    Personally, I'm offended that a dead animal with a stripe painted over it is still considered newsworthy. I've been seeing pictures like that for years.

    As an avid road biker, I am very intimate with the phenomenon of road kill in all it's forms. You know, the sights and, especially, the smells that most drivers are shielded from when the windows are rolled up and the air and radio is on.
    The last few days I have passed my favorite form of road kill that only a roadie can see well. It's a possum (I'm pretty sure, mostly due to the tail shape) that has been flattened into the pavement by hundreds and maybe thousands of right side car and truck tires mashing it further into the ground. At that point, they become something like an artwork, sorta like a recently formed fossil. Only a long, hard rain will eliminate it from sight.

    Btw, that picture is funny.

    This sort of psycho-analytical navelplay is verboten. It casts a foul pall over the entire subject, spoiling the chance to stay on topic and find out whose fault this is! And what this is.

    My dad bought a brand new 745li back in 2005 and he was driving me down to Tucson for school. He wanted to stretch it's legs and made it from Palm Springs to T-Town in 4 hours 15. On the way he hit a bird doing a buck 10. Fackin' things exploded like a cartoon and it's lifeless, pink, bare body rolled over the hood and off the windshield. I thought that shit was hilarious.

    Jamespio is worse than spook.

    Is anybody as offended as this guy about the Running of the Bulls?
    "it's just a pity that only 2 were injured. It is hard to believe that in the 21st century, the barbaric practice of bull fighting, coursing and fox hunting are still allowed. the sooner these 3 "sports" are banned the better. They are disgraceful@Mark Donners"

    I've got no problem with a bunch of idiots getting gored by bulls if they want, but am I missing some sort of cruelty to the bulls? I guess some of them might break their legs on the cobblestones and have to be made into steaks, but that was probably their fate anyways...

    It's probably more the destination than the journey which many people loathe.

    Awwwwww, you're offended that people are offended. How cute. How ironic. How tragic. It's so childlike and innocent you almost have to feel bad for OP.

    I'm not going to dig back through all of the Facebook comment to find the exact quote from someone that was relating the painted dead skunk to an unborn fetus as an example of lack of respect for life.

    And why would I care if someone painted a stripe on my dead body? I'm dead and I'm not using it anymore.

    Now you're coming to your senses. Move to the state with real snow and legal drugs.

    That phenomenon is called "road pizza." The DC beltway is particularly good at creating them, I once saw what pretty much had to have formerly been a german shepherd, "pizzaed" over the course of a few hours. While german shepherds are totally awesome in almost every way and its demise was sad, I was still impressed by the sheer meat-grinding ability of the modern interstate highway.

    guru can't quit me. Sorry, guru, I'm both taken and straight. But if you'd like I can send an autographed picture for you to throw darts at, might help feed your obsession and take your mind off of how lame and entitled you are. I'm still trying to figure out how a guy who apparently grew up in Palm Springs, went to college in Tucson, lives in some shithole in the south and is considering moving to some other shithole in the south, thinks he should find a virtual home on a skiing website with a particular bent for the backcountry.

    The running of the bulls is basically to move the bulls from outside of town to the arena where the bullfights will happen that day.

    I was told that the fights kinda suck because of the stress the bulls encounter in the morning.
    All I know is, when I was there, the running meant it was time to go to bed and sleep it off. Holy crap, they drink a lot that week.

    Driving from Sac to Truckee the other day and seeing way too much road kill I got to thinking how fucked we are as a species that we slaughter other species driving, clear cutting, poisoning, yada yada yada and never even notice that we're doing it. I should probably stop thinking when I drive and just turn up the radio.

    So you post this to the most sensitive and easily butt ruptured cowards on the internet?
