How about favorite foods? The off-season has just started here in the northern hemisphere and I am really considering indulging for a few weeks.

My favorite food is quite simple: Pizza. I grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania where pizza and anthracite coal are king. I now live in Philadelphia which has a very large Italian population. However, the Philly pizza can't compare to back home (Neither can NY pizza). In particular, there is a town there called Old Forge that has its own unigue style of pizza. Its a thick crust but not quite a Sicilian...kind of light an airy with just a hint of crunchiness on the bottom. The sauce is somewhat sweet and the cheese sticks to your teeth.

Old Forge has a Main Street that is about three or four blocks long but they have about a dozen pizza joints. Each one is packed on the weekend as people travel for miles around just for this freakin pizza. Boy, I could go for some now.

Fortunately, they will FedEx it to you if you'd like: http://www.arcaroandgenell.com/

Went on a club ride this morning and got my max heart-rate up 4 beats per minute. I know - that IS my max HR, the other rate was erroneous.

Nah, the posts have to have at least some pretence of content, three words isn't enough IMHO.

Your idea presents me with a dilemma - as a regular contributor to the "other" thread I have a vested interest in maintaining its pre-eminence. However, silliness and quirkyness is to be encouraged so I don't want to sabotage your fledgeling efforts. What to do?

But I interpret it this way. The 220 minus your age rule is actually Golden. Which means I got four years younger this morning and my real age is now 30 (220 - 190). This cycling is the fountain of youth..

Yeah. I suspected someone might pick up that it was a form of cow-blooding (used it again Bro) our way to victory.

Where's HV when you need him. His three word posts were authentic. Like:

"Nike Pharmstrong = Livewrong"

Do you really think that game is going to last 16,675 posts matagi?? Or that by the time we eventually get to 17K posts, the other thread won't be at 30K.

Hey matagi. I just checked my master creation, which I was going to entitle "Page 21 - This Forum is Dying" and I see that you skunked it with post #314.

The jury is still out on your intentions participating in this thread, especially with your revelation that you are a part creator of the 17K - who care's - thread.

If it wasn't for the fact that you basically nixed the whole raison d'etre of my effort anyway, I'd really get . But since you are Aussie, I'll let you off lightly. BTW what are you doing up so early in the morning, unless you live up-over and not downunder?

Hey Frigo, I've not forgottin' you. Just got sidetracked. There's a whole "Favourite Foods" thread that Lim set-up in the other Bike Cafe sub-forum. Seemed 95% of people posted that they liked italian food including the OP.

I posted that, when I was a little boy, my mum would give me my favorite meal on my birthday, which was: sausages, mashed potato, and peas.

Now on my birthday I get BBQ grilled rib-eye steak, mashed potato and peas (but I no longer live with my mum).

This basically encapsulates the sum-culmination of school, college, and thrashing my guts out at work. I now get steak instead of sausages.

[PS. But what I actually want is garlic-buttered grilled lobster, preceded by a lightly fried calamari and the best sauce imaginable, and followed by a delectable creme brulee, all washed down by an '82 Chateau Lafitte sitting at a candle-lit table in a restaurant on the cobblestoned margins of the Champs Elysee in the company of the girl of my dreams )

Will it still be hot by the time it gets to Seattle?

Well, you didn't have to go and tell everybody! BTW, you did burn those negatives like you promised, right?

I think I really do love you. Just curious, not that it would seal the deal or anything, but do you have and Australian accent? Or could you like fake one really well possibly?

One of my favorite foods is lasagna, which is coming out of the oven in 5 minutes....
