OT - Politics, Religion... the taboos

[LBTC]

When my friends kid asked me why my socks didn't match I told her it was coz one was a boy sock and one was a girl sock!

In other words, the rest of us have gay socks! wow! I had no idea!



Namaste,

Just what I thought, I can't even ride my bike straight

[spazzdog]

youz grrls is cwackin' me up!

Full kit... noooooo. Such a "poser" thing to do. I don't even buy the pro jerseys, even though there are a couple I'd like to have (skittles team and jelly belly team... heaven help me if a gummy bear team ever happens).

Nothing makes me cringe so much as a fella with 'dun laps' disease huffin and puffin up the road in full USPS kit and ridin a pro TREK bike.

spazz (i know, that was kinda mean... i'm sorry already)

Ooooh, my poor hubby.
Don't laugh too hard as he puffs by on his Mapei Colnogo w/jersey/shorts, ok? Does it help that bike, outfit and rider are all a little outdated??
That it's not the typical Lance getup?
That he harbors no unrealistic opinions of himself as a rider?

He may have a bit of a gut but he's almost everything I could ask for in a partner and I wouldn't trade him for any hardbodied dude on the planet.

(You weren't mean and I know what you mean but DH was what popped up when I read that....Don't tell him, he's having a bit of a complex lately and trying so awfully hard to ditch the belly...He's hot even with and not just 'cause it's a hunnert degrees out there! )

Say YES to civil unions for all people who wish them!!! I'm not religious, does that mean I'm unionized, not married?? Works for me. Just give EVERYONE equal rights already (why does this seem like such a no-brainer to me and so many others but hasn't been done already?)

Who are we to judge your hubby? Just as long as he says "hello" or something when we pass.

That's my latest thing - trying to engage riders in conversation as they pass me going up Diablo. I got one guy on Sunday to tell Thom that my orange jersey did NOT clash with my bike.

I'm the waver/says hi! person! He'd wave back though..

And clash? How can anyone possibly clash on a bike?? I figure the scarier you look the farther the cars will stay away (except those that tend to veer the direction they're staring ).

[Veronica]

Waves are good. I wave at people coming at me. I expect a wave or nod back. I understand people not waving when they're descending. I like my two hands on the bike thank you.

I meant folks who pass going in the same direction, need to say something.
