    SQUID: "So Quick Until I Die!"

    If you watch 'em on the road they even move like genuine squid: jet up to speed, then coast a bit and slow down; jerk to one side and jet up to speed, then coast a bit then slow down.

    It'd be hilarious of they weren't on the same road with me!

      Scott,

      I'm glad you cleared that up....I thought you were making defammatory comments about our NAVY members on bikes!

        DoD

        Nah, nuttin' against the Navy!

        It's an old, old term from the rec.motorcycles newsgroup. Along with a designated KotL (Keeper of the List) there was a designated KotS (Keeper of the SQUID) which was deemed appropriate at the time because 'kots' means 'vomit' in Dutch.

        Ah, the FAQ is still up and it's current. It's on a web site instead of a news server but what can you do? No one reads the USENET any more:-

                3.79! ! Maybe they changed the test, I'll have to take it again for this millennium.

                  Thanks, Scott. I had a feeling it didn't have anything to do with the Department of Defense.

                    I was a Denizen. #169. Chat room, all text but it was a lot of fun. We had a patch named Geeky, red-flamed skull. I have a photo, will have to post it when I get home after this rally. (Lost in Da UP.) Good times in those early pre-HTML days.
