Seriously, if you want a hobo to stop bothering you, LET him chug a bottle of johnny powers until hes had his fill. he'll get stabby for a minute or two, but after that hes tame like a kitten.

...this was the wussiest it is allowed to get. if you thought tonight's ride was great and the perfect plan, start shopping for a trainer. .83 doesn't bow down to the weather, and you better be expecting to ride 25-plus miles in this kind of rain and cold without a stop for food or drink if you want to keep it real.

I am waiting for a bus because I am incredibly lame and weak, and I am sad I missed the gypsy taxi.

A fool's errand this has been!

I biked home (downtown!) and got thoroughly drenched. I think that rain gear of some sort is definitely in order.

And learn how to pee on the bike without slowing down

Lee's right that was some bullshit, we should have gone to Richmond Beach.

We spent most of the night waiting for someone to finish up their tater tots.

We probably could have, but we spent most of the night waiting for someone to finish up their mexi-fries.

Not that anything is appropriately labeled in the place. They're not taking liberties with the naming convention so much as haphazardly labeling shit and undermining my peoples' food by referring to it as something completely different.

How about I move to Japan and start up an American restaurant where hamburgers are "hot dogs," hot dogs are "corn dogs," "Mac n' Cheez" is mashed potatoes with orange crap on top, you can get the "Freedomburger w/ Cheese": two glorious long, meat patties on pita bread, both slathered in thick nacho cheese sauce, with no option for a regular Freedomburger sans cheese, and we'll serve "Ameri-fries" which will be tater tots. Workers will have to wear blue jeans and a white polo.

So it's getting to be that time of year for rain. If anyone wants to have a fender party, I'm game. I'll be hitting the rubber dumpster and getting mud flap stock. Let me know if you have a prefered date, or if I should stop offering to help.

I'll do it in China too, profit margins will be less but I can use it as a supply chain for inexpensive goods which would assist with general overhead. The food will be so marginally American that it'll be acceptable to drop chains everywhere. Of course then I'll have to change the "Freedomburger w/ Cheese" to "Peoples'burger Deluxe" (because cheese product may be reallocated for different regions and replaced with special sauce); whatever helps the bottom line.

it was a damn cool idea. Not sure where folks would find pieces of flat, heavy gauge plastic, but it looked sharp.

i might just do the midnight race and get way dead last (not that i wouldnt get dead last anyway)

wish me luck!
