Much more handsome too.

But thats the sort of thing hilarity is made out of..

I can't imagine how you wouldn't be able to realize it for that long. I've been in trucks like that before, and while he was most certainly in his blind spot I think he would have been able to make enough noise or something to let the driver know he was there.

I don't find it hard to believe... the engine is between the driver and the rider... plus all he coulda done is screamed and banged on the grill...

Haha! I'm glad he wasn't hurt.

Why the hell would he park his chair in front of a semi?

It almost seems like he wanted to do that.

My copy of Detriot Free Press says:

Carpenter, who has muscular dystrophy that put him in a wheelchair 7 1/2 years ago, had been out with an aide taking a ride along a wheelchair-accessible park in Paw Paw. He crossed the Red Arrow legally, his father, Don, said, but the light turned green before he got across.

The 18-wheel semi slowly took off, nudging the wheel-chair parallel to the grille, where the chair's handgrips slipped between the slats and got stuck. Its wheels dragged along the highway, leaving skid marks.

I dont get why some people find the word "pop" so odd in reference to your average carbonated soft drink.

In Missouri, we say "Soda Pop". When they ask us which one, we say "Coke".
2007-06-10, 7:35 PM #15
In california, we say "Beer."
When they ask us which one, we say "Sierra Mist."

[edit]
Actually, it's pretty much the same, we say "soda." And if we want an actual coke, we say "coke."

Soda pop seems like an old term for soda.

I could make a typical Massassain style snide remark pointing out your ignorance regarding the history of soda pop but rather than do that, I'll just post this:

I used to call it pop but I started calling it soda because that's what we're supposed to call it at work.

I read about this at work the other day. My friends and I were coming up with "alternative headlines for this story:

"Disabled man busted for cheating in wheel chair race"

"Disabled Man Searches for Alternative Means of Transportation After Social Security Checks Run Dry"

"Urban Black’s Take Gaudy Hood Ornaments a Step too Far?"

"Dare Devil Corky Goes for Wheelchair Ground Speed Record...Misses Mark by 3MPH!"

It's just sugar water, whatever you call it. Yuk.
2007-06-11, 10:03 AM #26
Its coke. Every type is coke. Soda and soda pop are just ridiculously silly. You say, I want a coke, and they say, what kind? And you say Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Root Beer, ect.

Why you should call every soft drink coke is beyond me. If you'd ask me to bring you a coke, I'd bring you a cola. If it was available I would bring you a Coca Cola.

Soda could be understood as simple carbonated water.

Just say what you want and be done with these stupid general terms!

Silly burgerboys.

...You order coke when you want pepsi?
nope.
2007-06-11, 10:58 AM #30
I just call everything pepsi. Whether its coke, orange crush, dr. pepper, I'll usually say, "Donne moi un pepsi!"

I usually call it soda, unless I'm talking to my friend from Kansas City. In that case, it's pop.
