My general take on ethnic and other slurs is that, as Whitey McWhiteguy from Whitesville, Whitesylvania, I'm the LAST person who should be deciding what is or isn't offensive.

I do sometimes wonder whether he just stole some pics of a crappy old Schwinn Boat Anchor from Craigs List, and then posts them to burnish his "Fast guy on a **** bike" cred.

Nothing about his pics gives me the impression that he's a formidable rider. Is that something that he claims? Lol.

We switched from (horribly) caring about nationality to (horribly) caring only about skin color (or mostly). Lovecraft was horrified to find he had Welsh in him. Nowadays it's just "white". I had to explain to AG about the racist old man in Community being racist against Finns.
Would be wonderful if we didn't just swap our (collective) biases around and got rid of them...

I need a haircut and a shave so I can reclaim my kempt man status. My hair is starting look like Kelsey Grammer's in the first couple seasons of Frazier. Except white.

Trying to decide what to do tomorrow. Supposed to be 100 for a high and the club rides aren't super exciting. I could drive toward the coast and ride dirt. Probably decide at the last possible moment.

When I lived in Baltimore in the 1980’s, a co-worker used the word Jew’d in the same context (ie ripped-off), I gave him a very angry look but was more shocked than anything. My hope is that is not said much anymore but who knows?

I am riding with my friends today, but it’s my on-call weekend so inevitably I am going to get paged on the ride and have to stop to put out the fire and let my friends go. My hope is I will be able to get in at least an hour with them, but it’s impossible to predict.
I tell my friends that being on call is a great example of the vagaries of the Poisson distribution, but they roll their eyes and think I am crazy. They might be right.

On another forum, it's ok to say ghetto-rigged. I complained but was over-ruled.

"Paged" by your cell phone via text message?
I vote to replace paged with texted. Pagers were gone by the late 90's. TTKU
