A $2 Million Car, A Pelican And A Lagoon

By Richard Connelly in Whatever
Thu., Nov. 12 2009 @ 10:09AM

Here is a sentence with so many strange and wonderful parts in it that it's best just to let it speak for itself:

A Lufkin man drove his $2 million Bugatti sportscar into a Galveston-area lagoon after being distracted by a pelican.

First, who spends $2 million on a car? And second, of all the places you'd expect such a person to be from, Lufkin would be right behind oh, say, La Porte. Third, you've got the whole aspect of the vengeful, possibly jealous, pelican. It's pretty much the signature bird of the island, of course, so it's symbolically lots better than if the driver had been distracted by a grackle shitting on his precious windshield.

Finally, there's the lagoon. Ain't got no lagoons in Lufkin.

Oh, and here's their thread with the linked video, as when I went to the other one in this thread, there was a message it had been removed from youtube: http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2009/11/that_bugatti_crash_was_caught.php

18. Oh if the owner drives up to a nightclub in it.....

...then he's pretty much guaranteed to pull. No doubt about that.

Even if a Lambo is one of the least sensible cars possible to take into Central London.

11. The strobey reflections off the hood of that thing would blind you or drive you mad night or day.

Stick a red light in the grill that moves side to side and that thing could be cool. For a geek like me, anyway.
