Ah, an injunious get-out there, Denny.

While we're having a civil discussion, here's a thought of mine:

No one, short of a mod, has the right to order another participant to stop posting. Agree, disagree, but don't try to simply shout someone down.

And before someone tries to accuse me of hypocrisy, let me point out that while I may be guilty of a lapse of decorum in trying to get someone off my back, I was merely protesting my right to post freely here so long as I don't break the rules.

Most folks go for "Se-qwee-um".

There's a point. See? You DO have the right. But it carries the weight of a fly's wing, doesn't it. How you react is on you.


FWIW, mods don't really issue orders. We have laid down the law and let people know it's up to them. For me there's a difference.

Then they have to be wrong. I read it in Wikipedia, after all.

Hello? Coffee??

No, you were right. It's pronounced Squim or Skwim. I was referring to how most folks mispronounce it. Some of the Chinook Jargon up that way can really twist you up.

Edit: never mind, I now get what you were saying when I thought you didn't get what I thought you were thinking I was saying.

I'd pick the squim version, the K is a bit much

Rob, please....what did that have to do with being dumb enough to ride a motorcycle in the winter?

i used to ride in the winter. all real men do.

eric

[I.D.10-t]

Bacon donuts for everyone, on me.

I didn't know they existed. These have maple frosting.

You go ahead. I am a simple man with simple needs: just your unmessed-with, basic, buck-naked, plain cake donuts for me, thanks. Others may find them boring, but I find them sublime.

I've ridden all winter.

San Joaquin valley and in western Washington.
The valley was much better,
the rain at freeway speed is not enjoyable.

I was once driving home from a summer job and saw one of my co-workers whiz past me on I-95 doing probably 75 ( 120 kph). In a driving rain. On a motorcycle. With no helmet. I talked to someone else who saw him a few miles later who said his face was beet-red and swollen, but he hadn't slowed down.

I like bacon and doughnuts, but not one on top of the other.

lol i tried that once. it hurts! you have to consider the rain drops are hitting you at 75 mph... it feels like bbs from a bb gun or something. imagine being shot by a bb gun over and over... i pulled over.
