The little old lady name Jean Misulia
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
Has a pretty little flowerbed of white gardenias
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
But parked in a tree out in the back
Is a brand-new, shiny green Arctic Cat

And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner
Than the little old lady from Massapequa
She drives real fast and she takes her chances
She's the terror of New Hampshire's Lake Frances

It's the little old lady from Massapequa...

Sure it wasn't her coccyx?

+1, I got the song stuck in my head too after reading the headline, but couldn't come up with anything clever.

"Launched"?

T-minus 5, 4, 3...

The Onion is prophetic: +1, I got the song stuck in my head too after reading the headline, but couldn't come up with anything clever.

Technically, she's from Old Bethpage, NY, not Massapequa, but it's close enough, and it was easier to use.

So the stream is in a tree and some bushes?

Now how are you going to sue the snowmobile company, the landowner and the gas station that sold you the fuel with just a hurt wrist?

Snowmobile company was negligent in not putting a sticker on the machine: Warning! Operating this vehicle may result in hurt wrist.

Landowner: Allowing a known hazzard to exist resulting in a hurt wrist.

Gas Station Owner: Was negligent in warning the purchaser of fuel that she may be injured wristally if she put that fuel in to a vehicle.

I have a GED in lawyerality and even I know I can't get her enough money to justify taking 50% of it. Might as well go down to the grocery store and stage a slip and fall,

My 72 year old MIL did this just a couple weeks ago. She was fine. She is more active than my nearly 40 year old self, probably better shape and health too.

I don't understand why this article was here, or why it was promoted by Fark admins.

Both subby and approvers wasted our time.

That snowmobile looks pretty aggressive for a 72 year old to be riding on it. Any Farkers know what type of sled that is and if it would be hard to control if you slammed the throttle?

Umm... I come here for fun/snarky information. Not boring ass stuff like the article in question. I also find you totally uninteresting... please drown yourself, and not return comment.

Walk it off, Granny. Ya big pussy.

The only reason she ran it up a tree was because there were no convenience stores nearby.

Arctic Cat Sabre Cat 500 EFI. About 80 horsepower, 491 lbs dry weight. It's no radical machine but you have to hold on to it. It's a good upper end beginner machine/mild trail machine. Good for women and younger riders.

You want to complain? Look at these shoes. I've only had them three weeks and the heels are worn right through. If you complain nothing happens, you might as well not bother. My back hurts, it's not a very fine day, and I'm sick and tired of this office.



/waah, waah!

Meh. My 79-year-old mom crashed her motorcycle and walked away with some road rash and a few stitches. Then she danced at my wedding a week later. Ta da!

Thanks Meuran, I was wondering how much power she had in that sled. That doesn't seem too bad.
