Thread Drift

[salsabike]

I have a crush on Choco. It's my hope that Nanci will fondly remember her hiking/rattlesnake video (in which she snickered helplessly while her friend unhappily pondered the snake in the path), and someday show us a little video of Choco swimming ecstatically in his pond.

At one of my elementary schools, the custodian had a boa constrictor named Eli. She used to bring him around to the classrooms to show the kids. Some staff member knitted Eli a yellow and white muffler and I have a picture somewhere of Eli wearing his muffler. I think Maizey needs a GLAMOROUS costume, possibly including a red feather boa and a little tiara.

MP, what's the career move? AND I mailed the very first Thread Drift book to you yesterday. Finally!! You read it, you get to pick the next TD person to send it to.

What would you say is the alternative?

Well, being a gentleman, naturally.

Yeah! Video! We want live action Choco video!

I cast my vote for glamorous, too!

So, FedEx says my bike caught a westbound truck at 10:52 this morning. It also says my bike weighs 0.1 pounds.

So just WHAT did the bike shop ship?

Oh, lordie, another thing for me to fret about...

And my darn Brooks is pinging and it's driving me nuts but I still love it and don't tell the Brooks Cult I'm having issues again or they'll come get me and I really do love my Brooks but maybe I'm not meant to have springs and don't let my experience stop anyone from buying a Brooks. Really.

[Kitsune06]

*hug* it's ok, Knot, I won't tell the Brooks cult your DIY surgery didn't completely work... They make me nervous, too.

Everything will work out with your bike, I'm sure of it. Positive bike energy! *reconsiders posting that because it sounds so hippy*

Nanci, we want to see the synchronised snakes

Knotted, breath in, breath out, repeat.

concentrate on window cling stickers.

what was that Trek? I can't hear you over the sound of my near-hysterical hyperventilation.

(Money! Saddle! Bike! Laundry! Dishes! Resume! Bills!)

Man, I gotta get l@id and soon...

[KnottedYet]

Kit - did you get the B17S?

I'm gonna call Bill and see about switching to a B17S or B72. Darn it, I do really like this saddle, but I can't stand the noise! (and I have to wonder if my saddle is "special" cuz I've not heard many other folks talk about noisy seats)

[Kitsune06]

Someday, Trek, someday... you, too, can wear the tux and feel like a total penguin.

*glances at Knotted*
What was that in the "Pet Peeves" thread about literally blowing up? does that happen? If I see smoke etc on the northern horizon tonight/tomorrow morning, I suppose I'll find out. Yes, I did get the B17S. It's nice, but I keep wondering if it's a little too wide. Then again, I have no problems when wearing the actual lycra shorts, and anything much narrower is pretty uncomfortable...

In the mean time, I'll just keep writing about my relationship to my bike, and other bikers and their bikes, and keep considering storing nodoz and ibuprophen in the bedroom. No excuses then, right? ...right?

[KnottedYet]

Who blow up? What? <scurries off to look at Pet Peeves>

Kitsune06 "Someday, Trek, someday... you, too, can wear the tux and feel like a total penguin."

oh no, not the tacky light blue one even with tails

I'd better surf off to pet peeves.

Maybe it was just how I read that...

btw, I think noisy seats might be a more personal problem.
*shushes her inner 9-year old and makes her go to bed*

*raises arms in victory* I managed to get into a conversation AND somehow send both people off to another thread within 5 minutes. I win... I think. Alone, so very alone...
Not the blue tux, I was thinking the classic black one...

[KnottedYet]

I'm back, because I just couldn't cope with pet peeves long enough to find explosions.

and yes, my inner 9 year old deliberately left the reference to "seat", to see if anyone would get it.

should've known you would, Kit.

Gotta go to bed now. Alone. So very alone...

[Kitsune06]

Well, pardon my actually noticing the word 'seat'.

*hug* take care, Knot.

explosions are on page 1.

Beta - you got a (n avatar/signature) facelift! Nice. Keep us guessing....

Lise - The quote means "This life's for me" and is from this cheesy french punk/pop song from 1977. I mentioned it a few pages back on TD with my iTunes downloading. And I figure having a french signature line angers the Republican Party.

Ren and Stimpy was one of my favorite cartoons, especially the early seasons. I had a green iguana in college named Stimpy. I love the one with the candy-like button. I also have the happy happy joy joy song on my iPod.

Just think how fast you'll go!

Lise - You're very brave to enter the world of Match.com again. While there are normal, great people on there some of the responses are scarrrrrrrrrrrrrry. I made up a fake screen name and profile on AOL back in the day (like 1999) and you wouldn't believe some of the things people emailed me. The pictures were my favorite(?) I put hints in it to let people know it was a joke, and only 1 guy got it. About 89 others believed I was this blonde bombshell who worked at a sperm bank in Baldknob Arkansas. I was bored ok?
