There is something sadly unmasculine about a guy riding a vespa. I went to the bank today and there was a guy in his 40s making a scene about his line of credit or something. Apparently the corporate office told him one thing and the woman at the bank was telling him something else. Anyway he left all pissed off. He storms out of the bank and I happened to be following him. He huffs his way to the parking lot and... gets on his vespa. he was so pissed off he didn't buckle his helmet. I almost peed myself laughing. He was really pissed off and I think that's what made it so funny. I looked back and the woman was standing in the doorway laughing too.
I think Buffalo needs a vespa dealer. I think we're a vespa town.

Ann CoulterI bought Ann Coulter's book Godless: The Church of Liberalism on Friday and have been unable to put it down.
The woman is insane. I mean absolutely out of body crazy. It's even taught me new words (i.e. niggardly) that I never knew existed let alone could be published and sold at Barnes & noble.
She isn't a particularly creative person; bitching about democrats/liberals and their inability to formulate coherent arguments. She's been repeating herself the entire book and now that I'm at the end, it is starting to wear on me.
It's sad that someone with such contempt for humanity is given airtime outside of Fox news.

My Life on the D ListIf you hate Kathy Griffin as much as I did, I urge you to give "My Life on the D-List" a shot. She is actually really funny.

Kathy Griffin is my hero! Ok i hate her but i love her. She is crap on a red carpet but I do enjoy some of her standup. Particularly when she talks about when she did Hollywood Squares with Anna Nicole Smiht, Little Richard and Chaka Khan or maybe it was Patti Labelle. Either way it was the funniest thing I have ever heard!

Apparently I Can't Let GoWhen I was 7 I read a book called Zucchini. I got it out of the Erie county public library in Snyder.
When I was 12 or 13 I was trying to find the book because my friend Erin and I were having a discussion about it and the library denied ever having a copy of it, or that it was even in existence. I was so pissed off and apparently I still am. I was messing around on barnesandnobe.com's used & out of print site and found it.

haha i did that once. My bf didn't believe there was a character named rikki tikki tembo no sa rembo chari bari ruchi pip perry pembo, so I went to the store and bought the book to prove him wrong. While there i bought where the wild things are, goodnight moon, and the runaway bunny for good measure. (???)

If it didn't get so god damn cold I would say a vespa would be a great investment to ride around Buffalo.
my friend in high school had a scooter. Not as cool as a vespa, but I honda spree. I coveted that thing.... I did eventually get a used one, and it was so perfect for downtown in the summer when there's no parking... now it gathers dust in my parents garage, but I use it to go to the beach when I'm home. It's perfect. It's super slow, but so fun.
You may have a point about the unmasculine side of things. Hell, the guy probably looked popeye stomping off like that, but I want a vespa too
i would sell my soul for a vespa. well, i would just sell it for money...
