Chris (Pondero) came up with the acronym "BABBLE" while we were brainstorming, trying to name our social ride. BABBLE-Bicycle Authors, Bloggers, Bold-face liars, and Exaggerators, is basically just a group of bloggers who regularly comment on each others blogs and decided that it would be cool to get together and ride.
I started a Google Group the other day for BABBLE as a way for current and future members to keep connected. I know there are other, cooler means of doing this, like Facebook, Twitter and the like, but some of the members are a little long in the tooth, and, bless their hearts, are intimidated by these new fangled sites. Notice that I didn't include myself in that category despite my aversion to Facebook.
What does it take to be a member of BABBLE? I think membership should be in the vein of the Association of Caffeinated Cyclists, where if you drink coffee and you ride a bike, you're a member. So if you fall into the category of Bicycle Authors, Bloggers, Bold-face liars, and Exaggerators, congratulations you are a member. Now click on this link and join.
Yes, I know, the group is listed as CycleBABBLE. That's because BABBLE was already taken.
Hope you don't mind me joining since I live in Indiana. But I blog, lie, and exaggerate like crazy!
ReplyDeleteBig Oak sounds a little overqualified for this group. And just what does that whippersnapper mean by that "long in the tooth" crack? Why it seems like just yesterday that I was tweaking Tullio about needing a QR for Frankenbike...
ReplyDeleteBig Oak-You'll fit right in.
ReplyDeleteI had sent out an invitation to you the other day. It probably ended up in your spam filter.
Steve-Ha!
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am also joining, all the way from Ohio. Like Big Oak, I blog I lie and I exaggerate."perfect"!
ReplyDeletefrankenbiker-Awesome, the more the merrier.
ReplyDeleteJust A thought, too bad you sold all of your screen printing equipment. You could print up some BABBLE shirts with the image from the top of this post.I'd wear it with pride!
ReplyDeletefrankenbiker-I'll be buying another inexpensive press sometime soon just for stuff like that. I really miss printing.
