How about a guy on a Harley (riding it) while trying to juggle a friggin' cell phone call????????

A) How the hell can he hear?

B) How can he dial, hold the phone while he brakes and shifts????

Not smart.....those are very dangerous roads...have seen some very bad things happen on them roads....and thats why they have all those bike paths...her parents should be slapped around a bit.

Monday morning I saw the same thing
Maybe next time I go there will be a pic next to it of you holding a fifty caught with one.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Talking great thread....BF

gee why didnt i think of that

anyway......wasn't , weren't yesterday but....i saw this stupid kid on a skateboard

being pulled along the side of a major road by another stupid kid riding a moped and their both doing like 20-25 mph....

now i remember doing some WILD stuff too as a youngster, but when passing them i felt wicked uncomfortable
because it wouldn't have taken much at all for the kid on the skate board to loose control
...and go veering off into the traffic suddenly @ that speed and for me to roll right over him....

Three motorcycles change lanes to place themselves in front of me on the highway. The girl on the back of one proceeds to have a conversation with the guy on the other...they're leaning over and slowing rapidly to 35 MPH. No such luck in changing lanes to pass them once we were crawling along at that speed -- everyone was blowing by. I just wanted to hit the gas and plow thru their daytripping a$$es with the truck. Some of us had work to go to. They were lucky it was me behind them, alert and ready with good brakes, or they would have been leather-clad road pizza. Grrrrrrrr-owl!

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

I went to the cape this morning and saw 2 guys in a boat being towed down I-195, almost fell out of the boat taking the Wareham exit!

The funny part was one of these guys was casting a light rod and trying to pitch a lure to the front of the truck that was towing them, talk about IDIOTS!!!!

Of course there were no State Police around at the time, it seems like they're only out there if I'm doing something wrong. oke:

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

If they were that gassed that early in the day, you could have probably sold tickets to the show they put on when they hauled out

That one on 195 is tough to top ... but along the same lines as MAC's..
There is a Toyota (not sure of the model, high end SUV) in my town... with an oversand sticker, next to a mbba sticker, next to a mass audobon sticker, next to a nature conservancy sticker, next to a buy american sticker, and an american flag sticker... what a conflicted soul must be driving that!!, i wonder if they argue with themself while driving. Probably signals left, and turns right as well... I see it parked at the post office some days, but never seen the driver... I'd love to know who they are.

I was on the rotary where Columbia and Morrisey Blvd meet..I was headed toward Dot Ave when all a sudden the car in front of me stops short..I creep up and the left rear door is opened and this young kid is hanging on for his life..Probably about 4 yrs old...Obviously wasnt wearing a f%^&^$ seatbelt and mistakenly hit the handle to open the door...The mother gets out and calmly speakes to the kid and shuts the door and then is off on her way...Damn lucky.....

I'm going where I'm going...

Most stupid thing I saw Friday

Dude picks his way down to a spot -- headlight, bright as a dope scope, on. Okay, maybe he didn't want to bust his stuff. But then he continues to fish with the light on...shining into my eyes, into the water. I hope he shined his light on the 2 keepers RRC and I humped out of there and noticed that we didn't have our lights on the whole time. Annoying little dude.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
