white ourys, bad idea?

almost sig worthy

thanks everyone.

Originally I was just asking how quickly they get dirty, not whether or not they were a fashion faux pas. Next thing you know i’m being defensive about my interest in grips.

edit: thanks for the sig stormy.

good to know. between booze and tarck i pretty much can do whatever i want.

[quote=“TimArchy”]I think it should be understood that on this forum, you don’t ask stupid questions about style. We’re all tarck. Our bike style choices vary almost as much as our beard style choices.

We don’t ask about style, we just do it. Did the NYC messengers ask other people when they invented fixed gear bikes in the mid-70’s? Did trustfarians ask when they invented dreadlocks in the 90’s? I’ll tell you for sure that the first hipster that put a recalled spinergy on the front of their conversion didn’t ask (because we would have told them no).

So I’m officially codifying the already enforced rule of tarck coolness. If you have to ask, the answer is no. If you don’t ask, the answer will probably be no then as well, but we’ll give you less shit about it.

Remember, when you go to click the “New Topic” button, think to yourself, “What would Pengy ask?”

Thats how the ball rolls here. I started a post on BF once about how I made it home from a friend’s house faster than my GF who was driving. Within 20 posts I was frantically denying my participation in spousal abuse. I don’t even remember how it happened.

But I will say that I think I’ve learned more from posts that have gone off topic than those that stay on.
