I am Segway, hear me roar

Everyone is emailing me this story (I have no idea why), so here goes:

Please hold a moment while we check our calendars. Nope, it’s definitely not April 1. That must mean a General Motors tie-up with Segway must be true. The Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project (P.U.M.A. for short) will seek to develop a self balancing two-wheeled vehicle capable of reaching speeds of 35 mph – well above the Segway’s 12 mph top speed—for 35 miles.

I’ve added a quick ‘n’ crappy Photoshop job below the fold for your enjoyment. Never forget everything I’ve done for you…

hahahahahhahahahahahahhahhahaha!

You chose the right photo of harriet! Where are the orange balloons though?  And shouldn’t she be mowing down a black child or chris matthews?

More photoshops please!

I wonder if j4h would fit in one of these…

Clearly, an inadequate black car.

win.

Oh dear. I can hardly wait for the conspiracy theories to start flying. In the meantime, Tom65 please step forward to collect your prize: The Entire & Complete Internons.

Heh. I was going to have her yelling, “This is an inadequate black personal urban mobility and accessibility vehicle!,” but I thought it was funny enough on its own. Lemme know if I should rethink that.

Clearly GM chose PUMA to ride the wave of publicity that was Time magazine’s 8th hottest political buzzword of 2008.

8th!

Does J4H really need one of those; I thought her mummy never let it out.

No.

No.No.No.no.NO!!!!!!1!

  They are calling it a PUMA? WTF?

  That thing is a death trap!

Come on, goandersen—run with the metaphor. YOU ARE SO DAMN CLOSE!

So it’s basically just one of the little cars you ride in at the Haunted Mansion.

When you pass a mirror, does a ghostly image of Hillary as president appear on the seat next to you?

That definitely ranks right up there with one of the best PUMA comments ever.

More more more!

Lemme know if I should rethink that.

The pshop is dangerously funny enough. You’ll have to post a health warning if you’re going to add speech bubbles.

And please, wait til I’ve finished lunch so I don’t snarf rice all over the place.

Too late.

Thanks. Really. My monitor is covered with a fine mist of tea and my co-workers are reaching for the big nets and straight jacket. Again.

Go

I rode on an upright Segway, owned by a campus cop. It was great. Sitting in one of these would be strange, and they go wacky when hitting a bump or on uneven pavement. They will have to make it better under these conditions or there will be PUMAs causing lots of trouble.

Now that statement fits with current events! 

Actually,

they go wacky when hitting a bump or on uneven pavement

seems rather more accurate.

I am PUMA! Hear me WHIR!

Cue the theme from Benny Hill

Guess what’s now stuck in my head?

Benny Hill and Pumas…the mind boggles.

Is that Tony Curtis?

“Wacky” in the sense that you want to keep riding over the same spot of road again and again until the clouds melt, your toes curl and you realize in your heart of hearts that whatever you thought you had going with the washing machine was nothing more than a silly schoolgirl infatuation.

I had to borrow your pic to use on the Democratic Underground it was brill. I cannot see Hairpot using it though, it is the wrong colour. PUMAs would be most offended if it not produced in white only.

I can imagine SusanKKK demanding to know if it was a muslim car.

I wonder if j4h would fit in one of these…

They definitely need to make an orange one for her, outfit it with twinkle lights and put it into the Disneyland Electric Light Parade as a replacement for the Cinderella pumpkin carriage.

you realize in your heart of hearts that whatever you thought you had going with the washing machine was nothing more than a silly schoolgirl infatuation.

Oh Maytag, you had me at spin cycle.

Because it’s a PUMA pod, Kevin K. That’s why. Or was that a rhetorical question?

Yet another reason to work on my Photoshop skills. Wish I had thought of that.

This just may be the quote of the year, from the good folks at Wonkette ...

the PUMA runs on 100% pure denial! You never put fuel in it, instead you sit in the driver seat and pretend like its moving, all the while bitching about other motorist that are passing you by!

I just don’t think you can get any closer to the absolute dumbassery of the Hambeast and friends than that statement.

This gives a whole new meaning to the “PUMA Prowl.”

@Allan—Now we just need to invent a simple, energy-efficient device that will lift them off their living room couches and transfer them into their individual PumaPods.

Is it just me or does that thing look like a wheelchair with a windshield?  The perfect PUMA vehicle.

Hilarious. Thank you!

Somebody hit “Play” on the 8-track. Whitey tape’s in it.

It never crashes, so the helmets the drivers will no doubt be wearing will stand out even more.

I wonder if my “the club” will fit on the steering wheel, or will thieves just put it in their trunk!

I had assumed that Pumas were far to obese to be able to fit in that car. 

Anyway, the Pumas will be quitely reassured by this that Hillz has put pressure on the automakers due to the evil stimulus and is sending them a super secret message to revolt and kick out the usurper.
