Keith Dumbass is starting us off with a hellacious
lead out. Maintaining that intensity into July will
be difficult, but I think he's up to it.

In any other newsgroup I'd killfile him, but here he's entertaining in a
laugh-at-not-with sort of way.

Dumbass -

I wasn't clear.

Dumbass is too lofty a title for him. He's something much stupider.

Dumbass,

Dumbass - friendly term, sort of like a nickname or greeting
dumbass- derogatory term, like calling someone a moron or fool or Tom

Keith Code did a bicycle racing book? He's quite famous for his
motorcycle road racing book, which has the rbr-ready title "Twist of the
Wrist."

I read some of the sequel, "Twist of the Wrist II", and one of the
strangest things is that "hard" words are glossed in the text, and the
book's definition of "hard" suggests that the target audience may not
have made it out of grammar school:

http://www.amazon.com/Twist-Wrist-Basics-High-Performance-Motorcycle/dp/0
965045021/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268459023&sr=8-2

If that link works, you can see that some of the words defined at the
end of Chapter 1 were "value," "hunting," and "standard."

I have a pretty solid theory as to why he does that, but it's the kind
of theory you'd expect from an SP.

Regardless, Code has a great rep as a racing instructor, and he not only
wrote the book, he also did the DVD and founded the school.

If Marla Streb can make comments, so can I.

Come to think of it, maybe I'll change my name to Marla Streb. There are
too many Freds in here these days!
