Unicycle.
Yesterday I saw a kid on the Mizzou campus riding a unicycle. “Oh, great, the circus is in town,” I said to myself. Then I looked closer. He had backpack on. He had an ipod. He was on his way to class.
Conclusions:
1) This kid thinks that unicycles are cool and is trying to impress girls. Unfortunately he can’t hear their screams, because of the excessive volume of the carnival music he is listening to.
2) This kid thinks that unicycles are an efficient mode of transportation. I haven’t used one before and don’t know what those things can do, but regardless of top speed, the constant beatings and name-calling have got to slow you down a little.
3) This kid is on his way to a circus / carnival class. Given his speed it was clearly an advanced class. Unicycle 3000 maybe. He might have even been a TA. By which, of course I mean Total @$$&*!#.
Anyway, I started to change my mind as he got further away. I saw him attempt a trick that looked pretty cool. It was called ‘Don’t look like a total idiot in college.’ It would’ve been really sweet, but he couldn’t quite stick the landing.
