Really? It's Too Early For This Crap.

Like most people, it takes me awhile to warm up in the morning, and a lot of shit has to happen before I'm ready to face the world.  I need coffee.  I need an elaborate rum-based cocktail, such as a mai tai.  I need a bowl of Lucky Charms, which I enjoy on the toilet.  Finally, I take a leisurely walk around the grounds of my estate while dressed like a country squire, and only then am I able to conduct business with a clear head.

Sometimes though, I make the mistake of checking my email or my Twitter before I've done all of these things.  This was one of those mornings, and as I futzed with my phone I found a Tweet from this fucknugget:
"Who is this putz?," I wondered, and so I checked out his other Tweets:


Evidently he'd been spending the morning Tweeting at everybody about his stupid video.  It's annoying enough to wake up to some mushy shitbag singing about how he hopes cyclists "get hit by a car and die:"


(Mushy shitbag.)

But it's twice as annoying when he's crowing about it all over the Internet, like some fuckwitted hybrid of Paul Revere and Mark Russell.

Anyway, I would have ignored all of this, but then I checked my email and there he was again:


All of this before 8:00 in the fucking morning!  Yeah, I see what he's going for here, but I really don't take kindly to shitty comedians hoping I get hit by a car and die before I've even had my fucking coffee.  Here, watch it again, and try not to want to punch everyone in it in the mouth:



"Who is this asshole?," I wondered, and so I inserted my Google Ass. (Yes, I made the first group of testers for Google Ass, which is the suppository version of Google Glass.  It's a little uncomfortable, but the upside is that nobody knows you're using it on the subway.)

"OK Ass," I intoned, "Who is Todd Dakotah Briscoe?"

Here's what my Ass told me:


People may complain about cyclists in this city, but you know what's an even bigger nuisance?  Talentless NYU graduates who move to Brooklyn and desperately wave their hands for our attention by wishing us dead as they struggle in vain to land a gig on the "Daily Show" or SNL.  Too bad he doesn't realize there's a serious fucking problem in this city with drivers killing pedestrians and cyclists and subsequently receiving what amounts to police protection after doing so, especially since he should know better:

He’s especially interested in telling stories about characters from diverse backgrounds and stories with positive portrayals of the LGBT community.

Wishing cyclists death by car is about as funny as wishing members of the LGBT community death by hate crime.  And since nobody with a brain thinks either of those things is even remotely funny, I don't think this video is going to go very far to advance his comedy career--though it might land him cocktails with that faghag Dorothy Rabinowitz.

Anyway, I certainly don't hope Todd Dakotah Briscoe gets hit by a car and dies, but I do hope he gets priced out of his shitty Crown Heights apartment, has to move to Amsterdam to join some stupid improv group that does lame English-language sketch shows for stoned American backpackers, and then he gets hit by a bakfiets and breaks his toe.

Still, I suppose listening to "Daily Show" rejects wish death upon you is better than being garrotted while you're riding, which a reader informs me has nearly been happening in Northern Ireland:


Mountain bikers using Gortin Glen near Omagh have reported that they are encountering dangerous obstructions across their trails.

Omagh mountain biker Noel Mullen, who uses the glen's trails, said the first traps began to appear about a year ago.

At first, mountain bikers found trees had been pulled across the trails.

But more recently, ropes and fishing line have been found, some tied at head height.

"We would be coming down the trails at 20 mph and there's no way you'd see the fishing line until it's too late, until it gets you," Mr Mullen said.

"If it hit you in the throat and you were going at 20mph, it would seriously hurt you, it would slice you open.

Awful.  You know who thinks that's hilarious though?  Fuckwit here:


Anyway, I can't help wondering if these booby traps are the work of the International Recumbent Conspiracy:



First they create a climate of fear, and then they tell you that on an offroad recumbent you'll limbo right under those deadly fishing lines--or at the very least you'll kick them out of the way with your feet.

Yes, cyclists face many dangers: murderous drivers, wilderness booby-trappers, bike thiefs, shitty comedians...  Fortunately, another reader tells me that the Transit Police in Boston may have found the solution to some or all of these problems, and this solution is cardboard police officers:


“We’re not tied up taking stolen bike reports here so we are more available to respond to more serious crimes that require a police response,” Silen said.

We totally need this in New York City, because if the police don't have to take stolen bike reports they can spend their time doing more important work, like ticketing cyclists.  Actually, I don't think it will be long before the NYPD starts placing cardboard police officers every 20 feet in the bike lane.  Then, when you swerve to avoid it, a real cop will write you a ticket for leaving the bike lane.  Still, I may make up one of these myself and place it next to my bike whenever I lock it.  I think an "offroad version" would also work for thrwarting mountain bike trail booby-trappers.  It could look like Sasquatch--or, even more frightening, Dorothy Rabinowitz.


(How quickly would you void your bowels if you saw this in the woods?)

Anyway, good job by the local news in Boston of totally blowing the cardboard cutout thing.  Now that they know it's fake, those thieves are going to be all over those bikes like Todd Dakotah Briscoe on a cronut.

Lastly, here's an important announcement via Craigslist:

"Wikipedia (Listeni/ˌwɪkɨˈpiːdiə/ or Listeni/ˌwɪkiˈpiːdiə/ WIK-i-PEE-dee-ə) is a collaboratively edited, multilingual, free Internet encyclopedia supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Wikipedia's 30 million articles in 286 languages, including over 4.2 million in the English Wikipedia, are written collaboratively by volunteers around the world. Almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone having access to the site.[4] It is the largest and most popular general reference work on the Internet,[3][5][6][7][8] ranking seventh globally among all websites on Alexa as of July 2013, and having an estimated 365 million readers worldwide.[3][9]

Wikipedia was launched on January 15, 2001, by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger.[10] Sanger coined the name Wikipedia,[11] which is a portmanteau of wiki (a type of collaborative website, from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning "quick")[12] and encyclopedia.

Wikipedia's departure from the expert-driven style of encyclopedia building and the presence of a large body of unacademic content have received extensive attention in print media. In 2006, Time magazine recognized Wikipedia's participation in the rapid growth of online collaboration and interaction by millions of people around the world, in addition to YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook.[13] Wikipedia has also been praised as a news source due to articles related to breaking news often being rapidly updated.[14][15][16]

The open nature of Wikipedia has led to various concerns, such as the quality of writing,[17] the amount of vandalism,[18][19] and the accuracy of information. Some articles contain unverified or inconsistent information,[20] though a 2005 investigation in Nature showed that the science articles they compared came close to the level of accuracy of Encyclopædia Britannica and had a similar rate of "serious errors".[21] Britannica replied that the study's methodology and conclusions were flawed,[22] but Nature reacted to this refutation with both a formal response and a point-by-point rebuttal of Britannica's main objections.[23]"

People like Todd are proof of the success of America. Really, only America can support such foolishness. An affluent, stable, relatively peaceful social environment is conducive to Todd-folk imagining they need to enlighten us with all sorts of distractions and mannerisms that only thinly disguise the depravity of their thinking. Much like evolution tolerates any adaptation at least temporarily, we tolerate Todd-folk because we're successful enough to do so. And Todd-folk, self-centered and clueless as to their assumed superiority, aspire only to write themselves large into the entertainment industry, which is our sole export of value to the rest of the world, and the only thing that millions of Americans relate to and are instructed by. And the rest of the world hates us because of this inane babble that masquerades as culture. Be comforted by the fact that Todd simply would not exist in many parts of the world today…he would be killed soon after his first skit, quite like his easily imagined and moronic dispatch of cyclists.

oysters_rockefeller said...

JB,

That's the USAC/UCI version of mountain cycle bicycling.

Groomed trail, manufactured obstacle sections. CX event time is 40-60 minutes, the other about 2 hours.

The difference between mountaining cycling and cyclocross is that no manufactured sand pits are permitted on teh mountain cycling course.

One more reason the UCI's version of cycling is worthless.

And, if I may rant for a moment, it really pisses me off that people think that bike riders deserve to be killed or maimed because they don't follow all of the traffic rules. First, I didn't know that we now enforced the death penalty for failure to stop at a stop sign. Second, since when do car drivers follow all of the traffic rules? I will gladly observe every traffic law to the letter just as soon as drivers stop speeding, texting while driving, running stop lights, and generally stop trying to kill me.

Absolutely

I've been thinking about getting a recumbent for a couple years. After all what could be better than lying on a hammock and pedaling around. I just borrowed my brother's and you are absolutely right. First time out I went up and down a gravel road. Then graduated to a small area with crisscross streets that has no traffic as you can't really get anywhere. I have yet to go on a real road. Lot's of wobbling all over the place. I'm currently thinking a trike with handlebars up like a chopped motorcycle might be the ticket. But I'll keep trying with this beast.

McFly said...

I am not crazy about kicking animals. Unless they are coming at me with teeth bared and are in my Falcon Kick Radius(tm)....AND I am climbing a mild grade. Then I am all in and all for it.

It usually only takes once then you can ride by there all day. They still don't like you but they will just not like you from the porch or yard.

recumbent conspiracy theorist said...

I don't mind them at all when they stay in their yard. Once they come out into the road though all bets are off.

If I can outrun them which is usually the case it's all in good fun and as mentioned the adrenaline jolt can wake you up on a long ride.

I know the country folks like to let their dogs run free and I get that. It's the country but when they follow me out into the road all snarling with blood lust in their eyes that usually works me up a bit. If they're really acting aggressive and I can't get away I jump off the bike positioning the frame between me and the jaws and yell like madman. They always back down after that.

A handful of gravel from the shoulder works well as does pepper spray. One shot of the spicy stuff and they're back in the yard quick.

It's really scary on the recumbent sitting much lower to the road and a biggie is right beside you snapping those jaws.

I bought a can of bear spray. Works like a champ. You can even spray it behind you, they run into the fog, and go to pawing at nose. Some just never learn, either.

I used peppeer spray twice and both times I managed to get some mild overspray on my leg. I don't know how because I was extremely careful the 2nd time. Combined with the perspiration it spread and got really painful really quick.

Try this, I swear it really works and it blows peoples minds when you do it. Yell "GET OFF THE COUCH!!!" as loud as you can. Them suckers will turn tail. I just really wanted to kick this one.

I no longer am on speaking terms with another regular at my local bar because he ranted that he was going to start deliberately running down all the effing cyclists. When I remonstrated, and pretty amiably, too (I mean, it's a bar, you don't expect temperate opinions all the time), he went on an even more vicious rant. Maybe I'm not the only one who has experienced this.

Yeah it's definately in the delivery. Something about them all being one syllable words shouted is really effective. REMOVE YOURSELF FROM MY SCRANUS is just not the same. Of course I would never tell a bitch to get off my scranus. I am speaking hypothetically and mildly extemporaneously.

Dogs are good judge of character. EVERYONE hates roadies. McFly, were you wearing stretchy pants?

Dogs, like women, do not care WHAT you say, it's HOW you say it. They respond to the alpha, not shaved leg betas.
GET OFF THE COUCH!
IMAFUCKINKILLYOU!
RUN AT ME. SEE WHAT HAPPEN
All the same to a dog.

Do a poppa wheelie.
Let's go for a walk.
Enter the bonezone.
All the same to a lady. Words don't matter, confidence does.

Paulb @1124: I was in a bar once that had a fair number of riders go buy. Every time a bike would go by a veteran bar fly would say "fucker", if more than one went by he'd say "fuckers". That was all he had to say. Not exactly a rant, but still...

I learned to ride on a geared fixie in 1957. It was my dads bike and I have a photo of him the day he got it - must have been about 1935. It had a 2 speed sturmey-archer hub gear. If you got going too fast down hill in low gear your feet were thrown of the pedals and you had to hope like heck that the single front brake would stop you before you got to the bottom.
