Kashima coating the stanchions on an XC fork is stupid, if they live most of their life with some form of platform damping crap switched on stiction won't be a biggie, gold looks pretty though.

It seems that there are a lot of noobs posting on teh :monkey: recently. Was it people's new years resolution to join a bike forum or something?



*EDIT* Not complaining about it... just an observation.

Jerkoff in the wallet store showed me a fat amount of funny paper, he didn't tell me after the camels, car wash, and two beers there was enough for three. If I had three I could of been 19 again if I had three more I would have been 19.

If doctors and scientists could somehow find a way to transplant the flush mechanism of industrial toilets into the human throat, there would never be another choking fatality ever again.
i'd like to say this is true. however, i've seen somebody clog an industrial crappadore. i dont even see how it's possible. afterall, those things could unspool a loose organ

I know a few caner survivors who said it was hard for them to eat because nothing tasted right and it all had a sort of similar texture.

Your question is kind of wide and esoteric though. I don't enjoy the taste of some foods that others enjoy immensely. Taste is a rather personal opinion.

I think I see what you're getting at though. On most points I don't really enjoy food. Taste or otherwise. I eat for calories and sustenance. I don't care what it tastes like. I'm not saying I don't enjoy food with flavor. I love flavorful and home-cooked food. For me though, eating is a necessity and I don't like spending frivolity on something I have to do to survive. If I wasn't a single hermit I think I'd actually enjoy cooking with and for a significant other. Such is not how things work for me though. My diet consists of butter rice, butter pasta, plain lentils and chickpeas, beans and occasionally eggs and toast for breakfast.

I replaced the garbage disposal for an artist neighbor. In return I'll get a couple of 40" x 30" bike related paintings! Can't wait to see what she sketches out from the MTB related photos we gave her.

Doesn't sound like much fun! Sorry TrNi! You should be "LifeNinja"!! :)
I look at it this way. Nothing tastes good so I can eat anything. There's no "I don't like that so I can't eat it."

Chocolate cake, steak, carrots, bugs, tree bark, worms. They all taste equally bad. The last 3 are very good for you. Free food, and it's nutritious too!:D

If you eat a lot of tree bark, do you sh|t out dowel rods?
