There was one time, long ago, in Dinkytown (see? Minnesotan) that a superdude was really biking fast ON THE SIDEWALK (pet peeve! forgot about that one) and clipped us as he rode by. We eye-lazered hatred towards him, and a block later he endo-ed over the roof of a car (he had gone through a stop and the car never saw him. We correctly surmised that we had one-time Carrie powers. He was alright, but his bike was crushed. Instant Karma indeed!

Yeah - but "keep to the right if you're slow" is a pretty standard tradition. (on bike paths, escalators, and airport walkways!) Lots of walkers in groups hog the whole path, as they should - nobody expects people to walk in a single file. Thus a "ding! ding!" to signal "coming through!" Gogo thought it was funny.

Always double tap. Never had a problem. Welllll... That would be Minnesota, but thanks for the attempted cultural snobbery.

Fuck the personable issue, I'm just trying to get them to move aside. In my experience "On your left" makes people step to the left more often than not. The bell startles them, they turn around, and then they get out of the way. The bell I have is loud as hell, and carries a lot further than shouting "on your left!"

I like using my instead. Two rings! Well in advance. If I don't get a reaction, I do it again, closer by.

Very flattering review on cnn.com

Like "No means No, Larry Craig!"? P.U. That joke was WAY past its freshness date... Arte Johnson should fall over on his trike now.

The one where he's getting the boyfriend bomb at the Holiday Inn Swingers Convention.

I vote for ANY unsolicited advice as a pet peeve.

For me? Easy. For you? Dee-fee-colt! S'ok? S'alright.

So, if you're not hitting on her, you're just making small talk? Isn't small-talk a passive-aggressive way of flirting?

1: Who asks a stranger "Hey, how is it going?"? 2: A female trying to get rid of you in that situation is probably the best response she should give to a stranger. 3: In a lot of cultures, it's offensive for a stranger to walk up and start a conversation without being introduced by a familiar. 4: If a stranger comes up to me to talk, they're either asking for money or directions. I'll give the latter. For women, it's fair to assume that if you're not asking for either, you're going to be hitting them up. Unless you're George Clooney, it's probably safe to assume it's unwelcomed.

Yeah - the follow-up e-mail is just standard CYA policy. I rarely remember if someone asks me to do something out of the blue, so I tell them to write me an e-mail. It's a nice receipt.

All Whistling? Like "In the Hall of the Mountain King" whistling? or va-va-va-voom whistling?

Aren't they just asking you if you need anything? I hate (and this is a recent phenomenon - like in the last ten years) when they ask "How is everything tasting?" How am I supposed to answer? Sweet? Salty? I used to wait tables, and I would never ask that, nor have I ever been trained to ask that. But now I hear it all the time, and I wonder WTF?

Currently, it's Wings v Canucks. Canucks are the only western playoff team with a losing road record, and their defense is banged up. I'd rather see the Wings play the Canucks than the Coyotes. Amazingly, this will be the first time in Lidstrom's 18-year career that he's opened the playoffs on the road.

I hate when I don't get a wave for coasting and giving someone more room to get in my lane, even though it's like 99% of the time. I never get a wave. Also - I hate it when people speed up to block you from entering their lane.

Mine's in the shop. Really looking forward to getting it back on Friday. I need a nice road bike because I want to do a Century ride one of these years...

and... The western teams are set. Now they just have to determine the seeding. Nice job Colorado. 3rd worst team last year. Remarkable turnaround. Not to mention Phoenix. Perenially shitty teams like Toronto should take note.

My top 5 that I would actually order: 5. McMolletes 4. CroqueMcDo 3. Banana Pie 2. CBO 1. Bubur Ayam Worst - the breakfast hotdog, or the Sausage and Egg Twisty Pasta.

Hey, me too! Cheers!

I really hope the Avs can hold onto the 8th spot. They've been a really nice surprise success story this year. They've been faltering lately, but hopefully they can hang on. Screw Calgary and screw the Sutters!

I'm going to celebrate by listening to my favorite Easter Rock tune: Roll Away the Stone by Mott the Hoople.

Seinfeld hasn't aged well at all. Any show that relies on a laugh-track (or any other simulated audience response) is automatically disqualified from being considered the best ever. Still waiting to start up on Lost. Got bored with Deadwood midway through the first season.

Glove hand. Weak. He's been flaky since putting on the gold medal. Strange that they didn't pull him before giving up 8.
