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)

how about we have a monkey zone? that will keep the size down. monkeys are okay but guys are guys and they'll let them get messy and smelly and dirty and ... we need a monkey zone.

i also want a constant supply of avocados and non-stringy mangos. and basil. and the greenbag tortilla chips from chicago. and i think i'll just take the bells brewery with me.

Better bring the whole tortilla chip factory to the island just to be on safe side.

The chips are El Ranchero, I was digging those last night with some "La Mexicana" fresh salsa. Excellent combo. Yes, there must be an infinite supply of those.

Hey, what's the power source on this island? Can it be solar cells?

I want a Super Stretch Rickshaw that seats four comfortably in the back and has a twelve monkey tandem in the front to pull me and my posse around town.
I’ll have a pimp cane with a brass monkey on the top and the wine compartment of the rickshaw will always be stocked with Papio.

Enjoy

Yay for monkeys! I won't let mine get smelly and dirty, I'll make sure to bathe the monkey at least twice a week.

As for mangos, the best mangos I've ever had, and I mean like 10 times better than any other mango, were in Pakistan about five years ago. Next runner up would be the mangos in Thailand.

Ah, the good life... a nice clean monkey and a set of big tasty mangos.

Enjoy

Man, I'd consider those fighting words.

Also, I'm still hoping for the eddie money/kenny loggins/huey lewis death match. No matter who wins, we all win.

I think the REAL match there is between Huey and Kenny. Huey Lewis is packin' the Power of Love, it's a powerful thing, but Kenny Loggins is Nobody's Fool and you KNOW he's going to want to take it right into the Danger Zone. All Eddie Money wants is Peace in Our Time.

Besides Eddie Money wouldn't even be there, he'd be on his was to Paradise.

That's a different thing entirely. I'm talking about a straight up 'coked-up frat-rockers of the 80s' battle, not the hard-edged sounds on yanni or kenny g. Besides, you forgot poor michael bolton.

See, that's what you get for using a green time machine. You went to the wrong future. You need a blue time machine....

I saw that on the other thread, I'm very sorry to hear it. Maybe we could all help you plan something special for your friend through the magic of cyberspace?
