Ack! The Reverend Horton Heat you cretin! One of our Texas boys showing how psychabilly is done. I'm
surprised no one has mentioned The Cramps, especially with all you blue-bloods lurking about.

Then again, I'm a recovering greaser. Had to shave the pomade encrusted pompadour to put on a
bike helmet...

Yeah, only if I wear my greaser garb with a shaved head I end up looking like a neo-nazi skinhead :(
So my leather jacket and cuffed pants are gathering dust these days.

Since my last name is Ernst, I should probably pass on that fashion statement... "We're the boys...
We're the boys with the swastika tattoos!"

Oh yeah! And my flametip Gibson's, my wingtip Fluevog Angels, and my swirl Tredairs. Man, all that
money in shoes could buy a nice second wheelset!

Ouch, in more ways than one!

There's an instrumental piece in Kranked 2 that's mostly just a trumpet tootling along. In slow
sections, I often find myself whistling it. Heck, I often find myself whistling it regardless...it
reminds me of riding. :)

What, you believe everything you read on the internet? ;-) I did find a reference in Disease and
History by F. Cartwright that "Ba Ba Black Sheep" had something to do with post Black Death Wool
Barons. But I wasn't thinking about that riding today!

Because my bike is yellow, too... ANd that song, I might point out, is very Crackerlike. In fact,
that's who I thought it was the first couple of times I heard the song.

Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ecstasy, and Alcohol....co co cocaiiine.

Sorry. Just saw 'em live and the rhythm makes for great climbing.

Having come here from Texas, I can say without a doubt: yes. (accompanied by MUCH longer uphills!)

Yeah - I got those pants at a real bargain price, and I can't afford to replace them.

;-(

They also cut off the German Tanksuit I was wearing (I loved that! Came with a thermal wicking liner
and everything).....

;-(

When they were asking could they cut them off, I found it a stupid question (I was fooked, who gave
a **** about the pants!), so I sarcastically said 'yeah, but please don't cut the belt'. He spent 5
minutes trying to undo the mangled buckle FFS.......heheheh......

Shaun aRe - still got the belt.......

Man, that's an effective one! I've got it stuck even without hearing it. ****.

Cindy Lauper, She-Bop.

A couple months ago, I watched Repo Man (for maybe the 20th time) and I got the old 7-up jingle
stuck for days.

I guess I don't climb that fast. I tend to hear their loopier stuff, like "Leg of Lamb", even though
I don't like it as much. "Song for the Deaf" or "...Dead" (song, not album, though I don't remember
which) is fine for droning along too. /s c-c-c-c-c
