Posted on Facebook about my hopeless conversation with Kelly Benjamin that was capped off by a fat man on a Segway. The more I think about it, the more potent a symbol it becomes to me of the current excesses and ridiculousness in our society. I'm not sure what makes a Segway rider look so ridiculous, but I think its the same thing as the appliance salesman who jumped in the washing machine to show its durability. Humans gliding along with perfect posture just always looks ridiculous. It's the most self-consciously sci-fi thing you can do to yourself because it makes you look just like a robot. Halloween costume idea: midget on a Segway. Build a fake Segway that works like a Dorf set......
