haters be, well... hating

Three of the most interesting men in the world.

If BMC offers the Time Machine as their TT bike,

I give you my TT bike: The Hot Tub Time Machine:

I lent Monkey my wheels for about a month or so.

She gave them back to me on Monday.

I was putting them on my bike before our ride Tuesday morning.

I immediately notice the back wheel was out of true. After a closer inspection I realized there was broken spoke.

FM, in a playful and loving tone: "hey, what's up with breaking a spoke on my wheel there buddy? What are you doing smashing into curbs?"

Monk,  deadly serious: "I didn't do it, don't know what you are talking about."

FM, puzzled: "seriously? you've been using the wheels for a month, I just put them on my bike and there's a broken spoke, you broke it. Not a big deal, we'll get it fixed."

Monk, still serious : " not me man, what would I have hit?"

FM, realizing I'm not going to win here : " okay, you had the wheels for a month, I just rode it to the mailbox and back, I realized pretty quickly something was wrong. Now if you didn't break the spoke who did? the Garden gnome?"

Monk, with a smile: "Must have been a gnome. For sure a spoke breaking gnome."

FM, smiling back: "god damn gnomes."

Spoke Breaking Gnome.
