How did this go unpunished.

Frankly better than the most advanced cycling socks, only difference is that they can be a smite thicker.

wtf?

Nowt wrong with that.

Back in the early 1950s there was a bit of a race on to determine a functional grading of thickness for ladies tights. Wilhelm Dernier managed to lodge his system with the patents office in North Platte, Nebraska at a time recorded as 32 minutes before that of his closest rival and thus was the default choice for tights manufacturers around the globe. However, Edward Crapper-Smite's system was a lot more versatile. At the time the Commission for Regulation on Fabric Footwear was keen to distance itself from the emerging tights industry due to a conservative attitude towards gusseted legwear. As such they adopted the Crapper-Smite Scale, and renamed it as just the Smite Scale, so they could have their own thickness assessment tool. So it is perfectly reasonable to describe a sock as being a single smite or more thicker/thinner than another sock.

What the fuck to they teach kids in school these days.

Expecting a compendium of scobleastic knowledge I find myself intensely disappointed by the dead links above. Perhaps migrate to some kind of wiki?

scoble scobled everyone by deleting all the referenced posts. I don't think Ed liked it very much, personally I miss the scobleisms and I don't think anyone who posted them here meant anything harsh by it, just a nice collection of witticisms and unusual grammar.

texted Ed today as I couldn't remember which store he worked in and I was riding through Hammersmith.

He told me he was at the St John's Hill branch and I commented I just wanted to pop in and say hi. He responded "Not a problem! I'm in Battersea per mentally"

My reply was "so mentally you are in battersea, physically where are you?"

And got "Physically my hand is directed toward your face"

It has been far too long since I last saw Lord Scoble properly, we tend to fleetingly pass each other and I am a fuckwit so respond too slowly and shout abuse at him once he has already gone off in the other direction, which of course falls upon...

I'm in Battersea per mentally

Phone autocorrect is rubbish--he probably meant 'permanently'.

On 700c v. 650b (very zen)

I love that. He really might be some sort of bodhisattva. I'll never know as i muddle through life on my 700c's

Maddox wheelset are fucking shit as piss.
