Amen, sistah! :p

What the heck is going on around here? Wait, there's a big fight a'brewin in the Mac n Cheese thread. :lol:

oh my god, dar, go and get an enema this instant!

With friends like that, who needs enemas? ;)

I have Crohn's disease. My system auto-flushes.

Amen, brother

How do you handle long-haul driving while having Crohn's disease, Brian? I would think that would be difficult.

Any more questions?

I thought LJ's rant was hilarious - laugh and move on.

:lol2: *wipes tear*

You're probably right, V. I should know better by now.

Maybe he's a closet cyclist. Which would explain the frustration. Unless he has a huuuuge closet. For all those shoes.

I actually don't see a rant. I am the only ranter around here.The queen of rants and I'll be the judge of ranting.:queen:

I demote it to smart-arting.

One word.... Immodium.

I also try to maintain some kind of low-res diet. Sorta.
Lots of comfort food in a t/s, but it tends to have onion and spices in it.

It can be done, and when it can't, I sit close to the bathroom and wear diapers.

Here's a sad article about a bad car vs. cyclists accident in San Jose back in March. It was caused by a county sheriff who fell asleep at the wheel, crossed the double yellow line and smashed into three riders riding single file along the shoulder.

This particular article is from a cycling/legal column penned by a pro cyclist-turned-lawyer. He addressed media bias surrounding bike accidents after the initial newspaper stories made it sound as if both the cyclists and the sheriff were equally at fault: Those reports buried many of the details showing the sheriff acted negligently.

I agree that there are idiots out there who don't ride safely and cause accidents - they should be banished from the road. But the majority of riders I share the road with do obey laws and ride very conservatively. Most of the near-accidents I've had or witnessed involved drivers who were too impatient to wait an extra 5 seconds while the group cleared an intersection or passed through a tight stretch of road. Go easy on the gas pedal, please.

Hey bn, nice to see... uh, read ya. :D

Interesting article, Breaking.

My Daddy was involved in about two incidents a year (mostly near-misses) when he used to cycle to work. A former van driver and motorcyclist (now a car driver again with a clean record) he knew the highway code very well and was a working man, not a kid with something to prove.

He cycled because we didn't have he money for a car, but on at least one occasion I remember he had to replace his wet weather gear (an expense as necessary as it was unwelcome) because he'd come off his bike swerving out of the path of a car that didn't see him in the early hours of the morning.

More than once he had car doors open on him. I've never opened a drivers' side door without checking for cyclists after seeing his grazed face.
