They're in London?

They're trying to get like the 2020 or something Oylmpics in SF, that'd be really cool to see.

I hate the olympics, they take up too much tv time.

Play music for him.

2010 olympics are in Whistler, which is like an hour from where I live.

Some of the events are going to be held half an hour from where I live. :cool:

My dad saw a bunch of the 1980 olympics.

The Olympics are terrible for London. They're expanding all the main ring roads for them, they'll be bulldozing a massive massive MASSIVE part of the East End to build the Olympic village and all the other crap, they're relocating people and businesses (in many cases the people being relocated aren't fairly compensated [even when it IS fair to chuck someone out of their home, regardless of how much money you give them]) and many businesses are refusing to move, I support them. They already predicted it's going to cost more than the budget they have set, and Londoners are going to be paying for it. We're also gonna be choked down with tourists (tourism is fine, when it's not over the top), the Tube workers are probably going to strike (which will be funny), and the Met are going to have a hard time keeping it all under control. Not that I will help.

Don't the Tube workers always go on strike?

So you mean that your city will have lots of people in it.

The Olympics are fun.

I don't think I've ever watched any of the olympics.

I did once; I think.

I occasionally watch it when it's on although usually that's only when I have nothing better to do

I never see it when it's on, but hear all about it, and then they end and don't come back for 4 years.

I've heard Philadelphia is trying really hard for the 2016 games. I'd consider seeing some of that, but I'd stay the hell out of the city during it otherwise.

Toronto comes close every year, and fails.

That's because god hates Canada.

God hates all cold places.

He's not real fond of Noo Yawk.

God da[size=2]m[/size]n it, somebody just crooked my fu[size=2]c[/size]king bike. :upset:

Duuuuuuuude. Beat. My bike got stolen before. It sucks a lot.

I wish I had a cool bike.

I can play the beginning of "I Ain't Marching Anymore" on guitar, and I've only ever played guitar in music class when they tried to teach us in like 7th grade.

I may start riding my bike this summer.

In other news, I'm on page 4 of my paper for my Sociology class, and I only just finished the first part. Though, a lot is kind of fillerish and I may take a lot out if I get a chance to rewrite before Thursday. Hopefully I'm doing this all right and I'll get a good grade on it.

I'm not only planning on bike riding for fun this summer, I'm planning on using it as my main form of transportation, only bumming car rides when it's extremely important. Also building a tall bike and helping friends fix bikes is in order.

This summer will consist of living like a hippie.

Instead of getting my liscense, I'll bike.

Instead of getting a job, I'll sell tie-dye at the farmer's market

Instead of buying my friends gifts, I'll make them shirts and patches (this also will be used to "pay" for gas money, which they demand greatly for driving me).

i used to bike all the time back in the good ole days.
we used to go on adventures and ride across town to the skate shop or sister subs and on the way we would hit up hills and jumps such as the jewish jumper. that was a good one.

Yeah I used to bike a lot when I was younger too.

steal one that seems to be a popular option

I don't steal :(.

[QUOTE=BCT]steal one that seems to be a popular option[/QUOTE]
also train tracks are a prime spot to find fixer-upper bikes for some reason.

@asdf: how the hell do you build a tall bike? ie: where can i get a blueprint?

back in the day we would walk ever where or skateboard it was a bitch but fun at times. What is worse then that though is when someone you are with has a bike and you don’t and you have to ****ing run. That **** still happens to me from time to time and I have a car now.
