This blog is overrated.

Funniest grammar-related witticism I’ve seen in a while, from a comment thread on Megan McArdle’s blog about cyclists:

One day I was riding the bus to work and ahead of us was a bicyclist with a placard on the back of her bike with the vehicle code section saying bicyclists have the right to a full lane.

And of course–do I even need to say it?–she blew through every single stop sign.

It’s one of the very few instances I’ve ever seen where someone was simultaneously flaunting and flouting the law.

If only the cyclist had also had a bright light attached to her bike — then she’d have both a flare and a flair for annoying drivers.
