A SHOT block people! What kind of person do you think I am?????

[Dr. Liz]

Me? I'd let it go and pretend that I had eaten it anyway. I really don't like the things (they slither down my throat only slightly less worse than GU). I'd probably just, uh, lie to my riding partners and say I was still needing fuel, and stop at the next gas station for some fig newtons. But that's just me.

Umm if it were me i'd pick it up..

Reason? I don't have a never ending supply of shot bloks but i do have a couple of very nice dealers.. Still, i'm sure it won't kill me to pick up! We're going to go sometime right?

Can you see the headline "panic in bike community, biker killed by a blob of blok.." Cycle for your lives
*ahem*

What doesn't kill me only postpones the inevitable.

Hmmm, new and interesting insights into your psyche there Dar...

Naw, you know I'm just yanking your chain. Funny that, if I dropped it out on the road, I'd wash it off. Especially if I was down to my last one and needed it. When working at the hospital, no matter what I drop (clean glove, whatever) I never pick it up and use it. (well, of course I pick it up, I just throw it away) We have a sparkling clean facility but there is NO 5 sec rule in the hospital.

So what flavor was it anyway?

I actually had this question go through my mind today on a trail in VA. I dropped half of a snack bar right after taking a bite. I quickly picked it up, washed it off, inspected it and plopped it in my mouth. I think it tasted better.

You know I have to pace what strange things I share with you It was pina colada. Not as good as the cran-fizz IMHO. Now if it was a gel I'd a left it!

With my terrible snot-rocket skills, the goofed snot block is about as likely for me as a dropped shot blok.

But, I would have done what you did...with the shot blok.

Shot blok, heck yes. Love those.

Gu? I probably would've squeezed it out on the ground on purpose.

I recently tossed a walnut to the dog. He caught it and politely dropped it on the floor, rejecting it. I looked at the walnut, looked at the dog, looked at my boyfriend, and asked, "Does the 5 second rule apply to the dog's mouth?" We're still cracking up over that one.

And NO, I did not eat the walnut!

Slight hijack...yesterday I tried a new gel for me: CarBoom brand, orange & vanilla flavor. OMGosh, it was GOOD. I am a convert.
