“I walk into someone’s place of work, they shit scared. They know I’m not a cop, think I’ve come to kill ’em. And I would. I’ll kill anybody who crosses me. Know what I mean?”
Lite, “Repo Man”

I have two bikes that I’ve been riding this year. I also have two more bikes in the garage. What to do with these? I would like to sell one, the Bianchi, but the other, an old Specialized Rockhopper, I want to recycle. Fix it up and give it to someone who may make use of it better.
I don’t who would do that, but these guys are close. If you have a few bikes you want to get rid of consider donating to this organization. Now if they only picked up door to door.
Sappy
Avoid the Olympics on NBC. They suck. And it’s all about the people story. What about the sports? Who won the archery? The judo? The women’s weightlifting? Who knows if your watching NBC. You’ll learn more about the adversities of the atheletes than about their sport or their competitors.

Sometimes political commentators can be blowhards hard to listen to and to take seriously especially if they bloviate about the problems of the Democratic party. While not perfect in any sense, and not achieving much for the American people, the Democratic party still strives to make living in the United States better for everyone.
The Republican party? Not so much.
Thomas Frank is supposedly one of the more astute commentators of the political scene. While I don’t doubt that (I had read One Market Under God which was okay), he does put succinctly the problems with the Republican party and the people who come to be its representatives. They are a corrupt bunch of people, because the philosophical underpinnings of the Republican party is corrupt as well. They are beholden not to the people who elect them but to the corporations and the wealthy. They believe government to be THE problem, but still want to work within it. You don’t put the criminals in charge of the police. Why do we do it for our government?
Get this book and see the impoverished ideas of the Republican party.
More Toys?!
Oh, shit! I don’t know about you but these nendoroids from Good Smile Company featuring the girls of the SOS brigade is as cute as GEG! Me want.

Palindromes are just plain fun. I think someone wrote a book that was a palindrome. I doubt that. There are some long ones, but most become gibberish. I have a picture of my VW’s odometer rolling through 100,001 miles. It was cute.
30,000 hits
Sometime over the weekend, maybe Saturday night or Sunday morning, this blog went over the 30,000 hits. Now, this is just since I installed the statcounter counter in 2006. This blog has been going on much longer than that, but I doubt that I had hit half that many.
So, unofficially I am saying that we’re at 50,000 hits, but officially, as the statcounter says, we’re just past 30,000.
Thanks to you for making me surpass this milestone. I hope you keep reading and commenting. Thanks for those looking for cool lampshades, Doobie Keebler, News Radio Quotes, School Rumble #283, Tascha Yar naked, Oksana Akinshina naked, and many other search terms that lead you here. Without you, I couldn’t have made it this far.
