Cyclist at war!

We however prefer something SMART)

We can have the revolutionary,

"Yes to the Smart, no to the Stupid Unnecessary Vehicles"

Well, Smart manufacturer better chip in with the revolution.

I don't expect many people here to be revolutionaries... And anyway,
if you were, you'd probably agree with Chavez, but here's an open
letter to the comandante...

Mr. Chavez, Capitalist Crisis will starve your revolution!

I think you were right about the capitalism being in crisis (perhaps
as much as communism), but that can only starve your revolution! Yes,
the petrodollars to finance your social projects (besides the
militarty buildup) will dry up. Well, I have other objections even if
a Petrol Revolution were to work, like Global Warming, but that's too
deep, huh?

That's why I say we need a Banana Revolution. For real, from
Comandante to Comandante.

WHY THE BANANA REVOLUTION?

Report from the Jungle : North sector.

Good news is that with so many Sheriffs and WPB PD around, the
gangsters and crack dealers took a break making for a relatively
peaceful ride back to the Juno bunker

That's true. But it's also remembered by the oil embargo crisis that
forced Americans to change... Hopefully this time toward bicycles.

Report from the Jungle, south: I came out of my bunker and rode on
trails for 2 miles, then kayak, then back on my bike, and another mile
later. No major attack from either big fish or motorists. The rest of
the time in the Internet.

Plenty of news from the jungle though if you go to Google news and
search "law of the jungle"...

This curious news report is from Cuba, a country famous for his lion:

Reflections of Fidel
THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE

Trade, within a society and among countries, is the exchange of goods
and services produced by human beings. The owners of the means of
production appropriate the profits. As a class, they are the leaders
of the capitalist state and they boast of fostering development and
social well-being through the market. This they worship as an
infallible God.

In every country there is competition between the strongest and the
weakest; those with more physical energy, those who are better fed,
those who learned how to read and write, those who attended school,
those who have more accumulated experience, more social relations and
more resources, and those in society who do not have these advantages.

Among countries: those with a better climates and more arable land,
more water and more natural resources in the area where they are
located, when there are no more territories to conquer; those that
master technology, have greater development and handle unlimited media
resources, and those that, in contrast, do not enjoy any of these
prerogatives. These are the sometimes enormous differences between
countries described as rich or poor.

It is the law of the jungle.

The Global Plunge? I believe in the power of crises to regenarate and

either stupid or corrupt.

Bloody poofs.

HOT DOG, WE HAVE A WEINER!
Actually, that's "wiener," with the 'i" before the 'e'.
Because a true wiener is a Viennese sausage, and the word
wiener is etymologically, culturally and geographically
associated with "Vienna."

Graffito: "I am a weiner."

Principal Skinner: Whoever did this is in very deep trouble!

Martin Prince: And a sloppy speller, too. The preferred
spelling of "wiener" is w I E n e r. ...
Although, E I is an acceptable ethnic variant.

Principal Skinner: Hmm. Good point.

Yes, I agree. Even I am trying to break my dependency from banana. For
example, I couldn't have my oats without banana and sugar. But my
girlfriend pointed out it was to better to eat the oats with salt,
which tastes nice without the banana. So now I'm banana free!

I just wished the OIL JUNKIES could do the same. They must be going
crazy with the price of oil and other stuff.

But don't you feel like doing something sane in a crazy world and
getting lost with your bike and a banana?

Well I need some time. I'm not really ready for bikes and bananas on my
oatmeal :-)

A motorbike ... okay. A banana without the oatmeal (or vice versa) okay.

That I can handle. Lol.


Yes, I can handle that too. Riding a motorcycle to the Florida keys is
nice.

I just don't how the banana fits in.

I'm not sure I should remain banana-free with these news reports...

You can even give up your bike, but don't do it after 8pm, if you know
what I mean (there was my mistake)

Are bananas the magic weight loss fruit?

NEW YORK, New York, October 24, 2008 (NBC) -- A weight loss craze that
started in Japan is now in the United States.

It's called the morning banana diet.

It's exactly that, eat bananas in the morning and lose weight.

If there was a magic diet or pill that she could do or take to lose
weight, Kathleen Scalley says she’s probably already tried it.

But what about a "magic" fruit, like the banana.

“Im going to try it I haven't had a banana in years," said Scalley.

The latest fad diet to hit New York City streets is called the morning
banana diet.

“I was told you eat a few bananas and you lose weight. Do you believe
it? “Uhhh...I don’t know,” said Vera Baird.

The plan is that easy. Eat fresh bananas for breakfast or brunch with
water at room temperature.

Eat whatever you want for lunch and dinner.

No desserts or snacks. Don’t eat after 8 p.m. Be in bed before
midnight. And get this, you don’t have to exercise to see the pounds
come off.

Does it work?

How the **** would you know what it feels like to do something sane?
