Friggin' OFF-SEASON! We're going stir-crazy- and here's the proof.
Pliny… I have no words. (I am sure that you can feel the death-stare that I am aiming at you, LOL)
You know what we need?
Lots of mid-week cross races. That would keep us from resorting to this…

Or maybe a Wednesday Session...
Early yet out in the Surf Zone, though.
It was just a long race--Edvald Boasson Hagen, on the Giro
Ride ride ride!
Riding stimulates creativity. At least this is the excuse I use when the girlfriend asks, incredulously, if I’m really going out for 3 hours when I have work to do.

That song and video is EPIC!!!!
and for all the wrong reasons.
Look, it's a bird...no, it's a plane....oh never mind it's just fucking balloon boy
Personally i think Frinking should go on an adventure to the Land of the Angelsacian
so he can write about it… because that vid is scary. So Pliny did your wear your jeans that high? And ‘they’ say cycling is homoerotic. Lol.

What/whoever takes your fancy... I'm just in the mood for a good 'yarn'
as we would say in Australia…. and really you have a good history of making something out of nothing :)

Well you're not Tim Winton, but some day...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
It's almost coincidence..
But favorite song now is a cover of Ben Folds Five – One angry dwarf and 200 solemn faces .. Well then a good Dutch version of the song.. Just dreaming (:
I'm not quite getting the coincidence,
but if it’s about being creative then maybe it fits :)

*Angelsachian... damn... don't correct my spelling again :(

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
Staring at the swim team gets you killed by a gang of dancing ninja men who know how to twirl.
hehe...
yeah, as Lou says, it’s the off-season, about 5 months ’til spring here…
I'm feverished, or the way you want to spell it
You understand that for some of us it's summer? Beach was beautiful today :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yeah but to enjoy it you have to live 5 days from civilization! ps I still wear my jeans that high!

Nah, Sydney's full of beaches too..
I’ve heard those jeans are back in fashion =(
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
exactly - 5 days from any civilization...

Oops. I forgot the US was the centre of the universe..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
close…I actually live in the world’s biggest environmental rogue state, one that’s currently coming to terms with possible prisoner abuse in Afghanistan…probably not the country you’re thinking of, though.

Too cryptic for me. Thought you might mean Oz
but you don’t live here and prisoners in Afghanistan haven’t been on the agenda. Anyway, I obviously have no clue … not unusual for me I’m afraid..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
While I was there, I found
this as well.
Frinking should redirect his animus.
HAHA!
new comment of year!

Ok. And whilst other names flicked through my head, this wasn't one of them...
Thanks Drongo ….
But ‘biggest environmental rogue state’..Pliny, I think you have plenty of competition.

Ooh.. I heard something hocking..
Australia is responsible for 1.5% of the CO2, or other thing, emission.. That’s the most CO2 per head of the population.. You even beat the USA! and Japan! and… Woow i was shocked.. and concerned about this… There went my image about Australia…
Ooops. Face it though, your image of Australia was always a bit tainted...
but yes, we need to get our act together. The fact that we have so much space and so many beautiful and low density living makes us complacent and that’s not OK.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
then again, Holland beats China, and (I’m guessing) 90% of the world…
I'm feverished, or the way you want to spell it
by plinytheelder on Dec 4, 2009 6:10 AM EST up reply actions
How many is a lot/one miljard people?
It’s obvious China can still go a long way.. And if it’s just 90% we are ding pretty ok.. Than we beat most of the civilized/more developed countries
Ok.. Based on this map forget what I said before
W, the Dutch,e may not speak than.. We are doing very bad…
That's an amazing site. Thank you
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
yes Drongo is right
we’re now “to climate change as Japan is to whaling,” bloody embarrassing

Now that's a scary comparison...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
oh yeah! I don’t know how to change it though, can you change it for me? Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. By the way where did you learn the abbreviation (Mpls)? Cool.

Jens made the map
Only he can update it. Or someone could copy it to his own account and update from there. That would be silly.
Uhm, I don’t know where I picked that up, probably either Prince or Smithers.
Okay, let me get this straight
You’re saying Sydney is too far from civilisation and you live in Nova Scotia?
That is a little funny.
I was trying to ignore that.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
ah I think you're taking me a bit seriously -
I was joking about Australia being a 24 hour flight from everywhere…except its own crassness… ;) (just kidding around Australia)

a good response though -
touché! ;)

Can anyone in the English speaking world ever point the finger
at anyone else over ‘crassness’? It’s an art form…
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
hehe true enough
By the way I just read that there’s a move afoot to suspend us from the Commonwealth over our climate policies, as we’re contributing to flooding in other Commonwealth countries (Bangladesh, Maldives, etc.). General crassness, indeed.

Postcolonialism rocks... unless you're in Zimbabwe
and all the other small places that have been used up and spat out. Still such a move should squeeze money/aid out of other wealthier nations, so it’s no bad thing. Whether we do anything serious about climate change… well that’s another matter.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Indeed
Although I’d rather be taken to task for our real embarrassments than, for example, the seal hunt. (But I can’t help cringing that he apparently flew all the way to Canada to write about the tar sands… from Toronto.)
It's got a good beat and you can dance to it.
(Watching that sail right over Frinking’s head…and probably a lot of others as well.)

I hit the link
Some comments saying under the vid they like it…..
and my wife started singing and dancing
Moo
Ask her if she want to sing and dance to the literal version.
