Definitely joking...always just curious when there's mythical references to
Canadians...got the scoop from D Grab, just doing my part representing
clueless yet inquisitive roadies...

I can't tell if you're joking or not. I'll choose yes, you are joking.
It's all in good fun. Not to be taken seriously...unless the reader took
the grail, in which case it should be taken very seriously.

What exactly are you talking about? Flap-heads? Squinty-eyed power? A
blessed civilization? Dogs of war loosened? Gentle plains and pastures
of
British Columbia?
As a Canadian citizen from BC/legal USA resident I find your
manifesto
confusing and rife with excessive hyperbole, not to mention that it
contains
a hint of nationalist paranoia! Has this anything to do with bicycle
racing?
Maybe I missed something having to do with cyclo-cross (I'm a roadie)?
Please inform me, because although I was thoroughly perplexed by this, D
Grab, I have an inquiring mind and would like to know what you're
getting
at...

It is the Knights of the Cross Crusades and quite possibly America's
determination to actively oppose the threats of our time as formed and
fixed on December 21 2004. On that day we saw the base ignorance and
foolish cruelty of these flap-headed terrorists, and we glimpsed the
future
they intend for us. They intend to strike fear and chaos into our
peaceful
and noble lives to the limits of their squinty-eyed power.
As honorable citizens of a blessed civilization we feel it is right and
proper to extend to these heathens an opportunity to turn away from
this
barbaric madness. Every potential adversary now knows that terrorism
carries serious consequences, and that the wise course is to abandon
those
pursuits before the dogs of war are loosened upon the gentle plains and
pastures of British Columbia.
With our intrinsic strength and sacred resolve we shall face and
overcome
this threat to all that we cherish. We declare an unrelenting war
against
these crass, ignoble and square-wheeled infidels. We refuse to live in
fear. Failing their heeding of this final call for civilized conduct an
active campaign of vengeance shall be unleashed. Skies will turn
crimson
with the glow of their burning villages and the night air filled with
the
lamentations of grief and sorrow. Honor must be regained and
retribution
delivered unto these fools. We march forth proudly with shields held
high
and spears bright and all bathed in the golden light of righteousness.
your humble herald-of-tidings,
D.F. Grabowski, Esq.
