I wondered about that. I met a group of "intellectuals," or so it seemed, and even though I built the Cilo and owned the Cinelli, they set me straight with "see-low" and "chin-elli." They were all on Rivendells, so I simply rode away. They drank wine and knew what they were drinking. I was just there for the buzz.
