on being Elmer Fudd
Feb. 7th, 2005 03:10 pmOn Saturday I went for a jog. I'm moving along, enjoying the (relative) warmth & sun when I notice that the scenery looks awfully familiar.
And something's wrong.
The scenery isn't moving.
So I look down, and discover that I'm running in place on a patch of black ice. I slowed down to a walk, and gingerly stepped off of it. Then I kept running.
I was happy that I didn't land on my ass, but I felt that it would have been appropriate.
I was struck by the simultaneous applicability of "You wascally wabbit!" (well, specifically a piece in which Bugs described how he made those speed lines occur in the air) & "To move quickly, slow down.".
