    Should I call boxers that aren't baggy briefers?
    Is a breathable rain jacket a brainjacket?

    I can't get dressed until this is resolved.

    Brunch is an abomination of a meal where one is forced to either eat pancakes and eggs at a restaurant that normally serves a full menu, or eat eggs and pancakes at a bar that doesn't normallyserve food at all. And you know how you're kinda tired/kinda hungover and just want more booze to "normalize?" Well your server is kinda tired and hungover too; in fact, this goes for the entire kitchen. And they can't drink on the job because the manager is a dick. So, yes, they're just eggs and pancakes, and they'll take as long as they'll take. Now enjoy not being able to drown out the pretentious blowhards seated a little too close to you.

    Brunch is acceptable because it provides a reasonable excuse to drink before lunch. Drinking at breakfast is tacky, drinking at brunch is refined. No need for a made up meal to justify drinking after noon.

    Then it would be the thing that pulls that little chain which disappears inside the hub. If it were a kickback hub his would be moot. Unless we're calling in a hurifter to differentiate it from regular hubs and shubs.

    Well, sort of...
    Over in the General population I responded to a thread about Ritchey travel bikes (I have one and like it). In my response was the statement that I built it up with indexed bar end shifters as I don't like B R I F T E R s. I thought it was changed by a mod without first PMing me and I couldn't see what was wrong with my post in the first place. Then they tell me of the filter device and I still don't understand why the word B R I F T E R would be so disturbing as to require sensorship. Since it was obviously deemed OT, this was where I came to see exactly what the problem might be.....still don't know....
