Ya can't make up stuff like this. I'd go but the doc won't let me on the bicycle until July 11. Surprised

Cycling is the one sport where a guy can shave his legs, wear spandex and bright colors, and be accepted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Bottomed_Girls and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_Race

"Fat Bottomed Girls" was released as a Double A-side with the song "Bicycle Race." This cut includes the line "Get on your bikes and ride". Bicycle Race also contains the line "Fat bottomed girls, they'll be riding today, so look out for those beauties, oh yeah", completing a double cross-reference between the two songs.

On that basis, I think not!

Ya... Right..... LOL



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Dang! Wish I'd thought of that when I was riding my bike across Texas.

Well, I'd just love to do it. Unfortunately Vermont is a lot of miles (and shekels) away.

We have a 'Montpelier' in Bristol - did you know? It is far too steep for bike riding. Some roads are almost too steep for cars.

Love,
Anthony

"far too steep for bike riding" -- Hey, them's fightin' words. Ain't nothing in England near as steep as the two switchbacks going up the hill from the oceanographic institute to UC San Diego, and I rode those every day for a couple of years!

OK! Amend that to 'too steep for wimps'! [And I'm a wimp.]

The average naked human body is usually pretty ugly unless it is either young, fit, or both!

I can only imagine the horrific sight some of that bike ride would be!

Yes, JC,

I'm not beautiful now if I ever was. I'm glad to say my standards have changed and I like most people, even the old and ugly ones - especially those that have something about them I respect. Perhaps I'm not quite so obsessed by beauty as some other gay men!

There are some people whose bodies are nothing special who I would still love to hug.

OK OK I give in. My eyes give me away.

Love,
Anthony

Does the word "superficial" strike a nerve?
