Not to be a downer, but I just don't get this. Anyone who rides for a long enough time will fall here and there, it just happens. Same thing with running: you're going to fall, you're going to fuck yourself up a little. Everyone who runs knows this.
The only reason this is funny is because hahah, Brandon sucks. Not saying he doesn't, it's just not actually that funny. It's like laughing at Biden for screwing up a reply-all.
This works on a whole lot of levels— it’s actually a metajoke.
Yeah I get it. But without the "Brandon sucks" emotion it's like making fun of airline food.
Obviously it’s based on disdain for Biden— now do every anti-Trump or Bush or Reagan joke.
Fine by me: they're just as lazy and unfunny, shared by lazy liberals who don't know the difference between political analysis, and text written in an outlined Impact typeface paired with an unflattering picture of someone they don't like.

On an almost entirely unrelated note, we went to look at a house yesterday, and across the road the neighbour had a Trump poster along with two life-size cut-outs of Teh Donald and Melania standing on his lawn, looking as though they were getting married.
It didn't appear to be being done with any sense of irony.
Not sure what it all means. A bit weird, though. I'm not 100% sure I want them as neighbours.

We’re trying. Kids have finished high school so we’re hoping to go somewhere a little more affordable - i.e more space

We’re not moving out of the area, just away from the town

Okay.
Bigger house? Bigger yard? Acreage?
You know, anything past two acres requires a tractor.

We're currently in a 1200 square foot thing, which is way too small - we're hoping to double it, and get a bigger yard - one we've looked at was about 0.4 acres, which is fine for the dogs and what-have-you.
We're moving away from Boston commuter-belt, probably to more rural places - at least, rural by New England standards. It gets a lot more affordable.
The place we looked at was originally built in the 1830's - which is actually pretty terrifying, but maybe liveable. It would be a project....
I was only joking

You don't have to go too far into Maine to find an affordable mountain.
Same for Vermont

I get it just fine. I'm just saying it doesn't make for funny jokes is all.

I thought you were supposed to "down size" when the kids left, not "up size"? LOL

Not to be a downer, but I just don't get this. Anyone who rides for a long enough time will fall here and there, it just happens. Same thing with running: you're going to fall, you're going to fuck yourself up a little. Everyone who runs knows this.
The only reason this is funny is because hahah, Brandon sucks. Not saying he doesn't, it's just not actually that funny. It's like laughing at Biden for screwing up a reply-all.

Yeah, 10 bucks says the meme author weighs 350lbs and hasn’t ridden a bike since the 70s.

Sounds like they have paid their dues with their current square footage for so many years with 3 grown folks plus Phibes living there. It's not the same but we lived in a condo that was 1000 SF for about 11 years before moving to our current house. We wanted the extra space spread out a bit, without it being too much to keep clean. We're very much enjoying it.
