Someone baiting me? Perish the thought! Anyone can post obscenities. Even I
could easily do that even though I am a Saint.
Carl Brewer has displayed his wares now for all to see and I will respond
accordingly. When I encounter a dirty minded foul mouth lout my memory is
engaged and I do not forget these kind of slights. Carl does not troll, he
mouths sexual innuendo for no purpose other than to annoy. This is ever the
hallmark of a scoundrel and anyone who overlooks it is a fool.
As for FlyingDutch, I never have the slightest notion what he is talking
about. Is he even speaking English. If so, it is his very own special brand
of English, that is for sure.

It's not too bad Shabs.. I'm still doing the '3x everything' money
conversion which helps me think twice about buying useless stuff (junk
food) and the lollies and stuff over here aren't as appealing to me so
I eat less. Still about 95kg with heaps less riding than when I was in
Melbourne.

Wouldn't happen to be those riding down Lilyfield Road?
Parbs

Sometimes, but those don't seem to be so bad, at least if you think
that having less people around makes it less bad to run a red.
I'm thinking more about the lights through Pyrmont between Anzac Br and
Pyrmont Br. The ones nearest Pyrmont Br usually have loads of
pedestrians on their way to work and lots of cars that turn across the
intersection. If I had a dollar for the number of near misses I've seen
at that intersection...
I know we're not all angels and all, but when a car screeches to a halt
'cos a commuter blows through the red, it doesn't look good.
Hey Parbs, do ride to the city from the west as well?

What does Ed know and what does Ed not know? And what does Ed want the
newsgroup to think? Yea, that is the question.
FlyingDutch may have the rest of you fooled but I know for a fact that he is
an aborigine. He has a dark skin and a black heart, and a bald pate with
white whiskers sprouting from his chin like a burning bush. He makes all
those funny sounds and yelps in his posts because he is an aborigine and
that is his native language. The White Man of Australia has never understood
this language even though he pretends to. As a result the communication is
"nil " (to use Tinker Bell's favorite word), but I, Ed Dolan the Great, will
now set the rest of you straight. I am able to do this because I have been
on this newsgroup for several days and now know everything there is to know
about this group and, indeed, about Australia too for that matter. I am a
quick study.
FlyingDutch makes all those weird sounds because he is in great pain. He
does not really like cycling. In fact, he hates bicycles. He was born to
trod the dusty plains of the Outback of Central and Western Australia in his
bare black feet living off of bugs and other vermin, with a staff in one
hand and shaking his fist at the heavens with the other hand. He wants to
return to his ancestral ways. He is quite correct to feel the way he does as
man was designed for walking, not for cycling. Man has walked the face of
the earth for 99% of his existence and bicycles are a very late invention
not at all suited to a bipedal creature.
If the rest of you had the brains you were born with, you would let
FlyingDutch return to the desert and worship his primeval gods and go blind
from staring at the setting sun like he wants to. But I must warn
FlyingDutch and the White Man of Australia that there are billions of little
yellow men to the North of you in a place called China who are going to come
pouring down on you like a monsoon and take over your country. They will
kill all the aborigines (just too primitive you know) like they wanted to do
to the Tibetans. They will keep the White Man around as a curiosity and as
an example of how stupid a race can be. FlyingDutch won't care about any of
this because he will be laying in the soil near Ayre's Rock communing with
his dark skin black hearted ancestors.

you are learning a thing or two about Orstrayliens, Ed OOPS from
Minnesota.. we don't brandish our intellect is wearing you down like
proverbial chinese torture methods (despite our coyness about flashing

and decrease intellectual capacity as a proposed pathway to bliss and
enlightment.

Yes, SteveA has gotten it! I am into self parody and I am conscious of it
all the time. I think it is the finest form of humor but it is not for
everyone. You have to be have lots of self confidence to use it and you have
to be prepared to receive it as well. Parody does not work if you put
smileys after your statements. You have to pretend to be dead serious all
the time.
However, if you note well, I am saying something of substance too so I am
not so easy to dismiss as it first appears. There is always something to
everything I say that can lead to further discussion if you have the stomach
for it.
I am a master of parody and most especially self parody. The thing you have
to be able to do with parody is to distance yourself from your subject. If
you are unable to do this, then you can never do parody. Most folks are
unable to distance themselves from themselves, and so self parody is
impossible for them. I encounter these types of persons everyday of my life.
They are limited by both their intelligence and their imagination.

But surely there is a happy medium between the two extremes. It is important
to occasionally say something of substance as mindless chitchat can rot the
brain. So far I have not noted any intelligent beings here of any substance.
I am sure they are here, but I have not seen any so far. Just lots and lots
of mindless chitchat. Surely, newsgroups should have a higher purpose than
that. Or are newgroups like TV - just a vast wasteland?

It doesn't matter what strenuous physical activity I'm doing, it's 500
miles...and I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more... and I
change walk/run/ride etc as appropriate, and occasionally change the
following bits. Once it was "just to be the club that walks 1000 miles
to train with sex god George" who was one of our Boxing coaches, mostly
we did that when he made us hold a pushup for 5 minutes, because he
hated it.

You left out the word "high" just before "standard." Yes, I am here waiting
for an Aussie intellectual, or is that an oxymoron? In any event, you aren't
it.
What I can't figure out is why Tinker Bell does not take me on. She is
supposedly employed at the University of Queensland which I understand is an
institution of higher learning in fair Aussie-land. But maybe she is just
there as a lab technician, you know, the one who cleans up after the
experimental animals.

Here is Stuart Lamble displaying the worst characteristics of a human being.
In fact, he is acting exactly like the kind of Americans that ARBR was full
of and was finally brought down by a single criminal vandal troll. Kill
filers are kissing kin to cowards and will not defend the group against
criminal interlopers when the occasion arises. No newsgroup needs this kind
of cowardly bloke, that is for sure. Let us hope that he kill files himself
and disappears into the ether.

Matter-of-fact, on the weekend, we were listening to the True Colours
CD.
Here's some we blogged earlier:
http://cfsmtb.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_cfsmtb_archive.html
A biased selection based upon the same artist for both the climb & the
fun bit on the other side of the hill:
Roxy Music, 'Both Ends Burning', 'Price of Love' (cue the trumpet)
Sparks, 'Angst in My Pants', 'This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both
of Us'
Iggy Pop, 'The Passenger', 'Lust for Life'
Killing Joke, 'Dominator', '(Lets all go to the) Fire Dances'
Count Basie, 'One o' Clock Jump', 'Jumping At The Woodside'
Madness, 'Nightboat to Cairo', 'One Step Beyond'
TISM, 'Get Thee To A Nunnery' , 'Greg The Stop Sign'

Here's a really sad admission:
When I were young, I had a copy of the "top gun" soundtrack on a
cassette tape.
I'd bung it in my walkman, hit play at the end of the driveway, and try
like hell to get to school before "Danger Zone", by Kenny Loggins
finished.
Even now, 20+ years later, my pulse rate goes up when I listen to that
damned song.
Cheers,
Suzy

So maybe something like letting the one who takes the longest to answer

From Ashfield to Broadway, but not at the moment, had an almost very nasty crash with a truck on last Thursday - mostly my fault.
The result -one very bruised shoulder, cracked helmet and seat stay.
I've only just started using Lilyfield Rd, used to go Allen St, Moore St, Booth St & Bridge Road. Much more scenic & less stop
start on Lilyfield Rd.
Should be back out there next week, but will stick to singlespeeding and will not race trucks & cars on the road bike.

Its the feel of why I am starting to get hooked commuting at peak.
There's something about playing with the traffic, even legally.

I tried listening to the radio the other day...just wrong. I tend to pedal
in time to the music, so my cadence was all over the place. I think I need
an MP3 player and a playlist carefully selected for inspirational boppiness
and, more importantly, BPM. Start off easy and then ramp up to a nice
constant 100-110 or something. I'm still rather clueless when it comes to
that...should I be paying ANY attention to Lance's cadence in that Nike
promo vid or is he a freak? I seem to recall reading somewhere that he
pedals unusually fast.

Concrete Blonde, most of the "Bloodletting" album.
The Cure - "Boys don't Cry" and "Lovecats" (good tempo)
Joy Division - "Warsaw" and "Transmission"
Joe Satriani - "Satch Boogie"
I keep thinking of other stuff, but it tends more to the 90s.

The fact that any given person is posting to a.b is an indication that,
for them, the answer is a definite "NO!" ;)

First time I jumped that track just popped into my head. It makes a
horrible ear worm.
