I think I might bring back my boombox strut! Sure, its a bit more noisy, but in this day of peace and quiet (what with all the iPods out there), what better way to avoid being a target than blasting my tunes on my trusty boombox as I walk home...

It's like having your own personal car alarm!

To late! the other night I was around 17th and Samson going to dinner when 2 different hipsters road by on old bikes with loud raidos taped to the bar on the bike. I guess they know what happens if you have a IPOD!

HAHA ... well, everything old is new again... if only I had kept my first bike radio from 'back in the day'

Not O.H. Lee, but when I had an abandoned bike (sans most necessary parts thanks to thieves) locked to a pole in front of my house that made it nearly impossible to get out of a car courteously parked up to the "no parking" sign (thus allowing 3 rather than 2 cars to street park in the limited space available), I called Streets Dept. and it was removed about 2 weeks later.

I had a guy try to sell me an ipod the other day...without the dock. I asked him where the dock is and he vaguely replied he lost it or something. I then said "well how will i charge it or add songs to it" (i wasnt planning on buying it regardless, just f'ing with him) and he said "you just plug it in." To which i said, "with what" he said "the computer cord," i said "but you dont have one." Then, only then did the light turn on...

Did he also have gunpowder smudges on his hands? Maybe he knows someone who did?

Somebody may be looking to speak with him.
