Re: The Dumbest things
 

Y'all want a dumb story?

Picture it: 2004 Championship, Archimedes Field. Dean's arrived on his Segway, and naturally folks around are crowding to say hello and et cetera. I attempt, but as a real-time scorekeeper, I also needed to be fifteen feet away within about ten seconds for the soon-to-start match. So the match is about to start, and I'm fighting my way through the crowd, bumping into people as I try to get behind the scoring table. At the end of that crowd was a certain denim-clad fellow on a Segway, who I wound up bumping into a little harder than the others.

Thank goodness Segways can balance!
