I think it is in reference to this:
" Strengths: Fits my body perfectly. The padding of the seat is just right with bike shorts. Neither to hard (ouch!) or to soft (impedes pedaling motion). Price is nice
Weaknesses: The major weakness of this seat is it's size. The seat is pretty narrow and if it doesn't fit your hip bones will dig right up your butt."

which appears to be a total contradiction, I expected something hilarious and I don't think I cracked a smile. Maybe I am just a prude or having a bad day. No offense to the OP intended.

I think the OP is referring to this?
FavoriteTrail: The one I'm on!
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Purchased At: Local bike shop
Strengths: It is a bike seat.
Weaknesses: You can't sit on it.
Similar Products Tried: Metal bench, steel chair, bed of nails ( OK seriously I've used many others- I even seem to remember my banana seat not hurting this bad )
Bike Setup: The new "Ever Stand" mountain bike, thanks to this seat.
( I even ride a full suspension bike - 2002 Bullit no less with the 5th ele shock and still i getta buttache )
Bottom Line: Ooo. Ouch, ah! Eeoo-er Oh! Aiee ouch.
And that was AFTER the ride.

I gave it a 2 cause I figure a 1 would be a brick on a stick.

That's how funny it was: He wasn't drinking ice tea at the time.

I think mswantak is trying to create an "iced tea" versus "ice tea" controversy.
