Thats gonna take a while to clean up.

While were on kind of a roll these days concerning rock that rocks, everybody's favorite sludge slingers Mudhoney, have recently released a very limited edition live slab recorded in Mexico City, which just yesterday appeared at my doorstep.

It even comes with a coupon so as to get an electronic version that they call an mp3, so I can stop attempting to jam the record into the side of my computer-box.

And as long as my brain is cornered by the magic of tracks on wax, lay your eyes on this extraordinarily limited 7" from 1997 that I have by Norway's favorite sons doing a cover of David Bowies Suffragette City.

Trust me when I say youll never see this record again. Send me a tape and Ill record it for you.
Wasnt it Steve Albini who said record collectors are pretentious a-holes?
He was right.

Now our newest part time contributor, Corey the Courier writes in to explain why his shins might just be so bloodied all of the time;

"Polo is now the coolest bicycle discipline. It isn't for the meek though. It will never go commercial because of the outright violently aggressive appearance of the games. We're all good friends afterward just like pro wrestling, but really want to win during the action.

Me and Chicago's Dumptruck at the Los Marcos Mayhem Tournament in NYC.

Ahhh.. shinpads. Now theres a novel idea Corey...
And by the looks of this shot, our boy isnt even thinking about approaching those brake levers with his gloved fingers. After all, hes got a dumptruck to slow him down.

Ebay. Its a relatively new concept to me, and every now and again I go there to find out whats happening in the world of rare vinyl, Caramba cranks, and Budweiser sweaters.
I just picked up a his and hers set, so it looks like the Mrs. is gonna have something special to wear for Christmas dinner this year.

Truth be told, I have four of these, just in case.

I was reminded today of a conversation I had with a young French woman last winter discussing the topic of what we would do if we were ever so fortunate as to win the lottery. It was recalled to me that Id told her Id get a Budweiser sweater dispenser in my house so that I could hop out of the shower, dry off with one, throw it away, pull another one out, throw it one, and go out on the town in my giant purple hat and 1979 Trans Am to paint the town red.

And to continue, why does everyone whos ever been interviewed on the subject of lottery winning say the same thing over and over?

"Im gonna buy a house", or "Im gonna take a trip to Hawaii."

Nobody ever says something cool like installing a Budweiser sweater machine in their bathrooms.

D*Pow sent the following shot on from last weeks 'hot Wisconsin cross action'.

Would it be inappropriate to mention that my first thought was of Jeffery Dahmer?
Yeah- I thought so.
Im gonna get sooo fired.

Anybody in Chicago? Anybody in Chicago wanna ride around in backwards circles this weekend?
Then youll want to get your rear tires flat spots to this.

Anyway, now on to a little bike-nerdery. I just picked one of these numbers up today.

Ive had my eye on this since its prototype was first introduced last year some time, and couldnt begin to hazard a guess as to if it works or not, but the idea was so instantly dazzling to me that I figured Id give it a try.
Plus in the above shot it looks a little bit like a Shetland Pony with a boner, so thats kinda cool.

On the tech side of things, its got a T-25 torx, chain breaker, tire lever, a 2, 4, 6 and and 8 mm allen set, and a built it whippit dispenser.
I coulda used one of those on my recent Sacramento trip, come to think of it...

Wednesday has come and gone and I have the following in depth report to lay on you concerning our journey to the cold and wet darkness.

Ok, I lied.

I worked on the new Swobo world shipping H.Q.
No Wednesday night ride this week. Just wrenching, beer and Ritz Bits.
Not a bike ride, but not a bad gig...

By the way, Captain Morgan got something huge yesterday. The photo gave me goosebumps, so if you think you can take it, let us know and well lay it on you.
