141: I'm Forked

I got the revalved forks yesterday, as was scheduled, and they're currently leaning against a table, waiting for the install.
Since there's no guarantee that I'll think they're perfect for me from the get-go (odds are, I won't), I should install them and then take the WR-250FY for a putt down a local dirt road as a maiden test voyage, bringing along my little screwdriver to make any damping adjustments.
Basically, I'll want to do what I can to get them dialed-in and get the feel that I like before I head on out for my usual Sunday rock pile ride.
I hope for good results.
We shall see.

Still ain't seen any used bikes for sale that really float my boat, but the supply of silly ads in plentiful.
Some people obviously don't realize or care how ridiculous their shit sounds.
And I do mean shit, too.
Literal scrap heaps for sale like it's gold, when it ain't even worth starting up the pickup truck to haul it to the dump.
What they really mean is that they should be offering to pay somebody to come take it off their hands for them.

Craigslist, itself, can kiss my ass, as well.
On the last two occasions that I posted a bike for sale, the ads I posted were flagged and pulled within 24 hours.
In fact, the last one for the WR-250RX, was pulled within 6 hours.
Thank God that the guy who bought it saw the ad five hours after I posted it.
What sucks is that I still don't know why they were pulled.
After it was flagged and pulled, I must have gotten 20 E-mails from Craigslist, all saying shit like OMG!!! Your ad was flagged! Click this link to find out what it's all about!!! DO IT NOW!!!
The sucky thing was that the links did nothing when i clicked them.
Well, one link did work, which was a FAQ (frequently asked questions) link about the dos and dont's of Craigslist.

When I read the part of the FAQ explaining why people's ads typically get flagged and pulled, I was not pleased.
Whoever wrote it did so in such a wise-assed, mocking, elitist, snobby, sarcastic, I-am-a-giant-Star-Trek-geek way, I just wanted to puke.
Basically, the scribbling went on to tell me that I should be happy my ad was pulled because it happened on a website that charges nothing for the service, and if it got pulled for some unknown reason, well, just be happy it cost me nothing, and I'm an unrealistic idiot if I were to complain.
I'm not kidding, folks - that was the jist of it.

Kiss my farking ass, you Microsoft dickhead.
Oh.
Have a good day, too. :)

Off to jerk,
