Sur La Plaque: Rule #33

  Anyway, shaved legs dont look so good with a kilt, and summer only lasts a week or two here besides.

  There are many things that I wish I could pull off but could never. A kilt is right up there near the top of the list. (Yeah, that would inflect the Rule #33 question substantially.) Kilts and pipes make me almost believe in past lives. Here I am a wee puny descendant of French and Italians, but the sound of the pipes makes me want to swing a claymore through somebody's brains.  It's a sad mystery.

  I'm partly Rule #33 compliant after an inguinal hernia op.

  Ow. Why were you lifting heavy things? Heal quickly.

  more than 20 years of playing Judo at national and international levels all all the heavy weight work goes with it. The sport involves explosive twisting movement against strongly resisting opponents.

  Nice, I like that plan, I'm just not sure if she'll even let me get away with 'for big races only' - the reaction so far has been quite definite on any future shaving activity - or the lack thereof.

  No-one ever said the life of the Velominati was an easy one.

  What's good for the goose is good for the gander! Agree to ignore Rule #33 only if she does so too. Fem vanity and social compliance combined with approbation by her coffee club or knitting group or patchwork compatriots or which ever underground group she is involved with will assure your victory.

  It was growing a pair and shaving them that got me into this bother! I've tried the Mutually Assured Destruction route of suggesting she doesn't shave her legs, but frankly I find the idea as repugnant as she finds my sleek pins, so that's not gonna work either. As for her getting comments from any Mothers' meetings, knitting circles etc. - unlikely. She would no more attend those than grow a second head. She's more likely to be found out on her sports bike, or for that matter, her road bike than drinking coffee and swapping gossip.

  The annoying thing is that my VMH is completely awesome, lets me get away with all kinds of nonsense and has put up with me doing a lot of crazy stuff over the years. Shaving my legs just happens to be crossing the line I never knew existed.

  I may just opt for the middle ground and keep them trimmed to a non-wookie length and claim they're growing back reeeeally sloooowly.

  I take your point. A good fem is hard to find, so it is worthwhile avoiding the issue rather than strictly adhering to Rule #33.

  You're not supposed to shave your pendejos off your cojones!  (As Queen Isabella reportedly told Columbus.) No wonder people are asking how far up to shave! Are we cyclists or porn stars, for god's sake?  Ah, well, you'll do what you think is best, no doubt. As for me, today, I'm off for 165kms with my smooth guns exposed to the warm sunshine.

  @DocBrian In that case, I will try to avoid giving you the opportunity to throw me.

• OK, for the record, my spending an extra 10 minutes in the shower in rule 33 efforts is generally acceptable, but then getting out and dumping Rogaine all over my head is fucked up. It's like fucking your sister: sure, she's got a blouse full of goodies, and she's a great piece of tail...but it's just wrong.

• I caught up to a fella on a try-bike today with some of the fluffiest legs I've seen in a while. I thought those guys shaved everything.

  Am I the only one that doesn't understand the application of this metaphor, in this instance? I get it that the willful loss of something in one place you wish you had elsewhere could be seen as fucked up, but I don't get the incest jest. Can you please 'splain?
