Shane contacted our squid team and came on the "meet the team ride". He said his boss was very happy with his riding and that they would help get matching jerseys for the whole team with "Shane" on the back.
Somehow he didn't make the cut - Stanglor would have stayed on our team if he knew Shane was joining.

oh man though, you missed 99% of the good stuff... all of which got vegetablerized. the best part was his claim that "he was willing to sit there and keep typing all day" which quickly dropped when derrick pointed out that he had a big list of vegetable words.

yes, kids, Shane Lees exists. My boss hired him to sell classifieds ads at the Weekly as an "FU" just before he quit.

Whatever happened to Claire?
She bailed on Ben Country and hasn't been around since.

I'm not sure if I feel smart for having read that entire thread at work or not.
That made the Breakfast Ride and Airport Ride threads look like

But I like the first one better. It may have featured the first appearance of Lando.

say what you will about the merits of the .83 forum and the aggressive moderation (abuse) against trolls what you will, but at least it's not the cascade forums!

I really enjoy the fact that the admins can be the biggest trolls.

Wow...the funny/sad/really REALLY sad thing is that the team he is talking about is my old/Martin's current team and Michael...the dude with the HUGE ego is about as humble as they come. Granted the man is 6'6" tall so he is rather large, but the ego is not. Shane is a strange strange man like thing.

i read the entries about him going on the meet the team ride and now i feel dirty and a little sad.
Absolutely tragic.
There's a winning entry for a high-school short story contest in there. Several. Or maybe another Disney-esque animated feature.
You know this guy is going to run into us on one of our regular rides in a couple of years, be super gonzo and in shape, and smoke our slow asses climbing up Queen Anne or something. Actually, I think that's the closing scene of the animated feature, with narration by George Clooney.

Man, I feel really fucking bad for that guy after reading some of that. I mean, he might be a little weird, but at least he means pretty fucking well, you know? And really, he could probably use a fun, hard drinking bunch of braggarts like us to let him know that there are plenty of riders out there who only care that you ride at all, and could give two shits what you look like or why you do it.

Dude does not sound like much fun to ride with though.
Works when he works. Works when he plays. Sounds sorta like a dull boy to me.
At least there is no confusing whether we are in it for "fitness" or "recreation".
Which is not to say that our rides are not beneficial to health, but that any benefits could easily be countered by libations.
So perhaps we strive for equilibrium, like a scale of perfect balance, gently pivoting around a hinge tenderly tied to the end of a horsecock.
