I'll bet here's quite a few here that know what my sign-on name is all about.
From a far-off exotic land, long long ago.

Some people will do anything for attention. Neighbor has spent $25K on his bike with upgrades to try to win awards at bike shows, and rarely wins. Yet he keeps throwing stuff on there hoping that people will come up and look at his bike. He actually tries to get people to stop and ask him about his bike when he's sitting in a lot ("hey, just had my bike painted, what do you think?", etc.).

To each their own. If it makes him happy, more power to him.
