But, sometmes bad things do happen to bad people.

Few years ago, I'm in my cage and I was first in line to turn left once I got the green light. Light turned green, I slowly began to pull forward, and this ******* blows the red light, crosses in front of me going the direction I'm about to go, I hit the brakes and horn, he gives me the finger and keeps going.

But, sometimes you just have to believe there is a God. Because at the light across from me is the police. He hits the lights, follows the ******* and pulls him over. As I slowly drive past the cop, I give him the thumbs up sign and he smiles. I then stop momentarily along the *******, honk the horn, give him the finger and just start laughing.

There has never been and never will be an emergency in that town.
How pathetic. Getting a little bored waiting for the apple festival in Delonega?
Oktoberfest will be here soon enough and you can do the chicken dance in Helen.
There's an apple festival in Dahlonega?! Awesome! Gold Rush Days, the Smith House and now an Apple Festival! Just one more reason to ride my bike through the gorgeous North Georgia Mountains. And, Helen! The state HOG rally, Oktoberfest and more! Even MORE reasons to ride my bike through the gorgeous North Georgia Mountains.

Living in Gainesville - or close proximity thereto - rules!

There used to be a McDonalds on 400 that had vintage bikes on display.
Make an effort to ride up to the Braston (sp?) bald during the summer. Bring your binoculars and check out the view of the nudist camp from one of the overlooks on the ride up.

and him being new to this forum is important in what way? just because a person is new is not a reason to to be ragging on him....
f i remember right everyone was new to this forum at one time or another

Im pretty sure the McD's that your talking of still has the old bikes on display. Unless something has changed in 2 years since I have been in there. I didnt want this post to be a pissing match with other posters. Sometimes I might say things that at the time to me dont sound that bad but then looking back on it I find that I should stick my boot in my mouth, MMMMMMMM boot tastes good.

Dumb people everywhere.

One of the dumbest I ever seen at work was, A "FOREMAN" called us, I was in Maintenance.

Varnish oven conveyor jammed. "RED" paint 15 ft all around it, that means no F*uking open flame or spark of any kind near it, might go "KABOOM". Now at GM it wasn't a little oven, its 12' high, 10' wide, and 40' long.. with liquid varnish and solid varnish from 1 end to the other.

While talking with Fire watch Security this DA forman walks up and lights a cigarette and just looks at us, when we turned around and saw him the security guard and I both went off on him, after we cleared the RED zone his answer was Hey guys I was only there for a minute.....

Did you know that there is a Blue law in Gainesville that it is against the law to eat Chicken with a Fork?

Look at it this way. You started a great thread.

Is the BBQ place still there accross from the graveyard? I used to go there when we set up the "Super"(I still chuckle at that designation) K-mart. Walking in and seeing that huge open spit was always a treat.

I tend to park in the handicaped spot at my apartment building. I live in a complex of 25 apartments and I live on the end one and take up the end space. There are 8 handicaped spaces in my complex and nobody that lives there is handicaped let alone will any handicaped person park in the one infront of my apt because it would take them a hell of alot of walking to get to there place of visit since I know they aren't visiting me. I just park in this spot for quick run ins to the apt and when I work on my bike. Other than that I obey the law and park in only suitable parking spots at stores. But I look for parking spots that people can see my bike and not run it over.
I have too many friends that are EMT's/firemen/ and police and they always complain about some dumbass taking up the emergency parking spots.
