Worms, Worlds, and Warlocks. Oh, and some bike stuff.
So that worm thing is the stuff that nightmares are made of, no?
We cant get it out of our heads.
Creepy.
The very un-wormy Megan over at onechick(dot)com is going to be providing us with photos now for a piece. Shes an ace photographer, and we genuinely appreciate her skillz and such.
Its nether here nor there, but El Corpo sent on an updated photo of the office.
Seems they had to move all of the desks out (we all sit behind the dumpster next door now) so as to make room for a slew of two wheeled goodness thats arrived. We even had to move Skys collection of Beanie Babies, and the coveted lava lamp.
Now then, weve been spying on what some of you pukes have been ranting and raving about on the forums and what not. Some love the bikes, and some hate em.
To those who love em, we say things like, 'we do too', 'no doubt', and 'Spookyboo, where are you?'
And to those who hate em, we say, 'everybodys entitled to their own opinion. No matter how ridiculous it is.'
(Insert a little Nelson Muntz laugh here)
Ok, now weve got Important one speed worlds info straight from Dr. Jon

The entries for the singlespeed world championships 2007 will be open on Sunday first April 1st from 00:01 (british summer time - BST).
Places will be limited only if interest is extremely high. Don't fret, most if not all, will get in.
Entry will be through a paypal account.
The full instructions will appear on www.sswc2007.com from March 31st (evening) BST. Follow them and all should be well.
The cost will be £25 (uk pounds). We had to raise the entry cost slightly, but the race will be non-profit and if there is any extra we promise to buy a round at the bar. Hope this is ok.

Hey El Corpo, wheres Swobo on this esteemed list?
When I was in Jr High, I knew a girl named Ellen from Boise. She wore funny pants, and had tremendously thick glasses. For the longest time, she was all I knew of this fare city.
Then a old messenger buddy that goes by the name of Schooly moved there, and keeps us up to date on all the cool bike nerd related happenings.
Check this for the latest.
And finally, Pirate Pete sent along this tidbit about folks on bicycles hurtling themselves along at 81 miles and hour. The fact that these contraptions vaguely resemble coffins were sure is no accident.
Oh, and then theres this...

my older brother mastered the art of knocking the wind out of me with a perfectly placed fonzi-esque blow right in between my shoulder blades, causing me to make my own "ow - ow - ow - ow " sound. only it was punctuated with a crying only an infant could sympathize with. newslady, we are soul mates

Be sure to check out the follow up to "Grape Newslady falls on face" --- the clip is called "Grape Lady's Son" and it makes my tumble at Demo Forest look like child's play - the kid broke a limb no doubt.
