The Real Biker Chicks

Michelle Pfeiffer in Grease 2

“You gotta be a biker or a biker’s old lady. Without a cycle, forget it.” Is it bad that I learned my code of womanhood from Grease 2, if it made me so very happy? Stephanie Zanoni was my very first girlcrush — oh, as if you could see her scale that stepladder and dance with wild abandon and remain impervious — but more importantly, her anthem became the theme song for me and scores of other 11-year-old girls, who realized that they wanted nothing less than “a devil in skintight leather.” Did she ride? Not exactly, but she was hardly what one would call passive — when Michael takes her on that sunset ride and she shimmys around and sits in front of him, all a-straddle — well. Well well well. p.s. The rest of the movie is awesome too.

Awesome collection, kids! Here’s another one for ya, where the scariest biker in the bar is a chick. (Bonus: Pee Wee’s Big Shoe Dance to Tequila.)

Good one.

Was going to mention the Pee-Wee chick.

Glaring oversight:

Here’s a good one from Jalopnik’s comment section: http://bit.ly/t23Du – Wendy Williams & the Plasmatics. I’m not sure if there’s a bike in there but it definitely embodies the ethos. Warning: NSFW.

How To Get A Free Ride On Air Force One: Vote ‘No’ On HCR

by Glynnis MacNicol | 5:22 pm, Monday

Maybe if Bart Stupak holds out he will also get a free ride on Air Force One and a shout-out in a nationally televised health care rally. That's what Dennis Kucinich got for voting no in the first round of health care votes, and then threatening to do so again.

Minnesota Conservative Billboard Trend Is Back With Gipper-Themed Highway Poster

by Frances Martel | 5:19 pm, Monday

The Minnesotan billboard caper plot thickens. It took a few weeks of anonymity to discover the culprit's of last month's mystery, where a jovial George W. Bush waved at commuters on Interstate 35 with a caption asking "Miss Me Yet?" This time around, however, it isn't so much of a joke as a direct conservative message: "Remember Real Hope and Change?" it asks, with a picture of Ronald Reagan in a cowboy hat.
