Today I had another run in with my meathead neighbor. He was outside washing his stupid car as I rolled up to my house and he said, "Hey man, sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way when I said that about your bike". Before I could say "No big deal" he says "I just figured you wouldn't be riding such a gay-looking bike, that's all." and started chuckling. I responded, "Says the dude who wears tights and gets all worked up running around in a field with a bunch of sweaty guys who are also wearing tights." (he plays baseball) and came inside.

I hate that mother****er.

The light blue BK?

I hate guys that look down on some colors as girly or in this case gay

Scrodzilla 07-21-12 04:17 PM

No, it's my pink Dodici he seems to really have an issue with.

Screw him. I want a pink frame for my all black road group set

Retem 07-21-12 04:26 PM

easy solution lay his ass out one day he will think twice about being a ****** the rest of his life

Mumonkan 07-21-12 05:46 PM

Hes afraid of you, you obviously know something he doesnt about the way the world works. His closed minded peabrain cannot understand the concept that colors arent "for" either gender.

what if you had a fg that handles like your caad?

caads are sick bikes btw. I once owned a (2005?) caad8 r1000 and it was the best riding frame i've owned imo.

Today I registered on the forums and I have been riding my SE Draft Lite fixed for about 6 months now, and am just looking to get advice and meet new people.

real man is not afraid of pink..

Oh..BTW .. according to Zigmund - everyone who is trying to make a comment on how he is not a gay on every possible occasion, just trying to cover himself....
And it is not easy to be him.

Today I bought my first FG. Brand new Dawes SST AL for $350, already built! Can't wait to pick it up tomorrow.

Today, I woke up to find out my mother has been laid off from her job of 13 years. We then went shopping with the sqrlfriend to buy stuff to eat. We are now about to light up the grill.

**** a job.

Today I lost my PDW Radbot 1000, it fell off my bike while mountain biking. May not be a big deal to some, but that light was quite expensive after overseas shipping and taxes and it was indeed a rad light. I'm real bummed about it. At least realized it late enough that it dint ruin the ride. It was a 60km ride with the most brutal climb I've ever witnessed at one point my bike came to a complete stop and I could not pedal it anymore due to the steepness and I almost fell over, I'm still not sure how I manage to unclip my foot.

jimmytango 07-21-12 08:17 PM

I may have lost my job tonight. One boss said to cut out early, so I left. Twenty minutes later, I got a text from the owner asking why I bailed. ****ty part is that I didn't get the text until I was home.

Adrian_ 07-21-12 08:21 PM

Today I watched this 20 times. The video is made so much funnier just by adding different lyrics.

Sherblock 07-21-12 08:37 PM

Leaving for chicago tomorrow (two weeks there). It's supposed to be really hot. I hate heat.

Your immediate supervisor told you to leave. **** them and draw unemployment for a while.

I explained why I left. Haven't heard back. We will see. It's hard to get unemployment when your "paycheck" consists of money in am envelope. Under-the-table employment has it's perks, to be sure. However, it also has huge downfalls.

How much was that knife? Did you find it on sale or anything? I don't think I can shell out $70 for one of those.
