ntrprnr 0 #1 December 20, 2005 As I speed by on my Segway from my office on 11th Avenue all the way to my meeting on 2nd Avenue, and look at all the poor people, having to walk, or waiting 15-deep for a cab, or generally cursing the darkness instead of lighting a candle, I stop and think... I bought my Segway in April of 2003. Then, I was considered a dork. Today, I AM THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD. :)_______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

LittleOne 0 #7 December 20, 2005 For once, I am so glad that I am out of the country. But...I'm coming home tomorrow night so thanks for the reminder. I'm booking a car to meet me at the airport. I'm guessing that yellow cabs at JFK will be scarce. Or else you can come zipping by and pick me and my 50 lbs of luggage up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

karenmeal 0 #21 December 21, 2005 A segway would sure be a nice DZ toy. If it's got self-balancing technology.. is it hard or easy to ride after a few drinks? "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmittar 0 #22 December 21, 2005 You have to stand on the damn thing, what's the point, may as well walk. I saw segway make a prototype of a really cool bike that could do wheelies and balance on it's back wheel so it could go over obstacles all easy and stuff. If they'd put that out in the first place, they might've made some money. |>.<| Seriously, W.T.F. mate? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
