Lazy people in Las Vegas need “The Rascal”…

I guess it’s just been one of those days.
I’m the only one left here at the office on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, and I’ve got nothing better to do other than to surf the far reaches of the Internet. You’re obviously saying to youself, “…just go home you idiot!”. I wish it were that easy. We’ve got a FedEx pick-up that I’m waiting on.
Anyways, I posted that picture earlier this morning of that lady pushing her baby stroller (with kid inside) while riding on a Segway herself. I don’t know the lady personally, but she better have an f-ing good excuse for that kind of crap. How lazy are we these days? Was she wearing a cast that I couldn’t see? From the picture it actually looks likes she’s working much harder than had she just been hoofing it on her own two feet. Dumb.
Nonetheless, in my boredom, I ran across this article from MSNBC about the increasing number of people in Vegas that are renting motorized scooters to get around The Strip, and even inside the casinos. These are the exact same vehicles usually reserved for the handicapped and the elderly.

Am I over-reacting here, or is this not ridiculous? Get off your asses!! I’m assuming these people are all married because they sure as hell aren’t getting laid riding around on one of those things. Not even Brad Pitt could make “The Rascal” look cool. I realize the strip is just huge now, but get in a cab if you feel like you have to see everything.
“It was all the walking,” 27-year-old Simon Lezama said on his red Merits Pioneer 3. Lezama, a trim and fit-looking restaurant manager from Odessa, Texas, rented it on day three of his five-day vacation, “and now I can drink and drive, be responsible and save my feet.” Who goes to Vegas for 5 days Simon? How were the nickel slots at the MGM? Did Celine get a standing ovation?
To be fair, they’re not doing anything illegal. The rental agencies do not discriminate, as they’re willing rent to anyone willing to pay, and the renters are entitled to all the privileges afforded to the actually handicapped.
Just my opinion, but save “The Rascal” for those that need it. If you’re enjoying Vegas the way it was meant to be enjoyed, you should be too drunk to drive that thing anyways. It’s not even a stretch of my imagination envisioning my buddy Mikey doubled over on that thing in his urine-soaked khakis without spilling a drop of his Crown and Coke, and still managing to bitch out the new guy for splitting kings. Ah, Vegas.
That’s all I’ve got. Enjoy your 3-day weekend!
