> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ShotgunZen \* > \*\ ***mipiace** I just sold a '81 Yamaha XV920RH. Sort of a european touring look bike. Had a lot of neat features, 920 CC V twin, and very low miles. I bought the bike from a friend who’s wife was making him get rid of it. It never fit me very well though. Thus the low miles. > I’m envious of your riding exeriences. This > sounds like something straight out of a Danniel Steel novel. It’s only missing the picnic in the alpine meadow. Oh, and the bodice ripping 🙂 \*\* Well as appealing as that sounds there was no bodice ripping. We were ONLY friends. The guy was the one I sent the photo of a few pages back and we were wearing leathers so it would have been difficult to rip anything off. Alpine lunches were generally in scenic little restaurants and generally with a group of other people on bikes. It’s a popular thing to do On the weekends in Europe and yeah I have to admit riding the Alps on a Ducati is pretty amazing. Riding on the back with a hot guy in leathers is pretty amazing too even if he is only a friend. 😉 ---

Hey it’s 11 here and we’re all still in our jammies… that’s gotta count for something! If it weren’t for the need for groceries and diapers we would never leave the house! My kids are going to be hard pressed to answer the ‘what do your parents do’ question when they start school… Um mommy reads the straight dope and feeds us and stuff and daddy plays on the computer and stuff… ---

I…I…I don’t remember angry rabbits… I remember several pages on the appropriateness of number and type of flowers, How many calls is considered stalking, even what’s the best six cyl engine, but I don’t remember angry rabbits. (Well except as it pertains to the Python quote about the Holy Hand Grenade.

Hummmmm I’ve still got some leathers, is it Ok if in YOUR mind I’m a hot guy? 🙂 Whoo! Hoo! Hang onto your hats folks. It’s showtime. Just got the e-mail announcing 20% cut in salary positions, starting immediately. One person in five will be gone. I’m looking for four losers to hang out with. I’m leaving for our weekly seance with all the other computer guys in this plant (we get together chant, and try to call up spirits of all the dead operating systems we currently use). Hope my stuff is still here when I get back 🙂 ---

Holy Snikey’s Zen…is it contagious in here? I’m sorry, I think I started this virus with my RIF notice a couple months ago. DAMN, we are all getting the axe at once. We are going to have to start this band quick and play for money. And of course Zen, wear leathers, you can be my hot guy. lets go ride the Alps this Sunday. I don’t care if you are employed or not. ---

\*\* If6\*\*Ah right, right, the fur covered flogger. Now I remember 🙂 **mipiace** Great, I’ll bring the bike, and maybe arrange for a picnic in the scenic mountain clearing. Of course you have to promise to wear the perforated leather (for easier bodice ripping) and promise not to break into the [Julie Andrews] The hills are alive with the sound of music[/JA] Although come to think of it you singing that wearing leathers shot from overhead as you twirl about is rather fetching… LOL Wait a second it’s not about the singing, it’s about you in the leather 🙂 And I appreciate you letting me be the hot guy. So The cuts won’t actually begin until next week. Giving everyone the weekend to stew about it. I’m not really to concerned, although I probably should be \ Oh well. More updates as warranted ---

IIRC, an angry rabbit is a strap of leather that is soft and furry on one side. Spank with the leather side, soothe with the furry side. Z’at right **White Ink**? 🙂 ---
