Remember that sticker that you 2 gave me when I was in McCall, ID..."this
bike is a pipe bomb"....?

http://www.stickergiant.com/page/sg/PROD/bicycle/mcs134

Well, when I got home, I put it on the top tube of my trackie/fixie bike.
Its been there ever since and proudly displayed...

Last Friday I was waiting in Albert's Pizza for my pie, and saw this news
article on CNN:

I was bent over laughing so hard at the stupidity of the situation, then
remembered that I have the same sticker on my bike...then I started sweating
with the thought of a bomb squad blowing up my prized possession...

That's my alma mater! Yup, I'm a Bobcat. The campus cops were always a
bit twitchy. Even back in the 80's. I remember standing outside the
dorm laundry room when one came up to me and tried to start something by
saying, "you were gonna touch my cruiser, weren't ya?" Being from the
East Coast, I had never even heard that term for a police car, and said
what's a cruiser? If my RA wasn't there to explain my lack of hick
vocabulary, I would have had a nice knock on the head from his club.

I never even went near his cruiser.

Already posted one (not positive it's the situation I heard about, but close
enough). Like I said in the other post, at least the link gives a /little/
perspective to it; not quite as B&W as I'd thought...

UPDATE: same thing right here in Oceanside. No "patriotic" clothing or
expressions..."temporarily".

Uh, the story from Colo. didn't mention anything about illegal
immigrants or insulting anyone. But it's still "close enough",
huh Bill?


I just re-read the article, "Marc" (whoever you are). It /does/ mention
immigration and inflamed tensions. I also said it's NOT as black & white as
I first thought (and might not even be the story I'd heard about) -- but
don't let that stop you from being a judgmental jerk, OK, "Marc"?

BTW, is Colorado 35% Hispanic like that HS student body? I find that
surprising. Surely there must be SOME connection to the current illegal
immigration debate?
