Now you ride Harleys you have to catch bugs in your teeth to show how tough
you are.

Here in Oz we have an interesting beetle called a Christmas Beetle because
it generally appears around - wait for it! - Christmas.  These little
suckers are roundish, about 1/2in to 5/8in in size, brown and come with a
really hard shell.  Hitting one of those in the face at any speed hurts.

We can now spin this thread (pun intended) onto the last time I got a bee
inside my helmet thread.  At this point the anti-helmet lobby will kick off
the helmet thread and point out that this is yet another reason why helmets
should be optional.  VTIC

Hope you guys are enjoying the snow.  It's been well over a 100 for the last
couple of days and it's still spring.
