In Defence of the Squid

[mydlyfkryzis]

I'm amazed at the response it got frankly. Not cool. Do you guys have any sense of humor at all? It wasn't Dave Berry, but it was an attempt...

Heck, it wasn't even Dave Barry http://www.davebarry.com/

Though I don't know if Dave Berry (MTV Announcer in the UK) is actually funny.

My fav vid is the one of that guy who wheelies naked... then does a stoppie, followed shortly by an endo naked.

He's EXTREME DUDE! Lets go drink some Mountain Dew BECAUSE WE'RE EXTREME! And have some EXTREME CORN POPS! BECAUSE WE BY EXTENSION ARE EXTREME!


Do not confuse idiocy with bravery. Narrow though the line may be.

OK you guys heard it! Sev likes to watch guys wheelie naked!

I wouldn't be surprised.

Damn a milk insult from you. That's like a squid calling me unsafe. OUCH!

I think I just fell off of my bed laughing

I've encountered a lot of criticism aimed at the adventurous on this site, a lot of strong words for what the more opinionated among you refer to as Wing Commanders, donors and squids. You spew much venom at the suntanned kids showing off their shiny new motorcycles in uptown. You have gotten arrogant in your snug safety suits.

While you're busy picking color-coordinated outfits and DOT approved helmets, these brave souls are out there testing road safety with nothing between them and the pavement but a speedo and the gyroscopic effect. It's not just any jackass can pop a wheelie down Lake Street in rush hour traffic. It's a jackass with a fast bike and a short life expectancy.

You can badmouth them all you like, but these adrenaline-and-admiration-thirsty young men are exercising their godgiven right to stupidity, and I am vigorously supportive of Man's right to hurt himself. One way or another the herd will be thinned, and I am glad these kids lay their life down on the Interstate; I'd rather go that way, too, instead of baking and bleeding to death in the Iraqi desert.

I'm sure Darwin would agree.

And think about it: who else would provide all these vibrant organs to the ill and needy? Not you safety-first old bags. It's those kind and selfless suntanned kids. What better source for a good working heart than a steaming pile of meat freshly scraped off the hot summer blacktop? It's a fitting contribution to society, god bless them. You know I'm right.

I agree IF they have medical insurance.....

Now that was funny! Don't tell me you guys can't discern thinly veiled sarcasm and wit... the poster had a nice "Dave Barry" approach to his writing.


Sev's sharp witted reply was equally as funny!!!
