O hell, flourescent letters are probably quite nummy but-

Christopher D - you are talking* city traffic * and I thooughly agree with you there.
I'm talking state highway (73 to be precise) traffic - with NO cycle lanes whatsoever, and areas where motor vehicles are warned about narrowing of roadwidth.We slow down where it is warranted BUT-
cyclists do not (see this emphasised in big gory flourescent letters)
belong on the main road here.

Many thanks for the link giovanni! Mark Fiore's animations reminded me, through 8 long years, that the US of A was waaay way better than the Shrubya's lot tried to reduce it to-

Ooo, go there, steven! We've had traction engine journeying conventions turn up in big O, and are they polite and considerate road users? Definitely. Slow - but pull over as soon as is practicable.

Stephen Judd, one of my nightmares of driving on West Coast S.I roads is cyclists. Many many of them are overseas visitors. They seem to assume that ANZ road rules mean nothing to them - as guests of the vountry, they can bike how they like.

O, would really like to dine on alligator (anything that dines on us is fair game I reckon-) but - as I dont have a passport- it's up there with the tarantula crispies...

Have tried croc in Oz - really enjoyable (young farmed things.) Good texture, fairly bland meat - but the sauce - o my! (At Stephanie's.)

Linger, totally agree with first two propositions.
But the 'him' (and it's most likely to be a him using the word 'slut' - unless you're a 14yrold girl of course - some of them seem to use it as a term of endearment) is a nebulous entity & is not, *not*, tied to the Chuck Bird entity.
