Ok so this is kind of in jest and a poke at Road CC for including some very tenuous links to ‘cyclists’ in their articles, this is pretty horrible stuff, arrested for hanging out and literally doing nothing to justify what happened.

These noddy hat wearing wankers are no cycling bretheren I want to ever be associated with, they give all cyclists a bad name …

I think they bloody well invented irony.

And on the backs of involuntary immigrants.

I’ll second Davel’s experience.

We were on holiday in Arizona and wanted to walk about 150m to a restaurant from our motel. No sidewalks and we ended up having to climb through bushes to do it. Americans just don’t seem to understand why people would want to walk and think that you must be retarded.

Unfortunately, we didn’t meet the “most intelligent people” that Davel did. Instead we met people who thought that the reason why we didn’t find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was because they sneakily destroyed them (without any records whatsoever) just to discredit the U.S. and also a bloke in Walmart who couldn’t understand the word “battery”.

I asked for butter in an IHOP five times to no avail, before I gave up and asked for baeddar. I did then see a hummingbird outside the window and all was good with the world.

I quoted it eight bloody times. My computer seems to be having a heart attack, not me.

I think you’re being a bit harsh on our American cousins. After all, they won the Second World War for us, invented the internet, improved our outdated English language, and have made the world a much safer place for the past 60 years. Credit where it’s due, credit where it’s due.

Uhr… none of that is exactly true… But that’s an entirely different topic of discussion.

Uhr. None of it is at all true (even though they’ll claim them). That was my point. 

 My sarcasm detector clearly hasn’t had the internet forum update yet 😉

When did irony die?

 

Poe’s Law

“Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humour, it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism that someone won’t mistake for the real thing.”
