To fill the hour
Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote,
To fill the hour - that is happiness; to fill the hour and leave no crevice for repentance or an approval
As we enter the final hours of the inagural IMD, we have seen some impressive feats of domination. Some said we couldn’t make it, others simply said that the summit of domination mountain was just too high and still others doubted our dominace all together.
It could be argued that the plain truth of the matter is there is just not enough room on it’s lofty spire for the dominant few, let alone the masses. Having said that, while few people commented there was some behind-the-scenes-dominating that didn’t make it to the web. For now, these unseen heros of IMD will have to wait, secure in the knowledge that they dominated, secure in the knowledge that next August will bring even more dominating.
In the meantime they can look sharp in the new (IMD Committee approved 
) Dominators team jerseys. Tom has investigated some quotes and can have them made up for $30 each by the same company that produces the infamous Gordonvale Pyramid Challenge singlets. Tom needs at least 10 confirmed orders, If there’s 20 then the price drops to $22 each. Email tom with your domination request.

I made some substantial holes in my IMD task list and there’s still some time left. I better get to it!

Lach and I dominated bobin head again last night in an attempt to finish off IMD with bang and to test Lach’s new lights. Averaging about 18km/h up the steep side of the hill, we swapped leads and Lach made me ride the single speed. I can safely say I have never worked so hard up that hill! But in the end we just plain old dominated!

That’s right, you can fuss all you want, and claim it till the cows come home, but in the end it’s just getting the job done. Like I’ve said before, “If you have to ask if it’s dominating, it probably isn’t”.

I would actually like a singlet with the IMD stamp of approval on it. Can you do that?
August 31st, 2005 at 11:01 am
I was thinking of the stamp on the centre back and the dominators script on the front.
August 31st, 2005 at 11:33 am
Count me in for a T-shirt. I can dominate the oh so frozen North in it.
August 31st, 2005 at 12:02 pm
You can wear it over your hoody.
August 31st, 2005 at 12:07 pm
the pure domination of the approved apparel will keep you warm!!
August 31st, 2005 at 12:08 pm
I can see another T-shirt coming on…
‘Pipefish are OK by me’

and yet again the girls in our midst are conspicuously absent. Are we a bit too macho or merely dominant?
August 31st, 2005 at 3:13 pm
They are probably busy working
August 31st, 2005 at 3:46 pm
Too busy dominating maybe
August 31st, 2005 at 4:03 pm
Can girls dominate?
August 31st, 2005 at 4:40 pm
lock you’re spineless ;0
August 31st, 2005 at 5:11 pm
Aren’t we forgetting who made dinner for Lock and Timtim last night…
A tasty dinner on the table after your ride - surely that’s dominant!
August 31st, 2005 at 5:30 pm
I’m not spineless I’ll have you know! What do you take me for?
No, it was dominant that Kath served up a tasty bolognaise for us to suck down at the end of the ride. Just what we needed after our duel up the steep side out of Bobbin Head. I’ll think we’ll be hitting up that restaurant again soon.
August 31st, 2005 at 5:51 pm
so are you getting a singlet Kath?
September 1st, 2005 at 8:33 am
I’ll get one if there are size options… we’re not all big men like you boys!
September 1st, 2005 at 9:13 am
You can have a timtim sized one then
September 1st, 2005 at 6:48 pm
can i have one too please - but maybe a bigger one that i can wear something underneath - it looks like it would fall right off me and that would be a particularly undominant look.
and i think one for the dadominator too.
September 2nd, 2005 at 12:00 pm
and once we all have the singlets I expect to see photographic submissions for a “reflections of domination” retrospective
September 2nd, 2005 at 3:31 pm
yes! classic
September 5th, 2005 at 9:52 am
I know I am large, but I’m a bit of a small man these days and am more of a medium.
yes yes I know, quite small
