He was spied today on a trail in Loma. He had no lid, no brains, and a Sandvik bike with lameo clown graphics. The most entertaining part was that he was on one of the most technical trails in the area and was riding in a very sketchy manner. I really thought we were going to have to scrape about 10cc of his brains off of a rock (all of them). He said (in a British accent) that he was from Boulder. Apparently the doof migration is in full swing from the Far Side. JD

"You know what this means, Norm... no size restrictions and *screw* the limit."
More lidless babboons on the lower trails here, too. They deserve a friendly, "howdy... Now get a
helmet!" All it takes is one of those doofi to biff it bad for the trail nazis to come in and
sanitize some more, or close it to bikes altogether.

That is my fear -- serious injuries and the risk of law suits and closed go the trails <sigh>.

It's part of a cost saving measure by the NHS. We're shipping our helmetless brain donors to the
states to save burden on the UK taxpayer when they spill their internal organs all over the
nearest big rock.

We're getting those here, too. Just came back from an AFD ride up in Sedona, where I saw no fewer
than 10 riders without helmets. At least none of them were hucking, but ALL of them were sketched
out on the easy stuff.
After the first couple attempts at "Hey, you forgot your helmet!" only
leaving them to bash their brains out.

Oh yeah, well smarty pants, answer me this:-
In front of you are 10 bags, filled with marbles. The number of marbles in each bag differs, but all
bags contain ten marbles or more. Nine of the ten bags only contain marbles of 10 grams each. One
bag only contains marbles of 9 grams. In addition, you have a balance which can weigh in grams
accurate, and you are allowed to use it only once (i.e. weigh a single time).
The Question: How can you find out in one weighing, which bag contains the marbles of 9 grams?

I just usually wait until they are close enough to hear me just say "Helmet." as we pass. I figure
if they don't understand what I mean then they deserver to be selected against.

Don't you mean "lack of brains"? I told this "boulderite" that a helmet is a good idea on the trails
around here. He just shrugged like some kind of daft bobblehead on the dash of a lowrider on
Whittier Blvd.
BTW, congrats on the success of you AZSF.

I think I saw his (stoned) yank friend going the wrong way on Clementine Loop in Auburn. When we
approached him he nearly fell off his Yeti and over the edge of the cliff...
