Maybe I'll get my boyfriend to add some biking to that, though I'd prefer to avoid the wheel-taco trick.

Keep up the good work! Hi Fatty,

The camera is not terribly expensive and the slo-mo is pretty easy to use. I even tried changing the speed during one or two of them. Might be prone to a little cheesiness but it worked for a first time out. I need to remember to take it to a 'cross race though - opportunities abound!

Or you could have the number area left blank and use velcro to put diff numbers on depending on how it's going. And maybe, as a precautionary measure, also have them leave the "less" blank too...if you know what I mean. OK...time for some Peppermint Patties! And I think I'll have some too.

Just in case you were thinking you can't have any cuz they're too 'fatty'.

If you grasp it correctly, it tears right in half every single time (I've only tested about half the bag so far, but will continue my detailed study after lunch). Just thought you should know this...in the interests of science and all, and, uhm, well...yes...your little 'weight loss contest'. Not that I'm condoning you eating a bag of York Peppermint Patties or anything. However, I just MIGHT have tosssed a few $ to your LS page...(mostly cuz of how brave it was of you to risk your beloved and still NIB Superfly).
