But as it turns out, its gonna end up being for you. Yep, as hard as Ive tried to get something spanky and jewel encrusted for the Swobo HQ to celebrate How to Avoid The Bummer Lifes two year birthday, El Corpo had other ideas, and as a result weve devised something that were gonna drop next week for you all, so Id say probably keep em tuned MondayTuesdayWednesdayish to see just what the hell Im talking about, because at this stage in the game, Im not even sure I know what Im talking about.
Yeah- quite a departure from the norm.. I know.

Does anybody in the Bay Area need something to do with their free time this weekend?

The kids are at it again with the annual Oakland Scrape alleycat race series. Pick up some Juicy Fruit and get to it.
Also, Johnny clued us in on something that aside from kicking GWB square in the junk, any folks residing around the interior of Texas might be interested in getting in on as well. The Real Ale Ride.
Then, when youre through with those two things, bounce back to the Central Coast of California and round your day off with The Summer Scrounge. (Ed- ah hell.. It was Friday night. What is 'time' but a word?)

Thats gonna be a busy Saturday.
Are you ready for something that El Corpo sent on that doesnt have anything to do with anything? Of course you are, otherwise you probably wouldnt be here.

All I have to say about it is I suspect the cats responsible for making that film were sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo high.
Ahem.. Soo high..

From the league of elbow typists, of which I am proudly and undeniably a member, Slappy from The Stomparillaz took a tip from my bike show and tell last week and sent in some shots of his own hardware, as well as a sequence shot of his two identical brothers getting rad with him.

Hi there STevil, so i've quite enjoyed the idea, ever since way back, of communicating to you in the medium of bike bios, given that you seem to find my missives hard to reAD, perhaps 1000+ word photographs would help.. aanyway here's my mtb. it rips. .

med niner sir 9 beer can thickness steel?!?
3 x 4 xtr d-train
pink king ss disc hubset on dt'z with 4 cogs and a pink sswc 07 bracelet
purple + carbon frk , looking good lewis, feeling good billy ray!

Already cracked the frame once, they warrantied it. that was nice. it's the raddest rig i've ever had the pleasure to ride. . peas slappy

I think it goes without saying that the brother in the back is not only far more skilled on a bike, but much better looking as well.

Erin the sales maven has sent a photo on to me thats she described as a future Swobo campaign for our dealers to help attempt to deter shoplifting.

That works for me. As a matter of fact after seeing that, I actually returned a bunch of stuff I stole today just for good measure, thank you very much.

Our boy Michael is looking for a new job, due to what in the corporate world is commonly referred to as 'thinking outside of the box';

"For the Annual Company Picnic, management had decided that because of liability issues, we could have alcohol, but only one drink per person...
I was fired for ordering the cups."

There was a company that I used to work for in the Bay Area, that will remain unnamed, who because of me, forever implemented the enforcement of three drink tickets per person at holiday parties.
Had Michael and I been working together then, we might very well own that company today.

And speaking of drinks, the dirts at The Soil Saloon are getting ready to fill some cups full of frosty, dusty goodness again.

Maybe if you think youve got the chops, you might even get to go toe to toe with this fellow;

However its still unconfirmed whether or not he was just a homeless guy who got in on the mix.
Ifin you get an itch, more of Nicks pics can be seen right here.

Hey.. have any of you all seen "No Country for Old Men"?
I watched it last night.
Damn...
But can anybody please explain the ending to me?

Anyhow, what else have we got?
Oh yeah.. Our friends from The DFL have got a ride cooking this weekend as well.

As always, it might be a bike ride, plain and simple, but with these folks theres always a good chance that it could degenerate into a casserole party thats followed by group sex. Attend at your own risk.
And speaking of which, perhaps youd like to take a peek at what really transpired this past weekend at the Moustache Bash?

However in my opinion, this shot from Daniel really is the only one youd need to see.

Im gonna keep blowing the upcoming Imaginary Bags show up,until I board that big, beautiful aeroplane. Believe that.

A question for the ages?
What would Jesus drive?

Thats all Ive got. Even though I only had a four day work week, I still feel as though Ive earned the weekend just the same.
Who knows what Ill get into?
There obviously is too much trouble brewing for any single individual to match, but rest assured, I will do my damnedest to get into as much of it as I can, and as usual, might I recommend you all do the same?
