The Braggarts

One day, three international bloggers were comparing their swordmanship:


Vox says, "When I've a finished a makina da love withah my wife, I go down and gently tickle the back of her knees, She floats 6 inches above a da bed in ecstasy."

Nate replies, "Zat is noting, when Ah've finished making ze love with ze wife, Ah kiss all ze way down her body and zen Ah lick za soles of her feet wiz mah tongue and she floats 12 inches above ze bed in pure ecstasy." (editors note: Nate really does talk this way.)

Gary says, "That ain't nothing buddy. When I've finished pokin the ole lady, I git out of bed, walk over to the winder and wipe my wiener on the curtains. She hits the freakin ceiling.

General Motors Used to Have Ideas

This '57 Chevy Wagon sports early versions of Power Steering and Power Brakes.

Note the Power Steering Pump on the back of the Generator. For the ladies among us, those are currently belt driven and independent. The '57 setup is very VW like in that it seeks to get more than one function from a single assembley.

Buyer Beware : Motorcyclist

DO NOT BUY:

The January issue of Motorcyclist magazine.

These sorry asses have put together one of the most heart wrenching winter issues in memory. I hate 'em. I hate 'em. I hate 'em.

In one issue there is an article about a lighter faster ZX6R, the wicked F800GS in Moab, motorcycle touring in Costa Rica (GS's of course), a hollywood motorcycle stuntman who traded his 'busa in on an 1150GS and never looked back, and a way cool scooter rider's club.

There is some of the best riding centric prose I have ever read on fallen brethren and also, by a middle aged fella (Jack Lewis) on his BMW R1200S, about the choices those of us with worn carcasses must make to pursue our two wheeled passions;

"Nice guys don't finish last. They take extra laps while the cool guys blow up and crash out of the game. Lead thee not into temptation. Into the valley of death rode nobody sane. Take a step back from the edge, ride home and kiss your family.
Sometimes I don't. The devil stands behind me wearing toe-cleavage pumps an designer decolletage. She strokes my hair while I bet, laughing at pot limits while I flop sweat, addled and hoopy and tracking like a scud.
Those are the times I have to push in the whole stack. On the day that I lose - and everybody loses, a chip at a time or the whole pile at a single throw - she'll laugh again and raise an eyebrow at the Dealer"
You have been warned.

A Nation Arms Itself

From Gun Test Magazine:

"We are seeing what I can Only describe as panic buying for civilian self-defense rifles, in particular, semiautomatic AR-15s, AK47s, SKSes, FALs, and so on."

This most celebrated president-elect in generations has spawned a somewhat curiously negative reaction.

Don't mind us, we're just ignorant folk out here in flyover country clinging to our guns and religion.

Props to "Resident Internet Guru Gary" currently communing with the ether at his secluded mountain retreat deep in the Appalachian wilderness.

Adventure is Afoot

This is not a motorcycle post. But, the Brothers "C" will soon be off.



Maintenance procedures are being executed, Regional weather reports and forecasts are being studied. Routes are being analyzed. The Farmers Almanac is consulted. Coms are checked. Destinations are debated. Systems will be surveyed. Lists are being composed and items checked off.

The countdown has commenced.....

OT I know, but I had to get it up.

California Wildfires: Enlightened Progressive Culture at Work

Let's consider the predicament of reconciling observed reality with the utopian garbage the average kalifornian finds his empty brain pan attempting to process:



1) Logging is BAD! It kills trees and Gaea doesn't like it.
BUT! Logging removes timber in such a way as to make uncontrollable wildfires unlikely.

2) Carbon dioxide emissions are bad! It makes Global Warming and industry and evil industry and cars cause that. Kalifornians are all for anything draconian to reduce carbon dioxide up to and including holding their breath. Would that they would all continuously do the latter.

BUT! Bunny (ahem...) Tree Hugger policies have turned national and state forests into tinder boxes resulting frequent emission of hundreds of tons of evil (says they) carbon dioxide.



3) Diversity and Tolerance are everything! They worship at the Church of the Progressive Utopian every day.
BUT! Taxes, cost of living, general standard of living, violent crime get worse every day.

4) The Gub'mnt Knows Best and will take care of everything 'cause they are real smart and stuff.
BUT! The ignorant hillbillies have reliable electricity and Kalifornians often don't.
