Race or drink beer?

After Wednesday's highly controversial sock post, I was overwhelmed. Had I known I only needed to talk about socks for two days straight to get a massive peep out of the masses, I woulda started Sock Thursdays years ago.

There's some stuff going on here behind the scenes. Things that will be shared with the class at a later point. Stuff that is way bigger than a pair of socks. How bigger? Like two breadboxes bigger.

I'm sure that you've noticed that my new Oh-So-Smart Phone has really raised the bar around here, in a social media sense and as far as upping the quality of the images. I do miss some things about my old Not-So-Smart Phone...



Last night I fixed that problem... to the power of ten.

Nay, make that to the power of fucking twenty-two.



I feel complete once more. Friends, call me often if you would please, especially when I'm out in public with my family. They would like that.

Why should I even bother blogging today? My former editor, Karen "Killer B" Brooks (now editor of the esteemed Bicycle Times) wrote a very nice Dicky'esque type blog post, complete with Sponsor Liaison and Equipment Acquisitions Director Admiral Ackbar, David Lee Roth, and Montucky Miller references.

She ends up doing a better job explaining something I tried to explain before but failed. I'm assuming I failed because I did not get 43 comments telling me how awesome my explanation was.

This weekend, the Short Track racing begins here in Charlotte, NC. I wasn't planning on racing, but then I got called out by one of the (former?) pasty white bearded hill people.

Then I thought about it some more, and then even some more after that. I've been racing off and on in this series for close to ten years. The only thing keeping me from racing this weekend is deciding whether or not I'll spend $28 registering for the race or buying two sixers of Happy Ending and a small Domino's pizza.

I should have put a couple PAYPAL donate buttons on my sidebar, one for the short track entry fee and one for beer and pizza. Whichever one would hit $30 first would win for the weekend.

My hindsight is bionic.
