"to join?"
"Yes."
"Uh...you want in?"
"Yes. That's what I'm asking."
"OK"
"OK, what?"
"You're in."
"That's it?"
"What did you want there to be? An initiation? Scott, grab a frame pump and some Phils tenacious...."
"Uh..."
"Just kidding. Now give me $60 and I'll give you a jersey. Fill out your info on the team directory and request a login for the team forum. If you want me to work on your bike I'll give you this advice - if you're standing there staring at me I will work on it before the other ones I have laying around. That and in case you haven't figure it out by my rtund figure I happen to like beer. Consider it work queue lubricant"
