BSNYC Appealingly Minimalist Scandinavian Design At Bargain Prices!

Look, I'm not going to waste your time.  You're busy.  I'm busy.  Actually, I'm not busy at all.  Nevertheless, I want to get right into this quiz, because the sooner we finish with it the sooner we can all get out of our pants and into the weekend.

But first, I've received an important bit of information from a reader, which is that a Juggalo bike thief is on the loose in Santy Cruise, Californy:

Maybe he’s just messing with our heads, or maybe we should keep on eye on him. He’s an obese, white male with light brown to blond hair, about 6’2″ tall. Tattoos on both arms; left arm is a crab, right arm is some kind of stylized running man the Insane Clown Posse Juggalo logo. His green backpack with a camouflage pattern looks like about an 8 liter capacity. The trucker cap says “Ontario Heating & Air.”

As I've always said, if you solve the Juggalo problem then you solve the bike theft problem, and if you don't believe there's a Juggalo problem than watch this video again, which I posted once before and which I learned about from Klaus of Cycling Inquisition:


American Juggalo from Sean Dunne on Vimeo.

I wonder if there are any Jewish Juggalos.  I'd be shocked if there were, but you never know.

And now, 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 Prof. Russolo and His Noise Intoners.

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and stay out of those pants until Monday.
