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)

I'll totally bring my tall bike and joust the hell out of you guys. Until some champion finally brings me down, in which case a maiden will have to recussitate me and feed me pie and beer as I recuperate. Then more jousting.

Monkey butlers would be nice as well, and we could teach them to change tires.

Lets get started on this. I've probably got 12 or 13 dollars in my wallet, how much do islands cost?

peace,
sam

This is post #29, and I'm surprised that no one has mentioned pie or hipsters yet!

BostonFixed, in the last half-dozen posts that I've seen of yours, you've managed to use the "h" word. At least we can count on you....i guess...? {blegh -- we need a vomit smiley}

Check post #27 where I mention that I want a maiden to feed me beer and pie while I recuperate from my tall bike jousting injuries. I think there was a previous pie mention as well.

peace,

The only reason you won't joust the monkeys is because you are afraid of them. Instead of bikes, the monkeys will ride Emus, and will joust with long pieces of pointy bamboo. Fear them! Fear the monkeys!!!

peace,
sam

Do not anger the monkeys.

You have been warned.

Salome didn't say it, but I assumed her community prohibits cars and all but human-powered vehicles.

I'd love to live someplace with year-round riding weather (I ride regardless of the weather) and no cars.
Just bikes, and trikes, and quadracycles.

Maybe if we all just move to someplace no one else wants, and elect Salome mayor...

said island should also have (in addition to temperate climate, monkey servants, jousting tournaments, etc) a hilly section, and a flat section. for those days when you're feeling it, and the days you really ain't.

oh yeah, also: a gorilla, to keep all the monkeys in line. we pay him well.

can we make this whole thing happen? please please please please

somebody be stoopid bill gates rich $$$$$$$$ and do this.

Besides the pixies (the band) can we have real pixies...cause pixies are hot...and ligers!

Rodenbach! Both the noun & the verb (okay I invented the verb, but its fun).

Monkeys are gross and we may need a monkey free-zone. Unless of course salome is into them...then ikt'd be up to her.
