This gives me a great idea for a similar thing. It would be called

www.odd-rec-bicycles-racing-posters.com

and it would have links to weird posts from all of you. I would then post
a message here, telling you about it, your egos would then *force* you to
go look to see if you made the list (hey, we all want immortality in some
form or other), and then (here is the devilishly clever part) because the
website would continually update as more weird posts were made, you
would keep checking back after making one weird post after another to see
if you were on the list yet, so that after a week or so
www.odd-rec-bicycles-racing-posters.com would be more popular than google
or www.hugetits-smallcocks.com.

It would sort of be like Facebook for people who couldn't really cut it on
Facebook except I would be raking in the money using a business model that
at this point might have a hole or two in it. Maybe I could sell the idea
that I can come up with ideas like this on eBay.

Dumbass,

Ok, but I still think the Bamboo Bike Project jersey is kinda cool looking.
If only it was co-sponsored by LIVEDRINK(tm).

Men's size "M" is a 42 ?!!!

I support the idea of US Fatties helping create
sustainable industries in less-developed countries,
it's just the size inflation that gets me.

You're wrong about the jersey looking cool.

But the Bamboo Bike Project is such a drunkard's solution to the world's
problems (only makes sense until the hangover) that LIVEDRUNK would like
to investigate what sponsorship level is necessary for us to get a place
on the jersey.

If you read the details, that is for the regular. The Euro, or Pro, or
whatever they are called, versions are a good deal slimmer.

I can never get American clothes to fit me. M Nike track
suit pants keep falling down while the small leaves 3/4 of
my calf exposed (and doesn't even stay up properly either).
Adidas on the other hand fits just fine.

Ok, so the details aren't on there anymore, but the jersey comes in a club
cut or a pro cut. If you e-mail Dave Ho he can describe the difference, or
point to the site with that information.

Coming from a guy who walks around in public with a bustle, I'm going to
apply a weighting factor to that statement.

That's not a bustle, I'm just in training to be a master's fattie.

I thought "training" and "master fattie" were not to be used in the same
sentence, or maybe even the same paragraph.

Training is very important for Fatties. If you don't
train, bad things can happen. Ask Henry:

Apparently LIVEDRUNK participation requires hours of dedicated
draining.

Hm. That second link reminded me of something odd.

As far as I can tell, I have never ridden an imperial century. I'd have
to think harder, but the longest ride I ever did may still be a 140ish
km training ride somewhere in my first serious year of racing.

Short attention span, I guess, or maybe I'm not old enough for that
rando crap,

Don't even start. According to someone in one of those threads, the real
test is a double century anyway. So if you do an imperial century, you
might feel the need to do a double. Then, you might get into brevets, and
then end up doing RAAM.
