there are so many threads that tell you to unicycle for Christ,
Paganism, and tons of other religions/religious elements. why not just
unicycle for the sake of a good time?

Isn't that like saying "I'm on a diet, but I eat whatever I want when I
wan't, and don't exercise?"


The point of this thread is to stop dragging religion, opinion, etc.
into unicycling, and just unicycle.

I have no problem with religious debate or conversation, or any of that
stuff, but let's keep one out of the other.

Yo - I believe it was "chirst", and that was the other thread.

I unicycle because it is a moving meditation that reminds me, in a deep
kinesthetic way, that life is a balancing act. I try to take that
lesson with me wherever I go.

why not just unicycle for the sake of unicycling...when you land your
first unispin...is it cuz god propelled the uni a little faster, made
you jump a little higher or gave you the confidence...or will it be
because you dedicated time and effort into the trick?

unicyling for anypurpose other than sport or fun is as unseful as this
(thanks goes to "into the blue" for the reference)

Yeah, let Christ do his own damn unicycling. Doesn't need any help
from us. It's rumoured that the guy can unicycle on water.

I unicycle for fun. No other reason - except the fitness benefits, the
image... but yes, just for fun.

I also read and think for fun and personal improvement, and discuss
philosophy and religion and related matters for fun and personal
improvement.

The unicycling I discuss in RSU. the other I discuss in JC. Problem?

Are you an addict too?
What is about the prospect of really hurting yourself and then not, so

I think addiction/obsession is one of the hazards of unicycling,
especially for those of us who are not so young as the others of us. It
takes so long to learn (speaking for myself) that you either become
addicted or wimp out.

Yeah, what's the deal?

I -wish- I could unicycle for fun. I've become obsessed. It is the
curse that drives me. It is the persistant thorn in my side. It is the
cross I must bear (REALLY sorry about the religious reference here).
THIS IS FUN?? Arrrrgh. Why do you torment me so, oh unicycle? Why,
why? Must ride. :p ;)

Actually to be fair it's one of the most moronic things ever invented
by humans... that is if you're looking at it from the point of view of
inventions progressing based on technololgical efficiency and the best
means of solving a problem.

Also for the record, it's not an invention, but rather something that
arose from the malfunction of an existing invention.

but it's fun anyways. :)

Hi Cathy

Never tried flying ? Or skydiving / paragliding / cliff-diving /
fairground rides / falling out of a tree ...?

I take the homo-centric view on the existence of a higher "authority",
as expressed by Voltaire - God/Allah/Vishnu/The Soup Dragon was
invented by humanity for a valid reason, not because He/She/It exists,
but because He/She/It was needed at the time -

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
Voltaire 1694-1778: Épîtres (1769)

... or to paraphrase:
If unicycles did not exist, it would be necessary to invent them.

Have fun, see you in Scarborough.
Chris

Thank you for the link samia, I'm still a little :confused: It's gotta
be some sort of bunny abuse. Or is it like when you balance a choc drop
on a dogs nose, and it's only allowed to eat it when you say so? Now
that would be a picture, the bunny downing the pancakes in one. :)

Rugby match ads in SW France could be fun: we've got towns named Seix,
Condom, and Lombez (you've got to know french for the latest one) Seix
is too small to make the headlines(Auch does) but the other two have
pretty good teams. (in fact the last one teamed with a near-by town so
the official name of the team is "Lombez-Samatan" -which is even more
funny : roughly means "there is ***** around- that is waiting for me"-)
