Accidental post, sorry.

THE RACE

2012-01-16T08:36:00.000-08:00

Way to go Monocogman

I would love to join you on this one, but I am busy on my around the world bike tour.

- Pete Falcon

What did you expect?

2011-08-08T14:35:00.000-07:00

Maybe our elected officials will some day be able to understand that you cannot continue on the untenable course of going farther into debt without consequences. But as they say, the chickens are coming home to roost. But lets go back to what the final authority in all matters said about money.

"The love of money is the root of all evil"
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth"

For those that do not love money, and have not laid up treasures on earth, in their attempt to one day retire, and live off the excess, (see Luke 12:16-20) this day was just like any other. But the children of this world suffered because of their love for this world and its riches.

Why not next time follow the words of the Lord Jesus?

What happened?

2011-05-16T13:24:00.001-07:00

Well I just came to, and I could not believe what I saw when I looked out the window. It is all green. Hardly any brown to be seen. The last I remember I was riding down this big hill and then off a jump, and next thing the calendar shows many months have passed, and I awake in this flat, green, at times cloudy area. Someone fill me in.

5000 Miles

2010-12-24T19:52:00.001-08:00

Congrats to Monocogman, Pete Falcon, and Pants Armstrong. Somehow on the same day they all passed the 5000 mile mark for the year on their bicycles. But they seem to have a lot in common, so this shouldn't be that strange of an accomplishment. Anyhow, congratulations guys!

Walk, you are getting old

2010-11-30T12:58:00.000-08:00

Hey George and Mildred. I believe that was you almost hitting me with your car this afternoon. Did you see my left turn blinker? I checked it when I got home to make sure it was still working. The sun was not in your eyes, it was behind you, so I know you should have been able to see my van. It sits up plenty high. Was the word STOP hard to read on the red sign? Maybe it is time to turn in you driver's license and start walking, or taking a cab.

And George, if it wasn't you driving, I apologize, but someone out there needs to be done sitting behind the wheel.

- Monocogman

Congratulations Thief

2010-11-03T20:42:00.000-07:00

Well Harry Reid pulled it off again. But in a state full of reprobates that support legalized gambling and prostitution, it is no surprise that they would cheat, lie, and do whatever it took to keep the Mormon, Harry Reid in office as US Senator. Only Californians can keep up with such stupidity by reelecting Barbara Boxer to the US Senate.

On behalf of all the sane contributors of Middle Age Hacks, may we say that Nevada and California are an embarrassment to every patriotic American citizen.

By the way, how may illegal immigrants voted for Reid and Boxer? I can tell you the answer is not zero.

The only worse liar than these two senators is the religious minister who thinks a little water sprinkled on your forehead makes you a child of God.

- Monocogman

Electric companies

2010-07-10T15:51:00.000-07:00

Maybe some of our readers could help us out with why there generally is no choice for electric service in one's area they live. Only once have I had a choice to pick between companies for service. So since there has been a choice in the past, one can't argue it is impossible for two or more companies to send power over the same lines to your home or business.

But where I currently reside, there is only one choice. Without getting into the details of what has taken place, lets just say if this was a grocery store, or auto repair shop, I would never go back to them. But since it is the only electric service offered to my home, I am as it were stuck with them.

So any input?

K-Mart is a government run organization

2010-05-05T14:38:00.000-07:00

Have you been to K-Mart recently?

Every tried to get through the checkout lane?

It feels like you are at the DMV office. It seems as though they have hired the quality of people that run city hall. It moves so slowly, as though they are trained in slowness. The average person would not be that slow if they were at home doing a project. But at K-Mart, expect to be there long enough to see the AstroTurf grow an inch.

- Monocogman

We Like Arizona

2010-04-29T12:01:00.000-07:00

To all of you haters out there. let it be known that some of us like Arizona. Of course we call it home, but we are pleased with the legislation of late that has been passed.

There has always been open carry of firearms, but now there is concealed carry with out a permit.

Earlier this month legislation became law that allows firearms manufactured in Arizona to be purchased by Arizonans without federal background checks. In other words, go into the gun store, lay down the cash and purchase a weapon that has been manufactured in the state and out the door you go.

And as of last week, the ever controversial law of police arresting law breakers. If you are against this, you are against me. I obey the laws of the land, I expect others to do so also. If you don't, I expect the police to arrest you. WHAT DON'T YOU LIBERALS GET ABOUT THAT.

If I entered your home and stole from you, would you have the same attitude, and desire to not enforce the law against burglary? Do all you liberals just want a world without rules?

So far I have not seen one group that is calling for a boycott of our state that I would want anything to do with. The boycott feelings are mutual. You boycott us, we will boycott you. But I just have a feeling after all the yelling is done, you all will still want to visit one of the most beautiful states in the union. You liberals from up in Minnesota, you know next winter when the winds are blowing strong out of the north, and the snow has drifted over your driveway, you will be wishing you were in sunny Arizona, with temps in the 60's and 70's.

THEN YOUR SILLY LITTLE BOYCOTT WILL END AS YOUR DESIRE FOR COMFORT WILL TAKE OVER

- Pete Falcon

Boycott Mexican Restaurants

2010-04-28T14:42:00.000-07:00

Two can play at this game. It is time to boycott everything commercially connected to Mexico. So what might that be, well Mexican Restaurants is about all I can think of. You know there are illegals working in them. Yes, you do know that, even you liberals that are trying to deny this fact. So as for me, my tacos are only those served up at home. Jose, Juan, and Isabel may find out that the protests and boycotts can go both ways. Hey by the way. Thanks San Francisco for staying away from AZ. We could not have come up with a better way to keep the freaks, weirdos, and wackos out of here. - Pete Falcon

Boycott San Francisco

2010-04-27T10:31:00.000-07:00

In response to all you liberals that don't like our newly signed law in Arizona concerning illegal aliens, all of us here at Middle Age Hacks are calling on a full economic boycott of San Francisco and for that matter everything related to California.

We are glad you liberals don't want to come to our state, it will be a better place without you.

Why don't all you bleeding heart liberals go down to Mexico City and protest their government for its poor treatment of its citizens that causes them to go north and cross our border.

That for our now is our official response to the response other have towards the new law.

Almost 200

2010-03-23T12:45:00.000-07:00

Good try Pants, I understand what that wind can do to you. I am impressed with 19 miles of fighting the head wind from Searchlight to the cutoff. Better than anything that wimp Minivan man could have done.

So when is the next try. Pete Falcon has some idea going about doing a 100 mile night ride. Seems kind of nuts to me, but then he though my off road century was kind of silly. Guess everyone is kind of nuts on something.

Welcome to my world

2010-03-16T21:10:00.000-07:00

Here we are. Ready to take on serious subjects. Rather than the stupidity of how cold it is in Minot, or George's snowman club in northern MN; lets discuss real subjects, things that the average American is talking about. Join with me, Minivanman, as we get right to the heart of the matter. Stay tuned, upcoming will be that which will keep you glued to your key board.

Boring

2010-03-15T14:14:00.001-07:00

OK, here it is. This is the IBP notifying you that this website is in big trouble. We are the Internet Boring Police. We can shut you down faster than you can yawn while being bored. So get with it Monocogman, Pete Falcon, Pants Armstrong, and the rest of the goof offs that contribute to this silly excuse of a blog. Give us something to read and soon, or else this is going down the tubes.

I am not moving to Minot

2010-01-25T07:12:00.000-08:00

I for one am not willing to take on this Federal Blogger's Department. So here, does this qualify as a post to keep us out of jail, and especially out of Minot. If not, I will write pages of blog posts; anything to just stay out of Minot.

Why you ask? A little jingle I heard from some U.S. Air Force men once as they described being stationed in Minot, North Dakota.

Why not Minot?
Freezin' the reason.

- George Wilson

2009-12-24T20:11:00.000-08:00

I think we need to add another friend of mine to this goofy blog that nobody really cares about. His name is John Garrison. He does some free lance productions in the area. Here is some of his work.

Look out Pete Falcon

2009-12-02T18:49:00.000-08:00

Pete, you better watch out what you say about us climbing the mountain. Take a look at this picture that was taken. I am looking down at you from on top of the mountain.

- Monocogman

So what

2009-11-27T20:29:00.000-08:00

Well the big news today seems to be that Monocogman made it up the mountain.

http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/monocogman/747963/

So what I say!!!

While he was playing on the mountain, some of us were getting important things done.

- Pete Falcon

Hey Pete, you are a regular western tough man

2009-10-29T14:42:00.000-07:00

I heard about your recent run in with those outlaws over at the rough diamond site.

http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/diamondsintherough/738164/

So we want to really know what happened. You know, from the standpoint of the man's perspective. So chime in with the details when you get a chance.

- Pants Armstrong

Soap Operas

2009-10-08T14:49:00.000-07:00

Recently I watched some soap operas. Probably to your surprise, I had never watched one. I don't care for operas. At over 70 years old that was quite the surprise to many of my friends that I had never viewed even one. Many of my friends watch them daily. Well one afternoon I watched a number of them. To my surprise, there was not an opera in any of them, not even any singing. As for soap, not a one of them had any in the show. Nobody washing their hands, no body washing clothes, or even a scene of a laundromat.

Someone really ought to change the name of those things.

- Mildred Wilson

Congratulations Pete Falcon

2009-09-22T16:05:00.000-07:00

September 23, 2008 at approximately 11am, Pete Falcon tripped and fell. But unlike normal falls, this was almost left him disabled for life. Flesh was ripped from the shin, and cuts and bruises in other parts of his body. Also his back was hurting from being twisted in the fall. Pictures can still be found on the internet of the terrible wound to the shin. Doctors around the world still marvel that he can even walk today. (well I through that last sentence in for effect) But many did wonder if he would heal normally. (not that he does much normally) But now one year to the date, he is still riding strong, walking just fine, and if you didn't know about the accident, you would never suspect anything. The scar is still rather crude looking, but healed up of course.

So Pete, take it easy and don't jump over any walls on this anniversary.

- Monocogman

Congratulations Pants Armstrong

2009-09-18T09:09:00.000-07:00

Hey Pants,

I heard you pedaled the Surly past the 10,000 mile mark today. Congratulations.

Wait until you see the the Monocog in a few weeks. Major transformation about to take place. It may be catching up in miles to the Surly soon. Well it still hasn't crossed the 5000 mile mark yet, but getting close.

- Monocogman

You lie George Wilson!

2009-09-14T10:26:00.000-07:00

George,

We heard clips from the speech you gave at the Great Snowmen of the Northwoods Club in Ely, MN this past summer while you were away. You went on and on about how hot the desert is, and how you just think 57 degrees below zero is so much better than anything above 90 degrees. You lie. You spend your winters here in Arizona, and we have heard on so many occasions your little line, "The desert is so much better than Minnesota because you don't have to shovel heat." Our sources tell us that you were accepting some honorary award for your past service to that goofy snowman club you were apart of. I think you were just saying all that so they would give you that gift certificate for the Roadkill Cafe in downtown Ely.
Well George, the truth is now out there, you lie.

- Pete Falcon

Fossilizing

2009-08-12T17:22:00.000-07:00

Back as a child we used to visit uncle George and aunt Mildred up in the iron range.
They had a term for your birthday. They called it fossilizing. So Monocogman, I heard you are fossilizing today.

So you old man, are you able to keep up with us young guys anymore?

- Pants Armstrong

Who came up with the idea of a birthday celebration?

2009-07-31T15:32:00.000-07:00

Ever wonder about that?

The thought of making a big deal over making it through another 365 days. Then adding another number to your age. Cake, candles, singing "Happy Birthday". Whose idea was that?

Children love it. Women stop having birthdays at age 39. Dads can't stop having birthdays if they have children who like to make or buy them gifts.

The Bible tells about two birthday celebrations. In both of them someone lost their head.

Happy Birthday to you!!!

-Monocogman

My first job

2009-07-15T15:13:00.000-07:00

I wanted to tell all of my readers about my first job I had.

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned, I couldn't concentrate.

Concerning Perverts, Lowlifes, Pedophiles, and those that there is nothing good about

2009-07-08T19:30:00.000-07:00

Well by now you have heard the wonderful eulogy that Peter King gave for M. Jackson, who we will simply call the perfect neuter. Was it black? Was it white? Was it a man? Was it a woman? I don't think it had any clue.

Peter King on the other hand knows something. He knows in America we still have the right to say whatever we want, whether others like it or not. That is protected in the U.S. Constitution in the Bill of Rights, First Amendment. Some in this nation want to change that. They want to change that because they are elitists that believe only they know what is right for others to hear.

What do you know? Or do you simply go along with the winds of educational thought, or go along with the news media? If you think that M. Jackson was worthy of five seconds of press coverage when he died, you too are perverted in your thinking.

But I will say this, as Peter King said that M. Jackson was no good, neither am I no good, nor any of you reading this. For the Bible says, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God", and "There is not a just man upon the face of the earth that doeth good and sinneth not."

Only one is good and that is God, the Lord Jesus Christ. He only can save a soul from hell, and give eternal life. Today place your faith in what the Lord Jesus did on Calvary's cross when he died in your place to pay for all your sins.

Acts 16:31
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."

Hurrah for Honduras

2009-06-29T16:34:00.000-07:00

If you have kept up with the news, you have read about the situation in Honduras. The president did not follow the rule of law, and the supreme court ruled to have him removed. They were simply following law that was already in place. The United States could learn from that. The normal suspects all condemned the action, Chavez, Castro, Hillary Clinton, and Obama. The birds of a feather certainly are flocking together on this one.

Of course these kind of actions do not fit in with those heavily involved in bringing about a "new world order". Nothing new about it. It is the same old song and dance that Nimrod used in building the tower of Babel, and all the one world government types from Nebuchadnezzar to Caesar, and now on to the current elite. Of course they are just paving the way for the beast to arrive on the scene. (see Revelation 13) Whether they know it or not, the world leaders are being influenced by the devil himself. What you will soon see happen is the world divided into 10 kingdoms, though probably not called that. Out of those will arise the man of sin, the son of perdition, the antichrist to step on to the world scene. He will join hands with the Roman Catholic Institution and force all to submit to him and the one world church.

You say you don't believe any of this, why don't you just open a Bible, King James, and start reading, it is rather clear in the scriptures to those who have an ear to hear.

- Monocogman

I can count

2009-06-20T07:46:00.000-07:00

When the census people come to my door, I will give them the count. All the other questions are too difficult for me. I went to public school. I read where they will ask you if you have food stamps. Well, we put stamps on our letters, we don't eat them. So I really don't understand why they would ask such a foolish question.

- Pete Falcon

Monocog update

2009-06-08T12:49:00.000-07:00

Well I think everyone is back in town, and probably will updating soon on the events of the recent past, if they are worth mentioning. Almost 3 weeks back I reported on the work being done on the Monocog. Well there is success to report, the Monocog had no trouble accepting the new BB and crank arms. Looks good, rides fine, and ready to hit the mountains again.

In fact even ready to race Pete Falcon on his SS. So if you are ready Pete, let me know.

All of us on break

2009-05-21T13:33:00.000-07:00

The whole crew is going to take a bit of break, going a number of different directions for awhile.
Monocogman is going to take his family east to family camp in Joplin.
Pete Falcon is off to Flagstaff to ride some of Arizona's best trails.
Pants Armstrong is busy training for some race he has next month, so decided to not be "bothered with the internet", his words.
George and Mildred Wilson are in their Mercury Grand Marquis taking a tour of the Rocky Mountain States of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and Idaho.

They should all be back here in 2-3 weeks.

Monocog is in the bicycle hospital

2009-05-13T15:28:00.000-07:00

OK men, just to let you know. Serious surgery will be performed on the Monocog soon.

No, don't pray, its only a bicycle. But the procedure would be the equivalent to open heart surgery on a person. Without this certain part, there would be no life for the bicycle. So while the Monocog is down, the Trek is providing valuable back up service.

I just thought you men that share this site with me would want to know why you have not seen the cog' out in the dirt.

- Monocogman

Mojave Preserve 110 mile death ride

2009-04-24T10:48:00.001-07:00

OK Monocogman and Pants Armstrong, it is time for the ride of rides. The 110 mile loop of the Mojave Preserve, referred to as the death ride. For if you don't judge your liquid requirements correctly, it could be disaster. No scheduled date as of right now, too many schedule issues, along with weather conditions. Though we do need to wait until it is over 90 in town as we will stay above 3000' all day, with a good deal of time above 4000' elevation. So May is the month for it.

So are you two in, or are you wimps?

- Pete Falcon

Motorcycles

2009-04-17T10:44:00.000-07:00

If it is not snow birds, then its loud obnoxious motorcycle riders. The annual Laughlin River Run is about to start. Thousands of motorcycle gang members, and gang member wannabes descend on the Colorado River Valley. It is an excuse for thousands of reprobates to be involved in drunkenness, lewdness, and excess. The majority dress in black because it is the color of their hearts. The outward generally shows the inside. The image is rebellion. A few are even so reprobate to dress as gang members and then put something about the Lord on the back of their jacket or vest.

It is one time of the year that I enjoy seeing the winds howl. A good sandstorm would be wonderful.

And one final word, just in case any of those riders found their way to this site .

Luke 13:3
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Acts 16:31
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Poetry

2009-04-08T08:33:00.000-07:00

Go home snow bird, go home
The sun is getting hot
We are weary of your lot
Go home snow bird, go home

Go home snow bird, go home
You are slow on the road
Your RV a big load
Go home snow bird, go home

Go home snow bird, go home
Don't come back next fall
You would not be missed at all
Go home snow bird, go home

- Pete Falcon

Lets clear up this broken tongue matter

2009-03-23T13:09:00.000-07:00

A lot of rumors are spreading concerning my broken tongue. I will finally break the silence and give my side of the story. As some of you know, George and I grew up in Ely, Minnesota. The area is just beautiful, and we still have many close friends from that part of the world. So back when I was just a crumb snatcher, I learned what many would say is a very unique vocabulary, limited to the iron range of Minnesota. Well when I was 23 years old, I promised my friend Gertrude that I would meet her at Stormin' Norman's grocery store to pick up some fresh buzzard for supper. (chicken for you non-iron rangers) Gertrude would be dropped off by her Dad, and I would give her ride back home. It was an average winter day, temps around -10 that afternoon, so a bit cool for a walk home carrying groceries. Well as I was backing out of the drive way, my back tire got caught in the plowed area of snow, and stuck I was. Well those were the days before cell phones, and no way to let my friend Gertrude know of my situation. I was stuck in good, and not getting out till my young husband George would be home from the mine. I felt so bad, unable to keep my word to my friend Gertrude. Up in the iron range, we call that breaking your tongue. But George made more out of that situation claiming I didn't know how to back out of the driveway through a little snow. But if he would have shoveled it out that morning before leaving for work there would not have been any trouble, and I never would have broke my tongue. For I have never broken it since. Thank you for listening to my side of the story.

-Mildred Wilson

I take issue with the CHP!

2009-03-12T12:23:00.000-07:00

Please take notice below of what I found attached to my car's antenna.
If you read this closely, it says that this vehicle was parked on the FREEWAY / HIGHWAY RIGHT-OF-WAY...

Well, Mr CHP officer, you found the vehicle on BLM land, in a dirt parking area. Yes it could be seen from the freeway, but certainly not on any right-of-way. And if you would have taken a peak inside the car, you might have surmised that someone was off on a bicyle ride, as there was a bicycle pump and cooler inside the vehicle. So next time, leave my car alone. But next time, I will park farther down the dirt trail inside BLM territory.

P.S.
Hey, Monocogman. You should have been there, some fast paced dirt riding.

-Pete Falcon

How I broke my tongue

2009-03-09T18:15:00.000-07:00

Many have been asking me how I broke my tongue. Well this is the true life story of Mildred Wilson. I want to tell my side of the story concerning the terrible incident of how I broke my tongue. Please bear with me as the memories of that terrible day continued to cause great anguish, and I am not sure how much of it I am going to be able to convey at one time.

Let me start with this.
It was a beautiful sunny day.

Oh, that is just too much for one time. Oh the memories that brings up. I will have to return to this another day.

Traction

2009-03-06T18:53:00.000-08:00

It is all about traction when out in the dirt. Recently I came across the following description concerning a mountain bike tire -
"GRIPS BETTER THAN A 3 WEEK STARVED BOA CONSTRICTOR IN A PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUND AT RECESS!!! I'M CONVINCED THAT THIS TIRE HAS LITTLE MAGNETS IN IT THAT PULL TOWARDS THE EARTH'S CORE."

There you go Pants Armstrong, you can't write anything like that concerning your road tires, so give it a shot, and come ride on the dirt with Pete and I, and join in the upcoming IBPMBR, or Independent Baptist Preachers Mountain Bike Race, for those who missed the announcement.

- Monocogman

Pants returns

2009-03-04T18:46:00.000-08:00

Yes, I am still around. Sorry to have my friends so worried. I have been doing a lot of training in the hills. New season of racing coming soon. And I do believe this would be the best place to announce our big race here in Bullhead City. Though I am not interested in this, I know Pete Falcon and Monocogman will be involved in it. (I don't ride off road) It is the Independent Baptist Preachers Mountain Bike Race, or IBPMBR for short. Some time in early May, just waiting for some preachers to sign up. So if you are a preacher, leave us some information in the comment section.
A few details concerning the race. The race starts at Monocogman's house, heads east towards Oatman. There you can get a good chocolate shake. Up over Sitgreaves pass into Golden Valley, get another chocolate shake at Sonic. Then southwest on the dirt over the ridge and come off the dirt across from the Industrial Park. Race ends there, ride across to In and Out Burger for a couple of double-doubles and another chocolate shake. Over one mile of elevation gain. Close to 100 miles of riding, though only 90 in the race, other 10 to In and Out and back to Monocogman's house. Any takers?

-Pants Armstrong

Surly Crosscheck

2009-02-27T18:57:00.000-08:00

Lets get this back to something profitable and off the silly recommendations of a 70 year old lousy driver. Today I took the Surly out on a major test ride after putting the Bontrager Jones 1.8 tires on it. Wow! I know that Pants Armstrong would never ride his Surly Crosscheck off road, but it handles almost as well as a mountain bike in the dirt. Tire pressure at 40 psi allowed the bike to roll over the rough stuff fairly comfortably, and still able to keep speeds in the 15-18 mph on the flats.

Hey Monocogman, why don't you graduate up to some bigger wheels and a bigger gear so you could keep up with me. And Pants, why don't you join me on the dirt some time.

- Pete Falcon

Safe Driving

2009-02-25T16:35:00.000-08:00

It has been brought to my attention that some think my driving skills are not quite up to par. I will say this, I have been driving for 52 years, and have not had one accident with a moving vehicle. I did once hit a moving deer, but that was all his fault, not mine. I have noticed every year the traffic continues to get worse. Other vehicles around me are going faster, honking more, and giving all sorts of dirty looks as they pass me.

Well, allow me to give some safe driving tips from my many years of safe driving.

1 The speed limit is the maximum allowed. Most of the time you ought to go at least 10 under, 15 under if you are in a new area.

2 Always get in the lane you expect to turn from at least 3 miles in advance. You don't want to surprise the drivers behind you with any quick movements. Don't worry about being called a "left laner, no brainer". I believe that is the term Pete Falcon came up with.

3 Accelerate very slowly. It is better for gas mileage, and keeps breakfast down better.

4 Join AARP!! They will lobby for seniors to drive until they are at least 95. I don't think driving skills diminish until well after 100 myself.

5 Honk at every bicyclist you see. They truly are an annoyance on the roads.

6 One last comment. I don't understand why anyone would drive anything but a Mercury Grand Marquis or a Buick Le Sabre. I do have some friends that are not as well off that drive a Ford Crown Victoria, and that is OK too.

Get ready for something unique. In fact I am not really sure what to call this. This group of contributors has been known to go off in various directions. I'm not really sure where it will start, and I definitely don't know where it will go. But let me say this, after reading their wonderful contributions on another blogger's cbox, I can say the team is not only entertaining, but they give some refreshingly candid thoughts concerning the more pertinent matters of this life. So sit back and wait for whoever will lead off and begin our travels into the lives of these five blogging amigos.

I set this up for my dear husband because I was tired of him and his friends taking over my c-box.

Check in once in a while -- the contributors are some really exciting middle-aged guys (and one guy's wife), leading really exciting lives here in the desert southwest. Find out how Pete Falcon, the blog's resident superhero, creamed his shin last fall. Poor Mildred Wilson broke her tongue -- don't miss her story. And be sure to hear George's list of pet peeves regarding other drivers. Pants Armstrong, well, he's just a different kind of guy. His idea of a thrill is to ride miles of pavement. Monocogman is the only Real Man on the team.
