No idea, I guess he's just avoiding us. :)

Coincidentally, I believe Offhoff surfs as well. Along with being a local fixie rider, street luger and all around x-treem guy. :D Also, he makes a meeeeean deep fried turkey. mmm!

I already have this if you want a copy. 4.4gb rip only.

Story of the day:

I'm coming back just now from the GO station and some ******** ****** on a MTB going the wrong way down the steet has the nerve to play chicken with me AND yell something at me while I swing into traffic to pass him.

I think he said something like "riding that fast is dangerous" with an unfriendly look on his face. Wasn't even worth my energy to stop and argue with this moron. Where do these people come from? Are they just born a moron or are they created? It really defies my understanding.

Ha Ha but remember there is a 50/50 chance your deck will go up in flames then your house shortly after.

I think there is an elegant mix of evolution and environment going on. My only consolation is that they're not behind the wheel of a car.

That's why HE makes a mean deep fried turkey, and not me. :D

First mistake....putting the turkey fryer on/near the deck in the first place. I still prefer an oven bird but theres something to hanging outside in the snow, huddled up around the turkey fryer, and enjoying a warm mulled beverage....GOOD TIMES!

Now did someone photoshop that circle in or is that really just a wheel reflecting light.

Flimflam 09-26-07 09:46 PM

Lovely glow ring on that.. :) Lovely looking (l)ass, too ;)

I seem to get all kinds of those run-ins almost every day. Be it someone riding the wrong way on my street (without lights usually, yay) or some stupidity on Queen West... I swear I'm getting more complacent as time goes on.

Feel good thing for me today: Stopped at the top of the lakeshore 'hill' near the Jameson exit area to help someone with their bike. Turns out all he needed was a lesson on how to shift gears (his supercycle MTB still having the manual attached to the handlebars), but still, I know I'd want someone to at least ask if I was stuck on the side of the path with a mechanical looking problem.

i think i'd be more worried about sharks (and drowning)...

jeremywhitehorn 09-26-07 10:38 PM

i'll keep my feelings about deep frying turkey to myself...

jeremywhitehorn 09-26-07 11:24 PM

... it comes with the territory. I've had a few rather scary hold-downs.. the first time that you lose all light in the middle of an afternoon session is a bit terrifying, but once you get used to the idea that you're not coming up until the water lets you, it's not so bad. (Aside from when you get knocked into things underwater; that's not so fun..)

if i'm still awake for tonite, that sounds fun...

also: critical mass tomorrow!

You could be like that guy who videotaped his own (accidental) drowning death underwater. /shudder

Danhalen 09-27-07 07:24 AM

Keith if I make it back from Mississauga tonight then I'm totally in for movie night. Sorry to be so indefinite about it but what can I do you know? ROCK AND ROLL.

Oh and I ran into Offhoff the other day. He said he is taking a bikeforums sabbatical or words to that effect.

Flimflam 09-27-07 08:03 AM

I'm in for tonight (thanks Keith). I've got the Lucas Brunelle videos, the Godfather trilogy and last Sundays Family Guy and Simpsons premiere on a disc.
What time is a good time..?

I popped a bottle of Carolans (no beer and brokeass, damnit) in my pannier today - mucho weighto, my back wheel is so out of shape again, bleh :p
