    The oddest sounding thing you own is...

    Just looked at my pushbike collection this morning (yes, I know... :shock: ) and realised what an odd name one of them has.

    A funky BMX it is, but with a name that reminds me of playground bullying...

    Gary Fisher "Pure Bender". :lol: :lol: Imagine riding that:

    "Oh so that's a cool bike mate. What is it?"
    "Erm... it's a Pure Bender. I ride a Pure Bender"
    "Nice!" :shock:

    So... what's the strangest thing you own?

    I bought my wife a muff chain.

    I own a Big Muff and replaced one of the pickups in one of my Les Pauls with a Hot Slag (essentially for the name really I have to admit)

    Its not something I own or that you can own really, but its always made me snigger when at skate comps the commentator calling the tricks shouts ‘backside disaster’

    Also, do Wimpy still sell the ‘bender in a bun’?

    Having just taken delivery of our third child, I think it's safe to say that my gland is well and truly stuffed. :lol:

    I have a full brass half a meter long steam-actioned ship's horn.

    I also have my own mummified navel stump, and most of my milk teeth.

    Not as odd sounding, but I've always been tickled that one of the DIY chains own brand equivalent of 'No More Nails' is called 'I Can't Believe Its Not Nails'.

    Brings to mind the Viz advert for KY Jelly 'I Can't Believe Its Not Batter' :)

    I once almost bought a Groomer for one of our Japanese offices.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Funny you should mention that, As I have a few bikes made by Cove.

    I have a



    Handjob



    a Stiffee



    and a Hustler

    It is a bit odd explaining that was actually the model name to the insurance company when adding them to the policy.

    Oh I have got "Gusset" cranks on my BMX as well.

    Do you have a Big Muff or a Big Muff Pi(e)?
    I had a Little Big Muff and previously considered the Super Hard-On and the Double Muff.
