You'd find the ISO 60-622 size even more impressive.

But not kawaii!

I didn't realize that that was a positive attribute of a bicycle.
Or anything, for that matter...

Of course, my household is ethnically 1/4 Japanese, so it comes to
me whether I want it or not... (just keep it away from my car,
please.)

No Hello Kitty™ stickers on the Studebaker?

I wonder if they make these in a 700c?

Mike Kruger?

well, no, really I don't. However, I really, really, really hope

someone please post something that kicks a$$ to counteract...

Does this help:

You don't like me, do you? Have I done something to **** you off?

Better than goatse or tubgirl, no?


*sigh* or meatspin, yes...

(now THAT... I *really* can't let her see. I'd like to think wouldn't
seriously consider it... I hope...)

How about a cartoon where Sanrio meets H.P. Lovecraft?

Actually for xmas one year I got my cuter half a Hello Cthulhu t-shirt.
She actually liked it ("oh, it's such a CUTE little Cthulhu!")

"Hello Cthulhu" to the tune of "Hello Delilah." Can't find it at the
moment, but, well, anything would be an improvement on the original. I
lawled, anyway.
