Fuzzy Dice… 5 dollars.
Segway… 2,000 dollars.
Being seen while riding a segway with fuzzy dice with your pinky sticking out on an international forum… Priceless.
While most people think that fuzzy dice on Segways riden by older people helps them relive their teenage years they in fact have a much more important function. They act as a pendulum to counter act the movement of the Segway and allow people with weaker equilibriums to stay balanced.
well ya know… i WOULD do a burnout but this beast is AWD and yea… little too much traction… oh a wheelie you say? i cna do that… or wait. if i lean forwards instead of backwards… on 2 wheels… is that okay? no? hmm. ill do a donut! yay!
#1 Entry: Unbeknownst to Bill, the students substituted the Segway batteries for the FIRST approved batteries. Now he’ll only be able to ride 2 minutes and 15 seconds before he needs to recharge.
#2 Entry: Bill to self. “Please don’t let me screw up like President Bush did and fall down.”
Old man trying to figure out how to use these new-fangled contraptions…
(this one is a little different, but he just can’t seem to find the Nos button on the handle to make the thing move)
In the “Who’s the hippest Beatty?” competition/fundraiser, the final results are:
Third Place: Brian
Second Place: Bill (shown here, working the crowd).
First Place: Amanda Morrison (a surprise write-in candidate).
Bill shows off the first successful after market add-ons, fuzzy dice and a radio (only true aficionados know tuning does not require a pinky). His first attempts included moon caps ( they wouldn’t stay on the wheels), fire decals (fenders were too small), lake pipes (people kept asking about why the need for two shiny kickstands.), fuzzy tail (no antenna), and (my personal favorite) an “eight ball” shift knob (what shifter?).
