Stupidest Bike Accessory Ever

[Triskeliongirl]

FYI, there are several versions. I got the waterproof one, and as long as its on there my saddle has never gotten wet. I noticed they say the one I have doesn't fit women's saddle's but it fits great on my Brooks Finesse.

See this link, I have the top one:

Just so everyone knows, I was joking . . . . .

Nuh-uh!! Too late to backpedal now!

So if everyone is using the re-usable shopping bags (as indicated by the thread with the same name) then WHERE are the plastic ones coming from??? Does everyone have a 'secret stash' they didn't own up to in the other thread??? Why is it ok to use plastic bags on your saddle but not ok to use them while grocery shopping???

i honestly *don't* have a stash of plastic bags, other than the ones that the newspaper comes in, and those are nowhere wide enough to fit on my brooks b68s. the few that i have, i use to line the trash can next to the litter box. i've gotten really good at using reusable bags at the grocery/target/etc, and if i do forget them, i get paper bags, which i then use to line the paper recycling bin. so i don't have a bunch plastic bags around to use to protect my seat, therefore i'm very glad to have my brooks saddle cover.

I've discovered that this makes fabulous popcorn and I use a lot less butter than with an air popper.

I myself like this for making popcorn, using a little canola or peanut oil at the bottom of the pan.
The cover is definitely waterproof, by the way- in case you get caught in the rain.

Must join hijack, must join hijack.

I had a bag in my left hand yesterday but the cashier had the stuff in a bag before I could blinke or remember to say something. I realized that even if I switched out, the bag would almost certainly just end up in the trash rather than containing the next person's stuff.

I get anickel for using my own bag. I save it up and buy a lottery ticket with every other dollar. (Helps motivate me to think remembering the bag will make me rich, snorkk..)

True, the Cuisinart one isn't rainproof but because the steam can escape the result is so crispy and light.

Hmm, what's for dinner?

And, yah, I'm sure the red makes my popcorn mo' bettah than your popcorn.

My plastic bags are used for the poop-a-rama cleaning session in the backyard.

I'll have to order one of those covers.

Why not rubber band some maxi pads on the seat? They are absorbent, you know

[sundial]

...maxi pads.....They are absorbent, you know

Yeah, I found that out....in jr high....while on a float trip....

Ahh, but there's the beauty!- I just hook a recycled large paper clip over the edge of the pot and VOILA!- the perfect steam escape adapter!

Hmm, what's for dinner?

I confess....rice pudding.

Sure.

Oh, here I am last year making popcorn for the masses while camping at our music festival- I think I made like 5 pots in a row! (IGNORE that roll of fat that is likely just an optical illusion) :
