Oh Ed, I surely have the bigger ego, the difference between us being that
I can back it up.

My name has gorgeous meanings - I am the child of the people (Japanese), I
am the princess of the island (Polynesian), I am perfect (Hebrew) - so
basically it's a great name.

Tamyka Bell tells me that you have a sense of humor and that is how I should
have taken your above post. But we both know better, don't we. However, on
reflection I have decided to give your post the answer that it doesn't
deserve. Just another occasion for me to wax poetic. Tamyka, being a poet
and a scholar, will surely appreciate my words of wisdom.

It has always amazed me all of my life who it is that women date and most
especially who it is that they end up married to. That is what has led me to
believe that women are essentially brainless. They will go every time for
men who are basically slobs - crude and stupid. I for instance am not only
extremely handsome, but also extremely intelligent as anyone can plainly see
who can read my words. My charm is not on the surface, but goes much deeper
than that. Yes, I am a bit cranky at times, but so are all great souls. We
Great Ones do not suffer fools gladly. Yet, for some strange reason, women
are not attracted to me. It is one of the supreme mysteries of the universe.
By rights, they should be falling at my feet and worshipping the ground I
walk on. Where did I go amiss?

Now that I am going to be departing this veil of woes for oblivion in the
not too distant future, I bid farewell to the fair sex for all eternity.
They have forever remained a mystery to me. I can only conclude that they
were not worthy of me. Well, it has been their loss. If only women had the
intelligence of men, but apparently nature did not want it that way. Nature
wanted women to be dumkopfs and blockheads when it comes to choosing men. So
be it. Thus spake Zarathustra.

Hey, DiscoDuck, you old son of gun, I mean you stupid jackass - still at it
I see. Hells Bells, you do not ever need to wear a helmet as your skull is
most likely made of tempered steel just like your brain.

It seems no one will respond anymore to my totally outrageous posts, so I
will see what I can dredge up on all those groups you are posting to. We
here on ARBR are way too smart for numskulls like you, but it may be that
these other groups that you are posting to are NOT composed of idiots like
you. I think we all know by now know that bc.cycling can't be much, but the
uk and nyc can't be as stupid as you are. Aus.bicycle has proven to be a
disappointment to me (they all violate their helmet laws and think nothing
of it), but then nothing can began to compare to ARBR, a newsgroup that is
composed of mature and wise cyclists (with a few exceptions) par excellence
who obey the laws even when they disagree with them. What a scofflaw and a
totally reprehensible human being you are.

Why are most Canadians so incredibly stupid? Has the North frozen their
brains?

No, it is just Mr. Tom Sherman doing his thing. We here on ARBR are used to
him and we do not regard his shenanigans as anything exceptional, just
another boring day on ARBR.

Well, now I am confused. I have never heard of a Japanese Jew or a
Polynesian Jew either for that matter. Is your Hebrewness racial or merely
religious. If it is racial, then why aren't you living in Israel instead of
slumming in Australia. Of course, anyone can claim to be a Jew. Even Sammy
Davis Jr. wanted to be a Jew. Apparently, having two strikes against him
wasn't enough (being a small ugly Negro and married to a big white Swede).
No, he wanted that third strike, being a Jew. In other words, the full
catastrophe as Zorba the Greek would put it.

By the way, I am glad you like your stupid name. But where it comes from is
still a mystery. Is it Japanese, Polynesian or Jewish? Sounds Japanese to me
now that I think about it. So why isn't your last name Japanese also? Are
you a mixed up mess? How did you come to be a Jew?

Er, me?

The hospital, I'm sure, has me down as "unhelmeted cyclist, head
injuries". Fortunately the human skull is made of sterner stuff than
polystyrene hats and, scarring and a short mid-road kip aside, I'm fine.

You bet! As if a helmet wouldn't have given you some protection. But Hey! Go
ahead and continue to ride your bike without wearing a helmet and maybe next
time you will get your just deserts - death. Anyone as stupid as you who
does not learn from experience does not deserve to live, let alone to be
posting your nonsense to ARBR.

So - lets get this clear - someone who does not die deserves death as
their just reward for living. Right.

Anyone as stupid as you who

Whereas someone as stupid as you: too clue-proof to understand any of
the the various studies that have been cited; any of the evidence that
is available; any of the conclusive demonstrations of the very limited
difference it makes to anyone's survival chances if they strap a feeble
lump of expanded polystyrene on top of their head; you are the shining
example and authority we should follow. Yeh, right.

Damn. Just noticed that this is being crossposted all over the shop.
Including the land of the once-free across the pond.

But in response to your obviously knee jerk reaction:

Sure, a helmet would have protected me from the minor injuries I
received. But then, had I been prohibited from cycling without a helmet,
I would have been in the car anyway. Minor injury free myself, but a
liability in terms of public safety.

I have been riding without a helmet for over 30 years Edward boy.
Again you are wrong, and proved by my riding of a bike without a helmet
and millions of others.

Wrong wrong wrong again Edward. Don't you get tired of being wrong so
often? Let me guess you are going for a record.

All those so-called studies are nothing but ****. Anyone with any common
sense knows that a helmet is going to afford some protection. You are too
stupid for me to waste time on. Get lost why don't you.

Like I've said before, some people are not intelligent enough to
realise that common sense is sometimes lacking in all aspects save the
common part!

And as for cycling across the Sahara, I'm not sure if I'd get too hot
in a helmet.

You do not understand statistics. The reason you do not understand
statistics is because you are an idiot. I pray that you will get hit by a
motor vehicle and that you will get knocked on your stupid head. That is the
only way you will ever get any sense knocked into you.

You do not want to cycle across the Sahara; you want to trek across the
Sahara. We humans are designed for trekking, not cycling. Let us go then,
you and I, from Algiers to Timbuktu. No camels either. Just you and I
trekking across the Sahara. It has always been my desire to die in Timbuktu.
