ghoulie CRUSHERS VOLUME 3 !!!!! (Page 15)

I went on a running gear shopping spree yesterday.  I picked up some long sleeve tech shirts and some 3/4 tights.  We have a lot of that in-between weather here in Indiana.  It's too cool for just shorts but not quite cold enough to get all tricked out in tights and other assorted cold gear.  And of course I saw a thousand other things that I wanted.  I caved and bought a new pair of shorts because they were just too cool to pass up.  It took all my willpower to leave an awesome Nike shirt on the hanger.  It said, "I'm not a tomboy, I'm just better than you."  If it had been any color other than white it would have been mine.  I would not have been able to resist.

LUUUUUCY you got some 'splainin' to do ...

It takes 1-3 min to pull up EACH page, so I just click on whichever thread is the freshest in the Challenge forum. Y'all will just have to stay on top, hmmm?

I am using this down time not, though Judi will be disappointed, to write a novel, but putting together my incredibly bizarre bike trainer.

What do you MEAN, not all the parts follow righty-tighty lefty-loosy????

LMAO trying to envision anyone running like this!

Just following the picture hasn't worked yet? 

Good afternoon, crushers!

I updated my numbers on the spreadsheet today.  I sure hope we just have lots of folks that need to update their numbers.  We may be winning the posting war but we are down by a bit in the challenge.  We can't let those Ghoulies win!

There's over 200 parts to this damned thing. Only 50 pieces, I was wrong about the 30 (don't pay attention to the picture OR the list of parts), but many of them have 4-6 each. I'm so confuzzled. However, I do have the frame, the magnet alloy rotor, and one leg with adjustor put together. The last time I scratched my head, though, an ant fell out.

Hahaha...  it does sound like progress though!

Do you suppose if I whistle a tune like a Disney princess that some woodland creatures will come along to help me with the housework?  I really don't want to mop the floors or clean the bathroom.

Does this thing double as a time machine or something?  I can think of no other reason to have so many parts.

As long as you're not losing brain matter. 

If it does, let me know.  I'd love to try that myself!

Bill, I figured even YOU weren't that crazy...    But it still cracked me up!

Brain matter toppage 

Actually, no, I think your average magnetic trainer probably does have 200+ parts, counting screws/washers/nuts/bolts/bushings/etc. The problem here is that every single piece of this trainer was exactly that. I have no idea which parts of which little bits go with each other, much less where they go on the big bits to hold them together in what order and direction.

So what you're saying is I'm really lucky that alll I had to do was take mine out of the box and put my bike on it? 

I wish the last of this storm system would move through.  I'd really like to go for a run without getting transported to Oz.

That would be a good thing.  : )  Those singing munchkins always kinda freaked me out.

I always hated those damn flying monkeys!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!

Heh. Actually I could just take it back to the crackhouse, bat my eyes at the piglets and I'm sure they'd put it together for me at a MAXIMUM charge of $5. Probably less. Like, just for a tip. And they probably know what they're doing.

But I'm getting a secret, sick kind of pleasure out of this.

As for losing brain matter--I destroyed most of mine in the '90s, so no worries there.

It would also prevent penile frost bite and deter stray dogs

Weren't you working on that trainer last week? Get to work!

Sounds like a fun outfit for a winter version of the Underwear Affair run.

There's a screw missing. Of course.

Anyone gotta screw?

I am going to ponder this while munching on tahini and crackers.

Ew. Is tahini always this sour?

The Ghoulies have made posting progress!
