Boo ya! Monkey Island 2: Special Edition is coming out this summer, and the newly released screenshots look pretty good (save for Elaine's character redesign). Really looking forward to it, especially to hear how all the voice acting turns out! Fail! The atrocious re-do of Steve Purcell's original cover for the game. At least the re-do of the cover for MI1 clearly had its own style; that was cool. This just looks like someone badly airbrushed and re-coloured the original. DX
Boo-Yah!: Adam and I went to pick up our newly put together bikes from the bike shop. Fail: Though the order slip clearly stated a man's bike (step over) and a woman's bike (step through), there were two women's bikes. We took one home and had to leave the other at the shop. Boo-Yah!: Though we didn't order the bikes through the bike shop, the shop owner said that if we had any problem with the online vendor we got it from, that he would work with Fuji or the vendor directly to correct the problem. (Boo-Yah!: For Adam's Birthday, I got a bike!)
The odds of an accident involving that bar and your nuts are incredibly low. You're much more likely to handlebar flip or sideslide.
What benefit does the cross bar give me
That bar provides solid front-back frame support. Going over rough terrain or jumping (or any other condition where the front of the bike takes heavy momentary force load) practically require a straight bar there: other designs could allow the frame to basically fold over itself, ruining the bike and presenting a far greater danger to your balls than the bar.
Good job I only use my city bikes in the city, where there is very little need to ride over rough ground or jump. Of course I know about the strength issue, but that isn't a benefit except in extreme cases. Day by day, what other benefits are there with a cross bar?

Triangles are great. ^_^
But seriously, you can't lift your leg over the seat? That's really fucking lazy and you should be ashamed.
I can, and if you see the photo of my new bike you see it isn't a step-through. But my old bike and my travel bike both are step-through, and my laziness is well served.
Win: I have a bag of clementines. Fail: The inevitable down-side of this being that at a point in the very near future, I will have no more clementines.
Oh man! Getting your wisdom teeth sucks ass, none of them impacted I hope. That's what happened to two of mine and it was hell, and I needed ibuprofen constantly. One word of advice: DON'T SPIT!! If you spit, the gums which are building themselves up will be destroyed since they aren't that strong yet.
They're all impacted, yeah. The doctor's are putting me on massive meds though. Anesthesia and steroids for the surgery, and pain meds afterwards. It'll hurt, definitely...But the meds are supposed to help a lot, as I've heard from a lot of people.

Jesus Christ...I thought I had it bad. So...you will be a vegetable from all pumped drugs?

Maybe, we'll see. My cousin was on a ton of meds, and was apparently fine by the night after the surgery. However, my other cousin, his older brother, didn't have as many meds, and was wiped out for several days.

Ouch! Good luck with that. And be sure to have plenty of gauze, just in case.
Boo yah! Back in my city and going to hangout today! The fail is that DC doesn't have all the cool recycled clothing shops like Madison does. Seriously, if you see a Ragstock or Re Theads, go in!
