On kitchen mishaps...

Don't use your mother's coffee grinder to mince garlic. She'll get pissed. My brother made this error, not me. I like to think I'm more bright than that. Instead, I would do things like fill the (aluminum) saucer sled with lighter fluid and throw matches at it (and when realizing that this was dangerous, I'd open the garage door and kick the sled into the driveway). Fortunately mom never used the garage, so she never saw the big black spot on the ceiling. IT takes a bright kid to do dumb things where mom will never look.

On a side note…

How do you people find the time to read all of these discussions? I’m not just talking about bikeforums in general (I gave up on that the day after I joined), but just the ss/fg threads. I realize that not doing dishes might save you a bit of time, but still, there’s a lot o’ words in here.
