I wanted to share so you could all get a good laugh. These are all from websites erwfgfer.com and egrggrgrg.com. Clearly classy websites.

“A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing”

“I discovered I scream the same way whether I’m about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot”

“A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory”

“Women may not hit harder, but they hit lower”

“A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question”

“some really wondrous work on behalf of the owner of this site, perfectly outstanding subject matter.”

“A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing”

“Teacher, Sue, what are you drawing? Sue, I’m drawing God”

“Laugh at your problems, everybody else does”

“If God is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining”

“We live in a society where pizza gets to your house before the police”

“To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism”

…and my personal favorite:

“Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity”

You can’t pay for stuff this good. It’s like a fortune cookie writer was let loose on Bike Skirt.

Anyone else get some good spam on their websites? Do share!

PieLab, an initiative of Project M, is focused on community development and engagement in Hale County, AL.

PieLab is a welcoming community space on Greensboro’s Main Street that provides delicious pie and coffee, as well as retail and hospitality job training for local youth through the YouthBuild Program. More than simply a pie shop, PieLab operates as a community design center focusing on community development projects and small business incubation in Greensboro and the surrounding five counties.

I walked in and noticed one thing: BIKES! They were all over the place. After talking a bit, they mentioned that they wanted to start a bike collective and needed some help. hurrah! We exchanged cards and ideas, ate some killer pie, visited a bit and then set out.

Dirt walls!

For the next hour we drove through Hale County to see the Rural Studio projects. It was inspiring, to say the least. Oh, did I mention that our tour guides were one past and one present Rural Studio students? Yeah, that was awesome.

After the car tour, we parked back at Pie Lab and 3 of us took our bikes and toured the buildings in Greensboro. It was a blast, seeing the inspiration and work of hope-filled, talented folks. If ever in Alabama, I highly suggest you check both out. A sweet, inspiring day spent with new and old friends. A good day.

For the full set of photos, check it out here. Thanks to everyone at Pie Lab, Rural Studio and the awesome folks we let me tag along!

A bit of background: I have about 4-5 people with whom I am constantly talking about music. CJ is one of them. She and I bonded over lyrics to a song that described boys and breakups that we felt were written just for us (no, I am not telling which one). We email back and forth daily about playlists, songs, lyrics and bands that we are discovering.

ANYWAY, check out her new blog Birmingham Box Set. Chock full of interviews, lists, reviews and fun music information.

And tell her that she needs to come to the Valentines Day event!

In other local news, come out to support our Brocycle brothers Sonday Knight Sprints this Sunday. The Bikeskirt girls will be there cheering them on (maybe Anna will compete!)
