Stupid stuff.

Is that a Hulk in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

July 29, 2003

When I was six or seven years old I played a game of Whack-a-Frog at the Old Orchard Beach fairway. The game consists of placing a rubber frog onto a lever and then whacking the lever with a rubber mallet. Get enough frogs into the rotating floating lilly pads in the middle of a small […]

Queso por queso…

July 27, 2003

I used to hang out quite a bit with the freaks from the Nashua, NH BBS scene back in the day. Yes, the BBS scene. 2400 bps (that’s 2.4 Kbps as opposed to today’s 56 Kbps for you new school kiddies) modems screaming along connecting to one line standalone Waffle, Renegade, Telegard and Wildcat systems […]

Sheep…

July 25, 2003

I refuse to link to any photos of Saddam’s dead sons for the sole reason that everyone else in the world will be.

Toilegami

July 21, 2003

I had always suspected that there was a complete science behind the proper usage of toilet paper. Everyone has their own individual ritual when it comes to exploring their nether regions. So, not only do most people have their own highly customized system, but they also evangelize when given the chance.

Power Genitalia

July 20, 2003

Power Genitalia…sounds like some strange new form of penis enlarger or sex toy. Nope…it’s actually an Italian firm that produces power generation products. You’d think that someone would check up on these things…

Give this kid a glowstick!

July 19, 2003

I can’t imagine what the orange kid would be like at a rave with a few glowsticks! Yeah, with enough soap, we could blow up just about anything…

Inspection stations can bite me.

July 18, 2003

When the guy at the inspection station informs you that he can’t inspect your car because the airbags have been removed, be sure to go back armed with the appropriate printouts from your state’s Web sites and inform him that that’s not a valid reason to fail a vehicle.

Do you know what today is?

July 17, 2003

It’s July 17th! Now, what is so darn special about July 17th! Steve pointed out that the default iCal icon is actually correct today! Today is also a birthday for John Jacob Astor, James Cagney and Donald Sutherland. I’m too lazy to find anything else…the iCal thing was amusing, though…

Too young to make their own decisions…

July 15, 2003

I’m sorry, but I have a serious issue with these kids. I originally found them while scanning ANANOVA for the strange and unusual. It seems that Russian Dzhambulat Khotokhov is the World’s largest four-year-old child, weighing in at 123 pounds at a stalky 3 feet 11 inches. Apparently, these kids are wrestlers and their parents […]

Dear internet02.lutron.com…

July 14, 2003

I happened to be tailing my log files while doing some updates a few minutes ago and was greeted with this gem of a referer: http://www.google.com/search?q=lovell+freeman+accident+photo To whom it may concern at internet02.lutron.com…you are a sick little monkey… Update: ool-43549b16.dyn.optonline.net is also a freak: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=VIDEO+OF+MARK+LOVELL+SCCA+CRASH

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]
  • Chippoke’s Cabin Fever Maple Whisky Bacon Grease Infused Bacon Crumble Brown Sugar Caramelized Ghost Chile Chex Mix
    What’s the best way to wind down after a hard day of trail building and mountain biking? Alcohol and bacon of course!

  • Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride!
    Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride! This is insanely cool. What happens when you cross a kid named Mac and a Mountain Bike? You get Mac Ride, a Kickstarter out of Vancouver, eh! From their Web site: It was my wish for our children to benefit from these same outdoor adventures as well as my passion for […]

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]
  • Airborne Bicycles gives a sneak peak of their new Guardian 29
    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page. Since the caption reads “A sneak-peak of one of the new models coming soon~!” there are probably more fresh designs in the pipeline! Speculation is running wild, but so far the consensus […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing and Airborne Bicycles?
    In my search for new Mountain Bikes I ran across Airborne Bicycles, a company that has an interesting offering of value-packed bikes (follow them on Facebook and Twitter). I’m intrigued by their product lineup, reviews, and press coverage so I applied to become a member of their Flight Crew. Hopefully the next time you see […]
