My usual site for online news has changed design. It's horrible; apparently some webdesigner had the grand idea to only use bold font. :bleeding:

A pretty bizzare event occured today. I was walking out of the train station carrying my umbrella, handle up. A man came running past me in a hurry to catch his train. My umbrella somehow clipped onto the strap of his bag and was pulled out of my hands, it stayed attached to the guy's  bag and he ran on, completely oblivious. He got quite some way before it finally fell off and I could get it back

It's a metaphor; you have problems holding onto outmoded, but useful ideas.

I want a Vespa. :)

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

A.  They're not cheap.

B.  In the Midwestern winter they're useless.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The kids do it differently here in Mobtown; they just knock you off of it at a red light, then they go joyriding.  Vespajacking by middle school kids has been all the rage last couple years.

I can get one off Craig's List for less than $1000. I'd more than make that up in gas in the first year. And they're pretty-well useful around here around 10 months out of the year. We don't get as much snow as you do.

I live in a college town. They're almost as plentiful as bicycles here.
