this is an all-purpose whiny, SHOUTING, Magic 8-ball thread!! →[More:]

1) our home intertubes are b0rked and have been since last Friday. Comcast is useless.

2) I selected the wrong bicycle on the way out the door this morning cos it was lovely out. It is now forecast to snow and looking grimmer by the moment. Fixed gears and ice don't mix. I need an intervention.

3) DEAR NEUROTIC BITCHES, THE GERMS ON YOUR DESK WILL KILL YOU LONG BEFORE THE ONES IN THE OFFICE BATHROOM. PLEASE TO BE LIFTING THE FRICKIN' SEAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT STUPID USELESS SQUAT-AND-HOVER BULLSHIT. (YOU CAN USE YOUR FOOT, EVEN! I SWEAR I WON'T TELL ON YOU!!) THE REST OF THE SANE WORLD IS TIRED OF SITTING IN YOUR PISS, KTHXBYE.

P.S. AND QUIT THROWING PAPER TOWELS ON THE FLOOR WHEN THERE'S A TRASH CAN 18" AWAY. THAT'S JUST LAZY. JESUS MERRY CHRIS KING I SWEAR IM GONNA START USING THE MEN'S ROOM

4) Oh look! A Magic 8-ball!

*shakes, ponders*

lfr, I have a theory about the neurotic bitches of which you speak. If my theory is correct, when they die they spend an eternity in hell sharing bathroom and laundry facilities with the neurotic assholes who take your laundry out of the dryer before it is done.

Good one elizard. My fantasy is that they will spend eternity CLEANING UP AFTER THEMSELVES/OTHERS LIKE THEM! Haven't developed a theory about the dryer people - yours is a good one!

*sprinkles magic STUPID COLD FECKOFF pixie dust all over BtGoG*

*shakes Magic 8-ball again, asks whether it will snow for the commute home*

[Outlook not so good]

Eek. I am grimacing in consternation on your behalf. Seriously, eek.

Is there a bus you can take?

Man, using my name in vain. DOUBLY!! (Though hearing a woman yelling out my name is kinda cool)

If anyone can handle the snow and ice on a fixte, it's lfr. We had 3 inches in Golden when I trudged home from work through it. Called my parents north in Lafayette, and they had none. I dunno how it is east of here. Roads, especially side streets, are crap now.

Hee. Yeah, I realized after I posted it that it looked like I was evoking you. Sorry... or you're welcome, depending on whether you were serious about the "kinda cool" thing. :-)

I will keep my fingers crossed for lfr's safe ride. Biking in the snow and ice has always seemed like one of the worst things in the world to me (after dating a Boston bike messenger and hearing horror stories), but I suppose anyone who bikes in Colorado is probably fairly used to it.

posted by occhiblu 07 January | 21:43

No problem occhiblu, I was just teasing.

lfr seriously has some mad bike skillz. The roads weren't that icy but more snowy since it was cold according to my trudge home. Dunno if lfr is still in Boulder, but that's north, and didn't seem like they had gotten the snow like we did down here. I'm sure she'll report in...

Oh, and as far as biking on the Front Range in CO, it's not as snowy/icy in the winter as the media will let you believe, but that's our secret, so don't tell anyone.

I'll take your secret to the grave. :-)
