First of all, not to get on my weather sopabox, but I’m pretty sure the “-ity” in Humidity is actually short for “entity”, as in, a demon from another dimension sent here to ruin yet another summer for the umpteenth year in a row. I have christened it Swamptron the Remoistener and it demands a [...]

I’m so sick of readin’. Tarnation! Words, words, words, blah blah blah. Who gives a lick? Makes my dang eyes hurt! Paper cuts, ink splotches, weird odors, young people. Books are plain ole dumb. You ever try readin’ “Ulysses”? Just a bunch o’ gibberish, like somebody done sat on the bus and transcribed six different [...]

This morning, the automobile tire industry claimed another head for their mantle, but at least my hydroplaning days are over? But first, a brief note on Garrison Keillor, enemy of humanity…
Yuri Eliashevsky Sighting, And Some Bike Race Or Whatever…
Posted: 26th July 2010 by The Ghost of Jerry Reed in Daily Ramblings, Race RelationsComments Off
Lots of rider attrition at this weekend’s ORAMM. It was hot, plenty, mighty hot and that would wear down many an able rider. Fortunately for this rider, a nasty gravel road wreck would end the race before the heat could. Oh well it happens when you never ride a mountain bike, but I felt good [...]

Is there anybody who caught today’s TDF stage? You know, the one with the mountain thing and all the idiots running in costumes that were funny 4 years ago but now look kinda creepy? Just wondering because El Hefe DIDN’T get to see it live and is waiting for tonight’s broadcast so whatever you do–

K-Edge Chain Catchers ETA: ‘Bout a week

To quote our Georgia outside sales rep, Morgan Fluhrer: Campagnolo = Stage Win… SRAM Red = Dropped Chain. Oof, you gotta feel for poor Andy Schleck. What a time for a mechanical which in turn forced him to risk life and limb on a somewhat precarious descent as he made a futile attempt to catch [...]

If The Blog ever opens a used camping gear-outfitting store, it shall be called REI 51 and it shall outfit even the scraggliest of trustifarians and it shall be good and plentiful and the people shall cling to it like so many AT stickers on a Subaru and the drum circle shall rejoice.
