  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:

    I was in a used bike store yesterday and a bike hanging on

    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).
