    That seems crazy to me. I can see riding between lanes if cars are stopped or popping between lanes so you aren't at the end of a group of stopped vehicles, but that is much different than zipping between cars going 50 while you are going 60.

    But don't take your Spyder around those 1-percenters!

    Me too. I only have a small art collection but I've been working on a book about it for years.

    The perfect end? I finish the last sentence and then drop dead of complete fulfilment.

    California is about to make this legal because it's perfectly safe (wink-wink). I don't know if there's a helmet law there; might as well really compound the mess at accident scenes.

    What if you throw in an "ironically?" Does that make it better?

    Sorry for the major excavation but this thread reminded me of this (since edited) lead from a sister paper:

    EAST BUMBLEFUCK -- (Joe Smith) was in the hearts and minds of hundreds of people celebrating his life Monday night at (City) Park.
    (Smith) could not attend the gathering, as he was found deceased Thursday.

    See JUSTICE, page A5.

    For the record, (Smith) was stabbed repeatedly and beaten to within an inch of his life, then taken to a local mine pit and set on fire.

    He'd a made it if they hadn't set him on fire.
