I hope you wouldn't put my church (American Baptist) in the same group. As proof, I can tie the sports and religion discussions together. Starting in September, my church is going to be providing a weekly bible study based on
Dungy's New Book, now at the top of the bestseller list. Love him or hate him, you gotta respect Dungy.
Hey Uncrash, I vote yours the best current avatar. I learned much of what I know about driving from Speed. For example, it's important to nail the clutch when you go into a spin. It's also important to know that when cars wipe out, the driver sometimes escapes the car but dies in flames.
Call me weird -- it's been done often -- but I sometimes just listen to the
Speed Racer Theme (wav file), or
This Extremely Inspirational Message from Speed. I think I'll start listening to Speed's Promise before I hop on my bike. You gotta love a cartoon theme song with the words, "...jammin' down the pedal like he's never comin' back."
Another thing I learned, before I could read, was how to work a green light. When I was in kindygarten, my favorite book was Red Light, Green Light:
Why? Because whenever the reader gets to a page that says, "Green light...," the kids shout at the top of their lungs:
GO!
On the other hand, the whole concept of "green light" still befuddles tens of millions of adults.
