this is the final grocery store experiment. this took place at 800 s & 900 e. there now is a sign posted at the door that states "no bicycles are allowed in the store", yeah, one can't even walk one's bicycle in the store. if one tries ti do so, one will be forced to leave it up front. i hope, i was not the reason for this new enforcement. if i was, apologies to every cyclist in the state of utah.
i am ready for the bipedal experiment I.
ReplyDeleteyet another reason to just shop at the other smiths, or at whole foods where they THANK you for riding your bike when they see you. Heck you can go in there and MEET other members of our community... and you probably should because the doods and chicas that work there are awesome.
ReplyDeleteblablablabla
my comments are too long.
Im sure your friends are rad but a bigwig at Whole Foods said they wanted to be the Walmart of health food.
ReplyDeleteew.
pretty slick vid though
That was actually pretty dickish I must say. Walking your bike through the store is one thing, but riding around is just asking for bikes to be banned. While I have no problem with hooliganism, which that clearly was, I believe it has its place and time. And when you actually have something you would like to accomplish, stuff like that is counterproductive. The sign is not a surprise and should really have been expected. Geez, when did I become the adult.
ReplyDeleteTo actually constitute an experiment there needs to be a hypothesis to be tested. What was the hypothesis here, "Riding bikes in Smith's will result in bikes being banned from inside the store?" Bravo, mission accomplished.
ReplyDeleteGood job for ruining it eBOT :P heheh JK
ReplyDeletewow, ron has it in for my actions! do you know the whole story ron? i have come to understand you are a scientist. please excuse me for using the word "experiment" loosely, i am but a mere artist. also, during the filming of theses foolish, childish activities, i was never asked to leave or escorted out for any hooliganistic activities. "dickish"? yeah, you could say that. oh, what about assholeish, that is a good one too!
ReplyDeletesuch anger, ron. could it be some other issue or is it really me doing "dickish" things half way around the world in a small mormon city that sets you off?
there is a lot more i could say, but what i will say every one has a right to their opinions.
I don't have it in for your actions. Just that one. As I said, walking your bike through the store is one thing, but riding your bike though the store is just being childish. Maybe you were not asked to leave, but now bikes are banned from the store. It is counter-productive. It may have been possible to get a statement from the head office that bikes were allowed in the store, if someone were to go that route, but not anymore. It also paints a bad view of cyclists to the people shopping.
ReplyDeleteMy second comment on the experiment is basically to say "what did you expect?"
What anger? I am not being angry, I am just calling you on these counter-productive activities. Not angry at all. And why would you think there is some other issue? There is nothing personal here, I just think that it was a dumb thing to do and someone needed to say it. I really would like to know where you see anger, cause I was quite calm when I wrote it.
You are correct ebot, I did not know the whole story. I was not aware that you had rode around the store on a number of occasions without incident. I foolishly assumed that since you were documenting this (and the other "experiments") that there was some purpose. Perhaps, as I indicated, getting bikes to be allowed officially in the store since there seemed to be mixed experiences. I still say it was dickish because there was more here than just riding around the store whilst doing your shopping. As well, the intent here seemed to be pure hooliganism. Sad, because it is possible that someone may have been able to accomplish getting bikes allowed to be brought in the store.
ReplyDeleteI looked through my post again, still not sure where you see any anger. You actually seem to be set off a little there. Maybe you could just accept what I have to say as constructive criticism. That is, if your pride lets you.
And even a loose definition of experiment implies that there is some idea to be test. For example, I have this hypothesis that there are three types of hangovers: nausea, raging headache, and, most rare, the feeling of death. I have discovered this through rigorous testing in an experiment that I call "PBR friday." That is an experiment.
