Some of these would actually be quite clever comedic writing if done intentionally

"Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever." Good use of irony for example.

Funny whether they're intentional or not

I am not expecting to see the sort of wear from a road tyre that you get on a raced/tracked tyre,
From your previous comments that’s less that clear.

As I said previously, I don’t believe you can do that to a road tyre safely, apart from as you say Road racing, so we can agree on this point then I take it ?

Joe if commanding your respect requires riding on public roads to that extent, I’ll pass thanks. O and feel free to question anything, but surely you don’t need me to tell you that.

I’m reluctant to comment on things I don’t have all the facts on, but if drawn,

Surely she should know 170 is more that possible on the speedo, but doesn’t mean the road speed was what was indicated, and riding an R1 this should have been even more evident, unless of course the speedo has been calibrated to be more accurate than factory.

I had an indicated 140 on the SV speedo and with three gps’s they only indicated 131, and I know the error increases the faster the speedo reads.

hey I did ask you to "clarify" as I was obviously having dificulties understanding what you were suggesting, so don't get all righteous and holier than thou on me.
Bad choice of words, I’m agnostic so “Holier” isn’t something I’m ever going to be, but I haven’t called anyone a b*llsh*er, so far.

Though not, well a triumph triple is something different to both ( and a modified one even more so), and judging by your responses perhaps being familiar with them would make my comments more understandable to you.

How's that, got to go, I'll try to re-visit this afternoon for rebuttal

WTF is all that about? Derail? Jeez! I thought I'd gone through a time warp or something and landed in the middle of a totally random set of events.

Original post very funny though.


Made I chuckle, see.

John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long it had rusted shut.

He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

Her artistic sense was exquisitely refined, like someone who can tell butter from "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter."

The dandelion swayed in the gentle breeze like an oscillating electric fan set on medium.

It was a working class tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with their power tools.
These are all ace. I thought it was all going to be crap similes and metaphors, not deliberate ones.

I remember that at the time. Rictus took quotes from about 5 pages of a particular thread. 20 minutes work Would have taken me 20 hours. No actually it wouldn't have taken me anytime at all as I wouldn't have had the patience.


As for the original thread here. Damn funny.
