brain bucket


The guy rang up my fullface helmet and said "I'm sure your little boy will be very safe with this."
"I'm sure he would be," I replied "if I had a little boy. But it's actually for me."
This puzzled the guy. "You sure you want a fullface helmet?"
So I explained that I was going to be doing some downhill stuff and I wanted to try to do some jumping maybe, and I just thought it might be safer. I could have predicted the next part. "You're doing downhill?! Whoa. That's SICK!"



Next time I'll just say that I fall down a lot.

tell them you need it to go grocery shopping

I'm sure if these guys who are in total awe of you were cute, you'd come to the bike shop as often as you could to get 2 of everything (not that you don't already have 2 or more of everything). Isn't it so great to have lots of adoring male fans?!

I should have said I was going to use it to pot petunias. :)

I don't want adoring male fans. I want to be able to go downhill very fast without embarrassing myself. AFTER I do the downhill race, then they can adore me. Pre adoration makes me nervous.

haha very funny,

actually I bump into so many walls and hard objects that I should probably walk around with one of those on at all times...

maybe we can start a new fashion?

it'd be heavy though, and i'd probably get headaches from wearing it
