I don't want anything motorized (or not motorized for that matter) pushing up against my rear end.

Dave who?

"The force generated by RollerCycle travels from your rear through your torso to your feet."
Isn't that taking the long way around?

Flint: How's your skating going?
River: Pretty good, but sometimes, I just wish I had a motor sticking out of my butt.
Fling: I know what you mean.

mr. barry,
why do you assume only males would be interested?

If my ex-wife knew she only had to buy me one of these and I'd manage to kill myself within a week.

Feminist - on what insane young males like, Dave Barry is the world's preeminent expert.
Posted by: Christobol | March 22, 2005 at 05:39 AM
Why do I need that! It might get stuck in my butt, which is not a good thing!
I think I'll rollerblade without it, just to keep my butt safe.
Thanks anyways, Dave! I think.

Key quote: The Roller Cycle will take you easily over any terrain.
Mountain passes?
Boulder fields?
Beaches?
The Everglades?
All with a butt-turbo?
Science is our salvation!

Buenas diaz, julieine -
Como esta?

The force generated by RollerCycle travels from your rear through your torso to your feet.
My personal feet are not attached in any way to my torso...but perhaps some people are made that way.
Posted by: Susan | March 22, 2005 at 07:10 AM
Happy b-day, scat!

Buenos Dias Elanor....

Oh good, it's things like this which will help add to the number of people in vegetative conditions, thereby allowing the "culture of life" debate to go on forever!
yay!

So .... if I understand this correctly, if the `rider' slips and falls, half a motor bike motors up the victims bum.
This is going to make extreme felching look tame.
Posted by: BarryFS | March 22, 2005 at 08:25 AM
Hmph! I developed the low-tech version of this years ago, wherein I would put on my rollerblades, attach myself to my Newfoundland/Lab dog by leash, and allow him to pull me through a heavily wooded park filled with squirrels, other dogs, other people, etc. Motorized engines with controls???? HA! Wimps!

Scatillogical's Birthday = Shit, Basically A Cold Grit.
Have an illogically happy day, scat.

Good anagram D'Art - nasty, but good!

"DUDE did you turbo charge your butt roller? You were hauling a*s!"
"Nope, just ate some bad Mexican....."

As you travel up to 25 MPH, you skate along with the RollerCycle adding exercise to help your respiratory system.
Not to mention developing your bladder control as you hit a corner at 25mph....

I hope this doesn't catch on. I'm scared to think what will happen on the hiking/biking trails.
I can only imagine what Tim Taylor would do to give it more power.
*grunt grunt grunt*
Posted by: slyeyes | March 22, 2005 at 05:38 PM
sly' - When I grunt like Tim "Toolman" Taylor, I'm not usually trying to in-line skate ... mostly, I'm sitting down ...
BTW ... Rollerblade (TM) is a registered trademark, therefore that right of ownership should be acknowledged whenever the term is used in print.
Happy B-Day, Scat' ... I'll just sit here at the curb in the Geezer Bus with the engine idling and the turn signal flashing merrily away ... in case you change your mind ...
(Heh ... I said "flashing" ...)

The people at America's Funniest videos are drooling over the footage that will come in from this one. It might turn into an hour special all by itself. Happy general b-day period, scats!
