Modern Vespa

that looks in good nick

is that a steering lock on the wheel

who would want to nick that

looks like a CB aerial on the roof as well

maybe a Mega Drive console in the back

a proper 'Kick up the eighties' mobile

Okay, doesn't sound weird, but it was freakin' TEN DEGREES (F) on my car thermometer. And he was on the highway, not in town. Hard to miss with a hi-viz fairing and jacket.

I thought it took balls to ride at 25 degrees, but this guy wins.


Maybe I'll start up the scooter....

Pulling up next to me, as I could not believe my eyes. Fumbling for my iPhone to snap a photo or two.

Yes, there is a business with that name .. they have been making "dreams a reality" since 1973.

Thinking of MV friends across the pond.

My job has me covering a lot of the area at the San Francisco Intl Airport.

I was completely gabberflasted when I had to call in to our emergency dispatch yesterday. Here's the radio conversation...

Me: "Radio, this is 54."

"Go ahead 54."

Me: "Would you please contact custodial and have them come to carousel 10 to clean up some human debris?"

"HUMAN DEBRIS?????"

Me: "Affirmative. Human Debris."

There is no radio code for "a pile of human feces on the carpet......"

Oh.. International travelers.....

Skok ! Brilliant !

Yeah, it's gross. When some of us Rats weren't working during a Space Shuttle launch, we'd volunteer at the local viewing sites and adjacent parks. Answer questions, etc. But, one of the jobs we reluctantly did was restroom cleanup. Hundreds of people would line up to use toilets that were only designed for occasional use.

Now, the gross part. The women's bathrooms were always the dirtiest. We'd always get a call that a toilet was overflowing. We'd quickly look over the situation and take our handy plunger with us. The problem? Yup, it's called 'upper decking'. Really, an actual name for it! Some individual would remove the lid to the toilet tank. Sit on it with their feet on the seat. Do their business and leave. Had to have a special stick to push the log past the valving. My stick was custom made. On one end it said "no shit". Half way up it said 'full of shit." True story.

Wut

Girls will be girls...

Ewww

Well....I guess that is the name of the thread

The theory of everything.

Well, it's 0020 and I can go to my rest knowing that I learned something new today.

Thank you Mr. Florida.

Passed a stainless steel tanker truck with a sign on it that said "Molten Sulfur."
Brimstone.

Must have been on his way to hell.

...or from it....

Most truck drivers have made a drop or pick in hell. Just part of the routine operation. R

a truck with a amusing signage

steves rubbish removals

no punctuation

so does he remove rubbish or is he just really clumsy when he moves funiture

Just got home and heard my wiredhair dachshund crying on my couch. Found a lizard clamped down on my pup's beard. The little cold blooded Godzilla wouldn't let go!

I've read about those those Florida alligators that eat dogs!!

Now that's balls.

Were did you have your camera?
its a good video

Well done Andy, hope you got the biker rescued. Gass silver machine gts 250

I use a Contour GPS camera that is mounted to my helmet. I found that it shuddered too much when attached to the bike.
The biker was ok. The Tunnel guys were already on their way as they saw him breakdown (flat tyre) on the tunnel cameras

I was in Columbia, SC, for work this week. When I came out of my usual Waffle House at 0630 and walked to my truck, there was a yelping Chihuahua in the driver's seat. I stepped back to see if it was my truck, yep, it's my truck, but that is not my dog. I looked around the parking lot to see if someone had abandoned this crazy animal. I noticed another white crewcab parked two spaces over. I walked up to a likely looking couple in a booth in the restaurant and asked if they had a little dog. "Yes." I then asked if it is a Chihuahua. "Yes, why?". I said I think he has broken into my truck. The gentleman explained as he retrieved his near hysterical dog that they had driven all night and he must have put him in by mistake.

a pusg bike with touring luggage and bird feeders on the handlebars

both full one with seed one with peanuts


and a rabbits tail

not sure were the rest of it went as the dog came in from the garden with it

Likely originally attatched to a Lucky Rabbit's Foot which wasn't needed anymore.

What's a pusg bike??

I meant push but I have fat fingers

and don't proof read what I type

What I sort of thought you meant, even looked at the keyboard, but concluded your fingers couldn't be that fat.

Doesn't help that the whole set up is a bit too weird to imagine.

While walking to get my morning coffee I passed a woman holding the jug from a blender with a straw sticking out of it.

Blah, blah, blah.

Used to getting these with some regularity, usually suggesting I have money (in the millions) due me. Why would anyone go for this?? Who deals with stuff from Benin, and unless one did email and then went to the hospital, what's the point?

Incorrectly ID'd as a motorcycle. Got the animal right though.

OK ... it is time to prepare for the vegetable garden, but, will not be planting until after May 15. One can appreciate the little things in life in knowing when Spring has Sprung. When urban dwellers visit, they are not quite sure of what to make of this offer. These offers are popping up all over the place now. It is the small things in life, isn't it?

Aged is very important. Much nicer to work with in my experience.

Most definitely. Better, as well. Little funny. Few years back I was getting a manicure and all the talk in the salon was about "aged" vs. fresh. The well seasoned gardeners all chimed in ... "aged." As the saying goes, "You don't know what you don't know."

Not so much "weird shit" as old shit.

Can't make this stuff up!!! Apparently, this guy is paying homage to MV, and none of us knew it!??

Touche!!!

Absolutely nothing weird about that: in fact that's one of the few things a Ural with a sidecar is good for!

Now now don't be like that, my Ural was awesome, even had a cup holder

this lorry

not weird but made me chuckle with the name
