\"Helping\" the Bubble Man.

So, I'm walking down the 3rd Street Promenade (pedestrian mall with street performers) in Santa Monica Saturday night, with my SF E2E in my pocket. There's a Bubble Man blowing nice fat bubbles of various shapes and configurations, some even with smoke inside, and he's lighting them up with a big 3D M@glight as they float around in front of the crowd. He's having a little trouble with a breeze, and some of the bubbles get away from him, out of range of the M@g, so I whip out my E2E to "help". I'm lighting these beautiful little creations up until they are thirty or forty feet in the air, but meanwhile he's trying to create another bubble and light it with his M@g while people are watching "my" bubbles. Next thing I know, he shoots me a dirty look that has the wicked digit written all over it and gives me a loud "Harrumph!" I extinguished my E2E and went on my way.

Moral: Don't upstage the Bubble Man with a better flashlight. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

That would make a great signature line!

Next time, light him up with a SureFire M6! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Re: Bubble Butthead!

My vast experience in this area would indicate that the L4 would be the superior tool, actually. Better photonic dispersion. But damn! Anything would be better than the Mag, eh?
 
Re: Bubble Butthead!

Yeah Darell...but would a L4 have enough throw?

Considering he wants peoples eyes on HIM and not bubbles he blew 20 minutes ago, maybe a Mag is the perfect tool for this job! Or an L4, but an L4 wouldn't be the perfect tool to upstage him with ;-)

Actually, if anything he needs a rechargable.

Good thing you weren't on Venice Beach! Bubble-Man would have probably jumped on his motor-driven-scooter-skateboard-rollerblade and chased you down! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Come to think of it, it's a DANG good thing you weren't near that Promenade at Arizona Ave. on the afternoon of the 16th, eh???

Glad to see you're okay! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif
 
Re: Bubble Butthead!

The /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hahaha.gif"wicked digit". I love that.
Actually, I bet any of us would have done the same.
