All the pretty pictures!

Just a quick not to say that I've got some cool black and white pictures up on Flickr that I took of campus last year and just got developed last week. Click the above photo to be taken to my album, or search through my links. If you feel the need, which is doubtful as apparently no one else ever really does, please feel free to leave comments on any of my pictures.

Wait, I lied. There is something else I want to write about. That is the apparent rise of what I call "retard handlebars." It seems that sometime in the last few years a large group of college students decided that vintage bikes with huge retarded handlebars were suddenly cool again. Of course they are all HORRIBLY mistaken.
Aside from looking utterly miserable and successfully transforming my personal image of the rider from Normal American to Failed Circus Artist they are remarkably annoying on the bike rack. I wish I had a dime...
nay a PENNY for every time someone chained their bozo mobile next to my bike and tangled their huge handlebars into my brake lines or my bike lock. While they're in class daydreaming about how hip they are I'm outside the building pitted in mortal battle with their bikes antlers.
Bottom line is, it's not necessary, just get a real bike. THANKS!

If stickers make you happy why doesn't super gluing you to the cable van?

You succeeded in making me laugh out loud. The comment about being "pitted in mortal battle with their bikes antlers" was great. I hereby award you a cookie. Maybe even some flavor-blasted Goldfish. (I know:Oooh!)
