Well, after seeing him in day-glo tights, you can't really blame them, can
you? :-)

As to the military angle, if he talked like this in bars with Navy,

Marines
or Army guys, its pretty likely he'd have gotten his ass kicked

regularly,
and at the very least, he would have been ( would still be) visiting

the
brig on a regular basis. More likely, if he does hang out with other
military types, he talks differently than he does on AMB.


I don't think you have a clue how people of certain backgrounds and
capabilities interact.
If you did you would understand that there is a camaraderie within certain
groups
(especially Special Opns). It's rough; it's loud; and it's sometimes
physical.

In this case, we are not talking about a situation where any camaraderie
exists---the posts here in comparison, are to near total strangers. I doubt
you are trying to say that SEALs that are wondering around within the
public, typically are rough, loud, and physical to people they don't know.

Most people don't letter in team sports,


Me, me! I lettered in rifle shooting (honest, no kidding) at URI in 1973/4. A
great year.

I'm pretty sure that's not what I meant by team sports =P

In Collserola there are plenty of tracks that you can pass with a rigid
bike or hardtail, but you don't enjoy them, because you were braking all
the time and with a severe risk of falling due to plenty free rocks. Not
about technics.


A-hah! We obviously have a different concept of "fun". That sounds great to
me.
Life is all about the differences. ;-)

Ah, this would explain why football players are so meek and
non-confrontational off the field. ;-)


Each major sport creates its own dynamics....As to your comment, I've never
had any football player act confrontationally to me off the field--in
person. Have you?


I have, on several occasions. High School & college. Soccer
players, nope. Baseball players, nope. Basketball, yep. Lacrosse
players, nope. (Maybe that's because I played lacrosse, but whatever.)

I know absolutely nothing about this :-) :-)


In my school, it was the euphonium / valve trombone player, who also
lettered in golf despite never breaking 90.

I know SEALS who are all of that and more but no that's not what I'm saying.

You missed my point but for the life of me I don't feel like explaining
it...............

It's a lot like talking to a doorknob, isn't it. Only less rewarding.

See previous post. Bikes were attached properly. Problem=design flaw.


Yeah, blame it on a "design flaw". You're funny.


Well, each bike was attached at a different time, by different people, yet
both were coming off. The design incorporates a lot of "bounce" due to the
hinge feature that allows fold-down for SUV hatchbacks. We'd double-checked
installation to ensure that it had been done correctly as well. This is the
first time this particular rack had been on the freeway. The rack bounced
the bikes right off the end . .

Hmmm, every non-egghead I know who uses a rack like that backs up the
fastening system with straps or bungees. Now go back to your books.
