“I’ve found my soulmate. He’s witty, smart, well-read (but sometimes a poor speller), intellectual, popular with guys and girls, currently employed by a well known company, and only mildly medicated. I’ve never met him and only know him from a triathalete forum that I visited one day when you left the computer on. But I know from now on, it is just him for me. And he’s getting a P3.”
Folks, please help me find the bastard. I’m gonna stalk his house and steal that P3 when he gets it and win my girl back. No way his grass any greener than mine.
I think that t-t-n’s advice from the other green grass thread applies here as well:
"if you are a grown man, and suddenly find yourself using nauseatingly insipid terms such as “found my soulmate” find one of your buddies and have him slap some fucking sense into your head with say, a 2x4. failing that, instruct him to run you over with your own pickup truck so you can stop embarrassing yourself. "
I thought I knew who it was until I read that last sentence. Then I thought, “the guy I’m thinking of is supposed to get a P3, but I’m not sure it’s ever going to happen.”
As the Tibb’s Lavender Room was created to move the political exchanges off the main Triathlon Forum, I propose that the yobbo Pink Palace be created to move the interpersonal relationship and dating service threads off the main Triathlon Forum.
Had this Palace existed when you left your computer, had you goneback to the main forum, you would have been spared losing your GF.
I’d much rather have a P3. In fact I have a P3, and no girlfriend. I also have peace.
-A P3 is a lot less expensive than a girlfriend.
-A P3 doesn’t arbitrarily change plans at the last minute, change their mind arbitrarily and justify it with their gender, but then plead “equality” on all other (convenient) matters.
-A P3 can be ridden for hours without complaint, unlike a girlfriend.
-P3’s don’t cheat on you.
-P3’s don’t show up in the middle of a three year “relationship” with an STD you never had or have. Hmmm.
-P3’s are utterly maintenance free compared to a girlfriend.
-They weigh about 110 pounds less.
-They don;t talk in the car incessantly.
-They don’t have a cell phone glued to their ear.
-They don’t have families or obnoxious, ignorant friends you have to pretend to like.
-Unlike a girlfriend, you can tell your P3 the truth about everything.
-P3’s never ask “Where is this going?” (Where do relationships “go” anyway when they go?)
Dude, did that shit really all happen to you? No wonder you are single.
Hey, me too and I have a P3 on the way.
Showed up with a random case of the herp? Man, that sucks. Some lesser folks could read this post and think that you were bitter. I, on the other hand, feel your pain. Not while on the bike, though. Cervelo makes a smooth product for sure.
"would you single guys rather have a P3 or a girlfriend? "
I keep telling you guys you are looking in the wrong place for your women, and then maybe not treating them right.
You will recall that I was getting ready to order aP3 SL and trying to decide how to spec it, when I said to myself "hey, maybe I should just wait for the P3 Carbon?" But, not sure the P3 Carbon will really be ready for next season; so, in order to get permission for either (as opposed to asking for forgiveness), I decide to run the whole issue by my wife. Her response, no joking, is "you do so much for us all the time, why don't you just get **<u>both</u>**! I about fell over. But, now that I'm up, I do wonder -should I really get both since I now have permission!? BTW, I put the deposit down on the P3 C.
The good karma always comes back - lucky for me it is a bike :-)!
That’s easy.
You buy and build up the P3SL, you do your base training and early riding on it.
Then when Gerard finally delivers your P3C, you take the P3sl apart, put it in a box, and then Fed-Ex it to my hole in the wall world.
I’ll even pay shipping.
(By the way, I’d expect that your wife will now be making a huge request of/from you in 3-6 monthes.)
Tom my son its just as well the fairer sex do not frequent this forum in significant numbers otherwise you will be on the end of some serious shtick from the chicks!
p/s I would take the P3 as well since I got a wife and really dont have enough energy to have a GF as well!
You know that I didn’t write that, don’t you? I’m just very handy with the cut and paste.
re: Cervelos vs. Significant others – Here is my (female) perspective. I wouldn’t leave a guy for a bike, though I did dump my last boyfriend the day after I bought a Merlin. I’m not sure if the two events are related, but I am still having some trouble getting the chain lube out of my bedsheets. I would, however, my very attracted to a guy if he showed up at my house for a date and, instead of flowers, showed up with a new Santa Cruz Blur.
