Cell Phones, Designs and World Champs

Yesterday... Ol' Curly was at a steak house and while he was in line, he spotted the sign at the left posted at the register. At first it kinda pissed Curly off, but then he got to thinkin' bout the poor folk who have to put up with some toolshed blowing off time when he/she's supposed to be orderin' steak. Of course it didn't help none that the person in front of Ol' Curly actually disregarded the sign and held up the process. What did Ol' Curly do? He politely said... "Ma'am... I understand if you have a reading disorder so I'll read the sign for you... TURN OFF YOUR DAMNED PHONE!" Now, I realized that maybe the sign was designed incorrectly... maybe they should put up a sign that sez "Please make a call on your cell phone right when you get up to the front of the line so you can blow off everyone's time and hold folks up and possibly get your ass kicked as you try to leave."

At home... Ol' Curly got a nice note this morning... it said:
DON'T FORGET TO...
Make the boy's lunch
bring in the garbage cans
fold your laundry in the dryer
load the dishwasher
write check for babysitter
pick up huge dead spider in the downstairs hallway

Design... Now Ol' Curly likes a well-designed note so he re-wrote it for Mrs. Curly in the manner to which he prefers:
DO THESE 3 THINGS:
1) Make the boy's lunch and write the check for his babysitter
2) Load the dishwasher, Fold your laundry and pick up the dead spider while you're there
3) On your way out, bring in the garbage cans

Ya just can't tell people "NO" or "DON'T"... Ya have to tell them what TO DO. Ever tell a kid, "Don't touch the T.V.!"... they immediately touch the T.V. The word "don't" is silent. Same with dogs and bike racers... WAVE dangit!

World Champs... Man the banner looks sweet don't it? Hat's off to Hambone this morning down in Creative... his incorporation of OAD's attempt to stump Ol' Curly looks real nice. Lech Piasecki OAD... Lech Piasecki... the Prologue/TT specialist who also took the Gold in the World Pursuit champs AND won the prologue at the 86 Tour... or was it 87?

Friggin just annoyed at this... Did y'all hear that the ASO-holes tried to prevent Unibet from racing in the first "race" of the year because of a rule forbidding advertising of "foreign" betting houses... However, Predictor-Lotto and Francaise des Jokes are allowed for some damned reason. ASO-holes! Retribution would be if Unibet won that race and Tinkoff came in second... DOH! Who's the beeyatch now ASO-holes?

Your training today: Train for track today... ride your fixed gear and only make left turns. Do 3X4 minute trackstands.

see ya t'morrow... Oh... and to Mrs. Curly's credit... it was a pretty big spider that I'm sure she struggled with the idea of killing it. 1) kill/touch huge hairy spider 2) let big hairy spider live another day to maybe end up in the sheets while we sleep. Nice work Mrs. Curly!
