Short and mean....

Here at the university there are these two guys in wheel chairs that always travel together. It seems pretty uneventful most of the time and I always figured they had a lot in common so it worked well. I never payed much attention to them, as I don't most people here, and they never really stuck out in my mind, even though they were in wheel chairs. Today, however, they were wearing the same jacket and tooling around the campus together. It was REALLY funny to me. I kept imagining them in a wheel chair gang.

I thought of them going out to the store and buying these awesome Michigan jackets in hopes that others in wheel chairs will want to join their world order. Oh man! They were trying to pop wheelies and get going really fast facing each other and slap hands as they passed...all in their jackets. I couldn't help but hope they would try and mug me!

They may have already had these jackets, and probably worn them before, but for some reason today it struck me as histerically outrageuos. I know it's mean, but I don't care. If I saw any group of people, handicapped or otherwise, thinking they were super cool with matching jackets and slapping hands I would laugh at them. I'm an equal opportunity mocker.

woohoo, first comment!

That reminds me of these two guys that ride right around Erie on a tandem bike (they ride EVERYWHERE on this thing, I've seen them all the way up my the mall and they live downtown)

They go to Gannon, and their names are Jesse and Rickardo. One is a white guy, the other's a black guy and they're rich, like inheritance rich. They're in their 50's and all they do is take classes at Gannon and travel the world.

Anyways, they're always wearing matching outfits, that they design and make themselves. The outfits are a little odd to say the least. But they are definately not starting a gang...

I remember you telling me about those guys. That's what I'd do if I had tons of money, travel and stay in college, no doubt.

If I had tons of money I definately wouldn't make my own clothes!

Is she in a wheel chair?

That is the youngest sister (I think) that lives in Scioto county. The oldest sister lives around here and she is in a wheel chair.

I didn't know there was another sister. These guys are funny, they have the motorized chairs and they jump down stairs and speed around awfull fast. They crack me up.

Matching Jackets is Gay! Ha ha, that's nutty. Kidding about the Gay. Wheelchair gangs would be scary.
