Wouldn't it be wild one morning if you woke up, had your cup of coffee, read the paper, changed the kitty litter and ran out the door on your way to work to see this?
To some, it would probably be annoying, considering that this is another force to deal with besides morning traffic. For others, it would be terrifying as hundreds of wheels whooshed past them on their way to wherever. But for me, it would be hilarious. A complete non sequitur to the daily bump and grind. Much akin to showing up at a protest and seeing this guy (EDW lynch), who made the Tampa Bay Tribune's "World In a Snap" page on Tuesday.
Apparently other people showed up with similar signs such as "I was promised doughnuts" to in effect draw attention away from the original protesters. On my way to a business meeting, I would have to find this kind of thing a bit humorous.
Similarly, when Toronto longboarders attend their Annual Board Meeting, you've just gotta laugh a little, even if you're not a longboarder. This has occurred every September 12th or 13th since 2003 and the dress code is simply: dress shirt + tie + board. Not to tarnish Toronto, but could you imagine if it were a much more famed city, like New York or London? Or even if it were my lovely little tropical city, here in the Tampa Bay? It would be a modern cultural triumph, if only for one hour, the streets of downtown were full of "business" skaters. It would add that little piece of insanity that we all require to stay a little sane these days.
