Pearl's Generic Talk

Ok Pearl loses....well not really. He has just proven that he is not an antique Jeremy, Norm, Kevin and I. As I said Norm's games reminded me of a granpa Utah Story....Gather around kids. So long long ago when I was 30 I dated a girl who was 21.....(you can high five me later, she was way out of my league, maybe she had poor eyesight?) Anyway, so I take her out on a double date with her friend (also 21) and BF who is also 30. Place we go to eat has a DeLorean parked out front. So as we walk by I say to the other guy (steve)...."Steve, what the hell is a jigawatt?".. He busts out laughing...The girls stop and look at us..."WHAT? whats so funny?" Like we were laughing at them or something. You know jiggawatt? NOPE. They never saw back to the future...not a clue what we were talking about. Holy shit, I wanted to think they were just vapid dingbats, but I remembered that niether of them were alove when that movie came out. I think that was the first time I really felt old. Well that and when Steve brought up later than we were both seniors in HS when they were in 3rd grade...."Hey steve, ixnay on that shit yo!"

Red Dawn, a classic* movie from the 80s:

* ok ok, maybe classicly awful. Wow that's some terrible footage right there.
Click to expand...

a few months ago the wife and I were looking for a movie to watch and I convinced her to watch Red Dawn. I told her that it was an AWESOME movie. About 10 minutes in she started to mock me mercilessly. this continued throughout the movie. the mocking came to a head during the scene when they all retreat to the mountain after the kid dies and they are all crying and stuff and Patrick Swayze starts yelling "YOU GOTTA TURN IT INTO SOMETHING ELSE. YOU GOTTA TURN IT INTO SOMETHING ELSE!!"

my wife was howling.

proof that a movie that was AWESOME to a 12-year old boy in 1984 will not necessarily be as well received by a 35-year old woman in 2010.

still like the movie. the beginning scene where the Russian paratroopers are droping down in teh school yard - come on...classic!!

WOLVERINES!!!!!

months later if I am in a bad mood my wife will tell me ..."You gotta turn it into something else"

My name is missing. 🙁 oh well I hope you do well and the Angel of Death doesn't pay you a visit. You'll know her when you see her. We'll have fun at jungle next week
 
SS? Beast. The course starts out with some climbing, just hop on rob's wheel, he is slow on the hills so he'll set a good pace for ya 😉
 
H.S. is this the first cat2 4u. If so you picked a winner. Guess we won't see you for a while. 😀
 
knock it off guys

Seriously. Pearl just called me crying asking if I'd dress like him and do the race as him...I don't like hearing him cry cause he gets hysterical about it. You guys are scaring the pee pee out of him. James, its ok don't worry about living or dieing just worry about paying me that $150.00 you owe me before sunday. I wrote some things down I'd like to say at your funeral. Martin wants your fork if it makes it
 
R.I.P. James, I'll take over the fantasy league. Wear something brightly colored so your corpse doesnt get run over and tenderized. Way to step it up, I did the same thing last year after this race so I wouldnt embarass Dustin anymore.
 
Keep this short sweet as I am scared;

Rode into work today with sneakers to keep my legs fresh. It is only 11 minutes each way, on my bike, so it is hardly anything to talk about. I felt funny with a t shirt and khakis on. I'm suppose to meet up with someone at Six Mile to sell my SS rear wheel, I'm debating on getting in a quick spin session before I stuff my face for Sunday. The whole, "rest before I race" thing, doesn't work for me.

First Cat 2 race
Not sure what everyone elses first Cat 2 race expectations were (and I would love to hear them) but my goal is just to finish with a respectable time. I could finish last, but if I finish last chasing the 2nd to last place guy, that is okay in my books. The fact that the guy who set the course up said it is more of a MTB course than a spinning roadie course made me feel better. I feel I have more skills on the mountain bike than my lungs and brain do at staying fresh and on top of things.

It almost reminds me when we used to goto Englishtown and would do quarter mile runs. I would line up next to a 10-11 second car. My car wasn't that fast. Instead of waiting for the tree to turn and get smoked by a car doing a wheelie, I waited until I was ready to run before I pushed it. Not saying I'm going to fall back on purpose at the first mile of the race, I'm not going to focus on others at all. We will see. I hope it rains so I can use it as an excuse.
 
you might like cat 2 better. With 2 laps you can settle down and get into a groove without feeling like you have to sprint-a-lap in cat 3.
in a sense pressure is off to finish up front. its your first cat 2 race so just have fun. i usually crap in my pants thinking about races, so i try not to think about them and just do my thing. i actually enjoy the 2nd lap.
