The saddest part is that his question was likely the most well formed grammar we've seen from him on this forum.

No ride for me tonight. It's my anniversary so I'm hanging out with the missus (going to the Gardiner Museum and then JK's restaurant there). I'm still recovering from a chest/head cold as well, so it's probably for the best.

I think I'm starting to grow into this sociopath label. Society sucks anyways, might as well stick it to it when possible. After going to Dubai I think its safe to say that it is the pinnacle of our civilization experiment, and after that we will either have an exodus into space, or go back to nomadic tribes of hunter-gatherers.

hmmm... all my bosses have left work. I'm leaving. I might as well go home and grab a bike and make sure everything is safe. see you guys at jet fuel.

haha I'm the only WTB listing that can afford any of this assortment!

That's probably the funniest thing I have ever seen all month. Really can't imagine some rich guy going to get a vanity license plate that specifically says that word.

I emailed the website about the Six Day Race film a while ago about availability and I just got this email today (did that sentence even make sense? I'm really tired right now and I can't tell.):

"The Six-Day Bicycle Race DVD is now available at https://
www.sixdaybicyclerace.com. Please go to "The Movie" and click on buy
now. There are some great additional materials including 40 minutes
of interview with Sammy Gastman and a comedy short from the 1030's
called the "Six-Day Grind"

We hope you enjoy this film...we had a great time making it.

Thanks for your interest and patience waiting for the film.

Mark Tyson"

Woohoo I'm ordering my copy right now. This is so awesome I can't wait!

P.S. I'm pretty sure when the dude wrote "1030's" what he meant to write was "1930's". But then again what do I know. Were bikes even invented at that time? I think not.

Dude. I totally know the guy in that picture.

Does anyone else have trouble making posts on this forum? It always asks me to sign in again, but then I hit refresh and then i'm signed in again. My posts disappear ALL the time too, I always highlight them and copy now, because its really friggen annoying. Am I the only one this happens to or is this like something everyone knows about except me and its been discussed like a million times or something?

Not lately. The forum can be pretty twitchy though. What are you using for an OS/browser?
