Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Is The Segway Safe To Ride?

(I know I shouldn't laugh, but the whole thing really does read like a Monty Python sketch.)

It's tragically ludicrous, like when a clown dies.

Ann, that's a ferret.

maybe someone will feel the pull to go adopt him.

Thanks, msbelle! FOHA adopts locally in the DC area.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just got busted on not scrolling all the way down on an email. It totally had the information I was looking for.

Oops.

I, uh, got distracted by the embedded graphic?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Is The Segway Safe To Ride?

I do love the delicious Pythoniness of the whole story, but really - I heard about five times that the owner of Segway died in a Segway accident, har har, before I saw a story that included the all-important "ride OFF A CLIFF AND INTO A RIVER" details. I'm not sure it's the vehicle that's really the problem in this case!

There was a GIANT praying mantis on my window the other day. Nearly as long as my forearm.

I bet she was looking for Xander Harris.

I am left wondering how you don't get off the Segway before it goes over the cliff, though.

At 62, his reflexes and eyesight may not have been at their best.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I wonder what buying some praying mantis for my yard would do. I wonder if they are effective in controlling grasshoppers, ants, flies, or mosquitos.

Erin - you said you had time for research? I may have some insurance stuff later if you really have time.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The edge might have crumbled off, too.
