Today I ran over a snake... on my bike. I was riding down the canyon and there were people on my left so I couldn't swerve. It was just a little garter snake and I clipped it below its head. I actually felt bad for the ugly thing. It was just trying to sun itself on a lazy Saturday morning and was not likely the same snake that caused my 2004 spectacular rollerbladding crash. That accident left me with scars on my knees and elbows and road rash that lasted weeks. I tried to save that snake by swerving and ended up in a bloody heap next to the path. Thankfully I did not repeat my mistake today. Sorry snake, your death was caused by your 8th cousin once removed. That's what they call "almost payback."

Snake Karma.
So explain this one to me. A couple of weeks ago I was riding my bike to work and a small rabbit darted out and under my tire. It happened so fast I had no time to dodge it. I couldn't even stop due to the cyclist on my tail.
I have never been attacked by a rabbit or anything, should I be expecting some payback in the future? Maybe a giant bunny name frank that tortures my inner-self (for example).
See snakes deserve that, just for existing. I'm really not a snake fan.
The other day we were in this tourist shop and they had these little envelopes with "rattlesnake eggs" in it. So being the idiot I am, I pick it up and go to peek inside and the whole envelope shakes. I shrieked and started giggling. Robb was like, "you've never seen that before?" Anyhow, kinda funny.
eyun, that sort of stuff only happends to donnie. your paypack will be that the easter bunny never comes to your house... EVER. poor neko, missing out because her daddy's a rabbit killer. in truth, i'm impressed you didn't wipe out. i have skinny tires on my road bike so i think the score would be: rabbit 1, aisy 0
dani, i've never seen those things either. remember when i screamed in the store playing that shock game with you kris and dave?
Can I just say that this entire exchange is hilarious. You people are amazing in so many respects. Ha ha ha... Aisy, you spelled it "rollerbladding" I know it doesn't effect anything, but it made me smile and feel some bliss all alone in a house in Scotland. Cheers guys!
ha ha. i didn't even catch that. i was rolling over my bladder.
Ouch! That must have hurt. Bad for the bladder.
Maybe you were rolling over an adder. Then you could have rollerbladded an adder.
It bothers me that you were biking with people on the left. That kind of socialist tendency leads to dangerous thinking, to reptilian mayhem, and who knows where it will end.
My friend hit a small dog on his bike accidentally a few times. The trick is speed. If you're going slow, you'll wipe out.
The same friend hit snakes on his bike intentionally a couple of times--and stopped to kill it. He said it was because he once was bit by a rattle snake. I was still mad at him. (we were probably 11 or 12 when this happened).
You KILLED ANGEL!!! AISLINN! you didn't tell me that on purpose!! I am glad you didn't die yourself, but, the people probably would have healed!
