  1. This arrived in my mail box on Monday:

    Well we finally got that Bike Week nonsense out of the way, now we can
    get back to the business of destroying the environment. So until Bike
    Week comes around again in the Fall, every week is Pollute to Work Week!
    That's right, it's time to empty the ash tray, throw out the fast
    food wrappers, slap some fresh CDs in the changer, clean the windshield
    and go spew some hydrocarbons. We've got a world to ruin and with out
    your help it just won't happen. Call everyone in your carpool and tell
    'em from now on it's just you and your Edsel. Go buy some gas, grab an
    Egg Mc Muffin and run over the neighbor's Kitty. Maybe even take the
    back roads and you could squash a possum. Somebody's gotta do it and it
    might as well be you. I know I can count on you. Don't even try to
    imagine what this place would be like if you fail to drive everywhere.
    Now I know that despite my prodding to "Drive and Drive Often" some
    of you will fail. Some will continue to ride. Some of you will have been
    fooled by all that Fun, Fitness, and Concern for the Environment
    propaganda you were subjected to last week. You probably thought it all
    made such good sense. You might have even enjoyed riding you 2 wheeler.
    Bunch of tree hugging ninnies! If you are in that group here are some
    activities that may appeal to you:

    In Illinois they have these special environment plates for cars, w/ a
    cardinal on them. Always makes me laugh/sneer when i see one on a
    Navigator etc.

  15. Heck with the Edsel, break out the H2, Excursion, Expedition, Tahoe, F350,
    Suburban, Cumming's powered Dodge, the new craze the "Hemi" and whatever
    else we drive in the states. I wonder why the US does this? Is it because
    we are just the most aggressive country? We need to feel we can crush
    anything on the road, sort of like how our government is runned? What is
    the deal in the US? Could someone tell me why we are so obnoxious?

    Does it matter to where? Maybe nowhere. Maybe hell.

    I like to accelerate hard and go fast on my bike, too, regardless of
    my destination (or lack thereof).
