Sportster

All-time best street bike ever built. Introduced by Harley Davidson in 1957 to combat the invading British Triumphs, Nortons and BSAs on the track and on the street. The best selling middleweight motorcycle in history.

Unique among Harleys, the Sportster engine and transmission are in one case, whereas the so-called Big Twins have a seperate transmission case. Pre 1986 Sportsters featured iron heads and are called (DUH!) Ironheads. '86 to present are the next generation Evolution, or Evo, Sportster and feature alloy heads and a 5-speed transmission. The most recent models feature rubber-mounted engines.

Sportster-based motorcycles have dominated flat-track racing since the late 1960s. Many early choppers and customs were built from Sportsters, as well as land speed record bikes.

Calling a Sportster a "girl's bike" or "Shortster" may result in a visit to a dentist.

Lots of Yuppie Softail wankers ignore the fact an 883 Sportster makes almost as many horses as their Evo Big Twin, but the Sporty is two hundred pounds lighter. No contest, Sportsters kick ass!

mad dog

Slang term for Mogen David wine, especially the fortified-wine MD 20/20 variety. The MD stands for Mogen David. It was shortened to MD for their line of bum wines to differentiate between their more respectable (if no less nasty) line of kosher wines.

Contrary to popular myth, there has never been a wine sold under the name Mad Dog.

Got me some Mad Dog last night and got fucked up.

There's a new flavor of Mad Dog called Buck Bunny and it's licorice! Nasty!

Red Grape Mad Dog is 18% alcohol.

Bronson rock

Any object, such as a rock, stick, shoe or butterknife used as an emergency or field-expedient tool. From the old TV series "Then Came Bronson" when Bronson (Michael Parks) uses a rock to pound dents out of his bike's fender and gas tank.

That guy can fix anything with a Bronson rock and a smokewrench

Murphy scam

A robbery scam where a woman poses as a prostitute and lures the john/mark into a room. When they are in bed, the woman's male partner rushes in, usually brandishing a gun and posing as a jealous husband or jilted lover. The mark leaves in a hurry, without his clothes or valuables. The perpetrators, or "Murphy artists" collect their loot and escape.

A similar version was used in the movie Porky's as a prank involving a black guy with a machete, chasing the naked crew into the woods.

New Orleans used to be the capital of the Murphy scam.
