depressing thoughts only get you so far

Hopefully they spur you to action and acting in a positive direction.

Sometimes ya just need a good palate cleanser.

And what better place to get that than the catching up on the new words documented by the folks at wordspy.com.

Scrolling through, some cool, some 'meh' but i stopped when i found this entry:

fixie

Yes. The derisive aim of most of BSNYC's humor is targeted at the crowd of 'fixie' folks. and Fixie has landed an entry along side metrosexual and other culturally 'created' terms of legitimate labels.

Pretty funny.

But the cake is taken with BSNYC pointing out (via email) the major flaw in the definition.
A fixed-wheel bicycle that has only a single gear since the pedals are chained directly to the rear wheel
That would probably cost you a few spokes...

I should always leave the one liners to the real writers like him.
