I know that sometimes I don’t have the right reactions to things; sometimes I laugh when I should be serious and sometimes I am too serious when I should just laugh. However, it’s been almost a week and I still haven’t a clue what the appropriate (or inappropriate) response to this:
That is a man. A burly-ish man. On a Vespa. With a blow-up doll. Wha? In public? For reals? They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I still can’t come up with anything more than “Bwah, haaaa, haaaa, haaaaa!!” Seriously, how do you get over the initial hysterics of seeing a man zipping around town on a scooter with a blow-up doll strapped to the back?!? The man has an inflatable Bike Bitch. Who was all Bike Bitchy with her ARMY STRONG tank top. Yes, I’m serious. I can’t make up stuff like this.
I thought the high-power lawyer who rides a unicycle to work, rain or shine, was classic. But this? This is timeless. Happy Thursday.

I think I spot a dotty bikini and red shoes on her too? Hilarious!:o)
Comment by Pia 2008 August 21 @ 12:46 amWhere did you see this? I’m dying! I think that guy’s in my ward!
(I kid – he’s my brother)
(I kid again. I do not know this man)
Comment by Britt 2008 August 21 @ 6:16 amHave you seen “Lars and the Real Girl”? I highly recommend the movie.
Comment by Margarita 2008 August 21 @ 6:41 amHe must have been watching Lars & the Real Girl.
Comment by Sarakastic 2008 August 21 @ 6:52 amWait, where did you find this? For real, how did this happen?
Comment by Jess 2008 August 21 @ 7:07 amWTF?
Comment by Mona 2008 August 21 @ 7:57 amKind of reminds me of this creepy guy who carries a baby doll around with him downtown. I think he’s mentally aloof.
Comment by Sra 2008 August 21 @ 9:09 amWhoa! That’s kind of awesome. I probably would have wet my pants if I say that in real life!
Comment by Erin 2008 August 21 @ 9:51 amThat is funny on SO MANY levels. Your right…who even knows where to start?
Maybe this is the male version of who guys are afraid they’ll become if they don’t find the right girl? We fear being the lonely spinster with too many cats; they fear being the guy on the Vespa with a blow up bike bitch…
Comment by Trish Ryan 2008 August 21 @ 9:56 am“You’re right” was what I meant to say.
Comment by Trish Ryan 2008 August 21 @ 9:57 amYep. I’m a writer
Oh my goodness. I think this guy HAD to have lost a bet. At least I hope.
Comment by Rhi 2008 August 21 @ 10:42 amAppropriate response: lots and lots and lots of laughter. And then some more laughter as you share the picture with everyone you know. That is seriously awesome! The doll looks like she’s having a good time
Comment by JenKneeBee 2008 August 21 @ 12:51 pmhaha wow that is awesome. i don’t really know what i would say to that either. but i would definitely laugh, that’s a given.
Comment by katelin 2008 August 21 @ 2:38 pmHaha. My face hurts from laughing at this….
Comment by Megs 2008 August 21 @ 2:46 pmOh yeah, the only reaction is a stunned laughter. This looks like something you’d see on The Office . . .Dwight, no Michael.

Comment by Allie 2008 August 21 @ 7:53 pmWow. I find it amusing that she’s wearing SHOES.
Comment by Larissa 2008 August 21 @ 10:28 pmHAHAHA! NO WAY!
Cole and I saw this guy too! He was driving up 500 S. and Cole and I just burst out laughing for a full 15 minutes! I am SO, SO, SO happy you caught a picture of it. Delightful!
Comment by Vanessa Christensen 2008 August 22 @ 10:40 amOh my! Speechless. So awesome. So, so awesome.
Comment by Z 2008 August 22 @ 4:29 pmHeidi, so crazy that I work with your cousin. Such a small world. I’ve always appreciated how supportive of choir he has been. It is awesome.
