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.
