Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I dunno, subtly shifted it to "haircut from hell" or the "paintjob from hell", wouldn't call it a hijack. We clicked over another page anyway.

It's a nice AERO hairdo Rad, Fuji_cyclist would pay good money for that. I bet it shaves seconds off every mile.

You ruined any chance of making things right with these boys by taking the whole thing public. By bringing it here and spending the effort to prove you were right, it only agravated an already bad situation. This is not black and white. Were you hoping that they'd admit you were 100% right and then want to make up and ride with you? By trying to justify your position, you hardly allowed this guy (and the ohers) the room to accept their role and meet you halfway.

You'll understand this better after you've been married a few years.

Don't ever mention the word "plug" to a guy with transplants.

Sorry about the account thing - it wasn't that way before.

And what's with iana bringing the thread back around to it's real topic?

Patriot, I've seen you. You should hope you have as much hair as I do 13 years from now - when you're my age.

I know, I should talk, eh?

13 years? You mean less than 10. I'll be a whopping 35yo this year.

I'm not exactly playing on a full field of natural turf anymore either. Maybe I just need a little fertilizer?

Getting up the noses of a few people again, Raiyn (for reviving an old thread) and my58vw coz it's fun.

Does this sort of sum up the situation?
