Speaking of Razor (who's on a farm in Kansas), this place is quite pleasant without him.

I won't explain it here, would fall under the TMI category.

I enjoy Razor here. It takes all kinds, else it gets boring.

Late Night Razor is often unbearable. Much like TopGear.

yes. I echoed your sentiment to Topgear a day or so later.

Razor can be annoying and has much the same posting style, albeit in his own special form of the language. However, he has seemed to learn to limit the worst of it to times when few are on. And occasionally he even posts something relevant or amusing (shotgun sort of approach).

Couldn't really say the same for TG. As the main cause of death for Addiction I, I think from this point forward Topgear shall no longer be mentioned here. We can refer to him/her only as He That Shall No Longer Be Mentioned Here (HTSNLBMH).

Dude, this is Addiction v2.

I'll say this: good dietary fiber intake + morning espresso = <60 seconds before getting on with the rest of the day.

I think the big difference is that Razor posts what he thinks, then thinks about it. Voldemort was posting what he thought was funny.

What kind of phone? It's probably easier with a real camera, but I have also used my iPhone.

That would be raising him to an almost Voldemort status - he's not deserving of that terrible respect; he's a dumb kid.

Works for me. I seem to recall someone saying he was banned.

In other news, I find the BB30 thread quite interesting. Cervelo is coming out with their own version called BBRight. Is this the future?

The creaking issues are concerning.

Hey UMD, total topic diversion, do you use a coach?

I'm tempted to hire one as all this business of cyclic training and what not sounds like it works, but I'm either too lazy or too stupid to sort it out and design a program.

will the BBR be BB30 crank compatible? This seems much like a Beta vs. VHS debate/battle. I wonder what Shimano is going to do.

Yeah, I use a coach. Generally I knew the kind of stuff I should have be doing but ended up riding too much at the wrong times because it was fun. I still have fun, but having a coach helps me time it better.

BB30 has a lot of momentum and many of the players are new to the standard. With such a fresh investment, I doubt that many of them are going to want to switch to another standard before recouping their investment. I think that it's significant for a while.

Football was fun when I played it as a kid and the rivalry between tiny Midwestern towns was all that mattered. Watching it be played by people being paid by scholarship or salary is about the same as watching golf.. or sailing.

GO STEAMERS!

depends on which one the porn industry adopts as standard.
