Edmonton indeed!

Great news, Paul! All the best to both of you!!

Well, a little research will show that helmets do indeed increase the risk of certain injuries in motorcycle accidents, while reducing the risk of others, particularly if one opts for the full-face variety helmet. The thing is, the injuries that helmets prevent are far more common than the ones that they cause, so this argument advanced by Mr. Weir is rather foolish. Helmet statistics are tough to read anyway, as a full-face helmet, an open-face helmet, a half-helmet, and those moronic beanie helmets that "tough guys" wear to meet the legal minimum are all entirely different animals. As an example, if you break down a full-face helmet into zones of likely impact in an accident, the most common point to be impacted is the chin area. Naturally, this isn't the case with the other types, as they don't have any chin protection... By the way, Alexander, if I understand you correctly, her helmet was just a shell? If so, this was pointless, as it's the collapse of the inner material that cushions a blow to the head, not the hard outer shell.

Wow. I tried playing Snurdy McGurdy in the car with the wife, so I knew better than to try to play any of this box when she was around...

Well, while I agree that some unions got out of control (the whole organized crime thing, for example) given the benefits unions have achieved, I'd say that on the whole they've been a very good thing. Of course, if child labor laws, the forty hour work week and all aren't things you value, I could understand...

That is the most moronic statement I've ever seen on this board, outside of the political forum. It's a form of transportation, for crying out loud. Anything else you'd like to ban? Skateboards? Bicycles? Perhaps walking itself is a form egotism; after all, you have absolutely no protection. Certainly professional athletes should never bathe, as the bathtub is where most accidents occur anyway. Frankly, I find nothing wrong with BruceW's post, but the response is truly moronic. Sorry, Moose. Care to explain?

I wish I'd held on to it, but a few years back Linn's Stamp News reprinted an article from way back when about someone actually doing this. Saved some money, I guess, but jeez...

Heaven help me, I likes it!

I'm on the fence as well. I can't believe they aren't just releasing everything. This is not only great TV, it should be required viewing for anyone entering the military. Yes, Bilkos really exist!

Exactly. So do not go near the CD shelves...

He's the ass for not wearing a helmet, Moose. Some car drivers have difficulty seeing motorcycles on the road, so it really doesn't matter how "safe" Ben says he drives. I guess we use the term "ass" differently; I assumed Chris's "fool" comment covered the lack of helmet.

I kind of agree, Stereojack, but I bet it doesn't get thrown out.

Yeah, the car driver pulled in front of him (no, I haven't heard, but I guarantee that's what happened) and will walk, but he's the ass...
