Why I love, hate this forum

"If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn't thinking."
- General George Patton Jr
  • the best bike?
  • iPod, no iPod
  • carbon or steel
  • American made or Made in the USA?
  • tubulars or clinchers
    • Sandy or Kevan

the list can go on and on. i am not some PC human resource monkey who clebrates diversity...just someone who has ridden and raced bikes since I was 13 (now 35). But what makes the sport fun, is all of the choices that are available to us.

[begin hand holding speech]in the spirit of the holiday in a few days, let's all pause and give thanks that we can participate in such an awesome sport... [/end hand holding speech]

agreed.

And as Thanksgiving approaches, I think we all owe a big Thanks to Serotta for hosting this, the moderators for having to deal with us, and all the participants for making this place great.

I do not post much, but really enjoy reading the threads.

Thanks everyone!

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Alembical

Apropos of nothing.

A dog will look up on you; a cat will look down on you; however, a pig will see you eye to eye and know it has found an equal. - Sir Winston Churchill


I just like it.

SWorks-pal, I agree with you.

Just a small note however.

We are never the original thinkers. If we think we are, we have probably thought too highly of ourselves.

That original thinker award is already been taken up by somebody higher and wiser than all of us.

Test and approve.

And after you have done that, submit to one another in love.

So we noticed.

Maybe we can sic PETA or the ASPCA on them.

Happy and safe Thanksgiving to all whether home or traveling, with family or friends

Hopefully none of us will be alone at this special time of year.

God Bless all, everyone. Aside, I was at the gas station a few months ago talking to a random dude who was waiting for his car as well. The topic was sci-fi, dunno how it started, we went into string theory, metaphysics and of course we touched on Princess Leia and Star Wars (and Jodi Foster in Contact, I <3 Jodi Foster).

We spoke of the universe, where it began and where it ends when he said, "There is no ending, everything we know in our own universe touches something else; the ocean touches land, the land touches air, our air touches space."

Happy Thanksgiving, may your baskets of lotion overflow. And know this, every E-Richie lug touches a part of the frame.


PS. Please boycott Aflac.

face to face conversation??!!??.....dude... ....you should have set up a my space profile and told him to meet you there.....real conversation is so 20th century.

Plug in, tune out, multi-task....

We didn't make the top five list. But then nobody in their right mind thinks like us.

Everyday, I look for a slice of thanksgiving. Or apple pie, whichever comes first.
