What happens when you apply a bit too much air pressure to the inside of an aluminium MTB rim that has had it’s structural integrity compromised by being worn down from years of use?
IT EXPLODES IN YOUR FACE!!
While filling my tire up with a compressor at a local bike shop, the pressure of the tire bead on the inside of the rim was too great for the weakened rim. The rim fractured and exploded out in 2 places with a very loud BOOM! This happened about 12″ away from my head. Fortunately, the shrapnel stayed attached to the rim and hearing returned to normal after a few hours. I didn’t totally blow out my ear drums, but I did blow $100 for a new rim and repairs.

September, 4, 2006 - I recently set out on an expedition to explore this uncharted glacier in my refrigerator. (This snapshot the only surviving artifact of my attempt.) Upon setting out, things quickly took a toll for the worse. I fell into one of the glaciers many hidden crevasses, which I didn’t see because of the hidden nature of hidden crevasses.
Fortunately, I survived the 1,800 foot plummet when my fall was stopped by the very bottom of the crevasse. When I regained consciousness, I was relieved to find I only had 38 severe compound fractures. I was also preventing hypothermia in the icy cave by keeping warm in the warmth of my oozing warm blood. I was only slightly injured, but I was still very trapped down there. I quickly escaped my predicament by harnessing the power of miracles which I needn’t explain.
Once escaped, I immediately set out to exact my revenge upon the glacier - I would MELT ALL 10,000 CUBIC MILES OF IT INTO OBLIVION!!! And, I would do so harnessing the powers not of miracles, but of HOT WATER and PLASTIC HAMBURGER SPATULAS from TARGET!!!!!
Let this be a lesson for any other glaciers wanting to fuck with me - I WILL SURVIVE ANY OBSTACLE YOU THROW AT ME, EVEN YOUR DECPTIVELY HIDDEN ONES, BY HARNESSING THE POWER OF MIRACLES, AND, I WILL RETURN TO MELT YOUR FROZEN ASS INTO OBLIVION WITH HOT WATER AND PLASTIC HAMBURGER SPATULAS FROM TARGET!!!!

Tonight, I performed live and unscripted on stage in front of an audience in New York City.
I feel we had a pretty fucking awesome show.
I was a bit nervous, as were a few of my fellow cast members, but we all warmed up quickly and went out confident and excited.
I’ll follow up with a first show wrap up – but it’s late, I’m buzzed and have to work in the morning.
Thank You Anne Nagel, Dave Johnson, Jordan Buntain, Joey and Anne Crawford and Kilsy Curiel for coming out in the rain tonight to see me perform on stage for the very first time ever! I hope you enjoyed the showand to see you again out there sometime soon…
Belch! ZZZZzzzzzz…
