Here's a word - ARSE-TASTIC. Definition: when something is fantastic, but your arse is the only thing not in on the joke.

Did the Five Boro Bike Tour today. It was pretty great, except for the inability to sit down without wincing toward the end. And now, lying on my couch, my hip's kind of complaining too. I'll be writing an entry about it for shnoos.com I think. It was fun. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Anyway, I was thinking of an invention. It's a bicycle seat that works like a transformer (the toy, not the thing that gets electricity to things). So, you ride for a while and it looks like a normal seat. Then, when yer ol' bum complains about the lack of respect and general mishandling it's getting from said seat, you hit a button and zip-zap-zing, it transforms to a different configuration of the seat. One that gives the parts of your bum that ain't been abused a turn on the whirly gig.
