You STILL haven't talked to her? Even after she made that unicycle cutout thing?

[James_Potter]

nice!!

[dudewithasock]

Oh yeah congrats on the paper, too. :)

[koebwil]

I have been giving you great lines for two weeks or so now. Let me tell you right now how you will get this girl.

1. Get the newspaper.
2. walk up to the girl and ask her "Have you ever dated a headline worthy athlete?"
3. If she says no , pull out the newspaper and say "How many chances do you think you'll get?" If she says yes you respond by pulling out the paper and saying "Would you like to give another one a try?"
4. Go out for sushi (really good date food), a movie (let her pick the movie, if she won't pick see a movie you think she would like), and ask her out afterwards.
5. Brag to us about how you got the chick.

[monkeyman]

sweet....me and Matt need to try to get in....

if only i was so bold! lol. but i will talk to her hopefully, and thousands and thousands read the papers, and they do get delivered to the school. *needs reassurance that she'll see it*

You STILL haven't talked to her? Even after she made that unicycle cutout thing?
only thing i know how to do is uni. thats pretty much it. dont dance or bike anymore ,and ive never really attracted too many girls. go figure.

[James_Potter]

come onnnn man, wheres the picture!!

[jonny]

it wont be printed till tuesday. i was just saying that its for sure i gots it. *silence* yep.

[James_Potter]

ohhh!
okay, I thought it was already out (:

[koebwil]

if only i was so bold! lol. but i will talk to her hopefully, and thousands and thousands read the papers, and they do get delivered to the school. *needs reassurance that she'll see it*If she hasn't seen it I told you to just show it to her. I believe in you, you have the power.

On another note people tell me so often that I should be in the campus newspaper. If that ever happened I would hit on so many hot chicks you would not see me post for about a week.

[HardcoreCokerRider]

Congratulations! Way to go!

You'll get the girl... you just need a bit more self-confidence. koebwil believes in you, I believe in you... now you just gotta believe in yourself a little more.

Chicks are generally attracted to self-confidence and turned-off by guys that display insecurities... it's a biological thing probably: a self-confident hunter was probably a lot more likely to bring home some meat than a timid or self-doubting hunter.

You already have the confidence to master difficult tricks like unispins... now just show that same kind of confidence around the girl you like and she's yours!!!

[napalm]

Welcome to the front page newspaper article gang! You seem to have it set- a chick that digs your unicycling. All my ex's kinda got pissed cos i spent more time riding my uni than.......seeing them.

[Tim Morin]

Congratulations man. Could be your shot at fame. Good luck with the girl.

[koebwil]

Also use the word baby a lot. Chicks find it hilarious. Especially from little white dudes like us.

[terrybigwheel]

Congrats on the front page! Will it include and interview? Post it when it comes out! Now we BOTH have news coverage...which is really GOOD for the sport!:)
We ALL need to get the word out. Next: National TV Exposure!

[boo radley]

no no let's not get the word out. unicycling can be everyone's dirty little secret.

[GILD]

Nice going Chosen. Can't wait to see the article.

[pinwheel]

Well done! But remember the front page is generally for news so don't be too disappointed if you move down the pages if something big hits town.
And I hope you charged a fee for the pic too! :cool: If not asked the photographer for a free print - then give that to the young lady... more impressive than calling her "chick" or "babe".... young ladies aren't always impressed with that sorta derogatory type way of being addressed.

[MrBoogiejuice]

young ladies aren't always impressed with that sorta derogatory type way of being addressed.

You've evidently never been to Macclesfield. The town where 2 Smirnoff Ice and a kebab on the walk home is considered romantic.

Nice one on the article Chosen, looking forward to seeing it.

I didn't say "babe" I said baby. I don't mean it in a derogatory way, just as a way to talk on occasion because it's funny. If a girl takes offense to me calling her baby she clearly isn't my kind of girl.

[monkeyman]

ahh, come on chosen...you'll be fine....
1. you unicycle
2. you were on the front page of the paper
3. you unicycle

[Loosemoose]

You've evidently never been to Macclesfield. The town where 2 Smirnoff Ice and a kebab on the walk home is considered romantic
young ladies aren't always impressed with that sorta derogatory type way of being addressed. Possibly says more about the state of the female sex in Macclesfield than anything else... :p.

Nice one Chosen, publicity is always good!

Loose.

ahh, come on chosen...you'll be fine....
1. you unicycle
2. you were on the front page of the paper
3. you unicycle
cant argue with that:p :rolleyes: ;) :)

[GILD]

I take it the Smirnoff Storm would be considered brash?

Do you also have those wonderfull Smirnoff ads with Juri and Gur?

[koebwil]

I'm going to be in my Campus newspaper. I'm going to hit on so many chicks it will be legendary.

[GILD]

so if something does go wrong, and im not on the front page, ill feel like wow.....that was cooler?
While working on a radio station in Nelspruit, I was going to have a tattoo done live on air and since our studios were in the offices of the local newspaper, I got one of the journo's to do a short bit about it. It was a weekly paper and the piece about my tattoo was to be published on the friday morning and I'd have the tattoo done at about 11, so it would be great publicity for kicking up the listenership figures.
He took a pic of me sitting in a chair behind the desk, apparantly naked and holding a station T-shirt strategically in front of me. I'm also screaming my head off.
Thursday mid-afternoon he calls me to tell me that they don't have anything big to go on the frontpage and that I'm going to be it. I'm smiling.
Later Thursday afternoon a bus carrying 50-odd British tourists plunges down the side of the Long Tom Pass.
I made page three.

The following week.

[Jethro]

I also made the Minneapolis paper tomorrow. This time it has nothing to do with unicycling

I love the Learner Plate.
And the journo's musings about the collective noun for unicyclists.

[DarkTom]

Still no pics? I thought you said it was gonna be out on tuesday? Does this mean you didn't get in and the gay dancer is cooler than you?

Kudos anyway to you, man! I got in a paper once, just a wee local rag. I was on page 7 but there was a wee pic of me on the front saying the article was on page 7, does that count as being on the front page?

The journo called me a "trick cyclist" and one time at the skatepark about 2 months after the paper, some guy shouted "trick cyclist" at me. Fame, eh? It's hard work.

But aye, pics of the paper?

thanks for putting that up, GILD.

It was a very fun day!

So what is the collective noun for unicyclist?

Have (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41658&highlight=collective+noun) you got (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13652&highlight=collective+noun) time (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27909&highlight=collective+noun)?

I'm partial to 'a balance of unicyclists' but 'a wobble if unicyclists' seems to have the edge in the last poll. It ended pretty unconclusively tho.
It will finally be decided when more people are writing about unicycling. It's not really the kind of thing that can be prescribed.

But when people ask, I say 'balance'.

[edsbelly]

hehe,
i like 'balance' of unicyclists.

i am the one with the helmet and 'L' plate

you should be very proud of yourself amos.

The 'L' plate was very suitable seeings you couldn't ride at the time.
