Did anybody know it's Ride To Work Day? It is!!! Totally true. I wouldn't make this up, people ...

So, on this day of remembrance ...where we honor those who have ridden to work before us, all the way back to our country's forefathers who were riding something to work, let us raise a drink in memory of them and get on something we can ride and ride it into a place where work can be done.

Remember people - if we're not riding something to somewhere where work is taking place, the terrorists may have already won.

Give yourself extra credit if you are riding AND getting work done at the same time. Now THAT'S multitasking, and i think multitasking is something we can all agree is a nifty sounding 4 syllable word.

Do you realize there's Terrorists out there WINNING because of your actions?! I'm not sure what they're winning. Probably a beach volleyball game because there's a lot of sand there.

*sarcastically* I hope they enjoy their beach volleyball trophy. Enjoy it, suckers - i'm riding my scooter to work!! Put that in your pipe-bombs and smoke it!

Eric your patriotism is inspiring. I am going to follow your lead and continue to ride to work everyday. I don't want to even think of the terrorists playing beach volleyball!

It's terrifying. We gotta get together a team of well-oiled tan ladies to win the trophy back for the good guys!

hmmm, maybe not the best ride to work thread, but definitely the snarkiest! Which is good, because terrorists don't understand snarkiness. Confuses them and makes them run around in circles. Congratulations!

I doubted this would be the best RTWD thread, until I saw who posted it. I'm all filled with patriotism now...

(Singing)
"I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free...to ride to work"

(actually, now that I think about it, the San Antonio RTWD thread is actually the best. It has photographic evidence of patriotism in action. Razz emoticon )

This is creatiing quite an image in my mind. Could someone with Photoshop skills show us the Talaban Womens Beach Vollyball team complete with Burkas and team name printed on the backs where their posteriors would be?

PS I rode to work today and I can't wait to break out my Pipe-Bong. Oh wait you said Bomb.

EXACTLY!

See! That guy is out there shifting some paradigms, synergizing, and extending coverage by wholly new metrics. He's aggregating innovative infomediaries at a rate never seen previous...

And he's doing it for freedom, people.

If you hit the button and do whatever that website tells you to do AND ride your scooter today ... well, then we're safe for now. You can tell your children to get out from under their beds and take off the 'fallout helmets'. The women's burqa'd beach volleyball team won't be troubling them THIS ride to work day!!! Huzzah!
