A new chapter in unicycling
The Independent: a newspaper in the UK. Slightly left leaning rather smug middle class, but less rabidly political than the other broadsheets. In the Saturday supplement they have a one page interview in which they ask the same questions every week of a minor celebrity. It gives the interviewee a chance to present themselves in a good light, displaying their fashionable green, slightly arty, concerned parent, blissfully happily married credentials. It's usually pretentious codswallop. This week, the minor celebrity is Peter Serafinowicz, "Actor and Comedian, age 36" who chooses to use the interview to showcase his zany off the wall sense of humour. Yawn! But one amusing answer. The question each week is either "I ride..." or "I drive..." and his answer to "I ride a Harley Davidson unicycle. I bought it from a Hell's Clown." Nice idea. There used ot be some posters int his forum who called their gang "Hell on Wheel" - I loved the singular. Hells Angels (there is no apostrophe) are not angels. Unicyclists are not (usually) clowns. We should form an international brotherhood of badd ass unicyclists. Harper for President! Who's going to design the Hells Clowns logo and get some patches made up? Here's a link to an inspirational picture of the original Hells Angels logo (trademarked): http://tinyurl.com/5hnmo3 And here is a link to a randomly selected picture of a clown: http://tinyurl.com/6dxct2 -- Mikefule "We shall do best to think of life as a process of disillusionment, since this is, clearly enough, what everything that happens to us is calculated to produce."

I really like this idea, and I think my avatar fits well with this topic. I do like the "Hell on Wheel", makes me laugh, though I don't remember the particular gang you mention. Being a biker too, I'd love to be a Hell's Clown. -- MattyJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MattyJ's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11583 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/72567 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

The following (from Wikipedia) seems to have some parallels. -The term bohemian, of French origin, was first used in the English language in the nineteenth century[1] to describe the untraditional lifestyles of marginalized and impoverished artists, writers, musicians, and actors in major European cities. Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or antiestablishment political or social viewpoints, which were often expressed through non-marital sexual relations, frugality, and/or voluntary poverty.- No mention of biting the heads off bats or raping old ladies at all! -- Gadge "All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them." - Galileo Galilei. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gadge's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17136 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/72567 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

In view of the Hells Angels' reputation for traumatically percussive "litigation", can I just disassociate myself from that remark? -- Mikefule "We shall do best to think of life as a process of disillusionment, since this is, clearly enough, what everything that happens to us is calculated to produce."

There was even a uni-gang turf war between Hell on Wheel, based in Virginia / D.C. and Thunderwheels, based in Pensylvania, though claiming membership all over the world. I have a Muni Militia T-shirt from a while back. http://tinyurl.com/63j5m7 -- sockmonster www.unicyclemax.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sockmonster's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4286 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/72567 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
