while assembling a T2 Thule bike rack for a customer in the shop yesterday, the hitch bar (essentially a 2" square steel pole - approx 4' long and about 30lbs) slipped out of it's mount and fell - end on - onto my toe.

i've never wanted to shout "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK" so much in my life, but with the customer (and the rest of the shop) within earshot i couldn't...

no riding for me today...and its the first non-rainy day in a week

(pi<s></s>ssflaps)

    i shaved my toes once...

    ...had goddamn toe-stubble afterwards

    (very unpleasant and itchy. why do my toes need hair on them anyways? not like you can style that sh!t!)

    I've just came a cropper outside on my little fun box while trying to learn how to x-up, but lost balance on the landing and sort of had half my body on my bike and half off while being dragged along the floor... I then whacked the side of my knee on the stem and have now got a bruise about 4" X 4"..Oh the agony!

    Can you plait toehair? You would look good in sandals with toenytails.

    Going for someone's testicles is too low, too unmanly. Go with the butt-rape.
