Its time I start refering to myself in the third person.

In a little over a year of plodding along with this here communication device, Ive just achieved notoriety with my first ever full-fledged groupie. Well just call her 'Bug', and rumor has it she loves me.

'Stevils thirsty, so Stevils gonna celebrate with a beer now.'
Yeah, I like the sound of that.
George sent some more mile-high flimm-flahzim our way;
"dudes,
Does it get any better than watching your bro
(Craig Etheridge who happens to be NACC 2nd place
american, 1st fixed and 4th overall. polka dot rocker
king of the mountains (seattle) and one hell of a
decent dude), freak out on the trail and throw the
bike into a massive rock field during a "mellow" ride?

it time for "Aspen Extreme," top gun on the slopes,
things turned white up high the other morning and a
cool feeling is in the air here. "you know how to make
a tequila slammer?", dexter rutecki. "uh..yeah, I went
to high school"
At the Cody, Wyoming skate park last spring my bro
willy and I are playing skate, a young kid comes up
and asks, "why can't you land it repeatedly?" to which
Willy replies, "are you riding a purple bike?" and I
add, "dude is that a girl's bike?" the kid immed
leaves and then wrecks right over the edge into the
deep end. the ending couldn't have been much happier!
who knows this quote, maybe you'll get something
awesome for the answer? shouldn't be too hard.

"And the whole things fucking roaring right?! Pushing
you forward like you're a hood ornament on a freight
train train or something. And your balls man, your
balls are about this big!"
haul,
george"

Now we cant take credit for the re-establishment of the moustache as a statement of high fashion, but I will go on record to say that we were plugging the aesthetic of the cock broom long before the fledgling New York City hipsters got ahold of the notion, let alone were able to grow one themselves.
Its with great pride that I announce yet another celebration of the hip lip.
"Il Giro de Moustache"...

Stephenwolf writes;
"is 'the moustache ride' translated from english to italian.
when you translate 'the moustache ride' from italian to english it means 'the moustache it laughs'.
i need to start passing off more english as italian.
anyways, just lettin everyone know were putting the finishing touches on the 'moustache ride' details and will be disclosing them directly.
god help us if someone puts an eye out.
heres a little somethin' for the discerning mechanic:
luv, stephenwolf"

Im gonna take a second and slide way off point here-
Do any of you all remember this cover on the album 'Diary' by Sunny Day Real Estate?

As much as I appreciated that band, I really was always taken with the visuals included in their records.
Earlier this year, it was disclosed to me that this painting (which I believe was done by a man named Christopher Thompson) is actually owned by a fella name of Jimmy Mac who lives down in the Southern part of the left coast somewhere.
If you ask me, which I trust you wouldnt, J.M.s got some pretty spanky taste in art.
Its nether here nor there, But Im very glad theres some bands still floating around who understand the importance of the visual capabilities of an album as well as the obvious auditory offerings.

Like Big Black once said about their very limited acid etched metal box containing the first pressing of 'Headache'- "you might think the music sucks, but at least you get a cool package out of the deal.."
Ok, enough of this.. On to even more moustache stuff from Patrick;
"Howdy.
A couple of us at the Car Resistance Action Party, or CRAP, are bummer life readers. Our website is AZCRAp(dot)org. I'm not sure if any of us own yer clothing or not, but we like our wool socks, single speeds, and like stuffage. More importantly, we like riding. We've had a weekly bike ride out of tempe, arizona for little under a year now, and its growing.
We're having our first bar hop in a week. I'm not sure if you can come. But we'd love any spreading of info. A link to the image for our flyer is here :

Anyways, thanks for reading this shpiel. Keep up the good work!
Patrick Leahy"
Now from the CRAP to the creep.
Feast your eyes on what has to be the best, worst thing on the interweb.
Marry Our Daughter(dot)org.
If thats the best way out of the trailer park, then Id have to choose to stay in.
But you know, Im just that kind of stand up guy who probably wouldnt consider selling my fifteen year old daughter.
A few years ago, JMac and I drank beer from some bottles and watched this whole film at a bar. Pure mastery.
Finally, the San Francisco Bicycle Messenger Association is throwing an alley cat race to benefit themselves as well as The Erotic Providers Service Union.

More information about the goods can be found here.
My eyes are burning and my livers churning. We hope yall had a good weekend and such.

what's linden's email, I'll own up and send him something awesome.

If Linden is correct.....
Here's a little bit of Small world knowledge.
El Corpo narrowly adverted a fight with that guy who played that role in Point Break. He used to live in Pacifica...he'll go nameless here....but funny story all the same. Story had something to do with a girl of course. El Corpo is not a fighter...and all went fine. Jim Tjogas was the ruler that smoothed everything over shortly thereafter. Long live Jim Jo....

that quote is from that long-haired stoner surfer dude from the seminal early 90's action/adventure film "Point Break"... long live Gary Busey!

Last time i answered a pop-quiz, I got a bit cocky. This time I won't mention Ted' Theodore' Logan or James Dalton or even Tank Girl. I'll just ask 'Where's My Elephant?'
