While We Wait: Writer's Block & Other Lame Excuses

My hometown's bus line got stolen by gypsies.

Norway?

Romania.

New York City is scary.

I mean, it's objectively safer than DC in pretty much all crime statistics.

BUT THERE ARE LOUD CARS AND OH JEEZ IS THAT POTHOLE SMOKING AND WHY IS EVERYONE WALKING SO FAST

 

[Luckymoose]

Everyone is walking so fast because of criminals.

 

[Tycho]

Romania.

Ah, I see now, my bad.

As a New Yorker, I must admit that our public transportation system seems to only be intelligible to locals.

That being said, if you understand the system, it is actually pretty efficient, although the fact that there's pretty much no subway line connecting Brooklyn and Queens without going through Manhattan is pretty ridiculous.

 

[bombshoo]

I've had pretty much no trouble with the NYC public transit system the few times I've been there. I got around pretty easy. Though I admittedly I haven't had to visit anywhere outside of Manhattan via the public transit system.

Actually when I visited friends in NYC it was so. furking. quiet. I learned that recently a "no honking without a good reason or else we give you a 300-800 dollar fine" law was put into effect and a bunch of people got busted, which scared everyone into quietude. ANYWAY.

No really? Everyone must be really high strung then, without that emotional outlet.

You should see Indian streets. Or rather, hear them, as you probably could from miles away. Honks of every race, ethnicity, and creed.

 

[bonefang]

well said, qoou ..

Add to it, the impossible levels of pollution from the smoke spewing from the vehicles.

 

[Thlayli]

My favorite part about Indian driving as I experienced it was the 'high death zones' on the highways marked with road signs bearing the skull and crossbones.

The fact that I was able to take a nap on one such voyage is a testament either to massive exhaustion on my part or being convinced that it wasn't yet my time.

 

[bonefang]

OOC : Thlayli was in India ?? :O
I didnt think there were many from / around india

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Thlayli traveled to work in India a while ago, he's a med student.

 

[bonefang]

I feel sorry for him already.

The European Union (flag pictured) is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for "the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe".

Peace out y'all! Tho IMO its all a bit of a joke after they gave it to Obama (corporate war-dog).

 

[Symphony D.]

mmm yessss because a peace prize established by a man who invented dynamite was indeed always free of any irony before that dastardly nuke-reducing anti-proliferating war-ender obama was selected for it

Because inventing dynamite adds any irony to it? I'm sorry, I was not aware that dynamite was invented solely for the purpose of warfare.

cha brah bcuz nobel had no reason 2 feel guilty or nothin ur write im dum

It still was not invented for warfare. <snip> Nobel found the misuse of his inventions in terrible warfare as reason enough to support such a prize, but it is not in anyway ironic.
