Ha! What the fuck?

For reference, I rode past the famous (infamous) Oak Alley plantation today. It was pretty cool to ride past a couple of really pretty plantations, but it also sucks that some of the best sights on the ride are landmarks of slavery.

Nice! Had a great 57-mile ride with some new people. Absolute monsters. Got dropped and started feeling like a pussy, but then I realized I'd been riding on about 20psi (front tire) and had a piece of wire sticking out of my tire. Fun day!

More than one company has done a 'bare' carbon race frame at this point.

Just quote everything he says and manually add the words. Way cheaper + ad lib is super duper family fun.

I'll let you know whether or not they suck.

Merry Christmas to me.

Yeah, the rep ranking is pretty bogus. Scum Mike ranked above me. Yeah fucking right.

Received! Thanks Michael! I don't really read The Oatmeal, but this stuff is great! I'm really stoked about the socks! Edit: Oh shit! I started reading about "The Blerch." Fucking amazing. What a bad ass, on point gift. Note: the sunglasses aren't mine, but they were too snazzy not to include in the picture! Now take note motherfuckers, that's how you do a received gift post. If you feel like you need to say something negative, we already have threads for bitching about stuff. If you get in this thread and start bitching about your present, everyone in this thread is encouraged to make fun of you.

Fly Mike:

Actually, nope. I've got most of what I need there. I want a Garmin 810, or Rapha bibs, or Black Sheep Cycling bibs, or Volvo bike stuff, or a better Time Trial bike, or all of that stuff. Or whatever.

I've got to be honest, I don't think the world really cares about him.

You gotta do you, boo.

Timo:

I want you to know that it took an absurd amount of self control not to randomly select myself as your SS recipient.

My tried and true method is to search the user's post history and find defining characteristics/interests. Unless you got some shithead - just send them a turd.

Read this and thought, "I can help!" Went and double checked who your SS is...you're on your own!

Local Volvo dealer is also a Dodge dealer, I'm sure there's been some cross contamination. I mean, look at my truck.

Alden:

True that - saw all kinds of stuff working in a shelter. There were always 'problem' dogs - dogs that were the sweetest thing imaginable when you got them on a walk, but would lose their shit around something inexplicable, i.e. a small dog, big dog, cage, car, men, women, etc. Just had to be patient and try to work around whatever issue they had, hoping it didn't come up and result in someone/something getting bit.

We all know how lost you'd be without fucking assholes.

Aaaaaaaaaand shipped!

This is working out wonderfully.

Just a small development - Apeacock is out. I haven't been able to get in touch with him at all. He's not actually a supporting member and he hasn't responded to multiple messages, so Secret Santa moves on!
