you know what i really hate? when it's like the middle of the night - like 2:30 a.m., like now - and you hear some totally insane guy screaming at some other guy somewehre outside your window. stuff like 'listen motherfucker, if you don't shut the fuck up i'm gonna smash your face in!' and so you run to the window and look outside cause you wanna see what's goin' down, and your realize that the crazy dude is just beyond your line of vision through the window - like if the window just went over another 2 inches you'd be able to see him - but as it is, if he does decide to start wailing on this other dude, you won't be able to see it. that really fucking pisses me off cause if some crazy shit goes down, i wanna be able to stand at my bloody window and watch, ya know?

Phil, I have a gardening question for you. now that I have a yard and can plant things in the ground rather than just containers on a balcony, I have a whole new ball game in gardening dealing with all the critters. I have a family of bunnies who have decided they like eating my daisies. Aside from a fence, is there anything I can do to make them go away?

Chrisfan ~ an electric fence is your best defence against rabbits. Just one wire six inches from the ground plus another one six inches higher is usualy enough unless their dens are very close to your garden.

Your best defense against rabbits? An outdoor cat ... that whole "circle of life" thing ...  |

BTW ... GREAT TO SEE YA HERE PHIL!!!!! I think there was a mass clamoring for you to make an appearence over here at the "new boards." I know that I was hoping you'd show up. Now you should drop by the Peloton every so often to remind us racer types of the joys of touring on a big old steel beast.  NP:  CCR: Bayou Country, Graveyard Train (5 stars, IMHO this is one of those lost treasures, an album that never really got its due as an album -- check it out!) |

Hello Ken ! Nice to be able to post without the interferences of Spammers/Space cadets/Garden gnomes and other various forms of stupid trolls ...
First thing I've noticed on the picture of your bike is that it had NO PEDALS !!
WTF ! Are you supposed to push that thing until you can afford to buy pedals ... ??

Alas, Phil, I had to spend extra to get a (very nice, very light) set of (French) Look clipless pedals. I absolutely love 'em. I can't hardly imagine pedaling without having at least toeclips, and good clipless pedals and shoes are an absolute must for this type of bike.
Has it warmed up enough in Canada for you guys to venture outside yet? Hit 100 F. here yesterday ... new record high for the date. And of course I was out on my Bianchi last night ... I really need a name for her ... any suggestions for a fiery blonde Italian?

Mary, I'm totally with you on "asshole out the window." That happens a lot, and it really sucks.
Neighbor here is some complete toby (i.e., wigger), who's always shouting stuff on the phone to his girlfriend that always cheats on him. He's always like, "FUCK! FUCK! You FUCKING SLUT!! FUCK!! YOUR A SLUT! FUCK! FUCK!"
It's really aggravating. I always think he's about to get in a fight, then I look in the window, and the shirtless bastard is on his cell shouting at his girlfriend.
Really sucks when I'm walking outside and I see him there, and he's all, "Say dawg, wazzappenin' big man?" And I'm all, "yeah, what's up, dude."

Mary, I'm totally with you on "asshole out the window." That happens a lot, and it really sucks. The thing that amazes me about the assholes out the window is that they're ALWAYS just out of sight from EVERYONE's windows. How do they do that? |

It was over 100 F. in Montreal?  IN MAY!!!!!! ??  Ok, what the fuck is going on with the weather? Maybe that Day After Tomorrow movie isn't so unlikely after all. Giullietta wouldn't be a bad name at all for my bike ... isn't that an old Alfa Romeo model as well? As for the cat in the flower bed ... well, you've got to pay the piper, take the good with the bad, etc. etc. |
