Well, I only recently switched to "naked shots" there (because their latte's are so tasty), so I'm not sure if some people are just inconsistent or not. I also have no idea what anyone's name is, so I'll do my best. I just got a pretty lame one from the dark skinned lady. I seem to remember "Audrey" making a good one, but that was a while ago. I've gotten a couple good ones from the sorta hippy-ish girl (amazing one yesterday, actually). And the guy with the butterfly tattoo on his hand has made me a couple of terrible ones. I think that's about it. Any observations from you?

I've found the shots much better on ossington than in kensington. I got some real crappy shots pulled by the tattoo guy before.

dark skinned girl has done some nice ones for me, ditto hippy-girl. butterfly-guy has ****ed mine up a couple of times (i seem to remember him overflowing the cup). petite brunette usually working on thursdays is alright but when i order an espresso she puts it in a big mug unless i ask. i don't think audrey has made me one yet...

Coffee shots? As I understand it the first quarter...yuck, quarters 2-3....what you want in your cup and the final quarter...yuck as well. Me....will drink all 4 quarters and not notice the diff. :lol:

What can we do change bicycling culture to understand this better?

Or what about we just throw out all the cycling-specific infrastructure and see if that improves the lane positioning of ordinary cyclists?

Maybe we can thump 30-year-old bibles that could crack the average skull?

Or direct people to web sites full of shamelessly phony data and a kind of Internet crank-ish style.

Yeah. That ought to work.

Yes, buddy makes some horrific shots. And they're not butterflys on his hands, their deaths head moths a la the silence of the lambs.

I must admit that I haven't taken time to differentiate shot quality from the various and sundry women working there. I'm often too enraptured.

Operator, no pistols. I'll challenge you to an Inuit finger pulling contest.

edit: and that's why I'd rather visit foo than advocacy

Right, moths. That's what I meanted! I actually like those tattoos, but that's besides the point. :)

Also, yes, you speak the truth.

Is that a post van incident addition the brakes?

It was a geared bike, so probably post accident ride while the other one is repaired or something

Shiznaz 05-02-07 01:49 PM

I think he has gears too...

I actually have a brake now. Its duppy's old one since he is now sporting the white diacompe (btw, if you are ever about to say you 'rock' something, as in the wear, carry or use sense, to sport is a much finer alternative. Rocking out it still fine with me though.) I gotta buy pads, cable, cable housing and uwrap my bar tape. what a nuisance. However yesterday I was racing towards a light and had to abort and I barely stopped in time and my tire took a beating. It would be nice to have the option to stop really fast, even if weaving is more fun and efficient.

Is this mountain biking? I want to come but not on mtb.

Shiznaz 05-02-07 02:13 PM

its trail riding in the don

I'd ride with you, but I've already put off doing my laundry for a week. Hooray for smelling clothes you pick up off the floor to check if they are wearable! (the synthetic stuff is NEVER wearable. Such stank. I'm going to be a smelly smelly guy on my bike trip)
