Stephen Colbert Has Seen the Greatness of America and It is a Dude Popping Wheelies in the Lincoln Tunnel When I was in college, I lived on a narrow street that was highly trafficked in the summer because it was right near the beach. One day, we sat out on the front yard in lawn chairs, with a couple cases of beer, and we put the trash can out on the curb with a sign on it, saying "Slow: judging in progress." Then we made signs, with numbers from 1-10. And everybody that drove by would get a rating, like in Olympic figure skating and whatnot. Originally, the idea was to rate the women by looks. Dude went around the block, came back, and did a wheelie down the whole street. Then he went around 2 or 3 more times, doing a different trick each time. We were thrilled about it, but just imagine how much we made that guy's day. Then the cops came and shut us down.
