When you ride your bike at night with or without bike lights on a dark

Is dying in bed significantly better than dying on your bike, then?


I have been thinking on death all of my life. There are simply horrible ways
to die and there are not so bad ways to die. Without going into infinite
detail on the matter, I can say without any qualifications whatsoever that
is far better to die in your bed in your sleep of a heart attack or a stroke
than any other way to die. Trust me on this, you do not want to be hit by a
motor vehicle on the road. Such cases do not die easily more often that not.

Yo eddie,

What's the schedule?


I think about another 10 years at the maximum. But ask yourself - do you
really want to live into your 90s? I have never seen anyone who was 90 who
was not a living corpse.

I just checked some of Tom Sherman's posts in the archive. They're on
topic, whereas Mr. Dolan's generally are not. Even if Mr. Dolan manages to
exceed the number of T. Sherman's posts, Dolan's posts are immeasurably
inferior. There's no contest!

Yes, Sherman was not bad when he was on-topic. But that was never my issue
with him. I was off-topic almost all of time for a very good reason. I meant
to get rid of all the liberal political posting that was constantly
occurring on this newsgroup and I think I succeeded. I took Sherman on on
his every utterance on political subjects and I was unrelenting in that
endeavor. He had many cohorts here on ARBR as well and so it was not any
easy task to get rid of the political posting that was going on here prior
to my arrival.

I never pretended to be an on-topic poster. You have to view me in the
context to which I applied myself. ARBR is now a much better newsgroup
because I have gotten rid of all the political posting. All I am doing now
is just personal vendetta stuff and should be viewed as fun and games. Why
not relax and enjoy it? I am!

PS. Many of Sherman's posts are one liners. Very few of my post are one
liners. I am prolix whereas he was constipated.

St. Ed's favorite topic is himself with saying derogatory things about
others being a close second.


If I am saying derogatory things about others here on ARBR it is because
they deserve to have derogatory things said about them. If you post crap to
ARBR I will be here for you. Count on it!

Each and everyone who posts to a newsgroup is announcing himself to the
world. That includes Jeff Grippe. When he is sensible, I leave him alone;
when he is senseless, I take him on.

Well, I think that would most likely be a heart attack or a stroke which is
not far removed from dying in your sleep. The main thing I am afraid of is
cancer. Most of those guys die slowly and in great agony.

Steve, I challenge you to go look up a thread from a couple of years ago
when Sherman and I were at loggerheads over the Iraq War. I think that
thread ran to over 500 posts. Sherman was a worthy adversary for me I will
admit, but I do not believe he ever got the best of me. In my own mind at
least I bested him. I bested him because my messages were far superior to
his in every way except on those rare occasions when I would go berserk from
the frustration of it all. To claim that his messages were superior to mine
is absurd. But both Sherman and I were writing for the newsgroup, something
that is seldom done here anymore - except by me of course.

Very many of Sherman's posts were nothing but sheer crap. Even when he was
on-topic very many of his posts were nothing but one liners, ever the
hallmark of an idiot. I have never been a one liner. I am prolix if nothing
else. I show respect and consideration for the reader by taking him into
account at all times. Every message of mine will run to at least a couple of
paragraphs. That is because I am trying to give the reader something
worthwhile to read. If you are into nothing but one liners, then you are not
giving the reader anything worthwhile at all. It is simply an act of self
indulgence, not to say self abuse.
