I cracked my bike frame a few days ago; I am getting a new bike in a couple of weeks, but for now my bandmate gave me the BEST LOANER EVER.
This beauty is a vintage 1960s Bianchi.
Usually when someone lets you use a "backup bike" to get you through, it's a beater. I cannot believe he is letting me use this bike! FAST.
I also need a haircut like nobody's business.

that is a beautiful fucking bike. I love those old classic ten speeds. YOu can HAUL SOME ASS in those.

Savage Clone 08.31.2009 11:03 AM

Yeah, it's fast all right.
We took off the small sprocket in the front; it's just a five-speed now.
I usually ride single speed, so I've just left it in top gear for now, but I might try using the gears for the hell of it while I have it.
I love riding around on this work of art.

Haha, that was my loose change. That photo was taken a few days before my college graduation and there was a lou out that required drink money...i think. i'm pretty drunk in those photographs.

I like that better.

Tie dye usually annoys me.

But hey, that's not my room. Plus I guess it's a pretty cool photograph?

From like 20 years ago!?

Still don't know what it means, though. What does it translate to? I always thought the smiley face stood for "happy."

Savage Clone 08.31.2009 11:59 AM

That's because you were still stuck on the Stones even then.

Antagon 08.31.2009 12:00 PM

My face expression looks like I'm taking a dump

 

notyourfiend 08.31.2009 12:03 PM

No, I wasn't. Circa 89 I was into the pixies, robyn hitchcock, camper van beethoven, sonic youth, replacements, a little husker du, jesus and mary chain, a few other things.

But the fact that nobody can give me a straight answer indicates that nobody else knows either! ha ha!

Rob Instigator 08.31.2009 12:09 PM

notyrfriend has some serious knee socks going on in that shot!

The smiley face was the universal symbol for acid house music in 1988-90. As it was a new phenomenon at the time, and as the 12" singles spun at these events were relatively faceless, the smiley face stickers on the covers helped DJs and fans know what music was contained therein.

gmku 08.31.2009 12:19 PM

OK, sure, but what does I smiley face acid mean? It seems like a symbol-sentence nonsequiter.

static-harmony 08.31.2009 12:20 PM

I love acid. Basically.

floatingslowly 08.31.2009 12:22 PM

I love knee-socks. Basically.

Savage Clone 08.31.2009 12:24 PM

Icon-replacement puns are totally useless against gmku's utter lack of perceptiveness when it comes to Subtle and/or Dry Humor.

floatingslowly 08.31.2009 12:25 PM

what does the apple in "I apple NYC" mean? :confused:

Rob Instigator 08.31.2009 12:25 PM

"I Love Pussy?"

gmku 08.31.2009 12:26 PM

Or Non-existent humor, you mean.

floatingslowly 08.31.2009 12:27 PM

I (y) Pussy, you mean?

Haven't seen that one. But that doesn't make sense either.

It's like those family symbol icons on the back windows of SUVs. What's up with that? Like, what do you do when your cat kicks the bucket or your kid develops leukemia? Is there a symbol for that?

That's Nadja, an online friend of mine (Would be awesome if she were my gf though). Mostly meet her during summer. She's pretty cool, too bad she's in a relationship with some douchebag who's in love with himself.

Rob Instigator 08.31.2009 12:49 PM

fuckin douchebags ruin it for everyone

Anybody who knows me at all knows I do. Dorky and Savage Cone just like to take the piss b/c they're age-ists.

floatingslowly 08.31.2009 12:52 PM

I'm in shocked horror that we are discussing :), apples, cats, leukemia and douchebags when there are girls posting pictures of themselves in knee-socks.

you people disgust me.


ps: who's dorky?

gmku 08.31.2009 12:53 PM

Is one of the girls girlgun?

Savage Clone 08.31.2009 12:54 PM

I think the keyboard player in my band is older than you, actually.
And I'm no spring chicken.
