“I see” said the blind man as he reached for his hammer and saw…

I liked that idea, however I tore open the envelope yesterday and pulled out all of the goodness post-haste and immediately attempted to insert the book into my DVD player.
Upon realizing my folly, I retraced my steps and then dropped to do 20 push ups as a penance for my stupidity.

Finally, with the shiny silver disk placed right side down in the machine, I pushed the play button and sat back with my box of Jujubes cracked and at the ready.
The movie has never before seen footage and actual interviews with the individuals who were there and experienced it all first hand. It contains astounding tale after astounding tale of the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat as these pioneers entranced the American public with their feats of strength and physical fortitude.

Eventually I got sleepy and paused the film so I could continue it later with a fresh eye, but I can say without reservation that anyone who has ever thrown a leg over a track bike, or better yet, knows the dizzying sensation of turning left in a pursuit of triumph should absolutely procure of copy of this themselves to bare witness to the originators of the craft.

As one who enjoys the abuse of substances, I was taken with the stories of performance enhancing supplements such as a blend of Cognack, sugar water and Ether to aid in the participant's quest for domination. As a matter of fact, just so I could fully enjoy the experience of the film, I mixed up that very concoction for myself, but before long got distracted and found myself in the corner of my living room attempting to gnaw through a garbage can lid.
At any rate, I whole heartedly recommend any and all lovers of the two wheels and the fixed cog to get this movie if for no other reason than to see first hand where they came from.

I’m a student of geographically unique phrases… things like pop vs soda vs coke.

And in the southeast, it’s “I see, said the blind man, as he tripped over the white picket fence,”

Like yours better, though.

As I reckon when I grew up, the way it was told was:

“I see said the blind man, to his deaf and dumb daughter, who picked up the hammer and saw”.

Now, thats a fact.
