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)

NIMS, you're in SD? I followed TFD for a long time.. never knew it was a SD based person. Like, whoa. I used TFD commics in many a presentation to some big wigs. Best one ever was "Sand isn't food" when I did a financial counseling session. I got "that" look.

Wait wait, I can't take credit for that site, although I wish I could! TPFD is created by Drew and he and Natalie live in Ohio.

I'm wearing a TPFD t-shirt right now though.

Just laminated and mailed my and my gf's cards out, although I forgot to include my username or anything. Oh well.

Space Monkey Spokecard Exchange Photo Set

All the cards have been sent out except for jol's. to jol: the little place i went to send them out didn't know what to do with the international coupon. i'm going to a real post office this afternoon. thanks to everyone that sent stuff out, sorry i couldn't give nicer prizes. let's do it again sometime next year.

edit: Oh yeah, if you want to download the wallpaper, remember to click the little magnifying lens that says "all sizes." then, click "download the large size." i forgot to put my cards on there, oh well.

Well poop on me. I stayed up late on the 3rd doing my design and just didn't have any way to get it printed and laminated in time. So here's what would someone would have got had I gotten it together in time.

I guess I could do a straight trade if someone wanted (with apologies to the OP for possibly hijacking the thread)?

Freezed dried ice cream... mmmm. Only ice cream others don't want you to share. I now know where I'm taking my Sunday stroll/bike ride. I just hope that Souvenir shop next to Johnson Space Center still sells the stuff.

i see my 2 on the collage. The cartoon guy popping pills. and one with condoms in formation on one side and the fire alarm sign on the other!

The monk card just made me think- maybe next time we should all put "card exchange 07" on our cards.
You know- like collectible xmas ornaments or someting.

yeah refry, your card was late and the last one in, had no return envelope, and held chaos in high regard. that equals candy.

jol- it's in the mail. that coupon was only good for 84 cents, but most of the postage was probably the stars i put in anyways so it's on me.

so what's next?
