Cross That One Off the List
Wednesday, May 27 2009 - 09:49PM
I got a chance to take a Segway for a spin at work today. Campus safety was letting people try one out for a couple of minutes. It's virtually impossible to not look like a DB on one of these, but I have been wanting to try one for a while. Plus, at RIT, there is always somebody ready to step up and look like a bigger dork than you. The large lady that got on it after me slowly crashed it into the wall and then jumped off like it was about to explode.

#3 Segway
I was just at Disney this weekend and rode a Segway for the very first time myself. Wacky!
#4 lol
reading about the woman steering into the wall reminded me of the time you guys saw your neighbor wipe out on a vespa. this (and that) top my list of "stories about funny things that other people have experienced... and i still find them as hilarious as my own" list.
#5 Hilarious!
When I lived in Boston, the company I worked for did the network security for Segway; just as they were launching them and they were all the rage. We (our marketing department) gave one away at a trade show, and then had one in our office. I had to go to Segway's HQ in NH, and take a training class on how to use it.
Oh, and that sucker folded down to fit in the back seat of my little old Honda Civic...who knew?
Love it. And, I find some humor in that I didn't even have to process what DB was...
#6 Surprisingly, the most
Surprisingly, the most alarming this about this whole post was that Tim knew what DB was and I didn't. hmmmmm.
#7 awesome
When I read this I almost started crying I laughed so hard.
My boyfriend rode a Segway when he was in San Diego last year, and it prompted him to write this comic:

#10 urban dictionary to the rescue
I was trying to figure out a way to explain it without sounding, well, like a DB. Thanks to urbandictionary.com, I don't have to! http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=DB See first entry.
#11 DB
What's a DB? If you said Double D, I would have known, but I'm not sure about DB.

re: Frank
The Segway is awesome. You should get one. I'll come over and ride it.
re: Stella
You should get rid of that pedometer. Walking is so 2001 (pre-Segway).
re: Fran
Paul Blart is an amazing Segway driver.
#13 ...
And now I call him Paul Blart.
#14 I like this very much! Now if
I like this very much! Now if I could just find a way to hook my pedometer up to a Segway, I would be in business.
