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

OP never really asked a question. He was making a statement like "I really enjoy chocolate", "My feet hurt when I walk alot" , or something similarly inane. No need to search for anything.

FWIW, I don't understand it either. Good post.

We need a new acronym, "NASTy". "Not Another Shaving Thread".

Neither do I.
One could speculate that it is an effeminate poseur thingy.
