I've been riding an old tire and tube, about 10-15 year old specialized turbo-s, and I get a flat the day before I'm expecting my new cassette/tire/chain to come for my new wheel, plus I bought new long stem tubes today. Its the first flat I've gotten on that tire in 10 years, although I haven't been riding consistently during that time but I put 500+ miles on it this month.

I didn't get the flat while riding, it was just flat when I got home tonight, when I wasn't going to ride due to the heavy rain. I'll patch it for one more ride, but then that's it.

........it's like rain, on your wedding day!............or a free ride, when you've already paid.......

Isn't it ironic that Alanis doesn't understand the meaning of irony?

gawd that song drives me up a wall. Not one example of irony in the whole song....or is that the point? I doubt she's that clever. I guess the guy who is afraid of flying, and then dies in a crash on his first attempt to get over it is ironic....so ONE case in the whole miserable tune.

What annoys you more- the imporoper use of irony, or her nasal whining voice?

how about the harmonica "solos." Just like the ones I took when I was three. Blow out, suck in, blow out...voila!


erm....sorry zacster, we hijacked yer thread. Good luck with the new bits!

I don't like the hump in her back. Creeps me out.
