Unicycles on School Buses and Communist bus Drivers

Get a Hollow body guitar gig-bag and your unicycle should fit
right in there...the perfect disguise




That's a good idea, almost the right size. But since unicycling is
becoming bigger and they're making quite a few gagdets for them, they
should really make unicycle specific bags that will hold up to a 29"
wheel and not require any disasembling. I for one would buy one.

Hey also, does anybody happen to know the rule for airlines. When they
give you a number that the h+w+l can't be over, what happens if it's a
made to fit bag? Then the top part would be much smaller than the
wheel/bottom part, so how do they calculate that?

they measure the tallest point the longest point and the widest point I
think..... I'm not sure though so don't take my word for it....

Ok Hitler=Nazi but he ran a communist type socieity....its just a
generalization..everyone knows what i mean..



nazi = national socialist = extreme nationalism = fascism

communism is on the other side of the political spectrum.

simply speaking, at both extremes of the political spectrum, regimes
can seem somewhat similar in their totalitarianism.

they both rely on having a director with absolute power who enforces a
way of life upon the citizens of the regime.

according to "Wikipedia"

In modern Western countries, the political spectrum is usually described
along left-right lines, based on the seating of the liberal and
conservative members of the Legislative Assembly of France in 1791,
where liberal and conservative were partly defined by attitudes towards
the ancien regime. (See section Historical origin of the terms.) This
traditional political spectrum has come to be defined along an axis
with socialism and communism, ("the Left") on one end, and nationalism
and Fascism ("the Right") on the other.



there are multidimensional models of the political spectrum, however
the way i tend to look at things is imagining the political spectrum as
something of a horseshoe shape with communism on one end, naziism on
the other and more moderate views towards the middle- conservatism on
the middle right and labour (uk parliamentary parties) on the middle
left. liberal democrats are supposed to be closer to the centre, but
tending towards the left a little i think.


..... aaaanyways, did you ask her about her rationale for preventing
your boarding the bus with the unicycle? from what i can imagine,
reasons may range from safety (if she thinks it is unsafe due to it
taking on a life of its own and holding the members of the bus
hostage)

...to issues with space (she may invoke an argument running along the
lines of 'the larger the object, the more related to school activities
it must be', which would allow your 300lb school colleague; as he
wouldn't be able to participate in any school activity without himself,
and instruments such as keyboards, pianos, drum kits etc.)

...to a deep seated psychological fear of unicycles due to some
horrible scarring she got in childhood of seeing a scary looking clown
clowning around on a unicycle (in which case you must insist that you
are curing her of her fear by getting the scariest looking unicycle you
could possibly find with pinned pedals and big fat scary looking nobbly
tire and exposing it to her for a short period of time. of course,
because she is driving the bus, i would be careful of this one. her
jitters could cause her to drive rather erratically which would be
dangerous for you.)

i would suspect that her unwillingness to let you board the bus may lie
more in the aforementioned reasons as opposed to her particular
ideologies, but we will never know unless she is prepared to share her
reasons with you. jumping to conclusions and branding her with
unfounded allegations as to her political allegiance is just as bad as
her accusing you of being a terrorist attempting to board a school bus
with a weapon of mass destruction. has she done this? if so, i would
not suggest stooping to her level. use your superior intelligence and
charm to win her over.

peace

shall i dignify that with a response? Damnit! i just did

ooh, and @ epistolize, great post man, great post. The only thing is, i
would say that the political spectrum is a near circle, with a small
gap inbetween the far right and the far left
