A New Ride for my Dick


Just changed my bike saddle today. To cut a long story short, to preserve my future generations, I though it was time to take the tingling sensations coupled with numbness in my dick seriously. I decided to change my Fizik Arione for one with a much more generous cut-out – the SMP Evolution. The cut-out is more substantial than the previous Selle San Marco Aspide Aerohead.
As saddle purchases are largely a personal choice as well as a gamble, I went 2nd hand. I managed to land a good deal with year-old one, used used once, still packaged with the silica gel at less than half the cost.
When I purchased the Arione, it was based on numerous praises from user reviews and all the marketing hype; wing flex, more contact area. But this site takes the cake - http://bikesportmichigan.com/reviews/arione.shtml. In it, the author sings high praises for this saddle, just like all other products reviewed. I’m sure he can sell combs to monks. He claims that the centre anti-skid strip is made of a less dense material. No where in the manufacturer’s site or web site to that matter ever mentioned a word on this. Somehow I think kissing the manufacturer’s ass might get him a better retail deal. Anyway, the Arione’s raised centre strip actually attributed to some of my numbness where the sun doesn’t shine. I hope the SMP Evolution will help the evolution of my species.

Smokers are Losers

Posers are Losers, so shall we call them PLosers?

I aim to identify losers of all kinds & no one bets smokers. Smokers are major losers. If you don’t respect the air others breathe, likewise I have no respect whatsoever for you. A big ‘L’oser for you puffing chimneys.

Losers / Posers in Road Cycling

Cycling is a good sport & hobby. It gets people to cover distances under their own power not at the expense of the environment. What strikes me as posers to the sport are roaddies (people who ride road bikes) packing their bikes & heading off to a another location for a training ride.

Firstly, in a small country about 4ox30km with easy assessible smooth roads, driving with a road bike stashed to a gas guzzler totally defeats the purpose of exercising. It's forgiveable if one is one the way to a race start. Otherwise, these people are softies. In addition, transporting one's grand-worth bike on external vehicle storage systems is a clear sign of posing. Treks, colnagos, Pinarellos & the like are meant to be ridden at 40+km/h not strapped to automobile roof tops or dragged sideways at 90km/h on the expressway.

The guilty are almost like soccor fans who never kicked a ball before, but that's another story.

Losers / Posers in Running

In races, it is prohibited to run bare bodied (topless) for men, of course. But there's evidence of some of these posers everywhere, not only in the parks, jogging track but on the road too. The police should apprehend these blokes for indecency.

They must be too poor to afford any garments to cover their upper torsals. Or too stupid to know that modern running tops are more efficient at wicking away sweat & keeping ones cool., or just too vain of their frail bodies. Maybe showing off their heart rate monitors.

Live Strong Forever

What happened to those LiveStrong wrist bands which were so fashionable. The intention of buying and wearing them (original ones, that is) is good as it supports a noble cause. Then imitations started proliferating into the market.

Posers, please don't jump into the rubber band wagon (pun intended) making a mockery of the original intention of the Yellow Lance Live Strong Bands. Wear it, wear it with pride, wear the real ones, wear it forever.
