according to my rudimentary knowledge of high school math it means less than.

and then make a joke about the CBC.

i told you not to teach those students how to flambe!

actually it's greater than.

bigger >`/----\,,.' smaller

the aligator eats the bigger thing.. that's how i rememeber..

2 > 1 .... two is greater than 1
1 < 2 .... 1 is less than 2.

:D

rudimentary indeed *puffs on pipe*

ha-ha. what have you got in that pipe math boy, 1s and 0s?

Oh yeah I'm all over that like stink on a dog or whatever. As long as my knee holds up I'm there. Hey Keith you're covering us all for pints right? :D

rofl.

Sure.
Note to self...procure 4 40oz warm bottles of Olde English.

Like I'd let them near the booze. It'd be gone before I could cook with it.

give them that baker's brandy you see in bakeshops; the 60% stuff that has a solution that induced vomitting. that'll learn em.

I used to have some butterscotch flavoured rum. Stuff was about 180 proof. Used it for caramel sauce with bread pudding. We used to give it out as shots to the staff. Fun watching them gag and spew in the halls.

HA! Sounds good to me. Yeah that's right I'm calling your bluff.

y'all're jokes...

BTW From Environment Canada: Saturday - A mix of sun and cloud. High minus 3.

mebbe warmed beer might be a good thing? uh, or not... :o

Hot Dog we have a weiner!

for those of you that like all things antiquated / rivendellish, i was in curbside this afternoon and i see that they now carry cork grips ($15). very nice.

Maybe I can organize for hot Glühwein (hot mulled wine). I have never made it before, but I enjoyed it when I was in Munich! Warms the bones amazingly well.

wow yum... provided this is an open roll-call, that is (i don't even know if my knee will be ok but whatev').

Yay, I finally got my good peds for my SS MTB, and I won a Surly Tuggnutt on eBay. I'm a fixed wheel away from completion!

BTW: the snow ride idea still exists. For a reminder in this balmy sex-pot weather, go here!

Someday my friends. Someday...

Thats quite the flyer. Did you ever promote rave parties?

You should have seen 'em

by the way, watch out for Diamond cab #3227.

he doesn't like to share the road with cyclists. apparently we shouldn't signal and take the lane in order to not get run over. i tried to warn his fare that he wasn't safe...(pulled a bogus u-turn and came awfully close to a cyclist in front of me) i wonder if he still got a tip?

there really must be a way of proper enforcing proper training for cabbies... or at least keeping record of incidents.

(don't even get me started on tonight's news report about "distracted drivers")
/rant

Don't know how many times I've nearly been hit by the random cabbie U-turn. Bloor street is just wide enough for cabbies to pull that BS.

P.S. It's not just cabs though. It seems that everyone, big car or small, cabbie or not, consistently make bad decisions that endanger the thousands of cyclists in the city. I've been riding with more care, and noticing a lot more obnoxious behaviors ever since being hit on Yonge.

for real. i'm constantly thinking about what could be done in toronto to make drivers realise that. my most endearing thoughts so far are: a) something like the chick uses in "snow crash" to stick a warning flag on a vehicle or b) a "wall of shame" of plate #s...

but seriously, i was hit 2 years ago this week by a delivery driver pulling a u-turn @ king/bathurst. big wake-up call. the unfortunate thing is, when i tell people, they get scared about riding. the less cyclists = less attention by drivers = less cylists = less attention from drivers and so on. and need i remind them it's january and there's been no snow?

The best way to increase safety, is to increase the number of cyclists. Fortunately this doens't seem to ever rise above a meaningful enough rate for drivers to warrant any attention.
