		<description>cosh, maybe i should have given more background. it&#039;s very common right now for people in other countries to prowl around online web auctions and offer full price for big-ticket items, saying they&#039;ll pay with a cashier&#039;s check or money order. by the time you discover the check/order is fake, they&#039;ve got whatever it is you&#039;re selling. these are examples of those scammers at work, and ricky&#039;s replies to them. make more sense now?</description>

		<description>Dude, what a great story- I too am a fat cyclist! Last September I was at 220 lbs, which on a 5&#039;9&#039;&#039; frame, i think is a tad worse than 190 on 5&#039;7&#039;&#039;, but then i started running, and later got a Trek 1500 and started biking, and eventually started training for and running triathlons, and now I&#039;m at 168 lbs, with just a few more lbs to go. Didn&#039;t do anything quite as cool about the journey though- man, i should start blogging! :D thanks for the site- it&#039;s hilarious!</description>

		<description>Dude, sweet. In the three words &quot;prancing chubby peacock&quot; you&#039;ve created a phrase that will really never lose that certain je ne sais quoi. I think it will give equal enjoyment every time i hear it.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s funny. I have very good proposal for you. I could start ride my bike from here towards Spokane, you do same. Then you pay me 1,000 US dollas for meeting you there. Deal? (You may be asking yourself, &quot;What&#039;s in it for me?&quot; - The answer is nothing monetary, just the chance to meet me in person, which, admittedly, is not worth anything close to $1,000)I&#039;m crossing my fingers for the Amazon money this week. (Since you&#039;ve hit your goal, what are the chances of you going up from 166? That&#039;s so selfish on my part, I know.) It seems that many people don&#039;t realize that you named your blog when you began your journey to improve your health, and that you did so when you were 25 pounds heavier than you are today. You may have to find a better way to feature that reality, just to keep the Fat Cyclist title working...</description>
