2) My grandfather was born a Quaker in or near Hickory Hill, Pennsylvania. He ran away at sixteen and joined the British Merchant Marine, eventually becoming a ship's carpenter. He never returned to Hickory Hill, and his father cursed him from his deathbed for marrying outside the Society of Friends. I am thankful for gramps' rebellious spirit; I don't think I'd have done well as a backwoods Quaker.
3) My favorite tool, to which I have an indisputable emotional attachement, is thirteen inches long*.
4) I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and have fought in many full-contact tournaments. There's just something about being allowed to punch and kick people without getting arrested...
5) I earned a New York State Regents scholarship in 1974, and used it to augment my alcohol intake during my "studies".
6) I have done two one-thousand-mile days on my Kawasaki Concours, both during a wild ride spanning most of Canada, while returing from a rally in Banff, Alberta.
*a Rocket-brand clawhammer, given to me by my Dad more than thirty years ago. Aren't you ashamed that you have such a filthy mind?

1. According to family lore, which I also never researched, one of my dad's ancestors was Stephen Hopkins, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
2. I was adopted, hence Stephen Hopkins wasn't my ancestor.
3. I spent one whole hour in a Canadian Navy brig.
4. Chewing tobacco wore down my gums so bad I had to have surgery to keep my lower front teeth from falling out. In high school.
5. At one point, we owned 10 different species of parrot. Personally, I've owned everything from parakeets to macaws, and I used to breed cockatiels. Now we have two Congo African Greys, Winston (after Churchill, whose own macaw is still alive, last I heard) and Vinnie (of course!).
6. I collect hot sauces.
Happy now, Bluto, you BASTARD!!!!!
;-)

2. I’m not allergic to poison ivy
3. This week I’ve been struggling with the realization that I need to go buy some more “fat pantsâ€.
4. I dislike cities and larger towns as a place to reside, nothing personal I just like it quiet.
5. No number 5, just because I randomly refuse to do things for no reason.
6. Like to sing, “King of the Road†once in a while.

Unfortunately, I kind of take a dump all over Ayn Rand's philosophy everytime I preach my foreign oil doom-mongering. Don't get me started with my eco-babble...
But the reality is that, like many of my friends among Hollywood's clerisy, I know what's good for you all, and all of society, and that is to drive a cute lil' hybird.
Rational self-interest be damned... you fuckers should do what we elite are going to do when travelling to the Oscars... that is to put society's interests ahead of our own, and drive a hybrid.

I had a CB750 too. It was an 81 or 82. I don't remember, because the front forks were replaced when the first owner crashed it.
It was big and loud and I loved it. Sitting on an engine and riding the wind was cool.
Ir ode that thing all over the state of California--which is the most beautiful and geographically diverse state in the union.
Now I miss my bike.

I'm a man of the world, bitch.
Where have you been? Besides your momma's tit.

I'll correct your grammatical error:
You're the bitch of the world, man.
"Where have you been? Besides your momma's tit."
Your mama's ass.
