The site I found these on, hipsterbikevideos.com is pretty funny. They get a kick outta skewering the wanna-be hipsters who choose bikes primarily for fashion and image. Hilarious videos on the site.

Personally, I am kinda ok with the latest hipster café biker craze, even if it does get a bit cliché. Anything that brings in newer riders is ok with me. That's what the old riders are for, to give these young-ins a proper lesson in bike history.

 
The amount of time that is wasted looking at foolishness on the internet never ceases to amaze me. Wow. And to think that someone actually took the time to create such a well made "spoof" video. Some of these folks need a real job. Or maybe a lot of these folks need a real job.

Excellent point Redfish Huner.

I am no poet but I remember these words lifted from an old work of T.S Eliot:

The endless cycle of idea and action,

Endless invention, endless experiment,

Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness;

Knowledge of speech, but not of silence;

Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word.

All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance,

All our ignorance brings us nearer to death,

But nearness to death no nearer to GOD.

Where is the Life we have lost in living?

Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?

Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?

The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuries

Bring us farther from GOD and nearer to the Dust.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965),

The Rock (1934)

ndivita, better yet:

The Farter from Sparta:

There was a young fellow from Sparta.

A really magnificent farter.

On the strength of one bean

He'd fart "God Save the Queen,"

And Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

He could vary, with proper persuasion,

His fart to suit any occasion.

He could fart like a flute,

Like a lark, like a lute,

This highly fartistic Caucasian.

This sparkling young farter from Sparta,

His fart for no money would barter.

He could roar from his rear

Any scene from Shakespeare,

Or Gilbert and Sullivan's Mikado.

Nobody could play the classics finer,

As he showed me one day in the diner.

I had a bagel with lox

While he played from his buttocks:

Chopin's Etude #12 in C-minor.

He'd fart a gavotte for a starter,

And fizzle a fine serenata.

He could play on his anus

The Coriolanus:

Oof, boom,er-tum,tootle, yum tah-dah!

He was great in the Christmas Cantata,

He could double-stop fart the Toccata,

He'd boom from his ass

Bach's B-Minor Mass,

And in counterpoint, La Traviata.

Spurred on by a very high wager

With an envious German named Bager,

He'd proceeded to fart

The complete oboe part

Of a Haydn Octet in B-major.

His reportoire ranged from classics to jazz,

He achieved new effects with bubbles of gas.

With a good dose of salts

He could whistle a waltz

Or swing it in razzamatazz.

His basso profundo with timbre so rare

He rendered quite often, with power to spare.

But his great work of art,

His fortissimo fart,

He saved for the Marche Militaire.

One day he was dared to perform

The William Tell Overture Storm,

But naught could dishearten

Our spirited Spartan,

For his fart was in wonderful form.

It went off in capital style,

And he farted it through with a smile,

Then, feeling quite jolly,

He tried the finale,

Blowing double-stopped farts all the while.

The selection was tough, I admit,

But it did not dismay him one bit,

Then, with his ass thrown aloft

He suddenly coughed...

And collapsed in a shower of ****.

His bunghole was blown back to Sparta,

Where they buried the rest of our farter,

With a gravestone of turds

Inscribed with the words:

"To the Fine Art of Farting, A Martyr."

If it is trivia you like, then consider this from the 1964 Japanese movie The Woman in the Dunes:

"it is better to be in a footnote in a book on small bugs than to appear in no book at all."

My life sometimes feels like footnote in a book on small bugs.
