I do feel kinda gypped. I mean, why the hell did I pay for the helmet if I'm not even going to hit my head when I fall? I might as well not wear the damned thing.

I agree. Plus it makes you look like a sissy to a degree that no amount of ethnically insensitive vocabulary can overcome.

Hey, some of my best friends are Gypsies.

I was gonna say the same about your upcoming surgery.






I'm here till Thursday, folks! :eek:

:( I've got a hug waiting for you.

What cardinal rule of yours did you break?

Never cross in front of a driver-occupied vehicle without eye contact from said driver.

I was intent on getting through the intersection (it's easily a 10-15% time penalty on my commute if I make that light or get stopped) and was going to gamble with someone waiting to make a right. I DID think better of it, but by the time I did I couldn't come to a stop before the intersection, so I had to try to turn off. But I just had too much speed, plus I hit the slope of the corner ramp, so my wheel just went perpendicular and I got dumped.

Sounds pretty Humerus to me. :D

never get involved in a land war in Asia

Ouch. Hope you're feeling better today, Greg.
