chip, you should put this under the geek thread. :)

(never seen it, i'll rent it now after your compelling story)

Good luck finding it at any video store - I had no idea it was even on DVD - but it is easy to tell it was a copy from some tape someplace.

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

I got my copy about a year ago off of ebay (new) for about $15 CDN delivered. I also got breaking away off of ebay around the same time. Both great classics, and I've since seen both in the discount bin at Walmart.

Boooooring.

I was waiting for another classic Record10carbon tale.

So this guy started talking trash to the hot young cashier chick because she wouldn't take his check, so what does a guy do? I picked up a copy of National Enquirer and beat him senseless with it until he apologized and promised to nicer to ladies and small furry animals.

I got her number and later that evening when she got off work I picked her up in my cool sexy sportscar and we did the whoopdedoo all night long until I had to kick her out of my love shack to go do a 300 mile ride.

I have seen this movie at least a dozen times - before I was into cycling.

This does belong in the geek thread and so do I.


BTW - Shaving your legs in the steam room at the Y is really gross. Aren't you the one always complaing about hygine issues?

You missed the part where he shaves his legs in the steam room at the Y. "Bubba who was just released from San Quentin was also there...(take it from here)..."

I thought his name was "Ben Dover"

Do other people shave their legs in the steamroom? This seems a bit strang to me.

Yes

I've seen it quite a few times myself and the really weird thing is I'm pretty sure I got my copy on DVD at the grocery store as well for like $5. Haven't seen Breaking Away on DVD yet but will look for it now. Always fun to watch and look at the landmarks in Bloomington. (IU grad)

Well, I was in* the movie and I only saw the whole thing once. Its a horrible movie. When it comes on TV, I call the kids in to show them I was in a movie.

*Um, OK - I was in the crowd at the Morgul-Bismark race. Still, it is a horrible movie.

never heard of it, actually!

The better movie from that time-frame was Breaking Away!

I have them both and they are both great movies with flaws in the cycling aspects. I even have the soundtrack on my iPod to American Flyers!

A timeless classic. I've seen it probably 20+ times, although it's been awhile. "Where's the other one? Where's Sommers? You SOB, Marcus, I taught you that move!." "We've got us a race, Muzzen!" Thanks for the affirmation that there's others like me out there.

No way - there are no boob shots in Breaking Away.

WTF? Shaving your legs in the steam room? Is this a group room, a common area, like a steam room where several/dozen people at a time can sit in a hot, quiet, steamy room?

If so - and you were in the steam room at my gym, I'd bitch up a storm about some homo shaving his legs in the steam room. Talk about unsanitary!

I really hope this is something totally different.

Its ok...the guy in there before him probably rubbed one off.

Avoid the steam room.

A friend of mine lent me that DVD in the fall. In a semi-sarcastic but semi-motivational way he said that if I watch the movie before a race, I'd probably win. I watched it the night before my last adventure race. We won. Seriously.

Don't knock American Flyers.

P.S. Don't shave in the steam room, that's f'ing disgusting.

P.P.S. "How could you be dying, you've got a mustache and everything!"

Yes, I shave my legs in the mens steam room. Often I will also shave the backs and chests of body builders as well. What I do is lather up really thick with the provided Barbasol shave cream, at least 2" thick tingling the skin and softening the forest of leg hair I intend to remove. I shave in the steam room and flick the spent shave cream at the walls and other members of the YMCA. We giggle and frollic in the steam room and wrestle in a playful way- listening to the "Thriller" album that is always on random play in the mens locker room. Sometimes when the powdered soap is empty will play little games like "oops, I dropped my razor" and have a nice time bending over to pickup the fallen blade in full naked glory...the other day there was a blood pressure and prostate exam center setup in the shower / whirlpool area that we had just a splendid time participating in (yes, your blood pressure goes up as they prod your prostate).

I just love the YMCA.

I do agree, it is gross... but at least this dude posts some pretty entertaining tales.

I can only read about heart rates, max vo2 and watts so many times!

Which one is you?
