<dem> oh oh oh!  I have an awesome awesome driving story from yesterday.
<dem> I was behind some chick, while on my motorcycle.. and she is weaving all over.. driving erratically, etc.. so we come up to a stop.. and what is she doing?  Typing on her blackberry.  So, the light changes.. and she is busily typing away.. so I give her a little beep to wake her up.
<dem> She gets angry, and waves the blackberry at me, pointing at it.  Like, "hello, I am typing here!!"
<dem> it was so completely, utterly insane.. I was agog.

The other day a guy cut me off and then gave me the finger. I pull up next to him and give it right back to him. Then I'm thinking, "I have a little baby now, I gotta let it go. This guy could pull out a gun and take care of me."

That's what it's come to. It's really best to turn the other cheek when driving. Of course, that's no help when some fuckhead throws his SUV at your Corolla and mangles your side mirror, as happened to me some months ago. The only consolation is that someone with that sort of attitude is bound to fuck up and get caught.

It's worse when you realize that PMS doesn't only last one day.

Like it says, don't look at the math too closely.

we're all aliens, you know...

... so it's always good to bear these things in mind:

  1. Anything that bleeds for a week and still lives cannot be human.
  2. PMS/DMS (the 'D' stands for 'During') is always the best time of the month to send out the female berserker squadron to kill anything that moves. Just stay the fnck out of their way!
  3. Chocolate often leads to armistice, or at least detente.

I racially profile those I flip off. Only very old white women.

On a bicycle community I visit there's an online memorial to a guy struck and killed by a pickup truck. The driver was texting.

...on train seats during rush hours. I understand NYC is fining people a couple hundred dollars for putting bags on seats on public trans there.

I've put one bitch's bags on the overhead rack for her. I got off before she did.

I belive the traditional phrase is something like, "Oh, clucking bell."

I'd like to think of such behaviour as evolution in action, except that the culprit is at least as likely to kill other people.

True, but the other people are statistically likely to be fuckheads too.

Back when I rode the Orange Line to Capitol Hill in the morning I was more than once seized with a barely resistible urge to dispatch some fuckhead K Street lawyer who knocked one or more little old ladies out of his way in making his beeline to an empty seat.
