Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I think I'd race you, Beanz, but on a flat muggy Indiana Summer Day, when the temp is 95 and the heat index is about 113 from the humidity. Stretch the course out over 150 miles or more.

No way buddy! After 3 consecutive years with Gina on the bike, I have it down. Wide range of sideways eyeball movement without so much as a hint of a turning of the head, no loss of pace and no double takes! I got it down!
Plus, I like wimmins but I like mines!
....any other distractions are never for more than .003 of a second!

If U Had To Race A Bud, What Wood Be Your Advantage?
I would say my advantage would be the microbrew, it typically has more alcohol per bottle than a regular bottle of Bud.
Now if I was racing wood, I would probably settle for a nice plank of Maple. It's not porous like White or Red Oak, and machines well. Maple also takes finish well right after sanding without having to make a slurry for the deeper grain.

my advantage with all my friends is endurance, and gravity. none of my friends have the ability to ride further than 65 miles. of my buddies only one has the ability to kick my butt. he isnt a smart rider though. he goes full speed and where he blows up he blows up. so until then i just have to hang on so he feels the need to push and when he bonks i just cruise right on by. we actually raced towards the end of the summer to the beach a ride of 16.5 miles. he spent most of the time more than 10 bike lengths ahead and at about mile 14 i put the move on him and at the finish i had been waiting almost 5 minutes. thats how bad he bonked. i have no idea how he was able to ride home that night. he didnt remember the last 10 miles lol. race details was no drafting and full all out (no waiting up unless emergency in which we both had cell phones).

Fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.
