Flashed on my way home.

I don't know how I totally forgot to post this.
Yesterday when I was going home, it started raining around 10 min after I left work. So I'm going along, have my clear lenses on. There are these 3 chicks walking down the street, obviously caught in the rain, soaked, and I mean see thru type soaked. One of em, white v-neck, yellow bra, jeans, sees me staring at her as I'm passing by (mistake #1) and decides to pull the collar on the v-neck open to expose her bra, obviously you know where my eyes are (mistake #2). Next thing I know, I'm halfway into busting through a red light, I jammed on my brakes, realized there wasn't anyone coming, and took off.

I bet she was thinking, "take a good look perv, cause you're about to crash in 3...2..."
My bad.

That's pretty funny, she almost got you.

Reminds me of when I was in tech. school in the Air Force, being young and smart-assed. There was a rough road that ran along behind the hanger, next to where we took our breaks from class. Well one day this captain comes rolling through on his bike. Seeing the potential, I called the area to attention and threw a salute. Of course the poor captain returned the salute and almost ate it on a pothole.

That's sooo funny..... only because you're still here to tell the story.

If you got cleaned up in that intersection your memorial would have to have been a ghost bra instead of a ghost bike

Then there's the time-honored tradition of females showing boobage or wearing the esteemed "butt floss" bikini bottom, where people in cars going around those parking lots by the pier (searcing in vain for a parking space) can see, and laughing at the ensuing crashes. And there always are.

On Fridays, turn your headlight(s) on during your ride home in the evening - maybe a faithful Leykis listener will flash you.

Here is Pacific Beach/Mission Beach (San Diego, California) the ladies in bikinis have gone nuts for beach cruiser bikes in bright colors. Pink and white is definitely in. Many ride along the boardwalk by the beach and it is the pedestrians that are falling on their faces. I don’t care much for beach cruisers so you know what I am looking at.

It's just like the old days, when sirens perched on cliffs would lure sailors into shipwrecking...

Just this evening I was I the Old Town going along a small side street and there was a very cute waitress wearing only a skimpy thong and a apron! I couldn't beleive it and asked her what was going on. She told me that she had forgotten her work skirt and her boss told her to work anyway! It was quite a sight. Luckily the young lass had a sense of humor and found it to be funny as well.

well, think of it this way...even if you got wiped out in the intersection, at least you would have died a happy man. the mortician would have asked "why does this guy have a smile on his face?".
