To many pajama boy Prius driving wusses in the Bay Area. Need a few Ford F250 Diesel driving red necks with steel push bumpers and the problem would have been quickly resolved.

The things you see when you don’t have your 870. Or your 1970s dodge pickup with a Simon and Simon front bumper.

That is a fantasy. Your trucks would have to be directly behind the conspirators when they pulled the stunt. Not very likely.

I think you meant to reply to someone else. ;)

Nonetheless, the title alone almost scared me off from clicking on the thread. /nothing more should be said

"I logged a lot of miles training for that day. And I downed a lot of doughnuts. Little Chocolate Donuts. They taste good, and they've got the sugar I need to get me going in the morning. That's why Little Chocolate Donuts have been on my training table since I was a kid."

Not really since it is named after the town which was named that for the wild mint that grows there

Other than that you could have been spot on

The Krispy Kreme nearby in Madison Heights, MI, gives you a free hot glazed donut just for walking in the door. Damn pushers!

Just got to look for that red neon sign turned on.

Ours was old, but the donuts were still awesome. I’m so sad. I now have to drive about 25-30 miles to get to the other store.

But I will, I hope.

Big deal. This corrupt city allows open nudity unenforced, so what’s with a few motorheads “being themselves?”

Common mint is called yerba Buena here as well, but that is also a slang term for weed...

I rode in a Critical Mass there a few times, and there were naked bicyclists, and many people were openly smoking pot in front of the police who were tasked with escorting the anarchic group around town.

Only in modern times.

Yerba Buena is an old town and was named for the mint
