I think he's finally lost it folks.

: I think he's finally lost it folks.
this is partly why i have no delusions of wanting to work in a bike shop.
the other is the pay. no money and you get to go insane. let it be said
i appreciate those of you who are willing to do the dirty work and risk
untold dangers (mental & otherwise). there really ought to be hazard pay.
meanwhile let's get gene back on his meds.

Dear Robert,
Did you mean to impy that he had ever found it?

Perhaps I should be worried now. I found that original post
wholly comprehensible, and richly endowed with good humour.
Normally, I have to struggle with g.daniels' postings.

no one has a few to add?
expletive deleted
the good one is the 1.25 vs 1.5 pitch(see leonard)
this conundrum leaves the shade tree mechanic in ME Anomie
wondering why me and where do we go from hear?
this is seriuous stuff and advance planning is necessary for not
ruining the next project

>frankly, avast the gravy. a free trip to PR for de ant
No thanks, I don't like turkey, nor do I think that small flightless
insects should go to Puerto Rico.
>no one has a few to add?
I'd like to add 3 and 6. Could I get 9 out of that?
>expletive deleted
interrogative inserted
>the good one is the 1.25 vs 1.5 pitch(see leonard)
I prefer less pitch and more fire.
>this conundrum leaves the shade tree mechanic in ME Anomie
I've never seen the guys on Shadetree Mechanic in a conundrum. I
don't even think that show is on anymore. Er...didn't it used to be
on TNN? Then TNN kept it's initials but changed Nashville to
National, then that flopped so they changed to Spike TV (and Spike
Lee sued them). That was a good show.
>wondering why me and where do we go from hear?
Wow, combining Jethro Tull, Shaggy, and the Alan Parsons Project
(which may have been some sort of UFO).
Wondering aloud/why me lord/where do we go from here...
How do we feel today/situation looking kinda bad/now that all other
children are growin' up...
>this is seriuous stuff and advance planning is necessary for not
>ruining the next project
Amen to that, brother!

fruit flies like
a banana
i thought
it
worth
repeating.
this is cool: three LBS visits, and no i was not stoned, brought five
more witticisms all forgotten due to stress
but i forgot this one in the first instrance:
the mail order people have a bad habit of
LEAVING SOMETHING OUT!!
and then the MOP have the bad manners to whine that YOU pocketed THEIR
piece and now want THEM to send YOU another for nuthin'
for example: having odored a cassette gear cluster and a hub to go
with the customer may find NO EXPLETIVE DELETED wrench for the new
cassette.
what gives here is the MOP want another chance at bleeding the
customer one on one for yet another odor.
DESPICABLE!!
this is from the early warning system!!!
