  1. I'd binge pretty much anything listed in this thread. If there is junk in my house, I will eat it. Thankfully, I can usually resist the urge to buy it. If I'm hungry when I go grocery shopping, all bets are off, and I may end up with one or more of the listed items in my cart. Chips and salsa Central Market cranberry orange oatmeal cookies Central Market cranberry orange scones Dark chocolate covered almonds Jalapeño sausage links and corn tortillas to wrap them
  2. Yes, this is our primary motivation. So we rank recreational cycling somewhere between climbing Mount Everest and being a Formula 1 driver on the list of activities that warrant no sympathy when someone dies while doing these activities. We get it. You personally feel that the risks outweigh all of the actual reasons why countless cyclists choose to do it anyway. No need to keep repeating it.
  3. Motorists being on any road traveling any speed puts everyone in danger. Lets remove all motorists from the roads.
  4. The most populated country in the world says, "check that map again."
  5. So cyclists should be riding on golf courses and in your bedroom?
  6. I had a whole list of things typed in an effort to try to explain why cyclists do many of the things that drivers find annoying, but I know it's not going to make any difference to most of you. Unless you have ever been a lycra wearing century riding fart smelling bikefag, the explanations are never going to resonate. Think of something that you do regularly that isn't just an occasional hobby, but is at the core of your social interaction and a main component of who you are...something that would throw you into the depths of depression if you could no longer do it. That is what cycling is for many of us, and as someone who can no longer ride due to injury, the depression is real. You see a group of cyclists and have feelings of disdain and possibly even rage. I see them and feel sad because I can't join them. It's easy to judge people for doing things that you have never done. Sign up for a charity ride and experience cycling from the other side. See what it is that we love for yourself. If you need a bike, I'll happily give you a surly discount on one of mine. If you won't try it for yourself, then at least trust that your longhorn loving surly brethren must have valid reasons for doing something as idiotic as sharing the roads with the likes of you.
  7. That's an obvious forgery of "Cow Eating Grass."
  8. This sort of thing happens way too often. Queue the shaggy anti-cycling mafia in 3-2-1...
  9. Thank goodness I have all of you fine people to tell me how I am supposed to feel and what I should think. Now who is going to help me put on my pants? My mother is busy.
  10. I don't start many threads, but even if I did, this would still be my favorite. Not only is Tucker the best of all time, it's by such a wide margin, that there's no one else to even consider.
  11. The Baylor towel really ties it together.
  12. The Rangers could use Sidd Finch, or maybe Haywood Jablome.
  13. I was really hoping that Arteta was a main reason for City's success, or that he had at least learned a few things from Pep. I don't know that he learned anything yesterday, but there's no denying that he was a huge factor in City's performance.
  14. I hit a wall as well, though I don't remember which season. Season 1 connected with me more than the others. My first PC was one of these bad boys that I bought from the employee store while I was still a teenager working an entry level job at TI in the early '80s. "Portable" meant it had a handle, but otherwise, it was a beast.
  15. Epic stage today. Kuss gets in the breakaway and moves back into the top 10 overall. Roglič does just enough to hold onto red. I'm no fan of Movistar, but I've always liked Valverde. It was a bummer to see him crash out.
  16. Yep. That last turn saved him from getting caught, but either way, that was a great stage for Cort. With no Pogačar, the only thing that is going to stop a fit Roglič from completely dominating is bad luck.
  17. Not sure if username checks out...
  18. This is exactly what happened in today's stage. I'm sure it is a temporary loan, but Jumbo Visma won't have to defend the red jersey for at least a couple of stages. It wasn't a good day for Kuss, but American Joe Dombrowski finished second on the stage. Unfortunately, he was in a crash yesterday, so is still way behind, and was not a legitimate GC contender regardless.
  19. I thought we were going to see Sepp Kuss get a chance as the team leader, but no such luck. Roglič's bad Tour de France left him and the team hungry for a win. Looks like Kuss has been working on his time trial, but still needs to improve if he is going to match his teammate, who appears to be back in top form. Someone who isn't a threat to win the GC is going to have to go out on a successful breakaway in one of these early stages, or Roglič will be in red the whole way. Nice to see Lawson Craddock make an appearance.
  20. So does skipper's post.
  21. I visited over 10 years ago, but was very underwhelmed. For it being the state aquarium, I expected more.
  22. That mostly sounds reasonable. I will continue to defer to sources I trust for guidance on the appropriate actions that vaccinated people should be taking...if I can every figure out who they are. When in doubt, I will wear a mask. Unfortunately, I am in doubt far too often.
