Commuting takes its toll on both mind and body. While mental lassitude and trepidation can be bolstered with a fresh I-Pod playlist, a new jersey with eye-catching colors or a pint of whiskey and spoonful of heroin with the usual morning bagel and grapefruit, physical deterioration is far more difficult to remedy. Throughout the office [...]
Wellity, wellity, wellity! After several excellent guesses and a few not so excellent guesses, it is with a heavy heart that nobody (not even Kishima Yokamura from Shimano) was able to guess the mystery bolt was none other than good ole CRKP3102, the bolt you love to hate yet the bolt you can’t live without, [...]
Today’s contest is called “Name That Bolt!” (see post title). What is this bolt used for? Any guesses? If so, let me know so I can figure out what to do with this thing. Seriously, it’s just taking up precious warehouse space. And no, you may not name this bolt Leonard. This bolt is named [...]

“Hey Josh, how about some tips for the folks out there thinking about riding into work?” “Meh”
Feast your eyes upon this one-of-a-kind box-of-lunch. This pink and white Igloo (Sticker kit not included) is not available in stores, and can only be found under the arm of Captain Equal Rights, or Eddie from the warehouse. Now, let us fill you in a little on Eddie. Eddie has been with us for only [...]
Because of a permission slip snafu (and a little thing called “parole violation”, thank you Richland County Sheriff’s office), I was not allowed on the field trip to Zero Gravity in Athens, GA, but for Jose, Derrick, Kyle, Will, Jim, Ian and Bruce, the immovable wooden doors of the magical barn of wonder and bemusement [...]
Bike-To-Work Week! DAY 5 (Mr. Fish is neither a Mister OR a Fish, discuss!)
Posted: 16th May 2008 by admin in Daily RamblingsAnd so we come to the end of Bike-To-Work Week. But is this really the end, or is it a new beginning? Or perhaps, is it a never was?
