Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Why?

That's why you need to make the jump to Mountain Biking. All the endorphins and the weed, plus we listen to good guitar rips at the after ride! And talk about stupidity and dooshbaggery!

That's a sad comment on our society. Of course it's a bad thing to call someone.

This almost makes it sound like I'm calling akeelor a dooshbag, but I am not, I am only pointing out that my grammar wisdom does extend to typical NY Metro Area profanity.

Try working in a shop and dealing with the typical "enthusiast" customer 40 hrs a week.

That might just be the tint of his skin from the blood thinner though.

It's complicated. As the OP states:

Anyone who talks about comrades is obviously a Communist -- which anyone from the Cold War era (such as pcad) will tell you is bad. As camaraderie is the flip side of dooshbaggery, I can see how someone could think being a doosh would be a good thing. Either that or this forum is populated by nitwits.
