TAN 24: TANgerine Speedo.. (Page 21)

I am a bike tool.

I looked so terribly dejected and on the verge of tears the last time I went to the LBS, the guy did an awesome pro bike fit for free.

I need to bring him something--I dunno, what do guys like as a gift? He's mid-forties, married, with kids. And he manages a bike shop.

So many comments.... 

ahhhh....I havent had to do that yet......I drive mostly and the farthest away has only been about 4 hours.  When I do FL I think I am going to use that place called Biketransport?  All I have to do is take off the pedals

I recommend the Dalmore 12 year.  Not too pricey, good quality.

Barring that, case of beer, his choice.  Although, that could get fairly pricey.....

If he's not a drinker, make him one of your delicious dishes. 

Twice I've done that with someone I didn't know.  Both times it turned out I was giving booze to a recovered alcoholic. 

How about making him chuckle with using that line that goes something like, oh, ya know,
wanna.....? 

Howd'ja find that out? I don't drink, but am delighted with boozy gifts nevertheless ... usually break it out among drinking friends.

you can ALWAYS send it my way...

jus sayin'

Pffffft ... you underestimate me, sir. I already gave him a big soft lush one right on the lips and said if there's ANYTHING I can do ...

He laughed and patted me on the head. This is why he is a terrific person.

They told me.  No offense was taken, they just politely declined and I was politely embarrassed.  That's why I stick with pizza - even if it appears the person is a recovered fattie. 

True story here.  Back in the mid-'80's, I partnered up with this cute American Indian girl (not sure what descent, though) in a couple's dance contest.  We got 2nd place.  The prize was a bottle of some decent whiskey.  Turns out she was a recovering alcoholic.

I'm not making this up, folks.

Still not the same offer - just sayin'!

Was it a "Benny Hill" pat on the head?

mine come every hour........I'll yawn with ya right now......YAWNNNNNNNN

hey peeps...

I totally dislike when people have an issue with me and just won't come talk to me about it...  i'm part of a group where I got pigeonholed into something, and it is more difficult than folks understand... and now some are starting to b!tch...

why not just talk with me?  b/c of their totally dysfunctional system... ugh... thankfully this is my last year so I can focus more on tris next summer... ugh...

 worst of all... this is a church camp... #@#$%$##!!!!

-B 

Eh. Church is still composed of humans, last time I checked. Too bad you HAVE to get saddled with weirdos, in your position.

Send him a basket of cookies with a thank you note.  These are awesome.
