oh yes i do. i not just want but actually *need* this: one of those PA systems like on cop cars so the other drivers can hear you. you know, the ones they use to yell ‘pull OVER’ right before they switch on the sirens and call for eighteen backup units and follow you through three counties. you know. or something like that.
i need to be able to pick up my little microphone, and inform people when they are being idiots, in a way they can hear me, because it’s obvious to me they do not know. they have not even the tiniest fraction of a clue what complete morons they are. totally oblivious. and how will they find out? when they run into someone less observant and defensive than i am. yes, i may be able to avoid them, but i’m good, ok? i used to drive a taxi, and idiots are just drawn to big yellow cars with black writing on them (so are bees, but that’s another story). what about the hapless folks who are just minding their own business, and never see the morons coming? someone has to protect the hapless.
i would be good at doing that.
I’m waiting for batgrl to join this discussion, because she will want to arm the PA system with a cattle prod or beam of some kind…;)
Eighteen units? They sent eighteen units after you? Well, actually that’s only six per county…
Pity, only two counties to go and you’d have made it here!
*ahem* that has never actually happened to me, you know. i just have a very vivid imagination.
Wow, you used to drive a taxi? That’s pretty wild.
Last night I had a funny/strange dream where you held a Blogger’s convention at your house. I have no idea what your house looks like, but in my dream it was a plain ranch style house in the middle of a field. I didn’t know anybody there, but we were all standing out in your blacktop driveway. Then people started saying they saw flying objects, but some people said they were just planes. Then people started disappearing. Just disappearing like a rapture happening or something. Then I woke up. pretty strange huh? I’ve had other dreams about people that I follow on their websites. I need to get more of a life.
Ooo! A microphone and maybe a really LONG nerf bat, so you can smack ‘em on top of the head.
hee. I just remembered Mr. Microphone. Remember that commercial? “Hey, good lookin’. We’ll be back to pick YOU up later.” ah. Good times.
Yep, and I think you should pull em over, and do full body cavity searches. Eeeww, ick. Forget that part.
oh, no, no, i don’t want to *touch* the idiots. just yell at ‘em.
eww.
oh, and Stacey? i live in a a ranch-style house, sort of, well it’s a duplex, but it’s in the middle of suburbia. i’m actually surrounded by catholics.
other than that it sounds like a very plausible and realistic dream.
I would love to have a PA attached to my car. But it would have to have a swivel, so I could point it to the people behind me so I can shout “NO HITTING!” at them, or at the people next to me – “I DON’T HAVE MY TURN SIGNAL ON FOR MY HEALTH, YOU KNOW.” Or at stop lights, once they’ve turned green and there’s that 300-year-old lady in front of you, who forgot what “green” is. “MOVE!!!!!”
Yeah, I’m an ass, but I like me that way.
yeppers, Tara, those are *exactly* the sorts of things that a PA would be great for.
people need to hear these things! they do!
