First thing: Way cool. One of my favorite comedians, Patton Oswalt, is coming to the Rialto Theater on the 29th of April. F for Fat Fuck Nation.
Patton, if you can read this, please make some jokes about this ridiculous irony I see every day, to change my anger to laughter, because frankly, this shit ain’t funny:
What you are looking at is a pothole, one of thousands in Tucson’s streets, but this one is a special pothole because it is directly south of this sign:
The sign is along a very heavily ridden bicycle route: 4th Avenue. The City of Tucson decided that big, ugly, asphalt filled TRAFFIC CIRCLES would be a bicycle or pedestrian improvement. I have been nearly thrown from my bike several times by the pot holes in the neighborhood that this road is a part of, and the way drivers are reacting to the new idiot circles is more of a danger than ever, I have found. Does Tucson ride a bicycle? Clearly, its focus is keeping asphalt workers employed, but not on the simple, low cost tasks.
LIKE FILLING THE FUCKING POTHOLES. F: Failure to deliver. This sign is a very un-funny joke.
Tucson’s grade for being bicycle friendly: F for Fucked. Also, F for FUCK YOU, POLICE. While the government sits on deciding to make safe approaches to intersections without stopping legal, one of your asshole revenue generating ticket monkeys pulled me over for ‘failure to come to a complete stop’ – something I do hundreds of times a day, and it is not only completely safe but very necessary for me. If I had to come to a complete stop at every stop sign, my knees would be even more in pain than they are. Tucson, you just don’t understand. The random holes all over the city get bigger and remain un-filled. The police threaten to issue points on driver’s licenses for so called ‘violations’ on bicycles. F for Fraud.
The south side connector path still remains un-built. You still can’t get to 22nd on the Rillito path. Tucson’s government doesn’t give a an F – – F for Flying Fuck about the safety or peace of its cyclists. These white elephant projects just mock our common sense. Unlike other “bicycle friendly” cities, here it appears to be the intent.
Halle-fucking-lujah !!!!!
It’s finally over.
We are the Kings of the World.
Well. Until the damn boat sinks.
You know how that works.
kthxbai.
Why stop now?
…exactly…& besides, it’s not about quantity, it’s about quality & i’d say this run to #300 & beyond has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that ‘we’ are #1 when it comes to highly intelligent class acts…
Speak for yourself…
Hey fuckstick [Wendel]
Thanks for the regurgitation of what is written on the paper that they gave me at the court house:
Bike Safety Diversion Program
In an effort to improve the safety of bicyclists in our community, the City Prosecutor.s Office will dismiss a cyclist.s civil traffic citation if he or she submits proof of completion of the Road 1 Safety class offered by the Pima County Bicycle and Pedestrian Program.
If you wish to take advantage of this opportunity you need to take the following steps:
Register at http://www.BikePed.pima.gov or call 243-BIKE
Bring proof of completion to the City Prosecutor’s Office located at 103 E. Alameda, Suite 501 prior to your next scheduled court date
The class is free. Part 1 of the class lasts for 3 hours and includes a review of state and local laws and a discussion of crash types and crash avoidance techniques. Part 2 of the class is required for completion of the course and requires a bike in good ridable condition.
A cyclist who has had his or her citation dismissed through this program is not eligible for another dismissal for one year.
(************************************************************)
But fuckstick, you’re not going through this hoop jumping yourself. I called, and after TEN TIMES I got through, only to find that the DIVERSION CLASS IS FULL. Fuck this shit. I’m not staying in this hot hell hole to attend a class I don’t need. I’m now riding on 22nd every day and I aim to smoke the bus every day.
On Friday, before the court house closed, I filed a MOTION TO DISMISS and if that does not work, I will file a MOTION FOR A CHANGE OF VENUE to another state. Fuck paying the fine, fuck taking the stupid class, fuck the TUCSON POLICE and fuck all this scorched pavement.
I’ll cut up my 40 year AZ license into 75 pieces and give it back.
There goes the neighborhood…
The circle is complete.
Hurben +1. Wow.
Wow is right.
Leave it to lj to properly finish this off.
He’s a human iceberg.
I am officially out of this thread.
Ignore the above post. Apparently I lie a lot.
Had to post this for joe and his kittehs.

Seen it already at icanhazcheezburger. I hit that site at least several times a day. Screen name is kinjinsdaddy.
@307-Yep, what’s a circle without the pivot man?
…WOW…holy shit…
…clearly the tucson police department & the arizona department of motor vehicles are conspiring against you, young man, in order to make your life a living hell…
…i can’t blame, you, littlejar, for wanting to leave “…all this scorched pavement.” when there are greener pastures down the road where you’ll be greeted by traffic signs that read STOP – ‘unless your name is littlejar, in which case the rules shall be waived – because you, sir are special & have bad knees’…
…littlejar, your propensity for never allowing yourself to be happy with your locale, reminds me of the title of the short story ‘The Man Without A Country’ by edward everett hale…
…doesn’t matter where you go, amigo, you always look for something to despise…it’s you, it’s your ‘reason’ for living…it’s what drives you through life & drives you further down the road…& while living minimally can be an admiral trait, you carry so much fucking baggage, that you’re blinded by your own vision…
…too bad for you…seems like every fucking time…
…“…can be an admiral trait…” ???…hmmm, must be a pirate joke…
…that would be ‘admirable trait’…late working hours, little sleep, blah, blah, blah…
“…I am the very model of a modern Major General…”
Boo.
