Bike Forums - Addiction XXIV

Velo vol might come in handy out there. Word is he's trying to earn a badge for his sash. He's got to at least have the cookie sale badge. He won't say. Modest I guess.

That brings to mind the Everybody Love Raymond episode when he takes on Peggy the Cookie Selling Queen... which one is VV -- Raymond or Peggy*.

* It's a no-win question. Hehehehehehe!

Yeah, I have walked all of a mile in my new shoes. And I don't have any excuses.

WHOOOSSHHH...

Speaking of marshmallows, in comes WRENCHY the mechanic with a one liner. Don't you have something you can go torque?

Which one was it?

Tel me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me...

(It's an interrogation technique I learned from a soapie).

If you have a slow connection like we always seem to have, you can see all the crap that is downloaded just to get to a page as it lumbers through the "looking, waiting, download" processes.

googleapis is monotonously regular. Who knows what information it is fingering.

People fear the government spying on them. It's the likes of the big IT companies that are clear and present dangers, and we all let them get away with it with nary a bat of the eyelid.

Now I'm back to my google quest for information...

The Black Forest fire has now destroyed more homes than the Waldo Canyon fire a year ago. The community is really stepping up. Fire is only 5% contained as of this morning, 379 homes just...gone.

You need to see Continuum on SyFy (season 1 on Netflix). Big companies ARE the government in the future.

Hey, I admired both teams coming into this series. Ya gotta appreciate a well played championship between two talented teams. It'll go 7 and everybody will get their money's worth.

The only thing better will be if there's a octuple OT game 7 where the only players left on the court are the trainers and assistant coaches. lol

You lived in Colorado?

Looks like the Heat will win if they decide to show up.
