  1. Uni-Pedal-Demon (AKA: UPD)

    A middling demon, not a high Demon nor a low demon (imp of the
    perverse), this demon has one of anything – one eye, one nostril, one
    leg, one arm, one tusk, one arm, one leg, one finger and one toe (you
    might think he has two tentacles, but they have bones, so they’re
    tentacly not technicals :p and one, most definitely, has a palm and a
    finger – you know which finger it is. :eek🙂

    This demon is particularly angry, 😠 as he feels that he should be
    the demon in charge of all uni-wheeled vehicles, but as he has only one
    buttock so he can’t sit on a unicycle seat and therefore can’t master a
    unicycle (although, if he could he’d obviously be good at one-footed
    seat-out and hopping!). His singular anger (could he have any other
    kind?) is the reason there are unexplained UPDs (please note his alias
    {and you thought it meant unplanned dismount - so gullible}): he waits
    until after a unicyclist has cleared, with no problems at all, a
    particularly difficult section and then reaches up and grabs – just for
    an instant, mind you – the tire (he's -never- tyred :rolleyes🙂 which,
    of course, causes the rider to curse the UPD.😠

    Thus is explain-ed those UPDs on perfectly flat, smooth places with
    nary a stick or stone around.🙄

    Ok, I am now officially in my normal state of -advanced- confusion.
    Don't try to confuse me, it won't make any difference. If you try not
    to confuse me, that will confuse me.

  2. 3 months ago, I would have thought this was a little... peculiar...
    until I learned that medieval church scribes actually attributed errors
    in copying texts to a patron demon, named Titivillus (Actually spelling
    may vary).

    So... If there's a patron demon of UPD's, is there a patron saint of
    "I managed to keep my balance in an impossible riding situation"? 😄

    Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
    obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
    through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
    its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
    remain.

    In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in
    practice, there is.

    Sorry, He doesn't currently qualify, to qualify for sainthood you have
    to be, also, dead. And, while He does perform miracles (😎 every
    time He rides,) He ain't dead, yet!🙂

    Please to notice the caps.🙄

  7. In medieval times it was proposed that the reason rifleing causd bullets
    to fly more accurately was because the spin imparted made it difficult
    for airborn demons to grasp the projetile and force it out of it's
    intended path.

    All this time I thought UPD was Up-side-down---------See avatar.

  9. At school we've been doing Kris Holmisms a la Chuck Norris:

    "Kris Holm's sperm can withstand 3000PSI."

    "Kris Holm was once kicked in the groin by a horse. The horse had to
    be shot, due to its broken leg."
