SOBs (not that kind)
Posted: February 6, 2005 Filed under: Uncategorized 3 Comments »It’s a beautiful weekend. Temperatures in the 50s. Whew hoo! So yesterday, Andrew had a playdate. So while I drove to birthday parties and basketball games, Andrew got on his 1984 BMW R100 and headed north to meet the SOBs. His homeys. The boys. Semites on Bikes. They describe themselves like this:
Semites on Bikes is a group of predominantly jewish bikers riding in the Baltimore & Baltimore County areas of Maryland. Members are non-stereotypical jews who should have at least three of the following traits (though we accept anybody foolish enough to ride with us):
- works with hands
- the closest 695 exit near your home has a numeral less than 18 or greater than 23.
- has to lip sync kaddish at funerals…only knows first two words
- has been arrested at least once
- only goes to schul for weddings and bar mitzvahs
- shiksa goddess(god) is synonymous with wife(husband)
- rides a V-Twin cruiser
- bowls
- hunts and/or fishes
- has caused the death of another human
- has a tattoo that won’t wash off
- does their own home improvement
- enlisted in the military
- is a right wing conservative
Don’t let the big talk fool you. This is a group of middle-aged Jewish guys. Mensches. And please don’t tell anyone that Andrew does not qualify for three of the above. Unless he has caused the death of another human, and I don’t think he has. Yet.
That’s interesting. I had no idea Andrew rode. Very cool what you learn about someone via blogging.
What about if he knows someone who has been arrested at least once?
Would that qualify? Sort of like the Kevin Bacon game.
Hey Wendy er Blanch,
Cute write-up (Blog-up??)but now you’ve gone and outted poor “Sir Twisted” (Andy). I have reported on the SOB list/serve that Andy doesn’t cut the mustard!! LOL!
I hope to see you on a ride or club event soon!
