He told me in email he was the Tick! (aka Patrick Warburton)

He said he made the switch b/c he got to wear a cape. I see that, too is an exaggeration.

Wow, I'm impressed. Is he full animation? Or that Clutch Cargo kind of 'toon?

So Luigi, you're really 'DangerMouse'?

I rode in the nearly pleasant weather today; as I reached the traffic light at the edge of main
street, I found myself next to a couple harleys. I was afraid to offend by going "Vroom vroom" and
twisting my hand on the handlebar, as described by some here, although they claim the harley riders
enjoy the humor.

The guy, however, took the initiative and said how nice the weather was; I happily agreed and said
"I'm just glad to finally be out here". I proceeded to keep the pace with them all the way through
town -- traffic was somewhat heavy and a bit slow, to match my winter-atrophied legs. Still, I was
amazed at how well I kept up.

An older guy on a bicycle, however, gave me the evil eye. On the way to a bike shop, just after the
motorcycles pulled away from me, I passed him, going significantly faster than him. I was on my fast
bike (nice light aero racing bike), with my young legs, and he was on a MTB-based comfort bike. I
was really jamming, too, high on excitement from keeping up with the automotive traffic for so long.
As a result of going all-out like that, my arms were a bit busy, and my mind a bit distracted, for a
wave or a "nice day" blurted as I flew by.

On the way out, waiting for the non-stop traffic to ease (why so much?), he came tooling along and
really gave me the evil eye. Is what I did _that_ offensive? I passed with plenty of room.

As long as you passed on the left he shouldn't have a problem.

If you passed on the right you should be taken out and shot.

Depends on if he's glad to see you!

You can't please all the people all the time (why should you?) and mind reading is just too
difficult! I'm enjoying the weather too. I think spring is here. If not, at least winter's back is
broken. Best regards, Bernie

There is a popular motorcycle spot, "The Rock Store" on an equally popular motorcycle road,
Mulholland Hwy, in NW El Lay County. Many times, local bicycle clubs also take this hwy. As The Rock
Store is the only rest stop on it's 50 mile length, it is a popular stop for us as well.

Their is never any friction between the two brands of cyclists. Rather, there is a sort of
camaraderie, bourne, I'm sure, of the freedom of the open road, by two almost equally
repressed groups.

I always treat motercyclists on the road as distant brethren, as they do
me.

I've a nagging suspicion that some exemplary automobilist was trying to pass me on the right
last evening.

I approached the stop sign in my usual position for the intersection. A white GM 4 door scud pulled
up on my right looking impatient. That's normal because they can't see approaching traffic from
behind the stop line.

I could see a break coming and he wasn't getting ready so that's when I figured he wasn't going to
be turning. Okay, let's see your stupid scud trick. As the northbound lanes were clearing of
stragglers, there were still a few scattered southbound sloths coming. I scooted between two giving
fartknob plenty of time behind the third one. I started moving right while crossing the
intersection. Dufus is coming too so I keep accelerating. Okay, maybe he's turning at the gas
station drive? Nope, he's dropping behind. Good, there's parked cars ahead and cars approaching. I
slotted back to cruise cadence after clearing the intersection. He's been behind me maybe a whole
nine seconds now and all the while revving his engine and riding my wheel.

As soon as he's got room to pass, he hits the pedal. The scud lurched just after I'd spit. He
swerved wider. I got about a meter.

It was dark so I'm not sure what he waved but he eventually sputtered something out the window he
partially rolled down for that purpose.

They're not out to get you
- they haven't a clue what they're doin' out there.

I like racing with 'em when I know there's a speed bump coming up, and they don't. It's kinda like
steelhead fishing, only you're the fish and they're the idiot.

Tailgaters are prime candidates for a good mooning, but you've gotta be ready to beat the Irish outa
them, too. Or scram when they can beat the Irish outa you.

cheers, Tom

I never emailed that puke or his relatives, he wishes he knew me.

If you are ready to engage me. let's rock and roll.

I find it despicable that you would imply that I was less than a gentleman, apologize immediately.

Ezra Pound once challenged fellow-poet Lascalles Abercrombie to a duel over some trifle or other.
Abercrombie, being the challenged party, had the choice of weapon, and, since Pound was a fearsome
swordsman (he had fenced at Penn), decided to choose weapons that suited his skills better.

So Abercrombie suggested that the two combatants pummel each other with unsold copies of their
poetry collections. Abercrombie was then rather in fashion, and Pound was...not. Faced with the less-than-
honourable prospect of burying the defenseless Abercrombie under a mound of his unsold poems, Pound
rescinded the challenge, and the two were reconciled.
