CSS (Chronic Slow Syndrome) is an insidious disease that robs people of their sanity and, ultimately, their dignity. Its most often associated with the ownership of black XX's but has been known to afflict the owners of red, blue, and titanium-colored XX's as well. Remarkably, only silver XX owners are immune to this disease and researchers are hoping to have a silver XX slow down long enough to study this phenomenon.

We join Logoman and Strek in an adult living facility to catch a glimpse of how CSS affects everyday life.

Logoman: Well, Strek, that's about all the time we have today. I'm going to have to wheel you back to your room.

Strek: What room?

Logoman: Your room. Remember? 714.

Strek: Ummm, I think so. Are you going to steal my diapers?

Logoman: No. No one is going to steal your diapers.

Strek: Are you going to go fast?

Logoman: No, Strek, I have you in a black wheelchair.

Strek: OK. Can we go backwards?

Logoman: Yes, Strek, we can go backwards if that would make you more comfortable.

Strek: Goodie. I like to go warp.

(Strek tries to clear the mucous from his throat and manages to sing the chorus of "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones before suddenly breaking down and sobbing uncontrollably.)

Logoman: There, there, Strek. I'm going slowly. Veeeery slowly. Everything's going to be alright.

logoman... I have to say that was a very amusing read.

Frued would have a thing or two to say about your last post as I'm sure you already know. He would read your last post and conclude that the person who wrote it had lost their mind. Of course he would have your other previous posts on this thread as further reference.

Symptoms that are all too obvious.
An inability to grasp reality.
Frued concludes...This is most evident in the subjects persistent but incorrect belief that his little silver BLACKbird is fast.

An ability to create their own fanatsy world.
Frued concludes...The subject demonstrates this with his last post. An amusing read for sure that helps the author delve further into his fantacy world and futher delude his entire ability to reason.
Frued futher concludes... The subject has further demonstrated the following symptoms in previous posts
first low self esteem.
A prescription to paint his bike BLACK was offered to him by his good friend DR. STREK.

Then stir crazy as his silver bike was not even capable of movement as logoman was waiting forever and ever for some little piece of silver to finally make its way to him. Frued would conclude the following... Since the subjects little silver bird was not capabale of movement before the subject was waiting for his little part to arrive the fact that his bike was now not capable of movement should be no different then before and should be of no concern to a sane person. The fact that the subject now has a sense of being stir crazy is futher evidence of the subjects inability to reason.
Once again a solution to this delima was offered to the subject by his good friend DR. Strek but the subject again failed to take him up on it.

Later talk of ending it all. Frued would initially be guarded. He concludes the following. Frued ...While I can't be sure what the subject was referring to with this kind of talk the evidence only points in one direction. His good friend the famed Doctor Strek provided sure fire solutions to the subjects dementia. All not followed by the subject. The conclusion can only be that this subject is in immediate need of help. As his attending physician I prescribe shock treatment. While this is snapping the subject back to his senses we will take is little silver bike in for the recall. Once the subject is snapped back into senses we place the subject on a TRUE BLACKbird and he will be snapped to life.. back to reality...

Frued ... Now now there little logoman. please come back over here.
It's alright. It's Ok. Now now there.... come on there little logoman...

logoman goes running away.

Frued... Paint it Black Logoman. Follow Dr. STREK's message.

I'm sure Dr. Freud would like to meet you and your imaginary friend, Dr. Frued. Obviously, running your bike in the garage without proper ventilation has caused more hallucinations than just believing that your black XX is fast - or can move at all. The next time you saddle up in the garage, may I suggest angling one of your rear view mirrors so that you can see when your face is turning red. This will signal carbon monoxide toxicity and allow you time to phone a silver XX rider who would quickly ride to your rescue.

Armystrong... I thought it was pretty good too considering that the author is insane and also rides around on a little silver thing. The only reason why logomans his bike is even capable of forward motion at all is because the tires are BLACK.


Logoman ...Sorry for the spelling of Freud's name there logoman but that doesn't change the good doctors findings. Freud would see that as another symptom.

SF>>>>The subject is showing more concern over the spelling in the message instead of the true meaning of the message. Just as he had done when he described his symptoms of being stir crazy while he was waiting for his part to arrive. During that instance the subject actually believed that once the part arrived that his bike would now be capable of some forward motion. By showing concern for things that are inconsequential the subject again demonstrates an inability to grasp reality. Almost as if he is linking the incorrect spelling and weaving that in along with his mis-belief that his little silver bike is fast. All while not listening to what his good doctors are telling him. Listen to what the good doctors are telling you logoman. Take DR. Strek's advise.

SF>>>> I do feel that this subject is hopeless. He will most likely respond by not following his doctors orders but with some new correction on spelling.
Well its good to know that his grade school teachers were able to reach him and teach him something when he was a youngster.

I have been on this site since May and in all that time, Red CBR1100XX Blackbirds have always been fastest in my eyes.
Yet, you all sit here and mis spell your words, cross your meanings and just blatently get it all wrong.
Red is fastest, it is a fact.
My Red CBR1100XX Super Blackbird is faster than your Bird of any color and will be until you come here to Los Angeles and prove me wrong.

Your preoccupation with therapy concerns me. You'd think after 9 years of psychoanalysis you'd be free of your obsession with slow conveyances but you cling to your black XX like a child clutches a soiled blanket.

I suggest switching to Transactional Analysis which will help you understand how your "I'm not OK, you're OK" life script has shaped your decision to ride an inferior slow black XX instead of a superior fast silver XX.

You misspelled "mis spell" and "Blatantly".

That red paint is fading faster than your bike in a silver XX's mirrors. Pretty soon it will be light pink and your Cher impersonations will go from a hobby to a full-time gig.

If I was drinking milk, it would have splurted all out my nose with that one, you are very funny.
But, very mistaken.
Red is fastest, presttiest and the best.

fasterspider...

When I took the air box off my XX yesterday, there was a spider web and what looked like a mother spider and her babies on the underside of it.

They were moving very slowly since they were on a black part. Even when I commenced to shortening their lifespans they couldn't move fast enough to elude me.

I want to apologize for the vicious attack on your family and want you to know that the end came swiftly and they didn't feel a thing.

Oh, and a couple of minutes ago I killed a daddy longlegs that somehow got into the tub.

Sorry, again.

Logoman...


SF here>>>>You're just giving the doctors more fuel for the fire my dear friend. Again with the spelling. The subject continues to live in a fantasy world. At this point an institution may be his only hope. If you don't follow the good doctors advise they will commit you. They have a fine institution in mind. Paris Hilton is a frequent visitor so who knows... You may just end up being her BFF.

Kill 'em all.
I just took a black widow's freshly hatched nest out the other night killing at least 50 of the little bastards myself.
I am called "Spider" because of a case of daddy long legs but, I hold no remorse for spiders not smart enough to elude the human foot or can of bug killer.

I have just made it past 15 years and 2 months, and my eyes are clearer now, but still bloodshot (now it is through lack of sleep from crying baby).

Dont worry about me being sad and angry about my misplaced allegiance to the wrong colour, nothing could be further from the truth. You see, I have a 2007 model with an up to date colour scheme.

Red is still better, prettier and faster even if it is 7 years old.
