What kind of moron rides a mini-scooter (one of those little clown ones that sounds like a lawnmower on steriods and speed) to work at 6 bloody 30 in the damnable AM?
Dead man riding, that's all I'm sayin'.
Ah yes, we had a guy in our other neighborhood who rode a Harley with straight pipes to work at 6am too. When I asked the other neighbors, it turned out that we were the only ones who noticed! One concludes they are all completely deaf.
I shall try to locate my motorcycle shooting gun and forward it on to you. Sounds like it would find a good home.
Posted by: Teresa at June 16, 2004 06:46 AMI always wanted a mini scooter. Not to drive to work necessarily, just to look cool. I'd have a bumper sticker on it that said "My other bike is a Hog". That would be sweet.
Posted by: Jim at June 16, 2004 06:54 AMAre you sure that's what it was? I heard you had a 5.2 quake followed by a 3.2 aftershock. That could prolly sound a hell of a lot like a lil scooter that time of the morning if ya don't think about it enough.
Posted by: bob at June 16, 2004 07:25 AMThere are packs of pre/teen boys riding around on those in this area. I always blame it on my 7 year old. I turn to him and say (in an accusatory tone):
"Why did you convince them to ride those things?"
"B-but I d-d-"
"It had to be you. You must have walked up to them with one and said 'These are real bling-bling, and they fell for it. You are taking advantage of how gullible they are at that age."
"I didn't, I don't even know, you can't blame that . . ." dissolving into giggles.
"They'll never get girlfriends now you know."
(giggle giggle)
"How are they supposed to get girlfriends when they look like they should have a wiener dog in a clown hat chasing after them?"
(giggle giggle)
"You've ruined their lives."
"B-but I didn't make them . . ."
and so forth.
