The Hawley Blog

Kermit the Frog shivs John Denver during a taping of “The Dick Cavett Show” in 1977. And much like Kermit’s remorseless assault on the beloved folk crooner, Racheal Kefalos of the PCC has once again viciously assaulted The Blog’s inbox with some extremely salient cycling news. To put it bluntly (Cypress Hill 10″ EP), South [...]

Hold on a sec, when did Bob Noorda pass away? Well, he knew how to make a Pirelli Bicycle ad:Cadel Evans has extremely tiny feet:Jeff Beck has vaulted to an early lead for worst album cover of the year for 2010. Holy moley!

Wellity, wellity, The Blog hopped on Jacques Lobster for the first group ride since the great knee-hole incident of 2010. Although the legs felt horrible and rubbery and the lungs were full of fluid after 20 minutes, it was nice to get out on a good-natured jaunt around Fort Jackson. More importantly, it was nice [...]

While listening to I-Tunes this morning sipping my daily decaf anise-flavored frappachino, The Blog came to the conclusion that only a band like Thin Lizzy could be so audacious, so brazen, so impish, so Irish and write a song called “The Rocker” which doesn’t even come CLOSE to rocking.

2nd try…..

Brian Dennehy: completely powerless when it comes to anything not related to “Cocoon”: Well, we got our first shipment of Soma’s Ensho *GLITTER* saddles (SD7020) today. Jeepers, they’re loud.

I had heard that he found a stash of diamonds (chill pills) in Brantley’s mountain cabin, which is actually a port-o-john and an abandoned GMC blazer, without [...]

2010′s motto was supposed to be “No Survivors” but after The Blog ripped a hole in his knee on the 2nd of january, the motto turned to “I Might Not Survive”. Then it turned to “I Need To Listen To More SURVIVOR” and then several other mottos. Well guess what, my gentle unwashed rabble, The [...]

Mark LaLonde racing a bicycle, quickly.Today’s entry will have to be quick as The Blog dropped his ant farm in the sales office and it’s pretty much Dresden Fire carnage all over again, only with ants instead of fire, and mild discomfort instead of carnage. Anyhoo, Planet Bike cross racer extraordinaire and sales guy Marko [...]

As in, could you pass me that Aloha? Holy fudge, I dropped Alohas all over the shop floor. Has anybody seen Randy? Yeah, he’s takin’ a huge Aloha in the bathroom…. Andy and Bruce’s Storcks bid Hawley “Aloooooha”…. The Outside Sales reps came, saw and conquered this week at stately Hawley Manor. Well, all the [...]
