told about it. And to stay on topic...did you ever see the that Star Wars kid from Montreal? THAT was funny! Poor kid though...
I second the Storm Trooper outfit.
Have you seen my stapler?

very disturbing.
He should get out on the track w/ that suit on.

That's a lot of time to spend making a costume. Those of you bothered by him...I wonder if he'd be so critical of spandex-clad cyclists.

I second the need for a cup. I may be scared for life.
Mental Note: Avoid Overweight, middleaged males, wearing unitards and rambling about staplers.

So, I'm bored this morning, finishing the last of emails, trying to figure out where the hell my mail I sent went to. (which pisses me off to no end @#$E#@$ postal service, SCREW YOU LANCE, get a better sponsor).
And I click this. First, I lost my desire to eat breakfast. Second, I'm going to avoid getting fat at all cost should I ever get struck in the head and become insane enough to wear a leotard.
Props to the guy for doing what he likes and sticking with it. We all have our odd things we like to do.
But dam, at some point some one has to say "put the spandex down and step away from the VHS tapes".
That, and my internet security thing popped up and said I was looking at an unauthorized site.
Crappy friday.

He's like some sort of overgrown, mutated oompah-loompah. That said, I've seen enough really sh*tty cosplay that I have to give this guy major kudos for the amount of time and effort he put into that costume. Now then, if he could lose 40 pounds it might not be so hard to look at him...

Funny when was he on drunken cyclist?
I must have missed that, I got a email from an old chef I used to work with about it, crazy considering my top 3 visited sites are Ebay, Bike Forums, Drunken cyclst... and yeah I think in that order....
Of course my email trumps them all...

Actually it does, but it's sort of hidden:
Rule 65 Icing the Puck
(a) For the purpose of this Rule, the center red line will divide the ice into halves. Should any player of a Team, equal or superior in numerical strength to the opposing Team, shoot, bat or deflect the puck from his own half of the ice beyond the goal line of the opposing Team, play shall be stopped and the puck faced-off at the end face-off spot of the offending Team, unless on the play, the puck shall have entered the net of the opposing Team, in which case the goal shall be allowed. For the purpose of this Rule, any player of a Team must repeat photo that makes people uncomfortable again and again and again.
(b) If a player of the side shooting the puck down the ice who is on-side and eligible to play the puck does so before it is touched by an opposing player, the play shall continue and it shall not be considered a violation of this Rule.

Naaaa It took me 5 minutes to think of a "nice" way of putting it. I've attended Dragoncon (http://www.dragoncon.org/) and wasn't phased in the slightest except by the people in the really bad Klingon costumes (think rubber forehead bumps cheap runny halloween makeup and a "Beam me up Scotty There's no intelligent life down here T-shirt") Maybe he'd look better if we put him on this http://www.ruthlesscycle.com/TRIALS_FINISHED1-771-578.jpg
for a couple months Provided of course he moves out of his Mom's basement. [

Make this thread go away already! THis pic isn't even SS or fixed. This was an unnecessary post. Stop the Tron madness!

Anyone see him on Jimmy Kimbal Thurs night? Strange.
PS: Your Lightning are going down!You're just bitter because the Blackhawks have sucked for the last couple dozen years (Try the last 43.) It's sad your local boys haven't won a Cup since 1961. However, I can understand your confusion. I really don't think a fan from that area would know what a winner looks like anymore. :eek: GO LIGHTNING :D :beer:

He doesn't need to. He's too busy playing Tron to have a sex life. In fact he may be trying to build a Lightcycle maybe a single speed one to boot

what the giant disc?!?! why...not...just use regular V-brakes, or some hydraulics? or *gasp* not have a huge fscking disc rotor.... if that's for trials that thing's gonna get zapped with the quickness.
kudos on surviving dragoncon, by the way...

THey squeezed by last night. They're out of gas... But just for the record I am rooting for the Bolts myself. That way if they win, cool! My team won! If they lose, I get to give you s**t for the next year.
You are completely correctly about the Hawks. They deserve nothing and have gotten what they deserve.

I just did a search for "drunk cyclist" and the site was an adult picture site (decided I shouldn't look at it at work)...what is this drunk cyclist business?

BTW I apologize for starting this thread, it has gotten a little out of control... Quite off topic, I must have been drunk or something...

there aren't any. it's a trials bike, and it has a small chanring in the front (probably like, a 20T or somewhere around there) and a bashguard on the outside. also, notice the lack of a seat or seatpost.
