Interesting ad but missing something

I was reading the latest issue of Bon Appetite (yeh, one of my hobbies is
cooking and this was the BBQ issue) and I noticed an ad for Hyundai Sante Fe
right before page 41. Poor bikes. They're doomed.

Well, the ad for the BMW X3 in the latest issue of Cuisine magazine
has bikes on top that look a lot like a couple of Whyte Prst-4's - but
aren't. I guess they might be the BMW bike but I don't know what that
looks like. Painted a very nondescript gray all over with no logos or
decals they are two of the most boring looking bikes I've ever seen.
At least they're securely attached.

Actually, I've just had another look and I can't see how you'd steer
them. They've got dual crown forks on a prst like wishbone front end
but I can't see any way that the lower wishbone pivots. It's
literally just a wish bone shape with one end fastened to the forks
and the other to the down tube.

Wish I could find a link to a picture of the ad.

Maybe it's a cooking thing.

Sounds exactly like the BMW "mountain bike" from your description

right before page 41. The only reason I gave it a second look was that it
looks like two Specialized Enduros perched upon the SUV's roof. It is
supposed to depict the truck in a wind tunnel. The only problem is that the
roof rack is only securing the bikes with two wheel straps. No cobra, no
lock jaw, just the straps. I don't think I would want to be behind that
truck. Poor bikes. They're doomed.

My son was getting his hair cut the other day, the gal is a friend of
mine, I happened to notice an add in a mag for a $250 pair of scissors.
If you bought them, you got a free mountain bike, can't rememeber the
name. The pic of the bike had the front shock mounted backwards, the
V-brakes were facing the rear of the bike! My 10 year old noticed it.
All I could imagine is a group of "stylists" getting 100 boxes of these
cheap ass bikes, standing around and trying to put one together.

I saw that issue and ad, too. And damn, but some of those BBQ recipes
sound good. The one with the peppercorn brandy sauce was pretty damn
good, and was easy.

Oh, if you like Thai food, Paladin has a Tom Ka Gai recipe that will
knock your chef's hat off.

I saw that ad too - I just was looking at the destickered SpecialEds
on there. I didn't notice the lack of supports. LOL. It's just an
ad. Probably filmed on a closed circuit with a professional driver...

To paraphrase the Hitchhikers Guide. If your so smart, you tell us
what color the wheel should be!

"If you like Thai food?" A blasphemous question if I ever heard one!
But glad to hear you must have made it and liked it. It is time
consuming, but a labor of love.

LOL. I'm not sure I know of anyone who has actually tried Thai food
and not liked it. But one must give the benefit of the doubt to the
great unwashed, ya know...

It's not bad in that regard, either. Getting the proper ingredients
is what takes the time. Out here in the whitebread, All-American,
undiverse Palouse, getting ahold of real Asian foods is tough. Just
try getting decent lemongrass at Safeway. Or, for a laugh, ask
someone at the local IGA about galangal ginger. Thai peppers? LOL.

And once you are done, this Tom Ka Gai will rip off your head and
shout down your neck-hole:

"THIS IS GOOD [censored]!"

Thanks, man.

We have one and a half of those here. All the 'gredients can be had
(even ghee, if yer not bright enough to make your own, LOL) and the
prices are reasonable. Thai chiles are hard to come by, but they have
habaneros at the Safeway here, and those things are hot enough. They
don't have the particular bite of Thai chiles, but not too many folks
notice. And I'm not a four-star Thai guy anyway.

We got a couple of grad students here that call it that.

Which is sort of funny, considering the overall racial make-up of the two places.
