A Tale of Two Cheeks
It always comes back to the ass. No, really, it's true. During any given conversation, if
something is said about
someone's ass, that conversation will continually return to something ass related. Next time you're with some friends or at a boring meeting, try this out.
So how did this whole
ass thing start? Well, it goes a little something like-a- this.....Last August, the Clones did a ride for the MS Society that started in Concord NH, overnighted at New England College in Heneker, then back to Concord the next day(about 150 miles total). So at breakfast on the second day, Bob made yet another snarky comment to Jen about something she had said and I followed suite (he and I had been doing this for pretty much most of the trip; of course, all of this was in good fun). So she turns to him and says "you've always got something to say don't you?! You're such a wise ass!" I just started snickering at this, to which I received the business end of a pointing finger and "and you..you're just a little punk ass!" Joe then pipes up "I want an ass name too!!" Well he didn't like dumb ass and the name needed to be something appropriate to his character. So, since he started the Clones tradition of sharing a few frosty pints of Guinness after a long ride, he became Guin-Ass (there was early talk of strapping a pint to each cheek and doing ass funnels, but that has yet to actually happen....maybe that's a
good thing:) ).Now of course since he's team captain he couldn't be just plain ol' Guin Ass so he was pronounced Ass Master Guin Ass. Then there's Rachel who has a love of all things caffeinated, thus Buzz Ass. Eric's name came easily; since he has a way cool GPS on his bike, he became GP Ass. Meng, who always seemed to end up wearing something red became Red Ass. Jen who started it all was dubbed Princass (pronounced Prince Ass of course).
So kids, that's the story of how a small subset of the Rolling Clones became Team A :) It always comes back to the ass......
