… when, at 9:30 am, you are practically run over by 5 guys, dressed to the nines in suits and ties wobbling over the cobblestones on 5 shiny new, coordinated (not matching, coordinated) Vespas. As if this weren’t odd enough, it turns out that these 5 Uneasy Riders were actually the Queer Eye guys. I’m not sure if it was the scooters, or the early hour, but they did not look happy.

Oh, and to make this post somewhat usability relevant, check out the right-hand nav on the Vespa site. I’m frequently asked for RHN examples and I can never come up with one in the moment. This one has a nice 3-D effect that neatly defines the 4th Column, which is used in this case purely for graphic continuity with the rest of the page. The site also has lots of great imagery and other fun stuff like this guy who, I think, may have something different in mind than the Queer Eye guys…
