What kind? I suggest a Boston for hanging.
I'm new here too. Seems like there's a lot of bickering...

Boston is an interesting choice. I was also considering a tuberous.
Hey, check out the election thread. These fuckweasels may have a sense of humor.
We just moved from a new country. Can we say fuckweasel here?

If you are going to start off a thread with such a presumptuous and grandiose name as FID II... you may need to do the thread welcome spiel early on.
However... I'm not sure we should rush that one atm.

Nah...you misunderstood me... this is fine... I was just thinking aloud on whether we should describe the thread at the start...or just roll with it at first. Since the OP is already there ... it's a moot point.
One thing that is a bit annoying... is that when you quote a post...it includes all the other quoted posts that it derived from. Makes it a tad confusing... but not as confusing as that triathlon forum was.

Sweet. A place for all the CF refugees to check in.
Aside from being part of the cyclingforums diaspora, about a week ago I was banned from RBR. I was also banned from DPF. Right now I am 1 for 3 when it comes to surviving cycling related forums. Hopefully I can improve my track record here.

cyclingforums.com. We haven't been booted, but the admin has gone missing, and the site is running on auto-pilot. Parts of the software are broken, and no new members have been able to post since shortly after the first of the year. End result is that the forum has withered away.
We have been looking for alternative that is not over-moderated and has a nice mix of nationalities.

You can get away with almost anything on this forum so long as you don't suggest that great performances can be achieved without the use of drugs.
If you even hint at this, there'll be a posse on your doorstep in the middle of the night to inject EPO and HGH where the sun doesn't shine.
Don't even think about what might happen to you if you make a substantiated allegation. Unsubstantiated claims, speculation, rumour and innuendo are the only subjects of true believers in these parts.

Welcome, all. The term fuckweasel has probably been used here before, along with a few other choice phrases and terms. Sometimes it pisses people off, but we are pretty much self-moderated here.

Why would anyone use such a silly word? What does it add to anything at all, especially since no one other than three Americans might know what it means. Other than someone who fucks a weasel, which is quite silly really. I mean, how does it relate to a nurd or a "con" (French) or wurfle or a pillock. If I said they are a bunch of pillocks, what does this add to your understanding? This is, after all, a cycling forum, not a linguistic study session. I think a little respect is in order especially from people who just joined.

Silly words are fun, as opposed to fucking a weasel which is either decidedly not fun, or extremely messy if you pull out their teeth and claws first. - I hear.

Whether yer gunna live, or whether yer gunna die.
If yer gunna live, you've nowt to worry about.
If yer gunna die, you've still two things to worry about.
That's whether yer going to go to heaven, or whether yer going to go to hell.

Hehe, the man has always been able to rattle the prole's cage in order to ring-fence their profit margins - same thing happened here with Cromwell. The trick is to get the proles to be proud of it despite the benefits of 20/20 hindsight.

Yep, that's Fuckweasel. It refers to ChrisH over at DP who deserves any public lashing he receives be it verbal or with whips and chains...in fact, you throw in a bucket of warm excrement and a video camera, and you would have a huge money maker....I mean, I wouldn't watch something so unrefined, but I hear there are people who collect stuff like that.

Just make sure you keep your room tidy and wash up after yourself. The wine in the fridge is Huw's and the olives belong to Kathy - I wouldn't go in the chiller compartment if I were you. Smoking is in the designated area on the veranda under the Let Levi Cry poster. The boonen is under the stairs for dry spills and for wet spills, the schlek is in the pantry.
Please enjoy your stay.

I don't even know how it got started...something came up just by the by about ferns...and then when an argument got going, sometimes someone would just throw that fern pic in there to lighten it up...The Fern of Peace...

No worries...since I'm new I'll just tell you that I take very little seriously...on the internet, that is. This is my preferred slacker entertainment.
And constant rain would drive me mad, to the point of screaming "fuckweasel" in a crowded thread, or "bunch of pillocks!!" or something...LOL. I don't know what that means, but I bet it's pretty damn silly. So look out. I just might say it sometime...

It started one day on CF when a poster there, Thunder, was complaining about a thread he posted being hijacked off topic. He threw out an in jest threat, and I threatened him, in jest "I'll come over there and hang a fucking fern in the thread if you aren't careful." Then I went and found a hanging fern and hung it in his thread. Then it developed a life of its own.
A couple of weeks later, Jeff Vader posted on slowtwitch that he was thinking about putting some ferns in his work-out space. That thread developed into something beyond explanation. There were some posts regarding secret NSA emails, and a gay nazi. It was the wild west for a couple of days.

But now you need to go study them in depth to get a full appreciation of the hardships faced by the average fern not only in today's globally warming climate... but also by the unempathetic artificial fern-buying public. And learn about the cruel fern puppy mills that have sprung up like a cancer across the US especially. It's sad.

I think "back atcha" is a US coloquialism. Australian slang would have something to do with a waloby or perhaps Cadel Evans..

Not directly... but I can send a PM. Lim was open to a move last time we brought it up... which was reassuring considering his mod status. Helmut only checks in very spasmodically now due to his new job. I'll send them a PM. But I feel like I've written about 100 posts over the last few days explaining the move... it's hard to muster up the energy to do it all again. Maybe just a heads-up PM and refer to a "Moving On" thread.

I think "back atcha" is a US coloquialism. Australian slang would have something to do with a waloby or perhaps Cadel Evans.. |
Yeah your right... I think I took the wrong meaning because I still have penal insecurities...

Good to see you got the message and made it. We're trying to make our escape as complicated as possible so some of the CF detritus find it hard to track us down...

It'll sort it's-self out. The board was created by fugees from the BBC website and they took in a load of us who were wandering the net after the Eurosport board went tits-up.
Like that speaking statue in New York harbour says;
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me"

Just so ya know Chewy, to put the level of humor in perspective, I occasionally share funny posts with my witty hubby. He's a tough sell though, since these are cycling forums.
Well, I just shared this one with him and he said "now that's f'n funny!

Do you think jdog will open an account here? He didn't move that last time we trialed the BABE thread. I feel we (and especially C) won't be happy without our daily jdog laughs....

Well, that's not always true . . . when I leave on vacations or out of town for extended periods for work or whatever, I don't usually bother.

I lived in Nashville for a couple of years. It really irritated me when managers would say it in meetings but I took it away with me when I left. Go figure. It does come in handy at times. And no, I cannot sing.

I'm off to bed. Getting wankered on absinthe is no kind of preparation for finding out the commonwealth is crumbling, I can't believe it - you'll be telling me there are machines that can carry men through the sky next.

If I make my opinion public, I'm sure he'll do the exact opposite to prove me wrong . . . BUT . . .
The way I have it figured, j won't even bother himself unless or until CF is no more . . . then, I would think he might head on over one day when he's bored and looking for laughs or sparring in jest . . . just a guess though.

I do indeed think that was funny, just running with the joke

We need to make sure we get Jeff Vader to come as well. That guy is comedy gold.

We also need some Salukis, AD9898, No Positives and that guy that carries a gun on training rides. Oh...we need Alientator. The indiginous folk are too similar in opinion to us. We need some foils.
I don't think Vader will show up. Last I saw he was hanging out on some Cricket forum. He is retired from cycling.

Come now, Mr Malkmus, we're having international conflicts sorted out by tea and cake. This is progress. If only they'd stuffed Adolf full of Linzertorte he might have been too content to get angry about the other stuff in his head.
(Actually, on second thoughts, they tried that with Goering and it didn't work.)
