Sucking Ass

Have you ever noticed the little wave that people on motorcycles give each other when they pass? You know, where they drop their left hand down and a little over as if to say 'hey brother'. Or have you experience when you are riding you bicycle and another cyclist gives you the reverse head nod in recognition in your mutual coolness? It doesn't really matter what you are riding, because you have in common is more important than your differences?

Hopefully you know what I am talking aobut or have experienced it. Now you probably aren't going to believe this, but people in cars used to do the same thing around here. Yup, when you passed there was a little wave, or lifting the fingers off the wheel a bit in acknowledgement. Acknowledgement that we are more the same than we are different.

Really, thats how it was when I was 14 years old and started driving in 1986. Back when hair was big, and polo shirts were layered with the collars turned up. Not that I would know any thing about that.

We don't do that anymore. Acknowledge each other, I mean - some people still wear multiple polo shirts with the collars turned up. Not that I would know anything about that.

Somewhere along the line people started sucking ass. They became more interested in their differences than their similarities, and started mocking each other rather than acknowledging. I'm not really sure when people start sucking ass. I mean, individually people are still pretty much ok (except maybe Bill Sali), but all together they kind of suck ass. So maybe I should be asking how many people it takes to start sucking ass, rather than when did people start sucking ass.

I think it is somewhere around 100,000 - and that people around here started collectively sucking ass in the early 1990's. You could say that is when we reached ass sucking threshold.
