Typically something like 39 males and 4 females for mine. I picked the wrong major.

Actually, what I have found is that women are attracted to confident men. Most of us dorks had no confidence around women, and it showed. As we age, we stop caring, and the women come around.

Hello hello.

When I brought Oscar in, my mom said, "I know that is a serious bike because it doesn't have a kickstand." Ah. Welcome home.

I would assume all serious bikes have skinny tires, but I will certainly defer to your Mom, as she appears to know her stuff.

I agree and have seen others say it's true, but I have not seen a mod or admin say so.

In a related matter, it looks like Mr Beanz's suspension has been served.

In more **** my mom says, "There are some Lance Armstrongs that ride through here on Saturday. You should go with them. There are like a hundred of them. They take the whole road. They are kinda annoying, actually."
