Something To Look Forward To

John and I have a special ambition in life. When we get to looking like this (and that day is coming fast):



We're both going to get one of these, his and hers style:



While at the Costco the other day, we saw an old timer flip a fast 360 on his and it just made me really anxious for the next 30 years to go by. I gotta get me one of those. With a bedazzled front basket, an attached umbrella and a license plate that says, "Jealous?"

Good choice on the 4 wheel scooter. I know that you and John will get a lot of quality time out of those and you are less likely to tip when you bust your 360! You also may want to look into a hydraulic lift to fit in the back of your Cadillac, those are real nice.

I can just imagine you on an apple green one, yelling at all the elementary age kids to "get out of the way for cryin out loud" while they're waiting for the school bus.

You'll scare those kids for life.

That reminds me of the Seifeld episode.

Hate to put you on the same level as George....but?

Maybe John and I can start some sort of Olympic sport out of it, once we get the hang of those babies. Like, the Couples Rascals Event where you do tricks while holding hands. That'd be sweet! We'd take home gold for sure.

Christi said...

You can probably get a 2 for 1 special! I like the idea of an Olympic sport out of it too.

Lima Bean said...

oh, but think of how much more awesome and tricked out the scooters will be in 30 years (yes, i just typed "tricked out", how embarrassing). that's something else to look forward to.

Emily said...

Liz, I have seen how fast you flip the car you have now...you could do wonders in that Rascal.

Bradwich said...

Y'know, those things are not just for old people. I've seen some of the morbidly obese using them, too. So if you get tired of waiting the 30-40 years... maybe you could put on a few pounds?

Just sayin'.

Remember, even if you don't have health insurance, Medicare will cover the cost so you won't have to pay a cent other than the cost for your bedazzled basket. I think that option isn't covered by the tax payers.

I hope you get a sweet leather jacket to wear when scooting along.

Jeanette said...

I think your really onto something here with the bedazzeled scooter basket. Maybe we could start up a business or something, I am sure there are Grannies RIGHT NOW looking for a little bling for their thing! Your hot now, but just wait till the Rascal... It only gets hotter! (Plus, why wait until your 60? Isn't 30 the new 60? So really just 3 more years)

My husband already gives those bad boys a spin around the supermarket. Lucky me. But hey it keeps Lil occupied while I am shopping. He is such a bad example.

Camilla said...

Can I go for a ride with you?

melissa said...

Ummm... we have one of these. Not as fancy, but just as fun. We ride it to Albertsons in the summer. You should come on over and give it a whirl.

Lizzy said...

Oh, Melissa, I am there! Can we do timed races down the street? Or take it off some (low) jumps?? You do not know what you just go yourself into.

Alifinale said...

You make me laugh. I can't wait to see you on one of those. Always something to look forward to.

melissa said...

Of course we can! We should build like a sweet ramp or something. Chris flips it in reverse real fast and then brakes... gets it up on two wheels. It's good times.

Lizzy said...

I used to be able to get a wheel chair up on two wheels back in the day (Jean and I used to "borrow" hospital wheel chairs when Jess had back surgery). I bet I could do it with a rascal...maybe.

Mary said...

Oh Liz. I've been in withdrawl the last few months and thankfully you've made my herculain attempts to get back to the blogosphere so worth it!! I can always count on you to give me a gut bustin laugh!!
