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)

You are, at least as far as people I ride with. Second shift at work sees me sober every once in awhile (probably over the limit from the night before when I go in in the morning).

Are you sure the drinking more is my fault, or is that everyone on the sat night ride's fault? Our morning rides are sans liquor...

Of course, we could change that pretty easily...

Oh, I'm not saying the drinking more is anyone's fault but my own. I'm drinking 3 times what I was 2 months ago, which just means I'm drinking 6-9 beers a week instead of 2-3 Tom Collins. Besides, someone has to be sober enough to keep you away from the parked cars.

Yeah, Chuck's not the person for that. Still haven't heard from the owner yet. Maybe I should have been following you instead of him...

Geez maybe I should get up on Wednesdays.
I am wondering what to do with the drunk tank song, as I work in the profession and got my start at a "drunk tank." It was a detox center, and we medically detoxed people off of that vile conncotion known as alcohol. I guess after loosing a couple friends to their bouts with relapsing, I didn't think it was too funny. I guess it is just that I work in the field and have seen too much to kid about it. Sorry.
I also have to admit there is part of me that craves for a shot of Chevas neat with a Guniess to chase. Of course that's just to start, er clear the palete for what's to come.
