This was a phrase I uttered numerous times tonight, usually after a big fat guy vomited all over me. This would, of course, get him shot. I spent some quality time as Orangelo™ ( as Louis, the black guy ) with Squillis™ ( as Zoey, the chick ) and PCounts™ ( as Bill, the old… Continue reading We’re Humped.

I’ve got to admit it’s getting better
Well, things are a bit up and maybe down today, despite my mild hangover. For the definite up, my pay cut will be $5k, not $10k. Definitely makes me feel a bit better.

In other words, I’m a racist.

150 Miles, 1 Gear.
October 4th and 5th was the Louisiana MS 150 – a thousand-rider-strong bike ride for Multiple Sclerosis. Every cyclist raised at least $250, and many raised much more than that. Prologue (up to Friday): We (Bea and I) didn’t actually do a whole lot of training. Unless injured, I ride every day – and yes,… Continue reading 150 Miles, 1 Gear.
