Politicians ... I hate 'em. Why don't they get off the fence and say what they really think!

Okay Bengt, now didn't I just recently send that there pinstriping tape to you all the way to Sweden(gratis, I might add), AND can't you find any other parts of that Triumph o' yours onto which you can affix some of that pinstriping tape besides on that sidecover I saw that picture of around here a few weeks ago(nice job there, BTW ), and INSTEAD of starting YET ANOTHER "Global Warming/I hate that b*stard Al Gore" thread around here????


I mean, I HOPE you know that NOW I'll have to send a roll of that friggin' tape to Iowa to try and keep Larry pre-occupied for a while so we all won't have to listen to yet another one of his long and drawn out theses about this stuff all over again, not to mention his takes on all the other "conspiracies" unfolding upon all us poor naive souls out there in the world!!!

(....though admittedly this pinstriping diversionary plan of mine sure doesn't seem to be working in YOUR case, ol' buddy!!!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Looking at the weather in SOCAL you should be out riding instead of picking fights here. If it were any of us here in the Midwest we'd be organizing a rally!


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Now now Larry, couldn't you just for once take one of my little gibes in the spirit it was given. Come on now, you know how these kinds of threads can get ya to pull that there soapbox o' yours out and to step upon it for a while, don't cha?! Nope, I wasn't "pickin' a fight" here, I was TRYIN', just like I do to EVERYBODY around here, to get ya to LAUGH at yourself just a bit!!!

(BTW...I sent Bengt some GOLD colored pinstriping, and so what color would YOU like, amigo???....ya know, the mailing costs from SoCal to Iowa won't be near as expensive as it was to Sweden!!!)

Nope, I've got that figured out. Just tell all the guys that you will send them "clear" pinstriping. They won't know the difference

Save yourself a bundle.


Still want my silver though.

Yep! VERY good idea, alright!

Ya know, this is one of the reasons why we let you hosers hang around at BA.com...every once in a while one of you guys comes up with a pretty good idea!!!!

(BTW, your silver pinstriping tape will be sent to you very very soon...just stand outside next to your mailbox for the next 10 days and wait for it...sorry, but I ain't gonna send it Express Mail!!!)

There's time for all kinds of activities when the ice age we're experiencing makes it impossible to blow off steam out on the roads. Still discustingly cold and lots of snow here. But waddaya know, I've pimped my front fender with that beautiful tape you sent me. Today I even went to my brother's shop and clearcoated the fender plus my pimped side cover. So you see Dwight, some of us can be both good and bad in the same day!

But you have to admit that the politician in the youtube film was hilarious to watch!

Yeah! Actually I DID kind'a like his delivery alright, Bengt!!! Yep, for some "strange reason" I CAN kind'a appreciate that BOMBASTIC delivery of his there!!!

Ya know, I'll betcha ANYTHING that when that dude types into some website's forums that he uses UPPERCASE a lot more than the average TOO!!!

(just for those folks who might be a little slow on the ol' uptake here, the above gibe was directed BACK AT MYSELF!!!...THAT'S how it's done, ya see!!!)

How could it be? Problem is that it's more or less impossible for a politician to admit he or she was wrong (mislead), that noone dares to be the first to step up. AND isn't it a great way to make more tax money by scaring the masses???

Sorry I’m so late getting back to you. I spent the day at my Iowa Republican precinct caucus with my fellow vast right wing conspirators plotting regime change.

Actually I’ve found that as additional evidence of the fraud comes out fewer and fewer people are willing to buy into it. My guess is that within a few years global warming will join phrenology and eugenics as abandoned "sciences" that previously had a great following. There is a very good reason none of it’s leading proponents will debate the leading skeptics.

Hope you had a good ride.

Hey....just got a great idea. You guys are complaining about it being too hot... and us Canuks are too cold. Lets split the difference. 1/2 of 32C is 16C. Anybody can ride at 16C. Comfortable, everybody's happy, No picking on the Canuks and our fellow northerners in Europe. Dwight won't go broke forking out pinstriping...I won't have to wait for the stuff....

You gents down south can learn to be.....er....ah.....hmmmm...I'll think of something

Peace Man EH!

Recycling is good

I recycle as much as I can, particuly at work, though this is technicaly theft, but heck, it'll only go to landfill!

BTW why is recycled stuff dearer than non-recycled stuff?
