Now I need to create a coffee altar in my kitchen for it.

Too bad there is no fork.

you're not supposed to drink the whole bottle in one night; i think the idea is that you do a sampling and then take home the leftovers as a doggy bag.

Needless to say, I catch up to her and strike up a conversation, but I mean there's only so much you can say when you're trying to pay attention to her and make sure you don't get run over at the same time.

Does anybody know this girl? Is she on this forum? If so, I want her phone number. I don't know if it was a proper fixie or a conversion, but the bike was definately olive-green, didn't have any decals, looked pretty old, but had a nice and shiny Brooks B17 (or Professional). Oh, and blond hair. And she can really move.

Someone help me out!
