I drive invisible carts at work & the guests will sacrifice themselves for squirrels

[Zazu]

for what it's worth I'd throw myself in front of a cart for a lizard. All lizards are named Bob, and once you've named it, you get attached to it.

Wait a minute, not all lizards are named Bob. I know one who's named Bill!

Do not forget the Frilled Necked Lizard named FRank in the Rescuers Down Under.

Goanna is a type of lizard, a big one.

I believe you're right. My wife calls all the geckos here Bob.

Well that was his name in the movie... but the actor that played him was named Bob. :)

My wife and I joke that my wheelchair (or powerchair, even more so) is secretly equipped with a Romulan Cloaking Device.

There have been many times that people have tripped over or into my chair, even when I was in plain sight and *completely stationary*.
And then glared at me as if I ran into them/ran them over.

There was one time in (NOLA's) the French Quarter, when we had a teenage girl trot straight down a long stretch of otherwise empty narrow sidewalk, with us *yelling at her* and me waving my arms yet she still ran straight over me! head-on.
(I couldn't dodge without falling off a steep curb/kerb).

Another time, at the Folsom Street Fair in SF, a fellow tripped over my (then-best-friend, now-also-wife) wife, by stepping *between* her footrests, then saying he didn't see her.

We worry that these folks must absolutely flatten small children...as they can't see someone from waist-to-chest high...?

Otherwise, the w/c manufacturers truly _have_ invented cloaking technology...

(This post, while true, was meant to be humorous...)

My heartfelt sympathies.

My wife usually laughs at the way I decorate her wheelchair with flashyshiny lights...until about the third or fourth person careens right into her. I have had to, um, "confiscate" her expanding-light-sword-flashlight thing that she likes to use to impart clue concussively to the navigation-challenged.
