So when deciding on a saddle how do I tell if it's an octalink or square taper?

it depends on how cool it looks, and how much it hurts your ass to ride with it.

Ty Ty 04-15-08 04:02 PM

Well it's in the shape of a lightning bolt and it has NJS KEIRIN and FAST embroidered in gold across it.

barba 04-15-08 04:03 PM

Did you name yourself after Ty Ty Walden from "God's Little Acre", Ty Ty?

Ty Ty 04-15-08 04:04 PM

Yes, that and my name.

barba 04-15-08 04:10 PM

That is quite a book book to be named after.

per cap, I hear ID has more. They can be spotted by their disapproving expressions at you while you're having fun.

if i see a blond guy wearing slacks, a polo shirt, and running shoes, i assume its a mormon, especially if he has a large adams apple. this comes from the longstanding Mormon tendencies to; 1) be blond, 2) dress sharply [slacks and polo] and 3) run cross country [running shoes and large adams apple due to low bmi].

Two people in suits with LDS name tags is a dead give away also

sp00ki 04-15-08 07:46 PM

also mormon literature. that usually closes the deal.

peugotpigeon 04-15-08 08:09 PM

octalink bb..like octopi...octopuses? multipe of octopus

Velocità 04-15-08 08:27 PM

i grew up with an elderly mormon couple across the street from me who had a guest house for missionaries. every couple of weeks we would have those jackasses come and try to convert us. they all look the same...dark slacks, white collard shirt, nametag, backpack, nicely cropped hair, cruising around on their dept store mtn bikes...

Lift up they skirt and look for the knee length panties. Or look for a CTR (choose the right) ring.

I'm a mormon gone bad.

bonelesschicken 04-15-08 10:13 PM

The only other foreign people I've seen in the town that I work in are two mormon dudes. I always bump into them on the street and we give each other the foreigner nod. Nobody has tried to convert me yet but I guess thats cause theyre after the Koreans.

edit: this thread is pure gold

666pack 04-15-08 10:19 PM

i went to high school with a mormon.
he just recently got back from a three year mission in china.

<sarcasm>sounds like a lot of fun to me.</sarcasm>

1Rider 04-15-08 10:34 PM

Mormons are pure gold

kemmer 04-15-08 11:49 PM

Serious multiple lolage from this thread. Good stuff all around, especially the lauging at mormons stuff, but here's the winner:

Also look for white T-shirts (aka magik undies) worn under another T-shirt, particularly in situations where people aren't wearing any t-shirt. (swimming pool, volleyball, basketball).

Keep an eye out for large quantities of caffeinated soft drinks early in the morning. Seriously, who drinks a 64oz Mountain Dew with breakfast? Mormons do, that's who.

I thought mormons couldn't have caffeine. Or is that Jehova's Witnesses?

It's advised against, but not forbidden. Coffee is expressly prohibited, hence the large quantities of mt dew instead of coffee.

True. Mormon rebels drink caffeinated soda; they think they're all bad ass.
Also, Mormons say "oh my heck" instead of "oh my God", and also "gahl!"
And they LOVE black people who are good at sports.

Ty Ty 04-16-08 12:24 PM

I downgraded to the in house soma hellyer/andel crankset because I figure it's ******** to get such a nice crank for road use in the rain etc.

Another smart move:rolleyes:. Your cranks are practically the last component to care if its raining. Maybe you should cancel your whole order and try again.

Why don't the Mormons realize that Diet Pepsi actually has more caffeine than Mt. Dew?

Do your soda homework, you damned Mormons.

Well that and it's overkill for my use, and It will be locked up for long periods and having a 250 dollar crank to entice crooks isn't really my cup of tea. Already had my car stolen so no need for my bike too...
