Enriching Their Folklore

Roadkill 329 Comments

It’s on days like today, with the mercury dropping and a blizzard blowing in, that an urge comes over me to visit the garage and spend a little time with a sleeping Aretha.

(From better times).
After all, we share a few secrets.

  5. I read your biker chronicles before I read the political blog.
    4Y3-00076-hmmm, you have the same ser# as your wheat permit book, maybe, maybe not. I am stumped also.
    My trusty old Honda sits in a winter wasteland waiting for the onslaught of global warning so I can unleash its ancient Asian technology on the bumpy roads of Alberta.

    I need some hits, what can I say.

  9. I got smoked by one of the bikes years ago (I was on my 500 cc Honda). Mind you, the other rider was better too.

  10. If I understand this correctly, this is, to paraphrase a paraphrase, hilarity on stilts.
    Tweaking the tweakers has long been a favorite pasttime of mine as well.

  16. I was out in my garage this afternoon tinkering my 1967 Mercury Cougar XR7. Kate, I know how you feel today.

  17. well done kate mcmillan…the best jeu d’esprit i can remember….it was neat effective and not gaudy….i think you’ve proven beyond any doubt what a gullible easily led suggestible manipulable predictable impetuous fourth rate pantaloon our friend Warman Kinsella is….
    ….how i pity the CJC…..but i reckon Ezra will be highly amused……it’s just so fitting somehow….poetic…it has balance and appropriateness and delicious irony beyond telling…
    ….mind you, the phone number off a minor hockey arena public convenience stall door might have been a titch funnier….mebbe you could try that tomorrow…he’s so bemused with himself he’d fall for it twice…

  22. Cant really tell from the pic if that is an RD or RZ. You don’t see many around anymore. Probably the most fun bike I’ve ever had.
    I used to beat a lot of bigger bikes on it. I didn’t realize it also beats a Kinsella quite handily.
    Truly a thing of beauty.

  23. I can only shake my head at his imaginary world of evil Neo Nazis ( aka stupid white men in garages or basements), anyone could of penciled or felt markered in a serial number on their arm.
    I thought the tattooed serial numbers were placed cross wise across the wrist not up the arm? Am I wrong?

  25. Well, I finally figured it out, but only with Wonder Woman’s pointing to Kinsella. Whew! Really worried there for a few minutes. From the get-go, I’ve been challenged by Kate’s sometimes obtuse — but always hilarious — thread constructions. In fact, I have a very smart [but perhaps even more linear than moi] friend who I keep pointing to sda and he always complains about being lost! I’ve even sent him some threads with sda lessons! And Shaidle — he just doesn’t get at all.
    Well, Kate, “rode her hard and put her away wet today”. Vancouver up to Squamish (squeamish) for a StarBucks on my Yammie FJR1300. Heavy but she pulls Gs! Sunny leaving, then rain at Squamish, then pouring rain leaving, then 10C and blue skies back in Vancouver.

  26. Well, Kate McMillan on a motorbike.
    The definitive riposte to global-warming econuts and the Suzuki fascists!
    Memo to Al Gore et al.: stuff your crappy Prius where the sun don’t shine.
    And Kate likes “min schnaus” too so she’s doubly worthy in my books.

  28. Me, I ride Italian metal, a ’73 Moto Guzzi Eldorado. But I’ve never thought of tattooing the VIN on my arm. I wonder why Kinsella wanted to post yours on his website? I’m especially puzzled as to why he would be “honoured” to have your VIN on his page. I’m so confused, did Warren assume it was something else without checking it out???

  33. Beautiful and brilliant as usual, Kate.
    I agree, mischief is important, and this is one piece of mischief that will be a delight for a long time.

  34. This is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. There’s pwnage, and then there is…I’ll have to somehow incorporate this newly discovered strata of “super” private property ownership into my socioeconomic models.

  37. ‘Nother Liberal sewer; newest member of Citoyen Dion’s dream team.

    Former MHA Fighting Back
    A former MHA and now Liberal candidate for the federal riding of St. John’s East is taking a stand against allegations in the recent Auditor General’s report. The report says Walter Noel included personal items and alchohol in his expense claims. The former provincial cabinet minister says his claims were in accordance with the rules of the day and that the items covered were not for personal use. Noel is seeking legal advice on the matter. He says the report has caused him a terrible amount of embarrassment and stories to be written about this and that the Auditor General never even spoke with him before commenting publicly about it. Noel is still exploring further action. Noel disagrees with the Auditor General.Noel says the items were used properly and that’s why they were claimed. He says they were claimed in accordance with the regulations at the time and that the same regulations apply today.

  39. “…And I have been offered, and accepted, a position on the legal
    affairs committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress”.
    Warren Kinsella 10 Feb 2008
    Congratulations, Warren. Will your first task on behalf of the committee be to wash the cups or will they let you make the coffee right away?

  43. A little [!] folklore mischief indeed. Maybe the CJC have a knife sharpener he can use, before returning himself to the drawer.

  44. Am I to assume that’s not a German motorcycle? I’d hate to see another round of Nazi-sightings set off.

  45. ADS,
    That’s no fake – it is the engine serial number from an 81 RD350 (the 666th off the line to Canada that year)

  46. Rose…the numbers were tattoed up the left forearm. See lberia’s ref. Imagine,the leftie using the nick of one of the greatest mass-murders in history actually got something right! And about the Jooosss!! Slipping are we,lberia?

  47. It really makes you wonder sometimes. He keeps on trying to take on Kate, Kathy, Ezra and Mark. Anyone of these folks are more than capable of making him look like a fool, yet he keeps coming back for more.

  48. Originally, the numbers were placed on the left side of the chest, but they were moved to the left forearm for the sake of “expediency”.

  50. That was slick! I’m across the lake from Toronto, and I heard a loud explosion a few hours ago..kind of like a huge ego blowing up.
