umbrellas. How many channels do you think they get on these things? When you consider the size of the umbrellas and the general obliviousness pedestrians have to anything around them, it's surprising that no one loses an eye on the sidewalks. |

It's a miracle of spontaneous choreography to watch the people of Seoul walk down those crowded sidwalks without getting their umbrellas tangled. I almost want to set it to classical music, rotoscope it, and turn it into a Fantasia type animation sequence. |

I got one in the forehead just a few days ago. It even left a mark. It wasn't even raining when it happened either. |

Sharpen the tips of your ubrellas ribs (is that what they are called) with a steel file until they are pin sharp.
Either that or cut groove in the end and super glue small razors into the ends.
You shall always win the battle of the umbrellas wherever you go and your enemy shall always be wet and shredded. |

I like big umbrellas. The regular size ones don't cut it. I usually walk around with a backpack and the regular umbrellas would keep me dry but the diameter was small enough where all the water just ran off directly onto my backpack.
Also, I'm all about having ladies under my umbrella. Extra large Umbrella has room for 1 maybe 2 other females. |

Umbrella warfare happens a lot. I've lost a few battles. I don't like when many umbrellas are still up after the rain stops. |

I always buy big umbrellas. Small ones don't protect well enough. |

Id just slow it right down to about 20% then set it to 2001 style classical. |

I agree!! I only use one if it's REALLY coming down AND I have to walk more than a couple of blocks AND the temperature is lower than 18C (64F)!
And I am a GIRL!! |
