BSNYC Lighter-Than-Milk Friday Fun Quiz!

(My Submission to "Beehive Gallery")

Firstly, you may recall that yesterday I mentioned a bike with a rubber-wrapped cockpit:

Well, subsequently I was pleased to hear from the owner of the bike--who, as it happens, "curates" a blog about pizza:

So, if you're one of the millions of people who enjoys the taste of delicious pizza, be sure to pay "Slice Harvester" a visit--or, failing that, to at least go out and enjoy a slice of delicious pizza covered in the toppingway of your choice.

Moving on, as most people know by now there was a big kerfuffle, or mishigas, or "cockfabulation" (I just made that one up) yesterday over some anti-cyclist comments made by some ESPN guy named Tony Kornheiser and which I'm not even going to bother to link to here but which you can easily find by employing a popular search engine. Inasmuch as I don't really pay attention to any sports that don't involve bicycles (apart from the caber toss, which is so totally going to be the next cool ironic sport after dodgeball, at which point I will abandon it), I have to admit that I didn't even know who the guy was. (I detach myself from the world of non-cycling sports as assiduously as the Amish eschew technology, or as thoroughly as most "hipsters" divorce themselves from adulthood.) Furthermore, since yesterday was what meteorologists call a "lovely day," I refused to even listen to the "Kornheiser tapes," opting instead to take an unprecedented four hour lunch break and test out my Folgers bike. (Result: it works.)

Eventually, though, I did listen, and as I suspected it was a rehash of the usual bit we've all heard already from various radio DJs wherein the host goes on about how bicycles belong on the sidewalk and how drivers should hit them with their cars while various people guffaw in the background. Obviously, this is irritating, but at the same time I don't worry about it too much. What's essentially happening is, the "cheap joke pool" is shrinking, and now that you can't get away with making fun of minorities, women and homosexuals anymore people who like to seem outrageous are forced turn to cyclists out of desperation. In a way, it's indicative of the fact that the "old media" is taking its last gasps (or at least that an old reporter's career is taking its last gasps). I gather he even tried to poach the subject of women not too long ago (even though it's officially off-limits now) and got called on it:

Anyway, as we all know by now, no less a personage than Lance Armstrong jumped on Tony Kornheiser faster than a Fred jumps on a Cat 2's wheel in the park, and predictably he apologized immediately:

Furthermore, Armstrong is appearing on the show with Korheiser as I type this (or, more accurately, as my helper monkey Vito types this), presumably to upbraid him further. And that, one would hope, will be that.

With that out of the way and with a sun-tacular weekend ahead of us (at least in New York), I'm pleased to present you with a quiz. As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer. If you're right you'll know, and if you're wrong you'll see "An inspiring serenade of instincts!"

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, lose your concern, and get happy.
