[kosmo vinyl]

didn't the high strung write a song on this very subject?

[Sailor Ripley]

If he has any sense he is drinking all of my beer to help dull the pain - although he seemed to not be hurting to bad this morning, last night was another story.  I'm sure if he finds my computer he will log on and give a report. In the meantime, I can tell you this: I was not responsible!
 
 Send cards, flowers and vicodin to lulu and I am sure she will see that he gets them.

woohoo!  a bikers' milestone achieved!
 
 i remember the time i dislocated mine.  Hoo-ey did that sucker hurt.  But it's a very very common biker's injury, and we all have to face the music sometime.  In some circles, it's a badge of pride and a rite of passage.

 Were you at least able to capture the moment on video for future posterity?

oooh, fun, now that i've finally got the hang of clipless pedals
 
 something new to look forward to!

[ggw]

Did he pop it back in right there on the trail, Mel Gibson style?

[Sailor Ripley]

Unfortunately, no video.  I had a camera but it wasn't out and I was riding in front of him.
 
 As far as popping it back in, No, he went to the hospital.  Probably so he could get a script

just don't be that guy that stops at a sign/light, forgets to unclip in time, and just falls over.  it's quite amusing for the rest of us to watch, but it's no fun to be stuck to a falling-over bike.

My brother and I used to ride down the hill of our big long driveway on the farm we lived on when we were 8 or 9 or so. We'd race...and one day he crossed over and cut in front of me and wrecked me. Did something to my shoulder, put me out of little league action for the whole summer...though I refused to go to a hospital.
 
 And if you didn't like that story, have i ever told you about the blue haired girl at the Pixies show.
 
 Get well lil Markie, hope it doesn't keep you off the board.

[brennser]

ouch! get well markie

[Bags]

my suggestion:
 
 Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ectasy and Alcohol
 Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ectasy and Alcohol
 Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ectasy and Alcohol
 Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ectasy and Alcohol
 
 Hope he feels better soon and his elbow remains in working order...

[vansmack]

Sorry to hear about it mate.  Happy mending.
 
 This probably means lots of Halo for you though - talk to you soon!
