/me shakes head in disbelief.

dude I've got a big 'ol stack of bike magazines with your name on 'em. Who wants to do a Rob commute sometime soon? :) We can scare his parents.

+1 and lol @ the pics :)

Good to see you back on the forum operator (though I printed out like 27 pages from the past 3 forum pages of todays banter for you to read... but I was too late and you went home :p) - hope you get on well with the Doctors.. not going to CM tomorrow then? ;)

Oh, and I'll try and make the ride, depending on when you head up.

Used to pay the bills, man.

PS. You ever hear anyone that needs some retouching done, I'm game. Money'll be tight once I'm back in school so I may start freelancing again.

Good to read you're okay Rob, I heard about your accident at a bike shop, you be famous :) BTW if anyone knows if this is the skinny, cause if it is it's kinda scary halloween ooooo! but at La Carrera the word was it was the same rig that got you what got Albert's digits yo? Accursed Frame from the Dark Side? That'd get you big bucks on ebay, everyone loves evil sit

Not sure what's going on, hopefully not the start of a flu! When I get sick I usually get hit hard and fast like that, and then it's gone again in a couple days. I'll probably plan to drop by some evening early next week if that's coo.

Oh weird. I was feeling kinda crappy earlier too. But thanks to Alkaseltzer TM I went from feelin' a little Vomatorium to eating some pasta right out of the pot I cooked it in. *thumbs up*

And yes next week is "coo" :D

Cavernmech, could you give me a lift back into town after Saturday's race? I can get a ride out there, but the bike and I need a ride back into town.

I don't think I could pay any bills as a graphic designer:

Too soon?

BEST. PIC. EVAR!. LOLZ. But that must be an older pic cause hes still om his Bianchi.

jeremywhitehorn 10-25-07 10:43 PM

i live near st joe's (have spent some interesting times there); i can swing by tomorrow before work if anyone is free during the day and want to have a quick visit around noon or so (assuming that's not lunch / sponge-bath times for dear robin). whose around...brad? and other parkdale people?

i had no idea his name is robin.

EDIT: never mind he's out of the hospital. i bet you guy's have all sorts of stories; st joe's is where they take all the crack-heads and the rest of parkdale's finest when things go sour.

a ride up to richmond hill? hm, that's my old hood, a good 35km one way. i may be able to do that one way next week.

He got sent home actually... it's somewhere in the backpages. He's in Richmond Hill (?) now I think.

jeremywhitehorn 10-25-07 10:58 PM

BTW - i think it speaks volumes about the kind of people that hang out here that one of us can go down in a bad accident one day, be taken care of by his peers and then have the piss taken out of him and take the teasing in good spirits the next day. bravo all!

Rob, you probably don't feel like Mr. Super Cool these days what with your mutant face and all. Get me to tell you my "going for smokes with a rectal catheter in" story sometime. That'll make you feel better, just don't hurt yourself laughing at me.

Just when I thought the pics couldn't get any funnier... ACE!

jeremywhitehorn 10-25-07 11:51 PM

my word this is getting awesome.

Robin is the Paris Hilton of hospital wait rooms. Corporate sponsors flock to him for his image!

Rob - not sure if you're checking PM, but I tried to get in touch there.. I've got a car available today, so please let me know if you need any help getting a ride downtown or to/from the hospital.

Hope you'll be back up & running at bikechain soon ;)

I havn't been to a bike event all summer. i feel so out of the loop. i won't be at the race tonight either as it is my day of birth.. toby said he might make me a special happy birthday honourary(sp?) spoke card even though i can't make it to the race. possibly somepne *cough*dan?*cough* might remember to grab me one. k?thxbye

Have fun at CM/the race tonight everyone! I'll be out of town.

nerdsgirth 10-26-07 08:09 AM

So it's Photoshop Phriday ala TOFGSS/operator ? :)

Love the pics guys, the scream made me howl :D

I'm visiting my precious tonight, so I'll be skipping CM. If I can get there on time, I'll drop by the race start to see if there's help needed... Otherwise, have a good one tonight all - bummer I'll miss the Hallowe'en CM as I'm sure it'll be entertaining :)

Mmm, pumpkin cookies eh... that can only mean good times.

I was planning on it...however the copious amounts of beer consumed last night might put the kibosh on that. I will prolly head down for spectating. Racing 3 days in a row seems a bit masochistic at the moment.

Although now I'm listening to Ol Dirty *******, which makes things happier.
