    Biking

    I live in Tennessee and I am considering biking to the pomme de terre. Is this at all feasible? If so, how long do you thing it would take. I plan on riding in full electric epee apparel. Has anyone ever peddled to a tournament of any great distance?

    Have you ever posted a serious thread in which your intention was not just to get attention?

    Don't ask dumb questions.

    Ever heard of satire? Even I wouldnt bike to the pomme de terre. It was a joke. If it was for real, It wouldnt be in the watercooler.

    It would be satire if it was funny or made a point. In this case, it does neither, and is not.

    Actually, there's an abandoned traintrack called the 'underground railroad' I once heard of that runs uninterrupted, straight up north to Canada, if you can work your way up northwards and reach the north pole, by pedaling around in circles around the north pole in a clockwise motion, you can go backwards through time zones fast enough that you can actually gain enough hours in two hours of cycling to be able to reach the pomme de terre by last week. It is rather uphill getting there (according to my globe) but the downhill ride from the north pole to Waltham shouldn't require any pedalling, and will give you plenty of time to rest up before trouncing all of the much better fencers who will be there!

    Or since by string theory all possible outcomes to a situation occur, you could attempt to get to the PdT by jumping off of a cliff. It will get you there (in theory, anyway).

    by the same bit of theory, it's fairly safe to say that he's at PdT right now.....

    Why, this boy is so tall he's stepping out out with his left leg right now and is standing in downtown Waltham as we speak. Hey kid, get me a grinder at Lena's!

    It's always so hard trying to reconcile you as a tall lanky boy as you say you are when that short squatty avator keeps making you look like a punk!
