Longing for a return to the days when my school's coach castrated a bull as a motivational display.

The friction from this sudden stop was enough that it I shit you not cut a circumferential hole in my right jeans leg when I rolled over. I lept to my feet in case any girls were watching and discovered that I had crashed hard enough to jorts myself. Fin.

The good news is that at that speed I was thrown well clear of the tumbling wreckage. The bad news is that it was at a three way intersection so instead of grass I hit asphalt. Thankfully was wearing jeans so I didn’t rip my leg to shreds when I dragged across 10 yards of it to a stop.

Did that patch, with no visible standing water, prove enough to completely kill the traction of the bike at an estimated 30+ MPH? You betcha.

So, a thing I didn’t think about is that even though the bike’s frame and drive were in magnificent condition, that didn’t meant the tires were. It had rained the day before and there was a very small slight damp patch left in the middle of the street.

The last hill down towards my dorm was like 150 yards or so at a roughly 15 degree grade, so if there weren’t any commuters clogging the street you could basically hear the “YOU GOT BOOST POWER” line from Star Wars Episode 1 Racer and it was on.

Though Mississippi is a flat state, MSU’s campus is fairly hilly with frequent changes in elevation, especially with some significant drops towards the south side of campus. So the return trip from o chem for me was a pretty fast one.

Sometimes, by some miracle, you would find one that had stood the test of time and it felt like you were flying when you did, as I was one April day.

The Bully Bikes were of acceptable but uninspiring construction, good enough when new but quickly rendered into fairly jank forms of transportation by tens of thousands of college students. Oftentimes they would be bent or broken, but still were faster than walking so still used.

Half of the International terminal was boarded up with construction when I was there and even then it was still super easy to navigate.

If that guy had gotten cold feet at the last moment and left the airport someone could’ve gotten sick off the same drop off line bench he used 12 hours later!

I mean it! I have a signed copy from Lemuria in Jackson, and it is one of my most treasured things on the shelf. Definitely the single best thing I read in 2023, and that’s some stiff competition.

It’s impossible to state how contagious measles is without sounding like you’re exaggerating.

The reason I think Kiffin will leave is that the Egg Bowl itself will warp reality to make him. The fight for second to last place in the West must be restored.

Anyway, Wiseacre’s Gotta Get Up to Get Down (coffee milk stout, but much more drinkable than you’re thinking), Memphis Made’s Fireside (amber), High Cotton’s Scotch Ale are all in pretty good statewide distro, and a couple of different places have a really good Irish stout.

Huh. I had no clue it was still so bad out there, that sounds like how it was at the height of this nonsense. It’s been way more diverse in recent years in the places I’m used to.

I’m almost certain there’s nowhere you won’t at least have a regional to fill the gap even if all you have in your town itself is some dude named Daryl who spends all his time in the lab coming up with new adjectives to put in front of IPA.
