To my mind chilli needs beans but I know it’s not autentic…

I’ve always wanted to visit Canada, but something always happens to spoil the trip. It’s like a curse or something. Someday I’ll make it.

Don’t feel bad about the missus dropping into your blog; had my significant other (i.e. she-who-shall-be-obeyed) drop in on a few forums that I waste time in. You’re right, it can be quite embarassing!

Rode down to the Barnyard BBQ joint today for lunch; had the Steamin’ Brisket Donair… Sound bizarre? Don’t worry, it was great. They even brew a fine selection of suds. See here: http://www.pumphousebrewery.ca/foodmenu.htm

If you’re ever in Moncton, NB let me know and I’ll show you where to get some good grub.

Cheers

So are you Lucky the First? - or Lucky the Other?

I’m so confused!

I’m at luckyll.blogspot.com, my eponymous fellow blogger is at pizzacrusade.blogspot.com!

Gary - I do ride to work, right up until mid-december last year. But then the icy roads and snow from our Canuck winters forced me to get down “on all fours” until spring came along to deliver me. This year I coordinated the “Ride to Work” day at the office; all in all we had 26 people show up on their bikes, trikes, sidecar hacks and scooters. We’d even set aside a portion of the parking for “Motorcycles Only”… If only it could be like that all year round (sigh).

Although Top Gun was corny (to say the least), it does have one of my most memorable quotes: “Son, your ego’s writing cheques your body can’t cash!” Goes through my head every once in awhile when I’m riding; helps to keep me grounded

Cheers,
Lucky (the other one)

The song that should have come to mind would have been Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone”. Wow, does anybody else in here feel the draft of a time warp? That movie came out twenty years ago!

As I was read:

Ramblin’ Dan F - “Sir, the road was full of gridlocked cages, but the sidewalks were empty. The objective was ahead, I saw a clear route, so I took it.”

Unnamed Authority - “YOU TOOK IT! And broke a major rule of engagement! … You NEVER, EVER leave the roadway!”

I could hear the tune of C.W. McCall’s “Convoy Song.”

Funny you should put the dipped corn and Grain Belt Premium in the same sentence. I’ve always thought of GBP as “butter beer”, because of the slightly buttery aftertaste.

For those who don’t know, Ramblin’ Dan F. is a Marine too. He is really a decent sort, definitely not a hooligan, which is why I am having so much fun with this episode.

It just goes to show you how deeply that Marine Corps training penetrates. Put an obstacle in front of us, and we WILL go over, under, around, or through. Whether the objective is the high-ground overlooking the beach, or just home and a cold beverage, nothing can stand in our way for long.

The Wife: Er, Hi Honey. How did you get in here? I was just sitting around, telling stories, you know… I’m sure we can get you your own blog, if you want! This is kind of embarrassing…

@Other Lucky - Motorcycles and food ARE the perfect combo, apart from motorcycles and twisty roads. Check out my blog when you have a chance.
