I’m the only one old enough to still use the Bass-o-Matic for seafood prep.

It seems to be a freshwater ciclid
I stand corrected. Chickens are not freshwater ciclids.

Also, freshwater fish are by definition not seafood

Thank God somebody said it!
Is that Dan Aykroyd?
In trying to remember how to spell Aykroyd, I found out that a new White Privileged Misogynist Ghostbusters is coming out next year.

Not just that. It’s pure exceptionalism and nepotism at play here. The director is the son of the director of the original Ghostbusters. I’m so triggered.

That’s a young Dan when he was still in the process of uncovering the ancient alien secrets he used to craft his superb Crystal Skull vodka and roughly 15 years before his cinematic masterpiece, Nothing But Trouble.

That movie would’ve been nothing without Chevy - I liked that movie way more than I should have when I was a kid.
Kind of reminds me of House of a 1000 Corpses a bit
I confess that cyclists give me THE RAGE. When I’m driving they hog the road and snarl up traffic, when I’m walking they ride on the pavements, they never follow road signs/traffic lights/basic politeness. They wear lycra and are more self-righteous than a woke vegan televangelist.
I always swore I’d never ride a bike in London, partly because it’s too damn dangerous but mainly because I didn’t want to be one.
But to stay off the Underground I’ve been riding a Boris bike to work every day this week… and it’s been bloody brilliant! Granted there is zero traffic and it’s been a brilliant summer so far, but this is the most happily surprised I think I’ve ever been.
I just ride in shorts and t-shirt - maybe I need to go full MAMIL…

In the US the cyclists are considered the same as vehicles as far as road rules are concerned. I don’t have much problem, but I live in an area not very population dense.
From the cyclist I have seen, no one has passed this word on to the cyclist.

Lycra shorts and shirt must cut-off circulation to the brain.

The super serious ones who wear jerseys when they ride seem to understand. I can’t stand the average bum who uses the road to ride but then pretends they’re a pedestrian at stop lights. They either need to ride on the road and obey traffic control devices or ride on the sidewalk and act like a pedestrian. Jerks.

This is also true in the UK, but as Pwn noted, the cyclists themselves haven’t got the memo. We’ve even put little “cycle lanes” down the side of the road for them, to help (apart from at traffic lights, where the cycle lane inexplicably extends all the way across the road, directly in front of the much faster cars).
Having spent a little while driving in London a few years ago, I can confirm that central London cyclists are pretty desperate to die. I’ve never seen people try harder to get killed.

I just took a bicycle training class for work and they encouraged us to take the lane on a smaller road so cars don’t try to pass when there’s not enough space.
If you give them a few feet then they’ll pass you, forcing you to the curb where all the road junk lies, and then turn right forcing you to swerve and brake.
It’s every man for himself and the cars win.
I have zero issues with that. My issue is that cyclists should either be normal road users and follow the rules of the road or get off the road. Either one is fine with me, but not both. I don’t even care much if some cyclists do one and some cyclists do the other, we all have different competence levels on a bike, but each cyclist should choose to be a road user or not.

Yesterday I was stuck behind a tandem bike going 4mph uphill on a single lane highway rated at 45mph.
Proudly displayed on the back was a sign that said “Give me 3 feet: it’s the law”
I did contemplate how giving him a foot up the ass WOULD mean I gave him his third foot…

I once pulled over and cited a cyclist for running a stop sign. It gave me great pleasure.

I’ve always wondered how you fine a cyclist when there is nothing on them that would give you their name / address? Could they not just give you a false name and rip up the ticket once you leave?
