ANYWAY- There is a man in Austintown who has no legs and drives around on an electric wheelchair (or Rascal) all day long. Sometimes, he has American flags waving off the back, sometimes he has "Support Our Troops" signs hanging in the front, but whatever is displayed on his scooter, one thing remains the same: All he does is putter around Austintown. It doesn't even phase me anymore to see Legless (as I'll now refer to him as) puttering around random parts of town. although, I will admit my surprise at seeing him down by Wal-Mart one day, which is like, THREE MILES away from his normal 'hood.
So Felix calls me Sunday and was like, "BABE! [LEGLESS] IS SITTING IN TRAFFIC!!! I GOTTA GO I'M GOING TO TRY AND TAKE VIDEO WITH MY BLACKBERRY AND SEND IT TO YOU".
A few things to note: Felix, while he is a funny guy who likes to have a good time, rarely gets overly excited about things. That's my department. I usually have enough excitement for both of us...plus 10. So, to hear him that excited about Legless? It had to be something good.
Apparently, Felix was sitting at the stoplight by a bridge that is undergoing renovations, so there is no walkway for Legless and his wheelchair. Did that stop Legless? No way! He sat in traffic, at the redlight, surrounded by cars. He may not have legs, but DAMN that guy has balls!!!
Felix wasn't able to get video, but he got this semi-crappy picture while passing Legless in the left lane:
Oh, and by the way? I totally blame the Sham Wow guy for the demise of Billy Mays.
R.I.P. Billy!!!
