It's Friday, I'm gettin the fork outta here.
|
This is ridiculous, I'm going to go clip into my clipless pedals.

Louis, Louis, Louis, everyone knows that language is a living thing that changes over time. Hence, party has become a verb. If we take the cycling language into the new era, we might get:
I can drink all I want because I've got handlebars. I go both ways because I BIcycle. I won't even begin to suggest where rim tape will take you. |
I hate these language difficulties. I dont care if I have a set of forks or a fork up front.
My brain hurts trying to figure this one out. |
I agree. Mary Ann.

Rant warning! A fork is a fork, period. It is not a forks. There is only one fork on a bicycle. I have seven forks because I have seven #*&*$# bicycles and each one has only one #@&*$# fork. :mad: Aw, fork it. I'm going out for a ride. Rant over. Carry on. :rolleyes: "...............and then the wheels came off" |
So is it a fork in front and a fork in back?
And: Everone knows that the average male would want a wife like Mary ann in the daytime (when your in the mood for a fork) and a wife like Ginger at night (when your in the mood for forks). And thats the forking truth. |
Man, for a while I thought you guys were talking about the real F-word: frisbee. Say that around my house and you'll be tripping over 36 pounds of bouncing Australian Shepherd until you give in and play a few rounds...

Ginger or Mary Ann, what a silly question. Ginger AND Mary Ann, of course :D ....

What bugs me the most is people using loose or loosing instead of lose or losing, as in I'm loosing my mind.

What do you call that "lefty" thing Cannondale makes? A Fork? It doesn't....fork I mean.... yet they call it a Fork....why?
|
I never bring a fork on my bike, I eat with my hands. Is this impolite?

Was it a simple yet elegant black spandex short, a khaki work trouser, or perhaps a traditional blue denim pant? And if it was a denim pant, had you cut it off with a scissor? Pair of pants. Pair of slacks. Pair of trousers. Pair of shorts. Pair of scissors. |

I am a little obsessed, and was trying to determine how to fit to, too and two into one sentence, and it just got strange...
As one ballerina was recently overheard saying to another ballerina: I want to have two tutus too. Or overheard at a diplomatic event: Did you two talk to Tutu too? Now time to go for a ride... Do you like to ride on two wheels too? :o |
