WANTED: full pink kit
Due to the improved weather where I live in the mountains of NC and
increased frequency of my bike commuting to work, more than a few of my colleagues have seen me in my cycling gear and I've received a bit of good-natured ribbing about my spandex, bright jerseys, etc. Well, this afternoon, some co-workers got hold of my Blackberry and sent a joke email (which appeared to come from me) asking if anyone knew of suppliers for hot pink cycling shorts. I followed up (all in good fun) with an educational cycling email about Alberto Contador, the Maglia Rosa, the Tour of Italy, etc. We all got some good laughs as the pink/spandex/cycling-themed emails proceeded to be sent around the office all afternoon. At some point, even the Vice President of my division emailed from wherever he is on VACATION and said that from now on, I'm to be known as "Pink." Sorta remined me of the Seineld episode where George wanted to be known as T- Bone and ended up as "Koko." Anyhow, I presume there is some additional humor attached to this because I am a heterosexual male. In order to get the last laugh, I REALLLY want to find a FULL PINK KIT that I could either borrow for the purpose of show only (and return completely clean, of course) or buy very cheaply. Little help from anyone out there? |

Got the caucasian part covered -- that's about where I'd have to draw the line. Creative idea, though |

Of course with "puce" you could readily change the 'c' to a 'k' and get the same effect. I guess I just hate all the colours which appear on anatomical diagrams, especially those which indicate the blood circulation system. Makes me almost wanna faint. Y'know what? Women seem to be immune to all that biological stuff that sends us guys runnin' & screamin' away from it. Women are pretty tough. 'Specially mothers of kids who get direly sick in the middle of the night and practically puke their o-rings out. Anybody who stands by you when you're puking your o-ring out, and then makes a pot of weak(ish) tea for you is definitely an ally. Anyways, anatomical diagram colours are never good. Horticultural colours are always good. Maybe the colour of chlorophyll makes succulent plants feel queasy? I hope I spelled "chlorophyll" correctly. OTOH, I don't particularly care ;-) cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me. I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |

We hetero males must strive to regain our rightful claim to it. Back in the '50s we almost did, with pink Cadillacs. 'Specially ones with white ragtops & blue taillights. Just so all the other dudes know, I officially reclaimed pink back in early 2007 after my wrist surgery: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/131/3...e85dbfe5ea.jpg My mom didn't like it. \\paul -- Paul M.

Bill "Ko, ko, Ko, ko" S.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Bill, Yeah, I've actually found a piece or two -- just nothing that I can afford to buy for somewhat of a gag. I mean, I would pass on whatever I got to my lovely wife (she looks better in pink than me anyhow), but a new $200 kit isn't in the cards for the family budget at the moment. Actually, via another post, I've got a guy who's promised a pink Performance jersey -- now I need the shorts and I'm golden... errr... golden, but with a pinkish hue. Definitely not puce. |
