IN MIAMI, NOBODY WOULD EVEN NOTICE THIS GUY

(Thanks to Eleanor)

Comments

Link down, first anyway

Sorry in honor of story: yawyna tsrif ,nwod kniL

wurked fer me

I wonder if he was a driving a Subaru in the outback going backwards like that.

Y'know, I've driven in the Outback of Eastern Australia, and I must say that I'm surprised that anyone noticed there, either.

Dave, I think he deserves an honorary Florida driver's license?

Isn't this what the rearview mirror is for?

Woo hoo, Eleanor!

Aww, c'mon now. I mean, if he's driving fine, what's reckless about that? So what that his trunk is in front...so is a Delorean's! Or a Beetle's! What's wrong with that?!?

did the driver look like this guy from Cars (tm thing)?

He slowed down from 50 to 30 because he was swerving too much. Sounds like he was being safe to me.

Kinda hard to dodge the kangaroo carcasses when you're driving backwards.

Kangaroo Carcass WBAGNFARG, too.

oh and YAY Eleanor!

Why would Reverse Kangaroo Carcass Slalom be dificult?

You wouldn't even need a gay tar to talk you through it.

A woman sees on the news that there is a man driving the wrong direction on a local highway. She knows her husband will be coming home from work on that highway, so she calls his cell phone to warn him to be careful.

Wife: Sweetheart, it says on the news that there's a man driving the wrong way on the highway!

Man: Just one? There're hundreds!

Tough to see over the trunk. Too, depending upon the state of decay, the carcasses are sometimes pretty well slumped into the macadam, and you really only detect them by odor.

Of course, there's also the risk of producing fresh carcasses - most vehicles that trek the Outback in Australia are equipped with "bull bars" on the front, but very few are so equipped on the back, as well.

*lends Chris a 'c'*

LOL Bumble....heard it but with an "elderly gentleman" at the wheel.

Tar?? On a road?
The letters on my keyboard are wandering around again.
Read that as Car, and maybe it will make more sense.

pass your exit? no problem...just do a "miami" move...put her in reverse on the side of the road.

Just about to pass your exit? No problem again...pull a "new yorker" and cut 4 lanes of rush hour traffic

yummmm macadamia nuts!

Or you could do a "boston" and just crash through traffic, demolition-derby style.

I gained a healthy respect for Boston traffic (and a resolve to NEVER drive there) when I noted that the busses there have stripes of paint down their sides.

This would have to mean he turns right at Albuquerque.

Siouxie, Macadamia Nuts with Rotted Kangaroo is not yummy.

Macadam isn't either, but it is the Aussie term for asphalt, if I recall my Aussie language lessons correctly.

hmm back to back simuls on a monday morning...I say the week is starting out purty dang good!

thanks boys!

lol Meanie...

CH I knew that!! (just like the way you splain things) *wink*

The guy's a glutton for punishment: driving backwards on the wrong side of the road.

YO!!!! (jewish dislexic)

*learned to drive in Boston traffic*

What's all the hubbub, Bub?

Oh, and get outta my way *crash*

eixuoiS@*!KRONS*

Wasn't anyone else on the "NEW" Palmetto Expressway entry ramp (only took 2 years to finish and it's still not complete!!!!!) at 36th street going south at 12:30 yesterday? You have to commit to getting on before you see the traffic situation so you are trapped as I was and several million other folk were who did have to be somewhere at a certain time (or my kid would not be in the GMYS photo for the program! Ack!)So we'all backed down the entry ramp coming from the east side of the Palmetto. Call us brazen if you want, but it was the only way to get back to 36th street and then go east to Le Jeune to go south. My son shrieked in terror but a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do! Definitely a Florida Drivers Licence should be issued immediately to this Aussie!

*Thank goodness there were no roo-parts on the ramp!

hehe...I got a KRONS!!

*does the moon walk* (appropriately enough)

*spiz tuo* :)

I started a trend.

Tonight I will be serving chocolate mousse as an appetizer, burgers instead of salad, and salad after the burgers. I will attempt to pour all beverages behind my back.

*sedolpxe niarb*

*krons* KDF! ;)

He has to drive that way, since he's in the Southern Hemisphere and things are opposite down there. They drive the British way on the wrong side of the road, with the steering wheel on the passenger side. Plus it's almost summer there. And water spirals down the 'loo' anti-clockwise down there, not clockwise like in the Northern Hemisphere. This whole story made me dizzy.

in portland, all the stoned, polite drivers on our roads would kindly wave him on or just pull over to let him pass. the cops would probably have given him a police escort.
