Loosemoose said:*Dorky? why not Off the wall, out of the ordinary, strange,
interesting, challenging, different, unique,or experimental? *
all of those words could (fairly) reliably form part of the definition
of 'dorky' said:*Ken, you know how it goes with interviews and getting quoted... *
and the journalist needed one word to say all those things and the fact
that the rest of the world looks at unicycling as something slightly
outside of their frame of reference and comfort zone (hence the
repetitive, brainless 'u've lost a wheel' comments)
the work dorky fits the bill perfectly
by focussing on that one comment, we're running the risk of losing sight
of a very solid, stunningly positive article about a custom unicycle
builder
the article just briefly mentioned that dave rides himself
it wasn't a story about a 'quirky unicyclist guy' who tinkers in his
basement
it was about a local guy who's creating a bussiness from making some
exceptional unicycles
unicycling coverage has come a long way
