Random evil thoughts for the day

[roadie gal]

A friend of mine and I were out to lunch today. Right in front of the restaurant there was parked a yellow-green Lotus. The color was so bright it was hard to look at. My only thought was that I wished I could put a flyer on the window that said, "Compensating for a small male member with an expensive automobile? We can help. Call 555-2848 for a free sample of our new male enhancer."

I should make up a few of those. There are way too many sports cars and Hummers around here...

So this begs the question.....

What would the bike equivalent be?

....and is there one for men and one for women?

:cool: :D

ROFLMAO!! Way tooo true!!!!!! If you get some of those flyers printed up, I'll ride by to pick some up...

I think I saw one last weekend. A buddy showed me a project in his shop: a Tarmac SL2 being built up with the yet-unreleased 09 Campagnolo Super Record. The cassette was the cheapest thing on it, with a price tag of..... $480. The whole bike was shod with the new Hyperon2 wheelset and would have a sticker of well over 13k.

I can imagine the sort who can't wait to buy it
:p


EDIT: Of course, a Tarmac might not be Euro enough... might have to look to the 'Nago sect ;)

Overindulgences like these should be strictly outlawed!! :cool:;)

Oh no, I didn't know there was a quota! :eek:

Um, does anyone outside of Northern CA want to buy a very nice used Porsche 911? I've heard that it can compensate for a small member, but I can't vouch for that. :rolleyes:

how do you know it isn't owned/driven by a female?

We don't, but I'd bet the odds.

This reminded me of an anti speeding commercial on aust tv..

A person who has a tendency to hurt my feelings in a way that seems intentional told me their computer crashed and they had to shell out a large sum to replace it.... I thought it was karma and smiled when they walked away.

in regard to expensive things, not bikes or cars, a person can buy a flute, yes, a flute, that has a layer of silver for sound projection, and a layer of gold for warmth of sound. It is made by an American flute maker and sells for nearly $30,000. Yes I got the zero's right. Maybe I'll just sell my house and car and all my personal posessions and buy one and sit out on the street playing it with the case open for people to throw money into.

We did end up seeing the owner. Yep, male.

I think most women are more practical. There's no room in that little 2 seater for dogs, bikes, groceries, friends, etc.

As a flute player myself it sometimes comes up in conversation about how expensive flutes can be and people scoff at me when I tell them. I had the opportunity to play some of these fine instruments at a flute fair I attended a few years back. It's hard to fathom holding that much money in your hands. You sure don't want to drop it! But oh....they played so sweetly, almost effortlessly! I also got to play some alto, contra-alto, and bass flutes. Talk about cool!

I'm waiting for Mr. Silver to chime in about his Mercedes SL.


Former owner of a Mercedes SL450,

my mother drives a Miata. At her age, she figured it was time she bought a car that wasn't practical, because all her others were.

I will never forget coming out of Staples one time to see the stereotypical middle-aged white guy with his brand new Porsche Boxster. He'd bought a desk, one of the ones that you assemble yourself, probably for his roughly 9 year old son who was with him. He's looking at the car... looking at the boy... looking at the box. We didn't stay long enough to find out whether the guy (1) tied the boy to the bumper, (2) called U-Haul to rent a truck big enough for his car, the desk, himself and the boy, or (3) called the kid's mom to come bail them out... :D

Well, I drive a Mini Cooper, but I can fit a lot into that little car. Including dogs and groceries. :p DH drives the SUV. He likes luxury. Me, I like handling. :D

[Aggie_Ama]

I drive a Dodge Caliber, it can carry a lot of things and supports weekend car camping trips. I love my little car even though my husband says she goes from 0 to 60 in 60 minutes. :o

DH drives a big ol' Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab Hemi. No insecurity, he is just a born and bred Texas boy and wouldn't be caught dead in a compact truck (oooohhhh and don't get them started on foreign trucks). He doesn't have it lifted of anything but it is still tall and big, all stock though.

Appearances can be deceiving though, I know plenty of laid back guys who drive sports cars (expensive ones).

Well, as long as you don't place one on my sports car!!!

Love my MINI - I will always own a MINI. Thinking of getting a MINIature trailer for it so I can haul stuff.
MINIs are da bomb!
I also get pretty good gas mileage out of it. The new ones get better miliage.

I have too many random evil thoughts/day to come up with just one. I'm basically a catty horrible person!
