Yes, I looked like that rat! That rat is having fun. Here is an actual picture taken of me while riding: I was test driving an ATV with roughly similar powerplant to the Razor that had been “lawyered”. My ATV is 20 years old but I didn’t expect any surprises. I’ve been using ATVs since they came with three wheels, but almost always for work. I think it was a Polaris 570 with a slightly different feature set. “Fine”, I sighed, “give me the keys to that one.” I waved vaguely at a generic ATV with a cargo bed on the back. Apparently, sane people can get by with 4 wheels. I clicked the belt and muttered at the dash (resplendent with electronics)… “you’re dead to me”.īack at the dealer I asked to drive a 6×6… any 6×6. I’d forgotten to click the seatbelt and it had a special safety feature that put it on limp mode without the belt clicked. I was being lectured to by the machine! Oh that’s total bullshit in a velvet lined bullshit box! I got back in and the thing slowed to a crawl. Why am I turned off by anything in the middle of the mass market? The whole thing, whether real or imagined, had the fly-by-wire feel of a carefully detuned fuel injection system designed in a committee meeting. Throttle response though a slushy transmission made me feel like power was arriving by FAX. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an impressive machine, but it has been attacked by lawyers. A Polaris Razor is a common side by side and one that would be default for any normal non-blogging not-weirdo. On a bitter day I stopped at a ATV store (different for earlier posts) and tried a Polaris Razor. I’d given up on street legal but gained what I thought was an easy ride… and enough carrying capacity to bring more camping gear than I own. It’s clearly capable enough to go anywhere I’d care to go. Just look at that thing! It’s pure brute strength in a machine that’s neither a regular ATV nor a standard side by side. Re-inventing the mental search routine from earlier cogitation but with different starting points I came up with the Can Am Outlander 6×6. None of this had to do with a failing of the machine.įearing I was sentenced to sitting on soft seats for a while, I restarted my search. We hobbled about together and thoughts of Rokons faded into thoughts of Ibuprofen. Suddenly the Rokon’s legendary harsh ride made me nervous. I never believed I would hit this milestone again, thank you everyone for bearing with me and my constant fandom changes.I was all set to buy a Rokon. Thank you all so much, for making 2020 bearable for me, for liking and reblogging my gifs, for tagging me in your amazing edits, for sending me messages, for becoming my friend, for being cursed with me, for making tumblr a great place to return to.

I met so many beautiful people in this fandom and I will always be grateful for everything.

A HUGE shoutout to the Merlin fandom, for accepting me back with open arms after so many years of absence and being my favourite place on tumblr right now. I never thought this place would become again my safe haven, that I would meet so many new amazing friends and reconnect with so many old ones and become a part again of this amazing community. But then quarantine and Merlin happened to me and I was here again.

Wow this is crazy, I cannot believe it! 🤩 I never believed I would be here this day, making this follow forever. It’s common for comedians to exaggerate for the benefit of a good story, but it’s rare to see pure fabrication, as when Acaster insists he’s actually an undercover cop masquerading as a comedian or when he tells stories about his time in witness protection. “It’s a curious number because it sounds big … but it’s in the teens.” He frequently plays with comedic forms onstage, whether by spending the first 15 minutes of his Netflix special on his knees or by weaving fiction into his comedy. “Favorite number? Umpteen,” he says in Repertoire. He’s playful yet cagey and keeps the audience at arm’s length.

His comedy style is eclectic and experimental, featuring act-outs, props, and long stories in addition to crowd work and one-liners. He is a frequent guest on British panel shows and is the co-host of the podcast Off Menu. The Man with the Flaming Battenberg Tattoo (2012)Īcaster received a record-breaking five consecutive nominations for Best Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival from 2012 to 2016, and he released the four-part Netflix comedy special Repertoire in 2018.
