They'll make it look like Israel is defending itself."I get home after 2 hours in the woods flogging myself stupid on that very singlespeed and lo-and-behold BUSH is sending an envoy to talk to Iran during some UN palaver to the surprise of the talking heads and then I realize that if (when) that meeting proves fruitless, Bush has all the ammo (!) he needs to green light the strike.'Can't talk to the Ter'rists, We tried that and they go and bomb Israel'Low blood sugar? Histamine reaction to blackberry thorns?Is my mechanic on to something??

That is below the loftiness of vaunted positions.Especially a Single Speed bike. It seemed the poster went out of his way to point out that he had a single speed bike. WTF do you need a mechanic for that for?

WTF do you need a mechanic for that for? The chain. It isn't zero sum. It confuses a DUmmie no end.

And I got a pretty low mechanical aptitude.
What confuses them is that they can't find the end of the chain to string it through the sprocket.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
Personally, I think the chain slipped and the DUmmie has 'broken' the family jewels.

Well Tucker, It takes too much work to put half the chain on the sprocket and jump on the pedals to make it go on all the way. I gotta admit, you have to be an inept mofo to have a damn bicycle mechanic. I was taking my entire bike apart and greasing bearings when I was 7.
Ok, even I can change stuff on a bicycle.

I am a certified bicycle mechanic by the state of Michigan! I have certifications in 1,3,5 and 10 speed bikes. I only charge $45 an hour at the bicycle dealership in which I am a master bicycle mechanic!
