Your result for The Motorcycle Personality Test...

Ducati 996

You exhibit an overexuberance in all respects that cannot be satisfied. Your attitude and ego are over the top, yet you actually have the skills to match. Its infuriating. People would hate you, but you're too damned nice. You always ride like its your last day to live, and leave bystanders vaguely aroused.

Your bike is the Ducati 996. Sex on wheels.

"One of the biggest problems men like me have is that when we say, "I love you" to a woman we want to really mean it. Like "I love you forever." Men don't understand that a woman can say, "I love you forever" and change her mind next week. All she does is convinces herself that in hindsight, and despite everything you've ever said or done, you never really loved her, so all the times she said, "I love you" didn't really count. You have to learn to use the same language. Go ahead and say, "I love you," but inside your head say, "I love you right now. Tomorrow may be a different story." When you break up and she screams that you said you loved her, tell her that you did, but she did this and that and now you don't love her any more. When women say, "I love you" they aren't promising eternal devotion, so why should you be? One day you'll meet a woman who says, "I love you" and it'll really hit home. You'll test her love a bit and it will hold up..."--Quote from Best of Craigslist - Myths and Truths
"If women doll themselves up to LOOK HOT, please expect me to reciprocate and ogle you like you want. If you have big cans, implants, etc., and have them sticking half way out of your shirt, expect me to give you a once over. If you have a tramp stamp and show it, expect me to stare at your ass as you pass by. You cannot pick and choose which men you want to attract. If you are dressing to impress, wearing a low cut top, and spending 20 minutes putting makeup on, then STFU about ANY man checking you out..."--Amended Quote from Craigslist OC Rants and Raves - Dirty Old Man?
"Women are music and beauty and delight made flesh..."--Robert Jordan - Conan the Unconquered
You Are Guinness
You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.
Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.
When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.
But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around. What's Your Beer Personality?
"Boy bands should be exploded from a great height. They're just pretty people singing music written by others..." --Eddie Izzard
"When it seemed that every singer must become a seer, every group a mystic set, Rod Stewart came along and was simply a delinquent..."--Nik Cohn-Rock Dreams
"The first half of the above sentence speaks not just to Stewart's early work, but also to the complacency present in popular culture today. It's a landscape where there is a convenient genius that appears monthly to grace the covers of kneepad-wearing music magazines. There's American Idol and all of the mysteriously over-adored shows of its ilk that bring the shit karaoke of the corner bar to your living room; but just like karaoke there is none of the passion, chaos, or unpredicatbleness of true rock 'n' roll..."--Bill Tuomala-Exiled on Main Street #42

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"When did being a "Christian" become synonymous with ignorance and intolerance?..."

"I mistrust those who would wear their religion as a badge..."

"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ..." --Gandhi

"The truly disgusting thing about Sarah Palin isn't that she's totally unqualified, or a religious zealot, or married to a secessionist, or unable to educate her own daughter about sex, or a fake conservative who raised taxes and horked up earmark millions every chance she got. No, the most disgusting thing about her is what she says about us: that you can ram us in the ass for eight solid years, and we'll not only thank you for your trouble, we'll sign you up for eight more years, if only you promise to stroke us in the right spot for a few hours around election time.

Democracy doesn't require a whole lot of work of its citizens, but it requires some: It requires taking a good look outside once in a while, and considering the bad news and what it might mean, and making the occasional tough choice, and soberly taking stock of what your real interests are..."--Matt Taibbi-Rolling Stone, Issue 1062 — October 2, 2008

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them...

There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism...'"--Barry Goldwater, not exactly a liberal guy. Quote borrowed from Andrew Sullivan-The Daily Dish

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the Flag and carrying a Cross..."--Sinclair Lewis
