Mischievous Unicycling Grandparents? Some shady characters their members are, always up to no-good. I think I've seen them hold their bi-weekly meetings in the Target parking lot before heading out to cause mayhem. I remember because I thought it was ironic they were having bi-weekly meetings yet are so opposed to bi-cycles.
