... where I live). I mean, really, is there an anymore blatant way to announce how disgustingly rich you are? Plus, you look ridiculous. Get a bicycle. Or better yet, walk inverted like the rest of the population. It's what separates us from apes. You should celebrate that. Having said that, the Washington Capitals are way cooler than most on a Segway, and Ovechkin is hilarious. Although they still look like complete dorks: Dan Steinberg from the D.C.

... beginning, I’ve been a bigger Ovechkin fan than a Sid the Kid fan. Don’t get me wrong, I think Crosby is the better player and he’s a joy to watch (he even reminds me a bit of Yzerman), but Alexander Ovechkin’s goofy personality wins me over everytime.
