Caesar's Bath

Via a blog (http://oracknows.blogspot.com/) I find:

Behold, the Caesars Bath meme! List five things that people in your
circle of friends or peer group are wild about, but you cant really
understand the fuss over. To use the words of Caesar (from History of
the World Part I), Nice. Nice. Not thrilling . . . but nice.

My first one is obvious.

1) Across the frame 4s. I can see the attraction of the top end, and
the smoothness, but only intellectually. The joy seems to whoosh right
past me, never making contact.

THe second one perhaps not as obvious, but still

2) Going nuts over racing. Can't see the point about obsessing over
highly paid blokes covered in advertising going around in circles. To
me, racing is only interesting when I'm doing it.

3) Rallying. I have enjoyed the odd rally, but mostly small ones where
people were actually talking rather than getting pissed as parrots as
quickly as possible. If I want to drink like a fish, I would rather do
it somewhere warm, comfortable, and with flush toilets.

4) racerep clothing. I can't see the point in wearing other people's
advertising when you aren't getting paid for it[1], and I don't understand
why you'd pay extra to have someone else's signature artwork on your
bonce. If I'm going to wear artwork on my bike kit, I want it to
identify me, not someone who can ride so much bloody better than I can.

5) Stella Artois. I dunno that this is relevant to my bike peergroup,
but the bods are work seem to be into it. Is thin beer with a foreign
name any better than the local rubbish?

- who also dislikes 16 bloody bolts to get the Guzzi sump off, but
doesn't know anyone who thinks it's a good idea.

[1] I don't like how it's hard to get good wetgear that doesn't have
reflective manufacturer names all over it. All hail Spidi, the top
class pants I have from them are properly circumspect in the logo
department. Can't say the same about Tiger Angel.

 

how about East German 2 strokes ?
or Horizonatlly oposed side valve twins made in China?
or 350 singles made in India?
or computers running Linux ?

Exactly.

So what are your 5 then?
