Thing is, Krusty, a good creative lie is often impossible to detect and can often be entertaining as well: in fact, there's an entire category of 'em called "Texas Lies" in which both the teller and the listener *know* the whole thing is a fiction, and it's done strictly for the humorous effect of the wild exaggeration. But your lies aren't creative -because you don't have a creative bone in your body- and they aren't entertaining because whatever sense of wit or style you might have once possesed shriveled long ago under the blowtorch of your universal contempt for everyone and everything that you see as being better off than yourself. (Meaning just about everything in possession of a notochord.) In short, your lies are -and always have been- stupid, obvious, and so constant over the years that you've put yourself into the un-enviable position of the little boy who cried "WOLF!": Even should you slip up and accidentally let a bit of truth slip into one of your vitrolic screeds, nobody in their right minds would believe you anyway given your past history. And the sweet part of this is that you did it entirely to yourself, just exactly as you've ruined your whole life while blaming your utter failures on everyone but yourself.

So. Why don't you just get in bed with Rod Gobbling Don? The two of you are self-righteous bigot clones and would be perfect lovers.

Amusing when he actually doesn't get his own irony...and stays home avoiding Strugis.

OK. The north side of the road is the border for the Great Smoky Mountains NP. When a tree falls from that side of the road, they must get special permission to remove it. They're allowed to cut up what's actually in the road, but must have a permit to remove the rest of the tree. It's stupid, but it's the law. The next time that rumor floats through about the Dragon is going to be "straightened" or made into an Interstate (motorway), remember the Park. It's never going to happen. >* but then I suppose you only get one chance before the rider's gone Exactly. Not in my case though. I reversed and went past each photog three times. On the second and third passes, I sounded my horn to let them know I was coming into view. The loudest thing on my bike is the valve train, they don't usually hear me coming. I sound like George Jetson's car. > someone who desperately wants a pic of 'me on my bike' isn't going >to be discerning. If I wanted artistic, I'd set somebody up and get that. I don't care enough to pay $6 per picture for any of these, so the proofs are all I'll ever see. It would be easy enough to get the full pictures and photoshop the backgrounds but I really can't work up that much enthusiasm. >Itr's not hard to freeze spokes at any speed if you use a fast enough >shutter speed. Even at the speed I was going, 40 or so, the tread of my tires was plainly visible, as were the scrubbed-away portions of my boot soles. I have some pictures I shot when I was working as a guard at Laguna Seca back in 1980. Almost everything on the track was a two stroke and using 1/1000 was not enough to freeze the spokes of the guys coming out of the hairpin and carrying the front wheel down the long straight. I was using a Canon AE-1 (pre-program), that was the fastest speed I had. There were some people there from Honda of Japan. It was rumored they had a couple of bikes with square pistons. Everything was kept behind tarps and even though I was guarding the pits that day, I never got a glimpse of anything but the bikes as they hit the track. Everything in their pit stall was carefully screened off. Neither bike made a full lap before the engine seized. They packed everything up and left. Later we realized what we had actually witnessed but at the time we didn't have a clue. Everything I find in print says they started working on these engines in 81, but I beg to differ. -- Futility Man

Now *that* is an interesting tidbit! |
