I'd have to say the opposite is true - every 1% is an outlaw, but not all outlaws are 1%.

wut is a an internet corruption of "what", the equivalent of nao for now, or r for are. It's not an acronym. Lolwut means "what you said was so hilariously nonsensical I can't respond with anything but laughter."


I.e.

Me: My mom says there's a lot of Black people in Africa.

you: LOLWUT????????

Not all outlaws are 1% - correct. But all Outlaws are 1%. You may or may not have picked up on this. You would capitalize a name of something, ex: "Outlaws" - referring to Outlaws MC. "outlaws" refers to many "rebels or nonconformists" (see previous posts).

If I said "The Outlaws roll in numbers" - you could assume I mean the Outlaws MC.

If I said "The outlaws carry guns" - has nothing to do with the MC.

Here's a real life example. I have a sticker on my helmet that reads "When guns are outlawed, I'll become an outlaw" - Does this mean I'll join the Outlaw MC? No, because they wouldn't accept a guy like me. My ties with 81 could get me hurt.

The whole point of this was to show Roo that the other guy may not have been speaking specifically about the Outlaw MC and could have used "outlaw" as a general term for 1%ers vice listing, HA, Warlocks, etc, etc.

So, how does an Outlaw know when a non-Outlaw outlaw says he's an outlaw instead of Outlaw? The lack of a phonetic distinction between these two very-case-sensitive words is most worrisome.

This is where the ultra secret handshake comes in.

We ARE still in the BS Section. Consider that some of the advice I have been given would have gotten me arrested at a veteran's funeral...yup, BS! Then this PGR event was compared to a single group of 500 outlaw bikers out to have a little fun...BS again! And now this! A suggestion that Th' Roo hisself, Overlord of the Utopian Society of Bikers, change my name from "RoosterBoots" to "DumbRoosterBoots"...well, suh, it sounded just too good to pass up. I tried it for awhile, with mixed results:

1. The wife liked it
2. I had to change my short name from "Roo" to "Du" (pronounced DUH). Once again, the wife approved.
3. The new name tag is too long. It sticks in my armpit.
4. The uninitiated who have routinely called me "RB" and ultimately "Mr. Boots" will be confused by the initials DRB. It is easy to see that more than a few of my followers will call me Dr. Boots. Innocence of the crime is no excuse in the USOB, so I would be subject to repeated arrest for impersonating a podiatrist, forcing me to pardon myself repeatedly. The arrest paperwork is only five pages long, whereas a full pardon frequently runs fifty pages or more (not including the official pardon certificate, suitable for framing).

I'm sorry. I feel a responsibility to the trees. Thanks for recommending a new name, but I'm afraid that it's a "no". Don't feel bad. It wasn't you. It was me.

Roo!
