Bunch of wusses...

[Alan]

Today's ride in the pissing rain only had 3 of us; 4 if you count Paul, who is marginally less a wuss than the rest of youse, because after proving that he could show up at Oak Bay High, he rode straight to coffee.
And speaking of proper punctuation and eating animal flesh....

Alan,

Feeling terrible for letting you down. Packing a Christmas hamper for you. Would you like “kisses” or “hugs”?

Alan, respectfully, if you are going to crow about getting out in the rain and lord it over the rest of us, you should at least have made some effort to do the normal Tuesday ride:

According to the bible- I mean strava- you didnt do any laps of the box or Beacon Hill.
Basically you just commuted to coffee in the rain.

"Wuss" indeed

(Admittedly Tripleshot is all about the coffee:))

Ann and I made it out! Went for coffee and no one was there...

Processed unicorn is the sparkliest; I think they must blend it with a little leprechaun. (Semicolons FTW!)

As for the weather, it's probably best to get some wet rides in pronto before the Xmas deep freeze settles in...

Alan, there's really too much material here to give proper attention to, but you've conjured my fondness for both proper punctuation and unicorns in a single post so I can't resist weighing in...

First - if your primary lesson on semicolon usage is that it's to be used as a comma for grown-up sentences, I fear you are missing out on all this little guy can offer. I'm not going to launch into a diatribe on the power and elegance of the semicolon but I'm feeling a little squirmy about its use as a fancier Oxford comma (mostly because the Oxford comma is clunky and outdated). There must be a more elegant solution...

Second - unicorns are magical and dear to my heart - as is meat - but I'm afraid the sparkles in the unicorn flesh would get caught in my teeth. Besides, they're way too pretty to slaughter. I'll stick with good ol' beef burgers, thanks.

You do get credit for riding this morning, though. If I had only to roll my bike 1.2km down the road to get to the start, I would have been there too. How far did you get before making like Paul C. and taking shelter somewhere coffee-scented?
