i know we were talking about the winter beard situation a while ago. i may need to shave, this things driving me crazy.

If it's on your neck, just shave it off the neck. It doesn't itch so much if you keep it on your chin.

I could not imagine going one day without shaving. No for me.

I might be down for the tasting. I'll have to figure out what good scotch looks like first.

Any product of Scotland that is a single malt will do. You cant really go wrong.

For all the gourmands, I'm making a goose for my parents on Christmas Eve which means that I will have a vast quantity of goose fat available. If anyone wants a small jar for potatoes or anything else hit up a message and I'll see what I can do.;

Sweet, I've been meaning to re-waterproof my bike gear...

I'll bring the Glenmorangie Cellar 13 I have and I may grab a Speyside for the beginners.

Hey this bicycle has an extra wheel!


edit: We have to get a few trikes like this and then do chariot racing with foam spears or nerf guns or something. Think six-horse chariots with archers and spearmen barreling around the Roman hippodrome at the time of christ with thousands of fans cheering. It will be just like that.

They didnt have trikes..but there is a group of people (nerds?) that get together every Sunday in Montreal. I cant remember the name they go by (Society of Creative Anachronists?) ..but they have huge battles with foam swords, arrows, pikes etc. There were at least 100 of em. Chariots brings a whole new dimension to it. When we first rode by we couldn't help but jeer them mockingly...after a beer or two spectating we were cheering with all the girlfriends (wenches?) in the crowd. Good times.

i think i may have to venture up to the LCBO at davisville for this tasting to get my hands on something unique. or up to markham for a really long ride (that LCBO is the ***** by the way).

Offhoff, i'll take some goose fat if you have extra.

The Queens Quay Liq has some good stuff too.

Sirrobinofcoxly 12-18-06 10:34 AM

There's a contractor of some sort in the Kensington area named Mike the Trike, and he carries hundreds of pounds of sheet rock on his trike. That guy is rough on his gear.

I have a pic around here somewhere of Derek from the Bike Joint moving my full size fridge on his cargo bike. Strangely no-one honked at him for taking the full lane on Adelaide.

i'll have to check that out later. i may venture into the one under the manulife centre as well. i just drained off the last of the last of my single malts (i was down to glenlivet!) so i'm going to need to restock soon.

unrelated - i'm going to go for a coffee run later if anyone not working / schooling is interested. probably 12:30-1:00 or so.

TRaffic Jammer 12-18-06 10:39 AM

hmmm... how to remake the insanity of chariots? Yoke two or three riders together with someone standing on a trailer? Queen street would never be the same.... :lol: THAT's a race I'd love to see.

See?.... I always said if there was a way to hover a crushing weight over our bikes that would crush any car that interfered then you'd totally be left to your own devices....proof is in the beer fridge.

Of course "Ben Hur Rules" apply.

TRaffic Jammer 12-18-06 10:43 AM

Rules?....hahahahaha ....oh of course. Yea totally. Financial district in the summer.....would be a blast....stairs anyone. How about on ice? Oh I'm lovin this idea....

No tyres on trailer BMX rims so you can slide the corners..:lol:

duppy.conqueror 12-18-06 10:43 AM

careful with the debit cards out there guyz...I just got the hack attack on tha weekend!! found out today when they told me my account had been "compromised"...I told them thanx for letting me find out at the ATM this morning instead of giving me a call! they said the fraud dept. is "really busy" I said maybe they should hire more peeps then with all that service charges and low interest they give...after all that the ******* only "skimmed" 40 bux...weird...

TRaffic Jammer 12-18-06 10:45 AM

They try to stay under the radar, so bit at a time. Sipping rather than gorging, means they can do it longer generally.

operator 12-18-06 10:46 AM

To those of you who know me. party at 9 tonight msg me. (not me).

TRaffic Jammer 12-18-06 10:49 AM

I'm so glad your concise training was successful.....
