Band Sticker on Bike Causes Bomb Scare

I'm probably the only person on these boards who actually likes This Bike is a Pipe Bomb.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Actually, do you know what this reminds me of? Well, two things actually.

The members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor way back in 1998 were detained and questioned because it was suspected they were terrorists. The van they were in had stickers of missile silos and anti American stickers.

And another thing, which happened only a couple of days ago. Henry Rollins, HENRY ROLLINS, HENRY FUCKING ROLLINS, was on a plane in Australia. He was reading a book about terrorism, and the guy next to him freaked out and reported him after they landed. Rollins got a phone call from the government telling him that he was now on their suspected terrorist list, and he told them and their prime minister to fuck off.

The book was written by a Wall Street Economist too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, it's a shitty summary. I didn't see the journal though, but instead another, although not as shitty, third party summary.

“I hope this finds you before you leave Australia as I think its something that won’t surprise you but might give you a smile when you are sitting in a hotel room. I work in one of those Government areas that deals with anti terrorism matters. A fine service is provided but unfortunately we get to read a lot of things submitted by lunatics. The Australian Government set up the National Security Hotline to report terrorists.
The person who sat next to you on the flight from New Zealand does not agree with your politics or choice of reading and so nominated you as a possible threat. As they were too cowardly or stupid to leave their details I can’t call them to discuss their idiocy with them.”

Interesting that he and I exchanged nothing but polite hellos. I was reading Ahmed Rashid’s book Jihad: The Rise Of Militant Islam In Central Asia. He’s a correspondent for the Wall Street Journal and the book is on the Yale University Press. Didn’t Bush drink beer at Yale? Didn’t he not seem to learn much at Yale?
Of course I wrote the nice lady back.

“I was reading a book called Jihad by Ahmed Rashid which is a history of Central Asia. I didn't speak to the man next to me past how do you do. I think Ahmed Rashid is published by Yale University Press. Bush's alma mater. Please tell your government and everyone in your office to go fuck themselves. Tell them twice. If your boss is looking for something to do, you can tell him I suggest he go fuck himself. Baghdad's safer than my hometown and your PM is a sissy. You have a nice night.”

I really don’t take kindly to that kind of shit. I like it though. Love it. Confrontation. Tension. Adversarial relationships. More please. It’s the only time it gets real.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It's almost ironic everyone keeps going on about how they're hippies when GFF is mostly made up of people who masturbate to Nobuo Uematsu.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
