DennisN has on accasion had a bit of a keyboard kicking on this forum, so for those of you who don't look beyond Pro Race consider this when you are next accusing him of being a troll controlled by Satan

What a very nice thing to do Dennis, I salute you (although you have also anoyed the hell out of me sometimes too :lol:)

    As I didn't WITNESS this with MY OWN eyes, I don't believe it ever happened.

    I'm deeply touched by the love that's breaking out all over the place. I've just heard that P_Tucker, who we all know is the most religious poster on here 'cos he starts most posts with "Jesus Christ", has offered to pray with Dennis.

    For a long time I have considered him the 'voice of reason'. I am now able to acknowledge him as the 'Soul of Generosity'. I am booking a room as I write :)

    No big deal guys. Every time I was in the basement I saw it and wondered what the hell I was going to do with it. Then as luck would have it "white91" solved the issue. Trust me,
    I am totally sympathetic with trying to find a saddle, that you like, at a decent price, without having to buy ones that aren't right for you and you end up with them sitting on a shelf, sort of mocking you. So it was win win for me. The saddle mocks me no more and someone is going to get some good use out of it.

    Let's see - some of the odder things are
    A140mm stem - what the hell was I thinking?
    Four used Continental Sprinter tubulars that have had new tubes installed and haven't been used yet. WHY??? I don't know.
    A three spoke HED rear wheel that has somehow gone a bit out of true - I THINK it's broken but can't verify it any way that I know of. So it hangs there. Mocking me.
    Maybe 15 pair of cycling gloves in various stages of decay.
    A bike trainer, that I paid good money for, that just drives me nuts because I hate basement riding. I had good intentions though. If that counts?
    A Park Tool rear mech alignment tool, used twice in 8 years. I could have sworn I needed it.
    A FSA compact crankset that I stopped using because I NEEDED the new Shimano Outboard Bearing setup. After all who can ride with that octalink junk?
    A 3rd. hand tool. Basically unused.
    About 20 cone wrenches. Only 2 or 3 of which I actually remember buying. They must breed down there.
    A cheapie spring thing that holds your brake pads againt the rim. For adjustment purposes
    is my guess. USELESS.
    A 12 gauge shotgun(with ammo). Apparentlly for when the revolution starts.
    All these things - mocking me.

    A shotgun? Come on Dennis, a proper 'American' needs a least a half dozen assault rifles, a cache of waterproof ammo, bottled water, tinned (sorry canned) food, batteries, candles and matches.

    Oh sorry mate, It's Ohio isn't it, not Utah ;)

    Never under estimate the power of 12 gauge loaded with double00 buckshot. The weapon of choice for many an infantryman in Vietman.

    No, I actually use them. Although my bench presses, curls, and pretty much everything else, leave a lot to be desired when compared to my teens and early twenties.
