Gender Equality?

How can you not laugh at the following?

I'd like someone to give me door-to-door chauffeur service, bring me presents, and pay for my dinner and entertainment, all for the possibility of sex, but with no obligation whatsoever. Let's be honest; if we did this, we'd be in jail for fraud.

Sometimes, it's just not fair.

She Has a New Home

My bicycle fleet was reduced to three today as the Bridgestone RB-3 found a new home. Serve the cute blonde well in her triathlon endeavors, my faithful riding companion.



Watch out, downtown Austin. I'm now armed with additional beer money.

Let's see ... I can boil water. Perhaps I could apply for a chef's position at The Boiling Pot.
