What did you see on your way to work today?

[MC Moot]

In order:

A bird’s wing
Streets of leaves
A rabbit
3 cats
Junkies summoning their god from a bank of pay phones
Vomit
Blood
A lot of litter (you lazy bastards)
Many nice bums (you been working out?)
Bike Cops in the diner (one day I’m stealing your unlocked bike, just to see the look on your face)
Woman in office attire on a low rider bicycle
Many construction cranes and builder’s hacking butts and choking back coffee
Ahhhhh Tuesday’s…..

[jabumbo]

a few half way good looking nurses straggling into work (i just miss the rush of all the good ones)

a bus full of disgruntled high schoolers



my walk home is a little better since people will be awake on campus so there are actually people to watch

Ich bin ein hund Berliner....people don't pick up after their dogs....that's enough to make me wanna put up a wall.....or invade Poland.....:mad:

I see those same kidz waiting on that bus on my home every afternoon.....

[Funky Pepp]

The newest trend is to wrap the dogshit in tiny little blue plastic bags and leave them on the ground. That looks very nice. The police could earn millions of euro by collecting the penalty for that. Berlin would be the richest city of the world... ;)

how considerate!....the other day,in my neighborhood, someone had put a sign up on their fence reading "My front lawn is not your dog's toilet. Be responsible for your animal!"....I sympathize,I don't wanna kick the dog but I'd love to smack the owner.....

[Funky Pepp]

I sympathize,I don't wanna kick the dog but I'd love to smack the owner.....
Yeah. How's a dog supposed to carry his own little plastic bag and stuff it into the next wastebin?

[Funky Pepp]

Yeah or to make a pinata from it ;)

Now, perhaps it's because us Germans (or at least the citizens of Berlin) are a little more stupid that everyone else in the world. Wait, who are you and where am I, shit, I forgot what I was supposed to say... :confused:

[MC Moot]

Yeah. How's a dog supposed to carry his own little plastic bag and stuff it into the next wastebin?....

I don't know....but if a dog could....well.....if it's possible that dog should be in the movies.....or driving Cmute to work....one or the other......:D

[Dorothy Wood]

I was really tired this morning and walking around like a zombie, I can't even recall my bus ride.

I went to starbucks for a breakfast sandwich and an iced tea, but they didn't have breakfast sandwiches and my iced tea was more ice than tea. so I went to dunkin donuts.

I saw a goth guy in athletic gear, black bandanna holding back his long black hair, white tank top, one arm completely tattooed, black basketball shorts, and black and gray running shoes. he was extremely pale and clean-looking.

I saw some shitty architecture down the street where they're rehabbing an old church and turning it into a new fitness center. they're juxtaposing the old with the new and doing a crap job of it.

I saw a yellow table in the alley that I almost snagged, but took a closer look and realized that the top wasn't solid wood, it was particle board. not worth it.


meh, I saw all kinds of things actually, too many to write. I work in a really busy part of the city.

[Jitters]

I always see this guy sitting on the inside of his car on this long abandoned road when I go to school. There's nothing out there, no explainable reason for him to be there every day and one day I saw him out of the car kicking around a piece of paper.

Weird.

[vickista]

i saw a pool of blood, and a blood footprint and blood spatters, on my way to the station. and it was really red, like still fresh.

and a shoe.

[Loppfessor]

sand.....sand....rocks.....sand....rocks.....sand. ....pebbles.......sand.....sand......sand........s and....rocks.....work

[MC Moot]

sand.....sand....rocks.....sand....rocks.....sand. ....pebbles.......sand.....sand......sand........s and....rocks.....work

What about the Pacific....is it gone?....say it ain't so.....

Edit: ahhh state not city,claro

Whenever I see a shoe in the road I tend to think about someone being knocked out of them by a car......this morning I counted 5 pairs of shoes strung over telephone/utility wires around this one block.....nothing else caught my eye.......

[abcdefz]

When I got off the bus, I saw that the girl who'd been applying makeup during the ride had left her makeup-stained cotton balls on the seat. Class. (y)

[Loppfessor]

you should tell her to move to Berlin....her and her little dog.....

[MC Moot]

First frost...car windows,roof tops,shrubbery.......brrrrrrr.........

[AceFace]

the last few days i've been seeing this groundhog on my morning commute. he stands on this little hill eating. i beep my horn at him every day to say hello. the bastard ignores me.

[MC Moot]

well,really it's you that's disturbing his breakfast....but i think it's nice you try and say "hey,good morning you!"....like when I walk by squirrel's,in my head or out loud,I say "hey black squirrel" or "hey grey squirrel" or "hey inner city crack squirrel who appears to have the mange".....I think they appreciate it....but then they also try to commit suicide by throwing themselves in front of my car on occasion.....

[MC Moot]

Hahahahahaha...it'll be in low 90's here today.

yeah,sure,but your still an American living in Texas so the jokes on you....;)

[jabumbo]

with a starbucks and a dunkin donuts, it must be busy :rolleyes:

[MC Moot]

Yeah, I thought after I typed that how I wish it was cold here..

I knew you’d think it through, besides, I have a wee hangover and the brisk walk was like medicinal recovery magic…..(y)

[abcdefz]

Today I decided to get coffee before I hopped on the bus, which meant catching the first light rail downtown. This meant seeing a woman
I used to talk to every day when I used to get coffee every morning. We greeted each other with much enthusiasm and she asked why
she never saw me any more. We talked about how the rainy season was coming but this winter isn't supposed to be too wet, and that
pretty much dried up our fount of conversation. (She doesn't speak too much English and I know precious little Spanish.) The train
came, we promised each other not to work too hard and said goodbye.

[Yeti]

I hope you have been keeping up your end of the bargain with constant trips to the coffee maker and naps at your desk.

I sense a love connection,here......I can help with translation.....work it brother......

Today I got to see my daughter try to pick up a dog turd on the way to nursery.

I managed to grab her just in time...

no wonder his back was turned to me this morning!

i work on a college campus, VERY nice place. and the squirrels are everywhere and i talk to them all the time. they're actually friendly. i can get pretty close to them. if i have food they'll gently take it out of my hand. i love it! i've always had a fascination with squirrels.

Yeah, she does light up when she sees me.

This is at 4:45, 4:50 a.m. If I'm not taking the light rail, I wait for the bus across the street. When I stopped going for coffee, she
pretty much stopped showing up at that hour. I think I make her feel safe or something.

What's really funny is that she sits with me on the bench, then when I get up to go, she scoots over and sits where I was, like I
warmed the seat for her or something. :)

I'm wanting to puke even as I type that.

That is equally as weird as it is cute....just like Peachy's daughter investigating dog crap.....:D

[abcdefz]

Yeah; I really don't know what that's about.

She's probably.... mid-fifties? Usually bundled up and cold.

[abcdefz]

I searched YouTube, hoping that the Wonder Boys "butt print on your car!" clip was on there and all you got was this crappy T-shirt.

[ericlee]

I saw a guy on the train that smelled like a pile of dog turds sittin across from me having a nice little conversation with himself. I've really never got any interesting on the way to work stories to tell cause of the subway.

[abcdefz]

Man. I got to Starbucks for my coffee and this homeless dude just started regaling me with stories about his meds and wife and kids he's supposed to support.... the guy was more annoying than sad, though.

It's 4:00 a.m. I've got the Dr. Hfuhruhurr Ale
I've got nothing to lose so I'm pissin' on the third rail
Groggy eyed and fried I'm headed for the station
D-Train ride Coney Island (this one is..) vacation
Dedicated to the boofers in the back of the 1 train
They'll be kickin' out windows high on cocaine
And then I jump the turnstyle I lost my last token
Riding between the cars pissin' smokin'
Head for the last car fluorescent light blackout
Policeman told my homeboy yo put that crack out
You know you light up when the lights go down
And then you read the New York Post Fulton St. downtown
Same faces every day but you don't know their names
Party people going placed on the D-Train

"Stop that train I wanna' get off"

Check it..
Trench coat wing tip going to work
And you be pulling a train like Captain Kirk
Pick pocket gangsters paying their debts
I caught a bullet in the lung from Bernie Goetz
Overworked and underpaid staring at the floor
Prostitutes spandex caught in the slide doors
Now you're stuck between the stations and it seems like an eternity
Sweating like sardines in a flophouse fraternity
A $50.00 fine for disturbing the peace
The neck tortoise the Lees I creased
Hot cup of coffee and the donuts are Dunkin'
Friday night and Jamaica Queens funkin'
Elevated platform I'm never gonna' conform
Riding over the diner where I always get my toast warm
Bust into the conductor's booth and busted out rhymes
Over the loud speaker about the hard times
Sat across from a man readin' El Diario
Riding the train down from the El Barrio
Went from the station to Orange Julius
I Bought a hot dog from who George Drakoulias

[Yeti]

Man. I got to Starbucks for my coffee and this homeless dude just started regaling me with stories about his meds and wife and kids he's supposed to support.... the guy was more annoying than sad, though.

5 bucks for a coffee---no wonder the poor bastard was homeless. At least he is pumped up on caffeine.

[abcdefz]

Actually, he took his gear in and ordered an ice water. I guess they know him.

[Lyman Zerga]

i got a nice ego boost today, i walked by at a guy and at the same time he started puking his guts out

[Dorothy Wood]

with a starbucks and a dunkin donuts, it must be busy :rolleyes:

dunno why that gets a rolleyes. there's a caribou coffee and an einstein brothers, and actually multiple independent coffee shops and multiple starbucks, and multiple dunkin donuts, mcdonalds, panera bread, argo tea, intellegensia coffee. also a borders that has a cafe.

I don't drink coffee though, I just like brefass sammiches.

they's two chipotles, 3 pizza places, some taquerias, a couple of porn stores, some mediterranean food, a few subways, some grocery stores and a bunch of other crap if you're not into breakfast.

[AceFace]

YAY! today is gonna be a great day b/c i saw Mr. Groundhog on the way to work and he was like, having a delicious meal! i think he's gonna be my "good day" good luck charm. :)

herbivore or omnivore?....hmmmm......

[MC Moot]

I saw a murder of crows at least 1000 strong,passing me overhead,going south,lasted for about 3 blocks....hitchcockian.....:eek:....and then for contrast I saw a guy on a unicycle in a fluorescent construction vest wearing a bolo......(y)

[abcdefz]

I saw at the BART station what looked very much like a human decided to take a dump at the bus stop. Guess it was too much trouble to use
the restroom inside.

[MC Moot]

Well...one never knows when and where a U.S senator or a member of Wham may be lurking,looking for sex......especially in SoCal......:D

[abcdefz]

At a bus shelter... yuck.

It was just gross. And I have no idea how you'd get away with it, since there's zero privacy. It's just bus benches and parking, all out in the open (http://www.the-bus-stops-here.org/fremont_bart_2-s.jpg).


Fremont, by the way. Just north of San José -- not southern California. For what it's worth.

Yeah, I guess. I don't know if there are hours when the trains aren't running; maybe it was 3 a.m. or something.

[MC Moot]

I saw 2 magpies and crow eating a squirrel....the authority's hadn't even gotten a chalk outline down and they were on him.....at least they were sharing....sorry aceface.......circle of life.....

[abcdefz]

Today, I saw that the woman who sits with me at the light rail in the morning has the exact same make and model of raingear as I do. That was
a little creepy, even though she told me she's had it for three years.

I got up to catch the train, she slid over to sit where I'd been sitting.

Weird.

For one thing, she's probably ten to twenty years older than me, and not in some attractive way.

For the other, I can understand about every fifteenth word that she says.

I like scenarios and this one strikes me as quite funny,especially the language bit.....except I picure her ala Sophia Lauren or perhaps Raquel Welch....and you must wrestle your conscience and society's expectations of what constitutes an acceptable coupling...(y)

[abcdefz]

Loren or Welch and I'd probably be on it.

This woman looks not a lot like that. :(

[Kid Presentable]

I'm picturing Grover.

[abcdefz]

Much closer to Grover than Sophia Loren, yeah.

[abcdefz]

This morning I saw this girl on the bus who, last time I saw her (a few days back), took the opportunity to apply waaaaaayyy too much
makeup pretty badly on her trip to the BART station. She had the sort of look I think is pretty trashy: overweight but low jeans so her
back flab and stomach are spilling out, lots of glittery embroidery on her jeans and belt, way tight, too-revealing, weather-inappropriate
top that her breasts are pretty much spilling out of, and makeup plastered on so she looked like a stereotypical prostitute.

Well, this morning she gets on the bus with her bag, takes her seat, pulls off her coat. Takes off her blouse, so now she's sitting there in
white jeans and a bra -- rummages in her bag and starts dressing herself up in the prostitute ensemble again. Everything's in her bag --
her belt, heels, the too-small halter, the makeup, etc. First I'm thinking maybe she's a high school girl who gets out of the house, then
dresses in clothes her parents have forbidden. Then I realize, why would she go from San José to the BART station for school? Then I
wonder if maybe she actually is a prostitute in San Francisco or something. It's just such a weird routine to have, and to be so indifferent
that you're undressing in front of strangers on a bus.

[MC Moot]

Did she leave the cotton balls on the seat again?....I remember watching a guy make peanut butter and jam sandwhich on the bus once,knife,jars and 1/2 loaf of bread produced from his briefcase.....:D

[MC Moot]

Much closer to Grover than Sophia Loren, yeah.

You know, I really wanted to check, but when the bus pulled in and everyone was getting out, she was still sort of fucking around with
her bag in the aisle. One of those moments where I could've waited another beat, been a gentleman, and let her off ahead of me (it would've
been a "ladies first" sort of thing), but her holding us up just seemed like another trashy thing, so I sort of cut around her and got out first.
So I wasn't and gentleman and I didn't see if she left debris again.

[abcdefz]

that's my grandma you son of a bitch....:mad:


No it's not.

[MC Moot]

I saw a dog trotting along carrying his own leash in his mouth, he came to a intersection looked both ways,slowed,and I said “hey you better go home!” and he went on through, I smiled for the next 3 blocks……(y)

[MC Moot]

This morning I saw a lady with hair so long it was all the way down to the bottom of her bum...it was equally as beautiful as bizarre....I wonder how emotionally invested she is with it...must of taken years and years and years....I hope she stay's away from machinery with moving parts......

[abcdefz]

This morning, instead of the trashy lady, the woman who sat opposite me was a pretty darned beautiful black girl. Dressed very nicely, too.
That was much better. (y)

[AceFace]

no lucky groundhog. :(

[MC Moot]

no lucky groundhog. :(

ahhh,glad you're here....I was wondering about the squirells again.....often when i see them and they actually have a peanut.....I mean sure that's the stereotype portrayed in cartoons....but where do they get them from??...is there some kind of underground black market trade in peanuts......is Jimmy Carter involved?....

[AceFace]

i fucking squirrel hit me in the head with an acorn yesterday. jerk.

We've actually had some squirrel attacks in this area. In one, a squirrel got into a classroom, bit one kid and then ran up the teacher's pants leg.

(I think that's how the story went.)

Basically, the thought is that squirrels have gotten so used to people feeding them that they're like, people=food GIVEITTOME.

[trailerprincess]

I was stuck on the M25 today. A guy pulled up along side me on the hard shoulder, and then got out of the car next to an emergency phone so I was wondering if he had a problem with his car.

And then he pulled out his willy and peed on the side of the road.

I also thought I saw a horse the other day out of the corner of my eye. But it was a park bench. I really should get some more sleep. Or coffee.

[Bob]

one day, on my way to work, i saw a dog chasing a squirrel...the interesting part though, is that the dog actually CAUGHT THE SQUIRREL. it just grabbed it in its mouth and started shaking it around. i dunno if it ate it or what, but it was a rare sight

[abcdefz]

Yesterday, the woman who undresses and dresses on the bus was at it again. Fortunately, the bus model was different than our usual one,
and the way the back area raises to a second level allowed her to do her thing a bit more discreetly. (y)

Today, I saw a guy get kicked off the light rail. Dude had just gotten out of jail this morning (I don't know why these folks often volunteer
that information), and the light rail station I go to is just a few blocks from there. So he's smoking a cigarette on the platform (there are
signs indicating that this is prohibited), then, when the train rolled up, he was fucking around getting on and off, and obstructed the doors.
So the guy who operates the train came back and asked for his ticket. Of course, he didn't have one. So the conductor said, "You smoke
your cigarette, you obstruct my doors, you don't have a ticket -- you get off my train and off the platform or I'll call the sheriff and give him
your description." The guy actually didn't argue, but it delayed the train while the conductor made sure the guy walked away from the station.

I'm sure that, once we were out of sight, he went straight back, but still. You gotta think: why would someone who just got out of jail
try to immediately cause trouble?

Dumbass.

[MC Moot]

Because I'm out on bail the check is in the mail
They can sentence me to life but I won't go to jail...

Rush of freedom to the brain may inhibit your capacity to act logically....

[avignon]

Today on my way to work I saw something that did not make me angry or frustrated or annoyed in any way. It didn't make me satiric or cynical or condesending to anyone. I didn't feel superior to or segregated from anyone. It didn't make me sigh or roll my eyes. In fact, it made me smile a little to myself and I spent the rest of the day thinking about how much fun I've had in my life so far.
Oh, and I'm not telling any of you what it was.

[MC Moot]

I'll bet it was a funeral procession....

[avignon]

I'll bet it was a funeral procession....

Don't ever laugh when a hearse goes by
cause you might be the next to die
they tie you up in a big white sheet
and throw you down about 6 feet deep
The worms crawl in
the worms crawl out
the ants play pinuckle on your snout

[MC Moot]

I concur...also....hold your breath when you drive through a tunnel,lift your feet when you drive over railway tracks and NEVER stir with a knife......

[avignon]

Don't sweep over your feet with a broom.

[MC Moot]

This morning I had somehow managed to forget it was Halloween time and I saw a lady walking in a “naughty nurse” get uo,white stocking and garter belts,little hat….awesome….for a second I thought she was a prostitute and then I put it all together and realized she was just wicked fine….(y)

[milleson]

I spent an hour in traffic behind an SUV with a "NWA Kickball All Star" sticker on it. You know those stupid "look at me my kid does shit" kind of stickers. I was rather amused by it.

[Bob]

on my way in, i saw red sox fans throwing toilet paper at (moving) cars and spraying the windows with silly string. thank god there's like 3 CVS's nearby, otherwise they might run out

on my way to lunch i saw even more insane red sox fans

god knows what i'll see on my way out

[DandyFop]

not a god damn thing because i dont have a job apparently

[TurdBerglar]

on my walk to school i showed my teeth to the pitbull that guards the body shop. the fense is right up to teh sidewalk. it snarled at me and went balistic. then i yelled at it and it put its head down and walked away. it was pretty funny. dogs are so easy to punk down.

[abcdefz]

...what didn't see me on the way to work today was whoever nearly hit me in their white van. (n)

[Lindsey_1535]

Today on the way to school I just relalized that day light savings should have been last week but it didn't happen. Apparently we pushed it back a week cause were silly and want to be america.
I saw the lights flashing yellow this morning at 7, which tipped me off. The lights thought day light savings happened too. I'm outta the loop. RANT:(

[TurdBerglar]

day light savings should be eliminated alltogether. fuck getting dark at 4:30! that's outrageous! i don't know how people like tal can not kill themselves.

[HEIRESS]

I read alotta books in the winter.

[beastiegirrl101]

I saw a hot guy walking his dog that I thought I knew...then I realzied that I recognized him from a myspace profile and then slappled myself for being so lame.

Stuff I saw:

Free coffee for us at Starbucks this morning. Someone didn't show up, so we had to wait three extra minutes while the coffee finished brewing,
so they gave it to us for free.


Stuff I didn't see:

Lots of folks who are regulars on the bus were AWOL this morning.

Me?...I saw the same guy who tried to run over A-Z yesterday morning except this time he was in a red lexus and he seemed to want to pin me between himself and another car....it's dark now and I wear too much fuck'n black.....(n)....still this city is notorious for it's lack of due consdideration towards pedestrians and cyclists...."I'M WALKIN HERE!"....at the pay phones at 5th St and 11th ave our local romantic junkie couple were rising and shining,she' in a shopping cart and he was covering her with blankets.....rumour from our outreach team has it that she's pregnant.....:(




What city do you live in?

[abcdefz]

The rapture? Nah. Not yet.

DST was changed, but it's always on Sunday. This would be a weird mid-week mass screwup, if that were the case.

Supposedly there wasn't much damage from the quake, but one guy at the coffee shop did say he was taking the day off work to
deal with his place, so maybe everybody's doing that.

I dunno. None of my pictures even fell off the walls.

[AceFace]

on my way out to my car this morning i saw something CRAZY! today was just the second day it's frosted here so everything is still alive and happy... except this poor bumble bee.

i looked over at the butterfly bush and there was this bee frozen to a flower. dead as a stump. frozen in time. it was weird. i wonder if he was frozen at the right time where he'll wake up alive later?

[b i o n i c]

i was in times square at 3:30pm last thu and i had to get these russians to jfk by 4:30. bumper to bumper everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

i took the shoulders almost the whole way, cut everyone off to a positive car position advantage and got a round of applause when we made it to the terminal at 4:29.

i saw lots of angry people mouthing all sorts of curse words at me and a few middle fingers waving at me in the rear view mirror. i won.

[AceFace]

CRAZY WEIRDNESS! the bumble beez are flying everywhere now! he didn't die at all! just took a frozen nap!

[MC Moot]

CRAZY WEIRDNESS! the bumble beez are flying everywhere now! he didn't die at all! just took a frozen nap!

Nature is awesome...wasps asound here are all slow and drunk,just about to kick.....we have a lady bug box we just buried in the garden and they have a winter siesta till may.....the kids are blown away when we dig it up and they're alive....(y)

[MC Moot]

This morning I saw a car crash...then 2 blocks later while passing the paper boxes I saw the emboldened headline on the local tabloid daily beholding "BEER PRICES SET TO JUMP!"....one of these events is significantly more dramatic than the other.....:mad:

[ericlee]

I get on the train to go to work today. I'm sitting next to the last seat and there's an empty bench to the right of me. Some big ass bimbo and her boyfriend decide to sit right next to me. Instead of making sure that she's clear to plop her ass down, she basically sat on my lap, forcing me to move over so that my ass is right on the seat divider.

Then a lady comes and sits to the left of me and I'm squished. I looked up and over to the whole row of empty seats to my right and I looked at the lady to the right of me and asked her to please move over instead of sitting on me. For real, why sit right next to someone and cramping them all up instead of looking for a nice, free to move space when you get on the train.

I'm pretty sure A-Z has the answer to the nature of proximity and public transit....:D

And this movie explains everything about NYC subway's,even more so than "The Warriors"...

[ericlee]

I look at it like this, if you're already there, then you shouldn't have to move from your seat to make others comfortable. Especially when there's a whole open space of like ten empty seats.

One time after work, I sat in the two seat bench at the end of the train as I always do. There's three empty seats right across the aisle. Some lady and her kid come and sit right next to me. Her kid ends up standing. I'm just listening to my headphones and playing a cellphone game. The lady and kid kept on looking at me and then the kid sat in her lap and they were both looking at me. Call me a dick but it didn't even faze me. The bench across from me filled up and there was only standing room. I sat in that spot all the way to my stop.

Well you may very well be a dick then or a New Yorker, so often one and the same....:D.....The elderly,pregnant,physically handicapped and kids under 5 should all get priority seating…and I feel good when I give it up for them…it’s just proper,man….(y)

[ericlee]

haha. The kid was either thirteen to fifteen. The lady wasn't handicapped. It was basically them trying to force me from my seat instead of using the available seats across from me. I've given my seat up many times to ladies or elder. Even if my wife is sitting next to me, I'll get up.

I don't care, be it a man or lady, its not proper to try to force someone from their seat. I finish working eight hours on my feet in a pair of heavy boots. That train ride home is so comfortable and I always sit in the two seated cause usually no one bothers me.

[MC Moot]

haha. The kid was either thirteen to fifteen...

SEE,now that's the demographic of seat hogs that get me choked,lazy degenerate generation....(n)

I don't care, be it a man or lady.

I'll alway's give it up for the lady's....;)

[AceFace]

ok ok. lemme think. and you give me 7 numbers and i'll play for us too. double our chances.

i can hear it now,
"and you guys had only met online. this is your FIRST official meeting?"

"that's right Meredith, and i'd like to present Moot with this check for 1 million dollars. all praise the magic lucky groundhog."

28, 16, 5, 11, 44, 22, 37

[MC Moot]

This is gonna be awesome!....I think it's only right that we also start some sort of not for profit ground hog foundation with the winnings....you know we could call it paws across the border and it would benefit a legacy of woodchuck's across the continent.....

[AceFace]

last night i had a dream... we had won... and we were on the today show when matt lauer says "so you guys met on the BBMB and are long time fans?" "yes" we both answer and then out of the blue here come the boys from behind a curtain and they start playing for us right there while we're all on TV. then the whole cast and crew are getting down and the today show is canceled for the day b/c we brought the party and the party couldn't stop.

that was a ruling dream.

[AceFace]

well if it helps any, i was just as star struck in my dream as i would be in real life. you'd think i'd at least play it cool in my dreams.

[MC Moot]

AceFace….I had a dream that I was standing around with Chevy Chase, Steve Martin and Bill Murray….I do not recall EVER having a celebrity dream before, honestly….Chase and Martin were in front of me and Bill was beside me, he did not speak and we all had our arms folded in a semi-defensive posture….but it was clear Bill was on my side…..if we make the Today show and that Lauer punk casts me stactic I’m gonna go all Tom Cruise on him…”You don’t the Beastie Boys do you Matt?...Matt,I’ve studied the issues and the Beastie Boy’s…..you’re ignorant of the matter at hand and your hairs all gone Matt and we’re rich bitch!”……(lb)

[AceFace]

i told my husband about this yesterday and he said "so we'll have to share the money with some kanuk?" and i said "hey! that kanuk is gonna share with us too!"

This'll sound odd if I don't say it right, but:

The thing I saw this morning on my way to work is the quality of light. We just had Daylight Saving Time change, setting back the clock one
hour, and it makes a difference. Before, it would still be dark when I got to work. But even now as I wait at the bus stop, it's twilight. Just
seems so weird to be going to work at the "same time" and yet the quality of light is suddenly very different. Usually, you go through the year
and the change is very gradual. You might still notice it ("Hey -- it's starting to get dark earlier -- winter must be coming!"), but it's spread
out over a period of weeks. This was like, one day.

It's still new enough that I'm not used to it.

About a block away from my apartment, a woman and her six year-old were struck and killed by a car this past weekend.

Please use the crosswalk. (http://www.mercurynews.com/search/ci_7382859?IADID=Search-www.mercurynews.com-www.mercurynews.com)

that is so sad. :/

today on my way to work i didn't see one damn parking spot (even though ours are designated and people ignore it). i had to walk an eternity to get to my office.

[abcdefz]

...but think of all the calories you burned!

[AceFace]

sigh. we didn't win a thing on this end.

Unbelivable!...my ticket also failed to match the "winning" numbers....I don't get it...I mean what are the odds of neither of us winning?...It's enough to make me lose faith in the lottery....;)

Yeah, so anyway this morning I saw abandoned rememberance day poppy's littered in the street's I counted 11....I'm pretty good at counting....why wear one if your gonna disrespect it?.....(n)

This morning at the light rail I saw a guy who lives in my apartment complex. The guy has never seemed too bright, he's very shy, and still
lives with a guy I presume is his father (he looks like he's mid-20's.) He seems to bounce from job to job, scraping up work where he can.

Well, it was about 4:45 a.m. and he was on his way to work at a mall probably about 40 minutes away by public transportation. It's his first
day. Orientation is at 5:00 a.m. Oops. He said he figures "it's just orientation" and it won't be a big deal if he shows up late. I asked his
why he didn't just tell them he wouldn't be able to make a 5:00 a.m. orientation and he looked at me like I was crazy.

Kids these days.

This morning I saw the first Christmas tree on my route in someone’s window,easy now folks..…I hope that sucker’s fake….and then when I walked past the lingerie boutique on my route and they now have their x-mas display up and it was lovely….there’s this black and red teddy just for her, that I‘ll have to get…the gift that gives….you know….(y)

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Moot! Ditto!

On my way home from work today a house I spotted a house just around the corner from me that was decked out in all it's christmas lights. I say spotted, you couldn't really miss it. Just about every brick and rool tile is covered.
Tad early in my book but it got me a bit giddy.

(!) Not long now boys and girls...i hope you've all been good.

[abcdefz]

Waiting for Starbucks to open at 5:00 a.m., I saw this guy sitting on their wheelchair access ramp. Kind of homeless-looking, Irish guy
maybe with red curly hair and full beard, maybe in his fifties.

Cradling a portable cassette player that was playing Pet Shop Boys or some such thing. Mumbling/singing along with it, his voice getting
louder when he was hitting lyrics he was more confident about, I guess. "Celebrate... celebrate..." Something like that.

5:00 o'clock came, the employee unlocked the door, and he muttered, "About fucking time!"

I got inside before he did, and that employee was telling another woman, "I open the door and he goes, 'About fucking time!' ...Asshole..."

The end.

Oh -- and this guy who usually rides the bus who had sort of disappeared for a couple of weeks? He's back. He got married, went on a
cruise to Mexico. (y)

Today, our bus had to pull over on the highway because we had hit a big bump which, in turn, jarred my bike loose from the rack on the front.
Fortunately only the back tire came off and not my whole bike.

Yeah -- the transit company has no obligation if the bike were to fall off. If they rear-ended another car and the bike got damaged,
yes, otherwise, you're screwed.

[ericlee]

My wife and I were running across the platform to catch a train. This one teenage girl was sending a text with her mobile, all attention to her mobile and not her surroundings and she walked right in front of me and I didn't have time to stop and I plowed right into her and she almost fell. Instead she stumbled a few feet.

I just said sorry and got into the train. Yeah, no running on the platform but if I missed that train, I would have had to wait another 10-15mins.

i was waiting for the splat! or goooooze! in that story. ended well enough = 100000pts

...today was the first day where I saw our local buses signs say "Happy Holidays."

Odd that this started after Thanksgiving, but what can you do.

Three -- count 'em -- three guys at the light rail station this morning who had been sprung from jail this morning. At 2:30 a.m., one of
them said. None had jackets, one was in a T shirt, and it was pretty fucking cold.

And, of course, they were bragging about how they weren't going to pay the fare. One was imagining the "fuck you I just got out of jail"
argument he'd use if the fare inspector came along. Yeah, buddy, real fucking smart. Get the sheriff called on your ass and about
a $300 fine so you can avoid paying $1.75. :rolleyes:

[AceFace]

awe! a FROZEN squirrel!? poor thing! ours hardly even hibernate down here.

we have a little squirrel feeder that's like a box with a cover on it and they lift up the cover and eat... this morning i saw a squirrel popping it's head out of the box. i chose to think he slept there last night amongst the food.

[MC Moot]

I think he got hit by a car, and valiantly made across the sidewalk to the shrubbery before succumbing to mortal injury’s….but he’s been looking really serene in death…like the mortician/taxidermist did a A#1 job on him….I’m glad he’s under a blanket so now I won’t have to watch the magpies eat his eyes out…I actually crossed the street yesterday to avoid him and about a block up from him was another fallen friend …I think is was his mate… ill omen,me thinks…..Romeo and Juliet stylings a regular tragedy Ace....

This morning was suddenly cold and really really windy. A huge palm frond had blown down, for instance.

Anyway -- got downtown to Starbucks and -- one worker was locked outside. Whoever was supposed to come and open up and prep the
store still hadn't shown up. Poor guy wasn't really dressed for the weather and looked pretty cold.

Anyway.

Then, at the BART station, one of the guys said that yesterday, a little way after my stop, traffic was delayed because of a car wreck.
One of the cars involved was upside down. I'm not quite sure how you do that on a city street if you're not filming a Jason Bourne movie.
Yikes. I asked him if people were okay, and he said "they were moving around inside." Hopefully (y)

I think those guys are some jealous douches with too much time on their hands.

One guy says that Neil Peart influences people to get all kinds of toms and cymbals and such. Yeah, it's pointless to have all that crap if ya don't use it but Neil pretty much uses all of it throughout an album or during a show.

Not saying he's god on the drums but, he's a very decent drummer and it's people like that, who take way too much time to pick out the little things that they don't like about musicians and blow them out of proportion that ruin music.

I'll tell you a band that I've really fallen out of touch with is Primus. Les Claypool is very overhyped and everyone thinks he's such a bass god. It's not too hard to figure his stuff out if you're a bassist and his vocals get annoying as well. I dunno, the older I became, the more distant I grew from them. Oh, guess who one of their main musical influences is?

[abcdefz]

Yeah, I never got into Primus. Kind of surprised that they're still at it.

[abcdefz]

I think those guys are some jealous douches with too much time on their hands.



That's as may be; I was just pointing out that I'm not alone.

One of my best friends growing up was a major, major, major Rush fan. I could get into some stuff -- 2112, especially -- but the
more I absorbed the more I came to hate them so much it tainted everything.

One of my most mature moments as a high school editor was allowing one of my magazine writers to write a glowing essay about them.
It made me sick to think that someone out there actually thought "The Trees" was profound poetry, but I printed it.

Hahah. It's also people that are major fans of bands that ruin music as well.

It's just cool to be in between. Over hating and over worshiping can be a bit obsessive on the creepy side.

Eh, you're not being a douche about the bashing like those guys are so, it's all good. I think if Rush had a better singer, it would be an almost perfect band.

[MC Moot]

The finest song ever about Rush...

Lots of rain today, but that's okay.

The limping, pot-smoking old dude was back again at the BART station. Apparently he's been driving for a while, but his car isn't working
this morning.

He had a bottle of beer he was swigging from -- didn't even bother with a paper bag.

He showed me that he's walking better now than before. Apparently, he wants to get another operation, get the leg healed up, then
beat up some co-worker. Get him in the trailer when they're unloading a truck.

Dang, dude.

He was really talkative. Wouldn't shut up, really.

I saw that one homeless guy on the E that walks from car to car with his mangy dog.

He's got a microphone and a little amp strapped to him and he sings like a lady opera. Talk about a dose of nightmare sauce.

[abcdefz]

Two -- count 'em, two -- guys at the light rail station asked me to buy a newspaper for them. That's kind of weird.

One guy looked like he was high out of his mind, red eyes all glassy, talking like his tongue was all swollen up in his mouth. He got pissed
at me because I asked him to repeat himself a couple of times. He said he'd just gotten out of jail. I still don't understand why people
advertise that.

Anyway, he didn't want to wait four minutes for the train, so he took off walking downtown. I caught the train, went and got coffee, rode back
to the bus stop and saw him walking. He asked me for change again, and I told him no again, and tried to soften that by saying, "You walked all
the way down here, huh?" and he asked how I knew him. I said we'd just spoken at the light rail station earlier. Then he recognized me and got
all excited and started in again on how he'd just gotten out of jail, how he was a Vietnam vet and they should've given him a bus pass, then said
they gave him a fare token and something about walking all the way to Capitola (which is quite a ways). I agreed that this was quite a distance
to walk, and he said, "Peace, out," and walked on.

Peace, out.

FIGHT!...Bike Courier vs Fat Audi man...here's my advice to drivers....don't fuck with cyclists,got it?...that guy rides his bike 6 hours a day in downtown traffic in January...he's hardened you idiot suit,stay in your car...bet you wish you had now,eh?...Bike couriers,taxi cab drivers and tow truck drivers...never screw with any of those professions...they're half mad from being on the road for a living to begin with...and they belong in a fellowship,they will DIE for their comrades...plus they're all connected by radio and have 10 -15 peeps within a few city blocks and you can't move faster than radio sucker......

[abcdefz]

Did the guy get doored or something?

[MC Moot]

He came up on the passenger side of the guy's car to jockey for pole position when the light changed and the guy blared his horn,advanced of the courier and actually bumped him!!!!...the courier was not even in the lane, he'd actually pulled so far ahead he was in the crosswalk lines...I must say the way the courier calmly walked his bike over to a utility pole and leaned it up before begining to boot/dent the offending cars 1/4 panel was a class frigin act....(y)

[abcdefz]

Car drivers sometimes just don't know how to handle themselves with a bike around. (n)

[ericlee]

this was on my way home from work last night, actually.

At the wtc path station some guy was smokin and there was some other guy screaming at the top of his lungs, "EXCUSE ME, IS THERE SECURITY AROUND HERE? THIS IDIOT IS SMOKING, HUGE IDIOT HERE!!", over and over.

The guy with the cigarette paid no mind to him and kept on smokin.

I'm not sure who the bigger idiot was but indeed it was funny.

[MC Moot]

I couldn't see bugger all this morning,being wrapped up like Nanook of the North only leaves a severley restricted optical perspective...through which my eyes were being blasted by granular ice snow....-32 C with the wind chill....oh yeah,good times...can't believe I went without the Stanfields..

[camo]

Not necessarily on the way to work but none the less...

I stood on my balcony this morning, strong cup of coffee in hand to wake myself up and noticed that the canal below had risen above it's banks due to the excessive rainfall we've been having recently.

At lunch today I heard that it had burst it's banks about 2 miles down.

I hope it doesn't flood my building - it's wooden framed (n)

[abcdefz]

I got to the BART station and realized that my second bus -- AC Transit -- was on the holiday schedule (Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday).
Meaning I'd have to wait 90 minutes until the first bus came. Ugh.

So I zipped up my rain slicker and rode carefully in the dark, avoiding cars that couldn't see me. Because I've been sick and also because
the rain jacket doesn't breathe at all, I arrived at work having sweated through my T-shirt, long-sleeved shirt, and sweater. Ugh.

Now I've got chills and am eating chicken soup. Nothing tastes good.

Huh. I've never seen that, I don't think.

The cold has just about run its course now. Just coughing, sore throat, a little chill.

I could probably go back to sleep, though. :D

Ive been using 3 doses of this (http://www.drugstore.com/qxp31289_333181_sespider/boiron/oscillococcinum_natural_flu_relief_single_dosage_t ubes.htm)at the first sign of flu/cold and I haven been sick all season.

this morning i saw a pick up truck full of bread in the back. like individual white bread bags. a mini mountain of them all just flappin' in the wind. it was just so odd.

[abcdefz]

This morning I found a set of keys at the light rail station. Gave 'em to the bus driver for Lost and Found.

I always feel bad for the owner because I can imagine some fairly keen anxiety going on until your keys were back in your hands.

[taquitos]

and I haven been sick all season.

Really? You sound a little stopped up.

this was a couple days ago but I was too lazy to find this thread. I took a cab home at about midnight and saw these two guys putting a tag up.

In the pouring rain. I didn't think that made much sense at all.

[MC Moot]

Overnight we had a hard frost/freeze last night so all the trees and shrubbery were illuminated in ½ inch or so of wicked white frost….beautiful….and then to top it off a plastic bag was blowing along in the air about 20 feet up ala “American Beauty”…(y)

That was the American Beauty bag's stunt double.

Er.... eats its young.

I should never type early in the morning.

Today I decided to celebrate no rain by not wearing my rain gear, and instead, just a jacket.

MISTAKE. Very, very cold.

What did I see on my way to work? Well, at the grocery store the lady in front of me with a shitload of groceries kindly invited me to go ahead of her.

Thank you, lady in front of me!

I had to get in and put up my co-worker's Happy Birthday streamers and stuff, since I'm the only one who usually gets here before he does.(y)

This morning I was walking behind this lady who was smoking, so I went to pass her and when I came right up on her I see she has a chiwawa sticking out of her backpack!...:)...he had a hat and everything and he was shivering and looked scared like they always do, you know…so when I came along beside her I whispered: “psssssst I don’t know if you know…but…there’s a dog in your bag"…she laughed and I laughed and it was nice…then when she caught up to me at the light she said “Hi again, would you like to get a coffee?”

*whoops*

I was blindfolded on the way to work today.

Naw -- all we did was wave at each other today. She was later than usual, just getting on the platform when my train arrived.

today I helped a blind man on to the escalator.

He was tapping around with his cane and was a about to try to go up on the down escalator so I grabbed his shoulder and directed him to the up one.

Nice work,I hope you asked before you grabbed...a few weeks back a saw a white cane man crossing the street and I neglected to offer him help...I felt like King prick for the rest of the day....my bad...(n)

I got scolded from a blind lady for grabbing, once.

I guess the drill is: you ask the person if they want help, and if they say yes, you invite them to take your arm.

a screw stuck in my nearside back wheel and a shitload of fog.

A fox, which had been hit by a car, placed neatly on the side of the road near where I park for work.
The trouble is that I am going to be walking past it almost everyday and I don't think I am going to be able to stomach decaying fox before 9am...:(

This morning I noticed that in the lingerie shop's second window they had a male mannequin in black boxers with a matadors cap and a silk cape...I laughed for a block...I mean seriously that's a get up only a flamingly gay man could appreciate...too funny...I'm cracking up just thinking about geting on with my girl in that outfit...too funny to fuck....:D

i meant to write about this yesterday...

so we had a HUGE wind storm sat and sunday. it was pretty scary.
winds up to 74mph. they said it was like a hurricane without the rain.

it damaged our little city pretty bad. on my way to work
i saw forest fires in the mountains. that was pretty disturbing.
i saw a church with the roof tore off the top.
i saw a billboard that had been pushed over onto a building.
almost every traffic light was out and people were driving like maniacs.

we don't get severe weather in our area very much
so it really bothered me on my drive to work yesterday.

this morning the forest fires seemed bigger.

[MC Moot]

I’m sorry to hear your hamlet got hurt…but…I must say I get an enormous kick out of windstorms and other weather related phenomena…we get some wicked ones up this way…I like to hide under the covers…:o...makes for good sleep, same with rain,thunder,lightening…very, very frightening…I especially like weathering out the storm in a proper tent removed from civilization.…(y)
