When one is looking to make sure there's not a guy hiding under their car -- what sort of attack is the guy going to launch?
The urban myth, at least, is that he's going to slash your ankles with a razor and then leap out. Although, upon thought, there's no leaping from under a car, unless you're talking about an evil leprechuan.
Or he could just grab your ankles and yank them towards him, which would dump your ass on the ground right quick. Granted, he would still have to army-crawl out from under the car to continue the attack, by which point odds are decent that the victim would have stood back up, but psychologically it's a good tool to get the victim offguard.

I don't think that would be easy. I'd think he'll need to yank your ankles quite a distance to make you fall (maybe a foot?) which means he has to grab you while you're still a foot away from the car, yet stationary. If he's
that
close to the edge of the car, isn't he visible? And he'll need to yank them both to make you fall.
Oddest thing I saw on my way to work today: half a rabbit, on the lawn of a univeristy building.
I too watched some of the Puppy Bowl! It was puppy-riffic. The intern who dreamed up that programming gets a gold star.
I also watched a little bit of the Superbowl, to know whether I could get away with being a space cadet at work today. Answer: yes. The victory parade is tomorrow, although signs indicate that the Patriots winning Superbowls is becoming a bit ho-hum. The funnest part of the news coverage is reruns of the first win (2002), when everybody was shocked and amazed and said goofy, amazed things on TV.
(In the absence of pro hockey, New England now has 2 of the 3 major professional sports championships. (No, I have no idea who wins at soccer.) The tally will remain at 2 of 3, since the Celtics are determinedly mediocre.)
the Celtics are determinedly mediocre
Mediocre is a harsh term -- they are leading their division, after all.
Sure, they're leading with a .500, but still. Give them a wee bit of credit.
ita - can you link to your image pages? thanks
Um?
We got a bunch of rain last night, which melted most of the remaining snow, so odds are it was under the snow before then.
Well, that really doesn't address how half the bunny got there. I saw no sign of the other half.

ita, I do not know how to break this to you.
me·di·o·cre adj. Moderate to inferior in quality; ordinary. See Synonyms at average.
Having local opponents who suck does not raise one above mediocrity. The Celtics are petty Salieris of the north.
