Dear Buzzbomb,
Your friend is indeed pulling your leg, and it's pretty obvious to me that he has a severe crush on you. His desire to watch you turn that left handed tap most likely stems from a deep rooted fear of commitment coupled with a transexual yearning and a penchant for blue snow cones. It is all too common and very obvious to the outside observer.
Walk, don't run with scizzors, down to his house and give him a good playful slap on the ass. Then have him hold your bike while you tap that bottom bracket hard from the rear in a powerful thrusting motion. Make sure to clean up well afterwards, as it can be a very messy job.
