I very occasionally ride on the wrong side of the road.

Again... no shock. I often think that you and rumrunn6 and either brothers, aliases for the same troll, or something.

You are going to have to give me your home address, so I can visit and piss in your Cheerios each and every morning. I can think of nothing less that would justify your consistently and unprovoked snotty behavior toward me. Go pick a fight with someone else, I'm not playing.

Entering a one-way street the wrong way and knowing it's safe is just like entering a two-way street and knowing it's safe. There's this thing now called looking.

I'd have thought it obvious, but the situation that I'm thinking of is when a car enters the street after you have. This thing called looking won't help you then.

If you can't function without an unvarying rule, and are deficient at reading larger pictures, you should probably just follow other people's rules. It's not as safe as being able to judge each situation on its own merits, but the 80/20 rule is better than none.

If you can't participate in a discussion without creating strawmen and using ad hominem, you should probably shut down your computer and go try that sort of behavior on real live humans for a while. It's not as safe as doing it from behind your keyboard, but you probably will learn after you get sufficient real live feedback.

Somehow, I think responding to someone by telling him you're going to "piss in your Cheerios each and every morning" is "playing."

bat, if it's this upsetting to keep losing games you initiate, maybe you should put me back on ignore.

Does anyone else find it amusing and ironic that the tag line on each post of the person who posted this attempt to justify taking a risky shortcut is "anything worth my time is worth my best effort"?

Bike Salmoning... I do it to for exactly 1 block and I feel so dirty.
