"XTC - What!!! you ass hole! you've been riding other bikes!"

Haha, this is good, I thought it was one of those failed post. Entertainment aside, he doesn't provide much details though...

That's pretty funny, but considering it's a mountain bike.. bet he had to wash the sheets after he let her in?

as an addendum to how funny it is, i sure hope (and think) he's aware how problematic the language would be if he were talking about a person.

it's funny because it satirizes misogyny but i wanted to address that before people got too carried away. the language is not appropriate for, say, this forum.

Thanks.

I don't usually even open up goofy Craigslist ads because - well - it's a waste of time. I'm glad that I opened this one.

This place isn't exactly enlightened when it comes to critical rhetoric. Remember this thread, which ran out a natural, full two-page life? I would find this a much less offensive atmosphere if we could trade a little more "dont use breaks n use gooogle n ur an ideot" for a little less of that.


At least this is an act of parody rather than a Tim Taylor grunt-a-thon, though we appear to be moving in that direction.
