The Complaining and Bitching Thread

Indeed, dear snowy. Indeed.

 

I will totally help you navigate this field full of the explosive-rigged corpses of your bad ideas if once we get out you immediately forget that I'm the kind of dumb motherfucker who will do something like that.

And for the record "I've been doing things like this for twenty years" is a justification that would never be used by someone who actually knew what the fuck they were doing.

 

Three things:

Get some bike shorts. Padding is all.

Ride more. Tolerance builds up.

Don't use Damnitall as your ruler, she is a cycling machine.

 

I used the 'more compostable' office trash bags as leaf/yard bags for several years before the city made compostable bags mandatory. The city requires that plastic leaf/yard bags carry a city seal of approval; paper bags don't require the seal. The better 'approved' plastic bags are no different from the plastic office bags that I was using, but they sure are more expensive. The lesser 'approved' plastic bags will fall apart if you look at them wrong; I have a large box of them.

 

Women's biking shorts feel like they have 1980s maxipads installed.

 

When was the last time you wore a pair?

Seriously, they're really not that bad, and no matter how bad they might be, they're still worth it!

 

Swimming 500 meters using only arms is a good workout, but now I can't lift my hands above my head happily. Naptime?

 

Hardcore bikers are known to wear them under their jeans. Not that I'd know anything about that.

No f'ing (visible) Spandex for me.

 

Well, they're not absolutely necessary if you're a seasoned rider with a calloused taint (just kidding) and a top quality saddle, like a broken-in Brooks. A shop friend of mine has taken to riding our 30+ mile Sunday evening shop rides in a Brooks and regular cotton shorts, but his saddle is in magnificent shape, i.e. properly broken in, for such pursuits.

I ride several miles' worth of commuting around town in regular clothes every day, but I did recently upgrade my saddle to something a bit kinder to my nethers, considering my previous saddle was in tatters from excessive use.

...

Back on topic, I'm searching through stock photos of baseball pitchers to design a flyer, which will be a fun project. But the pictures are making me want much more to be sitting at a baseball game instead, drinking beer and eating hot dogs.

AND PEANUTS.

 

Duh.

 

I don't think I could marry someone antibaseball.

 

Gross.
