Take this survey, cause he's a standup guy, and pretty much the only other guy I know in my town that rides a fixie.

CLICK HERE FOR SURVEY! DO IT! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO! PBR FOR EVERYONE!

ah don't sweat it, it's just me. "fixie" makes my skin crawl. as does "tastemaker" and the word "sophomore" used where second would have sufficed. also "fast forward to…" — ugh! "flash forward to…" makes me want to murder.

YellowFixedGear 10-15-05 05:06 PM

im with Eddiebrennan on this one

Plinkerton 10-15-05 05:15 PM

What's a tastemaker?

Burke, we should call it "The FG Survey" in honor of Paul. That'd be funny. I was thinking of spraypainting that on my bike.

I think a better label would be "fixed gear". Now that you mention it, I find that I don't really say "fixie" ever either... The FG is still my favorite though.

Flash forward this morning, I had a wicked hangover. (Sorry, I just wanted to say flash forward).

twice, at that!!!!

:lol:

Plinkerton 10-15-05 05:37 PM

I love Crown, but damn, sometimes that ****'ll come back and bite you in the ass. I think I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it...

But Burke, it wasn't as bad as that one night though... Thank goodness... And I felt relatively well enough to paintball today, though I got my ass handed to me all day long. And I have welts all over...

Oh well...

burkenaut 10-15-05 06:08 PM
