That's awesome Maarts. If they served beer on Metro Transit here in Halifax, no one would go to work and the buses would be full of hammered people who never hit the bell to get off at their stop.

I love their original recipe chicken- bought a few pieces tonight and added that to a Chicken Caesar Salad.
Tasted great!
Trains have been about the only mode of transport I have ever bene on. I never owned a car.

The best train-moment- playing poker for money with total strangers in the aisle of an intercity-train from the Hague to Helmond, getting hammered on Heineken!

I like the popcorn chicken at KFC, when they have it. But I usually don't eat there.
I've been on trains before, many times (mainly when going to New York...it's great when NYC is just a train ride away). And no, I never groped anyone either.

Trains, trains, trains...
I nearly got arrested for turnstile-jumping in Paris last year...when my wife and I convinced ourselves we weren't smart enough to figure out the French-speaking ONLY computer vend-o-mats and then saw entire gypsy families pushing one another through the turnstile gates before they closed....so we got through one.....then another...but at the third one I saw a plainclothes copper draw a bead on me, flash his badge and motion me over to this hallway behing some sliding glass doors where all sorts of miscreants were emptying their bags on the ground for inspection.
I of course pleaded 'Stupid Non-French-speaking American' and showed great remorse and they HAD to let me go....in the meantime, my wife's like 'Where did he go?'
...and this was our FIRST day there!
~
Then there were the waaaasted frat boys duking it out on the Long Island Railroad on a Thanksgiving weekend 5-6 years ago when we caught the last train out of Penn Station to Great Neck....these people were determined to get a buzz on during Thanksgiving break...people were laying on the platforms, passed out everywhere, at 2 AM...

See, it was entirely worth reading every word of ekul's dream (which I absolutely did!) just for that one line about the Chinese dude really being Chris Rock. Cracked me up, it did. Man, what would Freud say about that dream?!? Can't even begin to imagine....
And yeah, ekul, I'll definitely go back and read your spoilers post once I've watched the episode, but shit, what a bummer that you thought it was so boring. Cause they really need to start bursting all this tension that they've built up and having some real shit go down. There's only two more fuckin episodes this season!!
Ya know, without CWA and lumencandle (who i did try to email, but it was a really old email i replied to, so i've no idea if it's the right one anymore) around, we're like the only crazy sopranos addicts around here now?? Bit depressing.
Cheers,
M

Aw crap. My email to tunes also bounced back  ...re: crazy people on buses and trains, shit, I have endless stories. Worst bus ride ever, I'm sitting there on a Sunday night at like midnight, on the way back from pub quiz. It's just me and two of my friends on the bus and no one else. Then this crazy ranting drunk homeless dude gets on and sits directly across from us and starts ranting incoherently at us. Shoulda just gotten up and moved but I figured we were close enough to home..... then the guy promptly vomits all over himself. Fucking disgusting. I was also on a bus in SF once when some insane guy starting beating the shit out of someone else on the bus. And more recently there was this dude in wheelchair who was like really surly and rude to people - the bus was really crowded so it was taking a while for people to rearrange themselves to make room for the guy in the wheelchair, and the whole time he was cursing at people, and when there was finally enough space, he rolled his wheelchair back as hard as he could (and he had an electric one so it went FAST) and totally fucking slammed into this guy who was standing in a corner, ran over his foot and apparently jammed the poor guy's nuts as well. So that guy started screaming and doubled over in pain and the crazy guy in the wheelchair started telling him to fuck off and then teh bus driver finally intervened and told the guy in the wheelchair to get off the bus, which sparked another round of screaming,a nd all these random passengers started screaming 'get off the fucking bus you asshole!' and at this point i gave up and got off the bus myself and went to a different stop to wait for another one so I have no idea whatever happened.... Gotta love public transportation. Cheers, M |

That's odd, Mary. I don't have any funny or weird transportation stories. Maybe because I generally drive everywhere (it's very hard to live in NJ without a car).

trains are great...you can have a lot of fun on the underground. a good trick is to pretend you're nuts to scare people. playing something like white light/white heat is great, because from outside you all people can hear is this chainsaw noise, then you can bang on your leg or the chair next to you with either wild or dead eyes. great fun, people ALWAYS move away. the real crazies are fun too - one time i was all alone in a car at night when this dude with one leg and a fake parrot attached to his shoulder came on with a drum and started playing it and yelling.
worst train ride was a few weeks ago, my latest commute from scotland to london. terrible, acidic hangover, sat in that hallucinagenic stage until edinburgh, then threw up from there to newcastle, a good few hours. unpleasant.
