OT: Battlestar Galactica returns!

We are aliens, all of us. We landed here on Earth in the form of invisible life, elements unseen to the eye. There are 62,300,000 hits for the truth on google, life came from space:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&fkt=1000&fsdt=12547&q=life+came+from+space&aq=0&oq=life+came

A Cylon showed up, asked us where are we going and where have we been? We didn't have an answer and the lock on the screen door can't keep out the truth.

:cool:

The disc wheel clearly doesn't belong on that bike. Or is that the way aliens roll? :confused:

I believe that is the sole frame Sheldon Brown built from scratch (i.e. I'm not counting his many homebrew tandems).

He put the disc wheel in there because he occasionally indulged in whimsy.

The things I can't figure out are these:

1. What does that bike have to do with some TV show about space?
2. Why does Viper insist on attaching all those off-topic pictures, which hog waay more bandwidth than text?

It's my form of respect to Sheldon Brown's red bikemo. Also, red. Be careful of that color, see # 2 below:

And velvet dresses too atmo:

Because he is me. I am Viper. And the pics are on topic, if your crayon box has at least 64 colors. Sheldon was of this Earth, he's now of this Universe. Joyce Carol Oates had the devil with a broken foot/hoof knocking at the door, we had a cylon.

If I can help out with anything else for you, drop me a PM or call 1800-BSG-VIPR. It might go into voicemail, I'm tied up, trying to figure this out:

get back to your DVR'd doctor who

I am merely suggesting that you link to the source of those pictures (with the little 'landscape' button), or to a free hosting service like picpile, or whatever. This is all independent of what's in the pictures, but I daresay that you probably attach more pictures here than anyone else.

For what it's worth, that's not a disc wheel, it's a Uni-cover, a horrible little thing consisting of nylon and aluminum wire that attaches around your rim with little easily-breakable plastic clips.

They worked great, but they were fragile as heck and tended to mark you as a poor poseur in the local time trial or triathlon.

Oh, and to air your tire, you had to disconnect the wire rim from the clips, which usually led to a slightly bent wire rim or a broken clip or two.

Lorne Greene was clearly a superior Adama.

With Viper 100% in favor of the photos.

That last pic reminds me . . . In 1994 or 95 I went down to St. Petersburg for a Poynter Institute workshop. The hotel we were at also had a Star Wars convention going on the same week. There was one guy who was dressed up like Han Solo--I mean the whole nine yards and the blaster holster with the little string around his leg. He was wondering around the lobby or pool trying to look tough EVERY TIME I went through any of those areas. I mean EVERY TIME--and we went through the lobby four times or more per day. Head out the door in the morning--there he was. Back and out for lunch--there he was. End of the day--there he was. Fitness room--there he was walking by the windows. He always had that same "tough" look on his face and never spoke. It was pretty creepy the one time I had to ride the elevator with him.

Now since the new Battlestar wasn't even thought of then, I guess what I'm wondering is . . . VIPER, WAS THAT YOU? ;)

definitely looking forward to BSG!

the drift....just read in the paper today the passing of Ricardo Montalban, who (to me) will always be remembered as "Khan" rather than "Mr. Roark".

Also read that Patrick McGoohan passed away....of the groundbreaking TV series "The Prisoner".

Also read that Patrick McGoohan passed away....of the groundbreaking TV series "The Prisoner".What a great actor. I recently saw the excellent 1957 Cy Endfield film Hell Drivers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051713/), in which he gave a tremendous performance as the villain.

BBD, I was in FL in 1994-1995 but cannot confirm any other elements.

I can say, this is how I roll on four wheels:

veering slightly more off topic but....
at the last trucking co I worked at we had a drive who was a huge Batman fan. he was nabbed driving around with a batman mask on.
