We spend way too much time in our cars here. I'm used to seeing people driving while:
* talking on a cell phone
* applying mascara
* writing a check
* reading a map
* rehearsing lines for an audition
* sipping a latte
* reaching for something in another seat
...hopefully not all of the above, at once.
But yesterday as I was headed down Sawtelle, I caught out of the corner of my eye someone weaving in the next lane. Not excessively weaving, just enough to make me wonder if I had missed something in the road.
On my right, a bit ahead: the telltale rattley-putt-putt-clank of the ancient VW bus, in burnt orange and rust-spot, slathered with assorted "peace is the way" and "the earth is our mother" sentiments, piloted by the requisite aging hippie.
Who was gnawing on what appeared to be a giant, barbecued beef rib.

that's hilarious...maybe it was like tofurkey..only a tofurib or something like that
My personal "best" is tying a tie, talking on a cell phone, looking at a Thomas Guide, and eating a Big Mac while driving on the 91 E out to Riverside.
Then again, that's just me.

I hate the nose pickers. What makes people think that being behind the wheel of a car makes them invisible?
You spelled 'carnivorous' wrong.
GAHHHHKK!!! Thank you! How did that escape my notice? I'll go change it right now.
Ahhhh. Better.
At least the post wasn't titled "Carniverous Idiots." Heh heh.
