Are you sure it’s for you and not for the girls?" David, my tomato plants are all well over 5 feet tall, not including their pots. You must have puny tomatoes. ;) (Including the pots, they are about 6 feet tall. And loaded with tomatoes, which will one day ripen. Are you listening, Early Girl tomatoes?? Because you are NOT early!) I agree with Andrew, that's one ugly bike. That may be the jealousy talking, however. No offense, I suppose.

It looks like they grafted a seat tube into a softride. That might be the ugliest bike I’ve ever seen. It looks like they grafted a seat tube into a softride.

Whay would i say such a thing? Why would I even think it? This probably says more about the evil way my mind works than I would generally care to admit:
