  1. A recent post "Where is Fabrizio?" made me think of Bill. Is he still
    out there lurking? Or has he just given up on us? Maybe he is off doing
    one of his "off road imperial centuries". If you are out there Bill,
    come on back we miss you!

    I understand that Wild Bill has decided to chuck it all and ride around
    the world. He was last sighted just off the coast of California.

    Did not someone warn him that you can't ride over the ocean? I miss that
    nutty guy.

    Quit? You know, once I was thinking of quitting when I was diagnosed
    with brain, lung and testicular cancer all at the same time. But with
    the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike
    and won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a
    good reason to quit. So what are you dying of that's keeping you from
    the finals? - Lance Armstrong in "Dodgeball - A true underdog story"

    You must have missed the "riding on the wrong side of the road" threads.
    Warnings cannot penetrate the baka-shield.

    Besides, he's not on a skinny tired "roady". He's on a big-tired Huffy
    mountain bike with water bottles strapped on the front forks. It'll
    float I tell ya! Don't you know nothing about boyancy? I'm sure he
    figured out all math with a slide-rule and doublechecked it on the
    TRS-80 he found in the ditch.

    Oh yeah I must have forgotten about the boyancy of those big balloony
    tires on those things. And as long as he used the TSR-80 or the C-64 to
    work the math out right he should be okay.

    For some reason, the phrase "whistling past the graveyard" comes to

    The mother-ship came for him. He'd finally saved up enough $500 pipe
    bombs to buy a ticket.

    Maybe he is at the bottom of one of the ravines he said he rides along.
    Some hiker will find some bones next to a wrecked HUFFY some day.

    The Huffy will rust into dust long before ol' Iron Bill does.

    I second that. Lately this group seems to have lost more than its
    share of interesting posters. Their loss, and the arrival of a number of
    uninteresting, offensive denizens, seems to have discouraged even more of
    the people I come here to meet.

    There was a time, not so long ago, in a galaxy not so far away, when
    there were more interesting things going on in R.B.M. - but now it seems
    like there are too many social and political type threads here. And lest
    not for get all the highracer spam that gets cross-posted on a whole
    mess of NGs. I have made a resolution to avoid even reading threads when
    they start getting too OT. And never to rely to them.
