Gentlemen: All the chainring bolt tools are sold. Thanks.

This now raises the question that all of this is Harvey Sachs' doing.

With my padded bag scenario does it now mean that we have a brand new meaning of a Harvey Wallbanger?

Do our home mechanics have any relation to Red Skeleton's Mean Widdle Kid who used to get yelled at to stop banging his head on the wall before he broke the bulb in the refrigerator?
