Waxed to a point, no less.

For some reason, I can see him in khakis and tan helmet, open breeched double barreled elephant rifle on the crook of his elbow. No offense meant.

he looks even freakier in person to me. he reminds me of salvador dali (although i never met him). i felt like i was in an art gallery rather than a bike shop. i guess i know now where those funky names for his bikes came from. my two buddies bumped into him in vegas two years ago in a bar and they both said he's a pretty cool guy to talk to. he even bought them drinks.

Hi nail, how does it feel to be nailed on the head?

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING WHEN I SAW HIM!
 
I met Gary out in Moab during the Fat Tire Bike Festival years ago. He is a cool guy. I got a great picture of him, my wife and Bobke Roll.

He has also shown up at the Westchester Fat Tire Bike Festival at Blue Mountain in Peekskill a few times.

In sunny Wisconsin where the badger asses are cold indeed.
No knife. I chose not to pay to check a bag.
Currently, I'm sharpening a plastic knife on my bathroom grout. :D

Oh, and it's pointless to go after my Beckers.
If you get past the claymores and the alarm system, my wife is a crack shot.
Seriously... :cool:
 
So I'm up here in Madison, and I decide to go check out some of the protest action.
I saw some pretty funny signs, and even though folks were passionate, they were polite.
The chick standing by the statue had to be freezing her butt off.

So I'm walking back down State Street, and I see these guys eating sandwiches with fries on top.
Mind you, I've eaten well this trip. I even worked out in my hotel room.
But when God presents you with a sandwich called the FAT MILF, you man up. It's that simple.
Now for as long as I live, I can say I ate a FAT MILF in Wisconsin, and she nearly killed me.

Oh yeah, I was walking to my conference session early this morning, and damned if the Wisconsin Badger wasn't walking right toward me.
So I got a picture and then received a high five from "Bucky."
Nobody else was around. It was a little weird.

other than the mayo, several of those sandwiches looked worth trying.
the next time my blood grease levels are dangerously low...

When I was stationed in Europe that's what everyone ate with their fries. :confused: I didn't want to try it for the longest time, but when a HOT Italian chica says here try some well..........I tried it, and it really wasn't that bad. Granted I'm not eating my fries like that, but I tried it and I kinda liked it. Some things just taste better over there. :cool:

yeah, i saw that on the food channel. they mix other spices too for various flavors and i think they call it fritters. on the other hand, they probably think we're weird for putting ketchup on fries!
 
i met up with a few bladeforums members (including esav benjamin - hey, i gotta get on the good side of the supermods :D) in a restaurant today. when people started drinking beer my initial thought was, uh oh, beer and sharp knives all over the place...the most dangerous thing that day turned out to be a 1,000 lumens flashlight set on strobes in people's faces :eek: next time, i'm briging my own and i'm wearing sunglasses :cool:

after handling esav's spyderco bushcrafter...i want one...bad! good times.

Actually a lot of them mix the two for the fries. :confused:

Anyone into classic cars?

Here is my 1976 Ford Ranchero

Stock engine...

I recently rebuilt the engine. It was originally a 351 Modified and I converted the block to a 400. Literally the only difference is the crankshaft and pistons. The block is the same and shares nearly all the same parts as a 351 Cleveland.

I'm always impressed with anyone who's got automotive know-how and skills.
And that is one sweet looking ride.

aha! so you're one of those 29er freaks :p i can see why he likes 29er though - look how tall he is. i can imagine him riding a 26er would be like me riding a bmx. i'm only 5'9" and i've tried my buddy's rumblefish and i just couldn't get comfortable with it. in the meantime a bunch of my friends are really liking their 29ers - i suspect it's because they're taller than me and so it fits them better. i do have a buddy who's the same height as me and he looks like a little kid on his 29er! :D

you should've told me you love his bikes. i would've asked you ahead of time if you wanted an autographed 2011 catalog. he was suggesting only a $5 donation towards the local non-profit bike organization.
 
Getting a high five from Bucky might be one of the coolest things I've read about in awhile.
