wow. knocks out that whole "you can never get a picture of an accident" thing

Flint · 06-03-2008, 12:02 AM

Yeah, good thing that cop was there. Serve and protect.

Cloud · 06-03-2008, 12:07 AM

Remember, these are Mexican cops. More like the Decepticon cop: "to punish and enslave"

they had it coming. you know these are the schmucks that normally ride on roads that follow creeks through the woods that have no shoulder.....that constantly cause near accidents, and then give you attitude for blowing your horn as you pass them. yet another reason that i wish i kept a paintball gun in my car.

LJ, sometimes I think you're all right.

This isn't one of those moments.

is that some guys helmet coming off or his whole head?

jaufrec · 06-03-2008, 02:55 AM

lumberjim, are you saying that these cyclists are of a type who constantly cause near accidents by breaking the law or riding in an unsafe manner? Or are you arguing that their mere presence on certain roads is unsafe and puts the burden of responsibility on them in case of a collision?

fisrt off, for all of you who are too stupid to detect irony, I personally believe that the driver should be exterminated for his deeds. These bicyclists were doing it right, and OBVIOUSLY didn't have this coming.

that said......Don't you just fucking hate bicyclists? here's a list of why jinx and I hate them:

1. they always choose 'Creek Rd' to ride on. trust me, there are 3 different Creek Rds near here, and they plague all 3.

2. the sexy little outfits they wear just smack of effort

3. dar512 is a dirty bitch

4. they cop a fucking attitude when you graze them with your passenger side mirror and blow your horn while you flip them the bird and scream. (another joke, dumbass)

5. Aliantha can suck it.

6. They're attention whores who want everyone to look at their asses,.

7. the stick up Dana's ass has a stick up its ass.

8. theyre too cool for the 'bike lane'!

9. nephtes likes little boys

10. eat me.

How in the world is anyone supposed to see the irony in this? Where is the hint that would tell us this comment was made with a wink and a nudge? I'm sure you could pull this off in person, LJ, but it doesn't come through in text.

Having said all that, I really apologize.

'Cause I never would have criticized you like that if I knew it was your time.

I think i need to put those penis tips back.. C'mon. Would anyone -ANYONE- really blame the cyclists? Please.

Oh wait.... let's take a different tack. Maybe, if you took that comment at face value, it means you can see grounds for blaming the cyclists.... maybe, deep down, you really think they HAD IT COMING, but know that's the wrong thing to admit. Maybe you protest too much?

No. Not even LJ.

But I do think LJ has an issue with cyclists. Putting that rant in this thread seemed pretty cold-hearted.
