haha eyefloater. My buddy and I were playing x-box last night around 1:30am and all of a sudden 2 mice literally slide right across the hardwood floor from the kitchen to the living room in a ball. By a ball, I mean one of those cartoon fighting dust ball things, because they were having a battle royale. They were sliding and fighting swo intensely they didn't notice they were about to hit into the speaker, but they did and one of them got the upper hand and threw they other mice a couple feet away. After one final bloodthirsty charge sending one of the mice back into the speaker, the mice had sufficiently tested eachother's mettle and went off to tend to their wounds.
We were both speechless for a little while before started laughing.. now we have a baseball on the table so that we can intervene in any future mouse wars. |

I think you fail to notice how us eastenders are left out of the loop, or maybe you just dont care? I don't really consider myself eastside....more like downtown.

And most people who have used though yellow bikes hate them. I have never had a single person who uses the program complain about it. It exists to get people who may not be able to afford a bike....or choose not to own one in our bike theft ridden city....a chance to ride. Most folks I know who use it either are here for a short period of time and just want a rental (pretty much the only choice) or prefer the convenience of it. Ask yourself as I cyclist do I use any of these programs? If you dont then what use are they? Then perhaps we need programs that the people will use ... |

I suggest a 60 minute cook off based on a secret ingredient! The tasting panel will decide the victor! The vanquished will commit seppuku!

okay, here is the deal then. each combatant is issued the inside drum of a washing machine, a standard bag of charcoal, 5 gallons of hydrogenated vegetable oil and a 10kg frozen turkey. The battle will be held next to that old boat or whatever at the end of the leslie street spit where the raccoons hang out.

if only we lived in London...... :rolleyes:

A big group of us used to do fixed sprints down on Unwin. Good place for it. Not a ton of traffic. I wonder if our distance marks are still on the road? |

Too much boiling oil+frozen turkey=big freakin fire. Ever try that? I had one this past Christmas. I will take the oven roasted bird hands down. |
so i'm generally bored and uninspired at work, etc. always looking for something to do. so i wonder what kind of interest there would be in holding a sprint / time trial thing on the spit or in that area with proper prizes / sponsors and a bit of advertising? if someone were to put the word out there how many people (exluding the fine folks here on BF) could we get to come out?
|
is that after repaving the entire area?

Im up for 200 meter sprints, but we have to ride big wheels or green machines, you know that crazy kids bike from the late 70s. Ill find a picture. We also have to wear mickey mouse hats and sing the mickey mouse club song while we ride. |

Hey Kieth what about an alley cat.. that regular folks can be in?
Maybe if I talk nicely to frank and profit they could lend use of the radios, im sure profit would have an interest in the race. |

There will be a standard style alleycat....a scavenger hunt....a time trial....Global Gutz...and a few other races thrown in for good measure. It will be a points type series with 1 thru 10 gaining points for each event. Prizes for each event plus a series grand prize of a custom frame. Looks like I might have 2 tickets to send the male/female winners to the CMWC in Australia as well. Still finalizing details with the main sponsors but when things are ready I will let yall know. |
