seeing disney
associated with the muppets and that stupid new movie is really fucking
sad. what exactly did disney ever do except buy off other people's
work and rip off some public-domain classics--other than be an asshole
nazi and anti-semite? very sad that every scrap of children's
entertainment probably will have a disney logo any day now.
in the spirit of the season, alexander cockburn mercilessly
shreds the
paterno family professor of literature at the
pennsyltucky vatican over his love of war and support for the glorious american empire and her lovely lovely oil. sweet jesus. more cockburn--
and gibbs--and less berube and his child-raping patrons please.
as someone whose latest custom steel frame was built with columbus sp
tubing, perhaps i am not the intended client-base for the newish
over-oversized lugs and tubing for road bikes. i am however more
curious than i should be. richard sachs lists the lugs and fd braze-on but no word on tubes or fork crown that i can find. llewellyn
seems to have been on this for a while, but he couldn't be any farther
away unless he starts building frames on the moon. not being a
framebuilder, i don't really know how much variety of tubing there
really is for these frames and how much tuning can be done. i would
think that even the lightest gauges would be overkill on smaller frames,
but i don't know first hand. i'm also not sure who's done enough of
these frames to know the ins 'n outs--probably australia, again, but
still wicked far. is the point light weight or extra rigidity? are
there ever going to be matching fork crowns and enough tubing choices to
make it worthwhile? we may never know the answers to these questions,
but tune in next time for another exciting episode of bullshit or not?
get this girl a scholarship!
let's hope this girl gets herself outa' kansas if she wants. some of
our over-priced selective and not-so-selective private universities on
the east coast would benefit from a
wise-ass kansas girl.
