News, but not the serious kind

Get out of the way for courier couture!

Jun 24, 2009 06:33 EDT

Blog Guy, you’ve helped all kinds of professions find high-fashion attire to suit their needs. Ventriloquists, police decoys, even Smurfs. Can you help my proud profession, bicycle messengers?

I see you cycle couriers all over downtown areas, zipping along, always a violent curse on your lips. Do you have a slogan, like that rain and sleet one the postmen have?

“Get out of my way or I’ll kill you.”

Yeah, that seems to fit perfectly. I think I can help you. Check these outfits from the Emporio Armani show in Milan.

“You touch my bike and I’ll stick this handlebar so far up…”

Hey, is that another one of your slogans?

No, I’m just sayin’ that to you personally…
