re: Character Map Cool huh! (pun intended)

i like puns a lot.

as a matter of fact, i submitted ten entries to a local pun contest.

unfortunately, when asked how many entries won, i had to reply,

"no pun in ten did."

We got out on Sunday too. Went to Ready Riders in Dix Hills for free chili, and to enter a free raffle for a helmet. Then took a ride on 25A to Oyster Bay and back. A sunny, blue sky day. Temp didn't matter with Gerbing's and a heated seat. Felt like one those days I could ride forever. Surprisingly clean roads on the North Shore. I was worried about sand and pot holes, but it wasn't really that bad. Glad I got it out of my system, as all I see is snow flying out the window this morning. What else is new?!?!

Why click at all????? On a Mac Opt-0 (zero, not oh) gives you ?? all day long. If you want a smaller symbol (˚) use opt-K -- think degrees Kelvin.
 
I thought that this was a motorcycle forum???

or just a bunch of motorcyclist with PMS....

Parked
Motorcycle
Syndrome
 
Pms?

How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One.

ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don't even know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT.

And once they figured it out they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS.

But if they did, by some miracle, find the light bulbs, TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID LIGHT BULBS CAME IN. WHY??? BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE 12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! THE HOUSE!!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS...
