Not live, and don't care to.

I did see a streaker once.

I yelled "Don't look Ethyl" . . . .

But it was too late

She'd done been mooned.

told everyone it was a Kool-aid commercial

LadyJ 1 year, 4 months ago

Use to see them years ago at Kmart all the time. You would be shopping and they would announce a "blue light special" and everyone would run over there to see the deal.

RoeDapple 1 year, 4 months ago

Okay, a few flash-bangs when the mob gets outa control can liven up the party! (Remember kids, do not try this at home. We are professionals.)

That would be hilarious if I were about in the 10-12 age range.

Lt_Dan 1 year, 4 months ago

Hi RoeD. You finally got me to sign up. That might not be so funny if it were you.

RoeDapple 1 year, 4 months ago

Thought that might be you Dan! You're right, but that's the way it rolls around here.

Everybody meet Dan, he's okay.

misterlee 1 year, 4 months ago

I try to avoid crowds.

RoeDapple 1 year, 4 months ago

I knew there was a hater I was forgetting! Hi Sweeper, looking good, sweetheart! (You are a "sweetheart", right?)

No to flash mob, yes to regular mob.

If you could remain one physical age, what age would you be? Have you voted for candidate from more than one party? More over-rated Jimi Hendrix or Jim Morrison When was the last time you saw an ashtray? When was the last time you slept in a tent? Pajamas? What % do you usually tip? Have you ever been in a parade? Do you respect or fear authority? Do you usually drive over the speed limit on a regular basis? How fast have you ever driven a vehicle on land? Do you appreciate Casual Fridays? Would you sell your soul if someone offered to buy it? Ever hit a stranger with a snowball? What should be on the cover of the next phonebook? Paper cut or eyeball scratch? How many WPM can you type? Ever do anything in public, that’s illegal to do in public? Do you believe in cloud seeding? Should newborns be required to provide DNA samples? Is the weather Al Gore’s fault or is it 2012? Have you seen MU’s lame youtube video? How many days of supplies do you keep on hand? What free PC/MAC utilities do you use and recommend? If you could live somewhere else, where would you live? Did you sign the petition to stop the street name change? What’s the best performance artist/act that you’ve ever seen in Lawrence? Do you collect anything? What type of coffee do you prefer? Do you eat breakfast? Piercings, tattoos, or laser treatments? Are you glad Seal’s out of the way now? Are you tired of the Wiz of OZ /Kansas references? What would you like Kansas known for?

I saw a flash mob once. It was a bunch of college age dancers. Every single one of them had a smile on their face, as did I and everyone I saw in the crowd. Of all the things people their age could be doing, they were making everyone happy. I'm still smiling as I write this.
