You've heard of Elf on the Shelf but have you heard of (cycling related).....

Nowadays we have these useful things called internet search engines. These can be employed to good effect, should a person wish to avoid any suspicion of indulging in ignorance signalling.

Supercillious nobber.

The flip-side is, that thanks to google, everybody appears to know absolutely everything which is also clearly nonsense. I don't think it's ignorance signalling at all, just being honest about what you know and don't (without googling). I think that's a good thing. Also, I'm hoping the OP will explain to us....

Mind you, if CC banned nonsense, I’d only have 32 posts

I would cease to exist altogether!

I wasn't saying it's beneath me, anyway it might not be depending on how high the shelf is.

 

[Fab Foodie]

It contains an large element of "I don't know about this because it is beneath me, and I want to tell everyone that it is beneath me"

That aside, the rules of the game appear to be that you find or doctor a photo to show a famous person in a cycling context, with a one line description that rhymes with their name. So Ike on a bike follows elf on a shelf, whatever that means.

Agreed, that's an assumption however which may or may not apply in all or any cases. This debate is more interesting than 'Elf on a Shelf' though....

I had never heard of "Elf on a Shelf", should i .......
a) Declare my ignorance and ask what it is ?
b) Google it and then engage with the thread.

It is interesting as we live in age where many conversations, forum threads and pub debates can be killed stone dead by a quick google.

I'm of an age where when someone mentions "Elf" I immediately think of 6 wheeled Formula 1 cars and petrol stations.

Not forgetting these, from the 1960's.

I've not heard of ignorance signalling. Will I collapse into some kind of computer generated vortex if I go and look up what it is?

I haven't written the Wikipedia page yet. Give me a day or so.

Who made you the boss of a thread about Elves.
