Who else is guilty of sleeping like a burrito?

i am! XD

Me too, especially during December and January.

me too but its mainly for mosquito protection XP

so TS, Iraya, Fox and me, that's 4 burritos ... I mean 3 burritos and a tortilla wonder what the final count would be.

Looks like i know now who General Grievous commissioned to build his bike.

If it's only got one wheel, is it still called a bike? Doesn't that make it a unicycle?

Good question. Uni-motorcycle maybe? D

So how do you steer a one wheeled bike?

That road hog either got inspiration from General Grievous, or watched too much Spiral Zone when he was a kid.

I bet K. Okawara and K. Kondo would approve of that design (and Okawara might add: Needs bigger back packs)

Apparently, it's called a Monowheel:

Quote:Like the HyperBike, this seems to be another vehicle whose only practical use is roaming around a parking lot. But unlike the HyperBike, there is no way to fucking turn the Monowheel--not unless you want to turn over with it. Heck, even going straight forward seems like a risky maneuver with this vehicle, seeing as it's more unstable than the average South American republic.

Though, if you're going straight forward you now have a wheel blocking your field of vision.

Really, that's just the beginning of your problems. The thing about motorcycles and unicycles is that, if you crash, you'll be thrown clear and can potentially cushion your fall with a bush or an unsuspecting clown, respectively. With the Monowheel, any crash means your head will be abruptly and terminally introduced to piece of metal directly in front of you. And since this thing can get up to 53 mph (with a theoretical max of 100, which seems like a number they pulled out of their ass), that's no laughing matter.

Real men sleep without shirts and blankets!

Since my mind 56% female, I sleep without a shirt but with a blanket.

unfortunately I am a prime target for mosquitoes considering my considerable gait XP
