Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Actually, when I looked at it, your post in the mechanics section did not end with "enjoy". Odd.

Yea, sometimes I get so engrossed in my response to some of these intriguing posts that I forget.
Here's an extra one use it as needed.

asfar as respecting the cookie goes- I had some chinese tonight. My cookie went as follows:

"Good instincts usually tell you what to do before your head has figured it out"


although I still find the "... in bed." add-on to be amusing, I thought it would be somewhat amusing to add-on "on my/your fixie" to the end of them. I lost interest in this idea after typing it out. Nevermind. Now off to practice farting while riding fixed. General Tso's tofu should assist nicely.

My favorite cookie I ever got said, "Help me, I'm trapped in the cookie factory!!!" I didn't know what it meant though, so I threw it away.

RIP oolong the bunny

My favorite fortune ever wasn't even a fortune.
The restaurant I frequent has fortunes in their cookies that have "Learn Chinese" phrases on the back of the fortune.
I enjoyed the meal, payed my respect to the cookie, opened the cookie, read the fortune, flipped the fortune over and it said:
"Learn Chinese"
"Your Name"
"(some phoneticly spelled Chinese words)"
"(some Chinese characters)"

I totally freaked out because I couldn't figure out how they knew.
Man, it took me a week to figure that one out. That cookie sure got the best of me.

RESPECT THE COOKIE!!!!!!!

Enjoy

I like the one with your lucky lotto numbers.

I got one like this once, "Your lucky six numbers: 23, 7, 19, 6, 22, "

They screwed me out of like $150 Million that night!

I wouldn't call it stooping. Its more like the situation has reached such impossible levels that the Superman of bike answers had to step in.

If it had been the Batman of bike answers, mikebv probably would've had a bat-a-rang to the skull

Just be glad the guys from Ibis haven't gotten involved... we would've had a bunch of floating butts instead of pancakes ontop of rabbits.
