I really shouldn't have gone to the game as I had so much work to do around the house, but it was nice to actually see the sun - it is yellow you know.

Goddamn Hippies!
1999-11-15 11:34:59
More and more people are leaving their cars at home, and are re-discovering the joys of biking. You would think that the back-to-nature hippies would be doing cartwheels over this. But no! Now they want the bike to be as natural as possible. They want them to be made out of wood!
So, answer me this: when you're tearing down the Continental Divide at about 70mph, which would you rather be on? A rickety, termite-ridden, wooden bike that may fall apart at any moment, sending you flying head first into oncoming traffic? Or do you want to be on a well-designed bike with a solid metal alloy frame that's strong enough to puncture a hole is Superman's chest?
The choice is yours.

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
