That'll be me, so that's how you reformed, by bribing and intimidating dissent!

 

I reformed? When did that happen?

Some time between being threatened to be voted off the island in Feb 2009 to being a moderating god on your own fred...

[Guest Omega Man]

I have it. OMG. Hero's. Road racers make all other sports seem tame. To be fair. road racing isn't actually a sport. In the words of my mate Karl.

 

If you make a mistake in a sport you have a reasonable chance of walking away from it. Those people are gladiators.

Not sure the guys wanted to share, but also in the days when phones were phones and had no intergrated 12 mega pixel camera. Became a legend of the early epics, was even quoted in Ride magazine in their review of the 2005 Epic, we had huge fun with the Ride team of Adele Tait and Martin Droske. Martin was told he was riding the Epic 3 weeks before the race to see if was really as tough as everyone made out. It wasn't.

It was petatodd.

 

in the interests of fairness, it should go to the person who posted the first post AFTER the 15,000 mark. Me.

And seeing that it was me who caused the 15000th post to be posted, the present should go to me.

no the prezzie should go to the one who wished the thread 1 year happy birthday.

Fockin penguins:

 

The text has been republished to reveal Levick’s detailed observations of the Adélie penguins’ sexual habits, which included auto-erotic behavior, homosexual interactions, coerced sex (including with chicks and injured birds), and necrophilia:

Strewn about all Antarctic rookeries are the dead bodies of many hundreds of penguins, from the adult to the newly-hatched chick, which have succumbed for various reasons during previous years. Owing to the low temperature prevailing, these bodies are preserved in good condition for a long time…When the season was already a month advanced, I saw a cock engaged in the sexual act upon the dead body of a white-throated Adélie of the previous year. This took somewhat over a minute, the position taken up by the cock differing in no way from that of normal copulation, and the whole act was gone through, down to the final depression of the cloaca and emission of semen…Later on, this sight was by no means uncommon.

Although he adopted an objective tone in his paper, Levick’s personal notes evince disgust. “There seems to be no crime too low for these Penguins,” Levick wrote, and this attitude perhaps explains why he made no attempt to interpret the penguins’ sexual behavior. Modern zoologists, however, have investigated why males would copulate when there was obviously no chance of reproduction. They suggest that the male urge to mate could be triggered when another bird’s position mimics that of a receptive female, a submissive pose with half-lidded eyes. In fact, researchers discovered that males would get down with just about any bird that assumed this mating position, whether it was an eligible female, a male, a chick, or even a rock attached to a frozen penguin head.

 

Seriously? WTF?
