Zoomsplat Squids

Brought to you by Senor Editor.

It’s busybusy time at Media Headquarters and Sensational Acres this month, but I thought I’d take a moment and share with you the newest additions to my biker babe vocabulary.

I have it on good authority from Senor that the proper name for a super-fast motorcycle is not “crotch rocket,”, it’s “zoomsplat,” because that’s what they do: first the zoom, then the splat. The people who ride zoomsplats are usually squirrelly kids, shortened to squids. You might see squids popping wheelies on the freeway or weaving dangerously in and out of traffic.

Start seeing zoomsplats!

Today around the world: May 4 is Buddha’s birthday to many of this world’s citizens. It’s also Vesak Full Moon Poya Day in Sri Lanka and National Teacher Day in the U.S. If you can read this, thank a teacher. And Buddha, just to be safe.
