I've essentially been asked to marry twice from two different women. So it appears I've had some form of choice in the matter.. although it did ultimately end both relationships. One was when I was around 19-20 to a same aged Sweedish gal, the other I was 24 and she a 33 year old Chinese gal. Remember the pot belly is a new thing for me alright.#staystrongdontfold

Poor girls just wanted a foot in the door for US citizenship and you crushed their dreams. For shame, [MENTION=411791]topslop1[/MENTION].

Both were legal US citizens at the time. I should've upped with the Sweed and then applied for a dual passport. Get in on some of that guaranteed basic income money those socialists been gettin' down with. Free ride for me, not her :roflmao2:


Edit: Interview tomorrow for CT based job, so at least I can get the hell out of NY. I hope that my year here gets filed in that box in my mind where 'trauma goes to die'. Another year or so of servitude in CT and then I should be a big enough boy to finally go South.

Damn, I hated those bikes. Trek asked me if I wanted to buy it at the end of the season and I said, F**K NO."

Don't care. Still not shaving.

I'm sure that you're exactly the same weight in both pictures.

Grant's just doing his thing. Nothing wrong with that.

I was going to come back at this talking about how he goes out of his way to post rants about bike specific clothes and clipless pedals, but then I realized that I read BikeSnobNYC all the time. So I guess my problem with Grant is that he's too serious. :lol:

Speaking of never go full ******...

True story: About 2 years ago I was at a department of Medicine meeting at the hospital. The head of the department told us that we should NOT use the term "Mentally ********" and we should say "developmentally delayed."

After a brief pause, I yelled out (joking of course, I don't want to offend anyone), "That is SO ********!"

New here and I have a question. I just bought a Caad12 Ultegra for $1850 otd and I was wondering if i got a good deal. My wife is skeptical.
Never change 41, never change. :D

datlas 05-12-16 03:20 PM

BTW I got up early today and before work went for a 6.5 mile run followed shortly by 30 minutes in the pool.

The digital scale at the gym said 138.2 pounds today.

There is so much overlap on ridiculous 41 threads today that I was starting to wonder if one of my comments got deleted. I checked three wrong threads before I found the right one. :lol:

I made a Strava promise that I'd run a 5k this month.

Wonder if that'll actually happen.

Should I tape my nipples?

Not necessary for a 5k. Maybe for longer events. That's my experience, YMMV.

What is "otd"?

WhyFi 05-12-16 05:14 PM

Ugh - 2 down, 19 to go, but I'm going to need more liquor; force feeding cats pills is the worst.

"out the door," I'd wager.

Yes. Safety first.

Young trainsnorter is all Luke Skywalker-ey, and older trainsnorter is all Ben Kenobi-ey..

And the latest Stasr Wars movie sucked.


So there is that.
