The Stig Schroeder

I trust all of you to make this good.

Per "The Stig" Schroeder's Profile

Add your, "some say..." to his profile :P

This is going to get confusing—at least for my son, who is the real Stig Schroeder.

BTW, is your last name pronouced Shrader, like Dorsey, or Shroder, like that guy on Charlie Brown.

Good grief.

My college roomate, the unfortunately late Don Schroeder of C/D fame, pronounced it "Shrader".

That's the part of his name that you were wondering about?!

Some say he teaches stoppies on his Big Wheel, while others believe he sleeps in a tool chest.

Seriously? He was your roomate? Man, I liked that guys writing and was really sad to hear he had that accident. At least he was doing something he loved (yeah, I know, small consolation).

Well that was a good point.

He watches other children play with Legos, while he changes a timing belt.

BTW, I'm pretty sure I invented the big wheel. Here's how it happened:

Back in the early 60's while laying back down on our concrete drive, It occurred to me that my tricycle had a somewhat high CG, which gave it a tendancy to roll over in turns while I was riding it. I didn't like this.

A few years went by until one day when I noticed that my neighbor's little boy was going through the same thing. Then I had an idea.

I took the forks, handle bars and seat off. I flipped the frame over and re-installed the removed parts, thus making a low CG trycycle. I ended up doing a number of these conversions for neighbor's kids, as everybody loved it!

At some point later a company came out with a cheap plastic version of my creation and put me out of business. The big guys always win.....

Some say he invented the big wheel, others say....

Sorry, wrong profile.

Wrong profile? I don't get it.

we were supposed to be describing Per,see, but instead, based on your post, I wrote a line describing you, so.....

Ahhhh forget it. It really wasn't that funny anyway.

Yeah, he was a good guy. He had an old slant six Satellite when I knew him, them graduated to a Colt Turbo. We kept in nonfrequent touch and I was really sad to hear he was killed.

Some say he breastfed on E85, others say he spends his weekend drifting a Cozy Coupe... all we know is... his Dad's getting really tired of these!

Some say he chews bubble gum while kicking ass.

Nah, it's all fun. This was the first thread I checked this morning. I mean, after JG's parrot-LARPing thread over on a WoW board.
