11 04-25-2006, 10:45 AM I just opened up a fortune cookie that came with my chicken and broccoli and on the back of the fortune, the chinese word was: SQUID - You-yu I'm really trying not to get offended. lol BABs 04-25-2006, 10:46 AM LMAO, Confucious say, turbo is fish! Butter Bean 04-25-2006, 11:12 AM yea, it's hard to fool them cookies Stealth 954rr 04-25-2006, 11:18 AM Here's a stupid question, Where does the term Squid come from? Butter Bean 04-25-2006, 11:31 AM What is a Squid? Someone who assumes more risk when riding than the person calling the name thinks is reasonable.—saddlebag at aol.com squid (skwid) n. 1. a motorcyclist who exaggerates his riding ability by attempting dangerous tricks. 2. a motorcyclist who wears grossly inadequate safety gear, typically shorts, T-shirt, and flip-flops. [Naval term for young sailor; typically one on leave with money to spend on a motorcycle. Believed to be an acronym for Stupid, Quick, and Inevitably Dead. Or Super QUick, Inadequately Dressed. Which is why I don't mkut much faith in acronyms as sources of words.] Yes, “squid” is a pejorative term, whether in its original usage for referring to members of the Navy by other members of the armed forces, or in its current usage of referring to those riders of sportbikes of limited talent and overarching recklessness. Should you be concerned that he’ll bust you in the chops? No. He’s wearing sandals, shorts, a T-shirt and baseball cap on backwards: if he tries to punch you, grab the hem of his shirt and pull it over his head. While he’s blinded, stomp on his unprotected feet with your own engineer boot-clad real-motorcyclist feet. Now that he’s hopping around on one foot with his shirt over his head, knock him over, pants him, take his bike for a spin and dump it in a ditch. You’re saving him the trouble of running it into the ditch himself, and a lot of road-rash besides, and you get a ride on a nice bike out of it for your trouble!

"Turbo go to bed with itchy ass - he wake up with smelly finger" olderRR. 04-25-2006, 12:45 PM Always insert the words "in bed" to the end ofthe fortune in a fortune cookie. It makes 'em all make sense. Especially in this case. BBBBWWWWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!! Stealth 954rr 04-25-2006, 12:48 PM The best fortune cookie i've ever gotten was " Be mischievious and you will have more fun" Courtjester 04-25-2006, 05:38 PM my last cookie said "may life offer you a plesnt curve" i taped it to the side of the R1. By-Tor 04-26-2006, 07:49 AM I always heard that Squid was short for 'Squirrelly Kid'. I think that Harley guys coined the phrase. cbrjimmy1KRR 04-26-2006, 08:18 AM Some Quick UnImportant Dumbass looks like the cookie has you pegged Turbie......except for the quick part :hehe: Niner54 04-26-2006, 10:37 AM That Is Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
