I was a bike messenger in NYC in the '80s (and still have the scars!) so I'm looking forward to seeing this - if it ever finishes downloading! posted by nicwolff at 1:58 PM on August 29, 2004
Great vid, was a FPP just this July 15, (different URL though) posted by page404 at 2:05 PM on August 29, 2004
I've been d/ling for 20 minutes already, on DSL, and am only at 35% complete...gah. But this is a good time for me to mention that I too used to have the most glamorous, exciting, prestigious, sought-after job in the world. Yes, that's right, like nicwolff, I used to be a nyc bike messenger. I did have great thighs, but that was the only perk. I'm sure that this video will bring back many nightmares for me. Can't wait to see it. posted by iconomy at 2:17 PM on August 29, 2004
Let's see if that Coral cache thing actually works: video link. posted by smackfu at 2:39 PM on August 29, 2004
yeah, it's a double...but the first time the video got fried (farked?) pretty early on so it's a useful double post, thanks! posted by NGnerd at 2:43 PM on August 29, 2004
Yep, I never got to see the video first time, so a worthy pea roast. posted by chrid at 3:09 PM on August 29, 2004
