Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

LOL I see those very often. But 10k? B16 is only like $2000, what they do to make it fit in a minicooper better be gold

 

Squid stands for:

Stupid
Quick
Underdressed
Imminently
Dead

It's anyone on any bike, riding irresponsibly. It has nothing to do with the power of their bike or if their clothes match the color scheme.

 

People have been calling too-fast-under-skilled riders "squids" since at least the time of the original Kawasaki GPZ (predecessor to the original Kawasaki Ninja) came out in circa 1981.

It might have come out before that - but it was really the early 80s when the makers started building wildly overpowered bikes that were approachable enough for anyone to ride.

I'm convinced that meanings and acronyms have been adapted to the term that people were already using, rather than the other way around.

 

You're working for free.

 

I wish that was the case...

 

Well sort of. Your check is in the mail (you get paid when this is all resolved).

 

You're not a federal employee are you??

 

They may not dude, you might want to start planning

 

I'm not gonna claim to understand that...

 

i lold

 

Gonna be interesting if they don't.

 

Uhg, Don't even want to think about it. I'm National Guard, so I'm not sure If I'll be having my drill this weekend... one place I read said all National Guard training, not related deployment will be cancelled.... LOVELY..

 

Hope not.

 

Just an FYI, I'll be hunting every national wildlife refuge closed zone possible.

 

Does Golden 1 have a setup for Fed employees like they do with State when we don't get paid? That's the whole reason I joined G1 back in the mid 90s.

 

Uhh.. Thanks. I didn't know we were looking for the acronym. This is what my group of motorcycle buddies explained to me. But then again, they could be wrong. They were laughing at that...because we don't ride like that at all.

 

My wife said today would be a good day to go cut firewood in the forest. We already have all of ours from my friend's house, so I won't be up there.

BTW, I guess the county relented on getting rid of that problem forest ranger. He's been harassing firewood cutters lately. Saw one instance where he cited a couple because they only had a 1/4 cord ticket on the wood and he told them that it was more than 1/4 cord. He said just because they chose to not split it in the mountains, that he's measuring it as is (unsplit). That dumbass doesn't even know how to measure a cord of wood! Waste of time for people to have to go to court to have these harassment tickets thrown out.

 

Probably still believes a pound of gold weighs more than a pound of feathers too.

 

Federal Technician furlough notices went out. Currently set for 30 days starting today.

 

I'm seeing this at work too. It's odd though cause not everyone is doing it. I guess our organization put in exempt request for certain individuals.
