Congradulations, you've ground half a city to a halt with your stupidty. BRAVO.

[smileyeagle1021]

OMG, that is so effin' stupid. What, did he think the train would hit him and he would get insurance money? What drug was he taking to make him think that was a good idea?
.

oh, it actually made the papers (that's how big of a clusterfuck it turned into) and the guy told police he did it because he didn't want to block traffic... uhuh, that worked out well.

[SushiSteph]

THAT was pure genius! I am blown away by how witty you are! Thanks for the laughs and I am very sorry you ever had to endure any of that!

[Chromatix]

Oh lord. There's a *reason* why every emergency-stop and -door-release handle I've ever seen has a substantial "penalty for misuse" on the sign next to it. And why at least some railway systems have CCTV inside the carriages and/or on the platforms.

That said, many metro systems have pneumatic curtain doors that are almost ridiculously easy to force open if you really try - simply because the limited force is how they protect little old ladies from being crushed by them if the guard hits the close button at the wrong moment. I've seen plenty of idiots force the doors apart to get on if they were a few seconds too late, so it sounds like these geniuses were simply used to that concept, but hadn't had to deal with modern "pop" doors before.

Hey, listen! While you may find my chattering to be annoying, if you'd just press C up for a second you'd find I really do have rather pertinent nuggets of information that may of use to you in overcoming the problems of your immediate future.

...thanks for being up repressed memories, man! Now I'm gonna be up all night hearing "Hey, listen!" in my head... T_T

[Sonoma]

wow the stupid is strong in that one, sadly I might be able to tie it for unrelenting stupidity.

About a year ago I was riding trax out of downtown when the train comes to a stop at 200 south, in between stations... why you may ask... because some fuckwit had his car stall out next to the 300 south station... apparently there was parking to the right side of the road for him to move his car into and he decided that he needed to still let people get around him... so instead of just leaving his car in the traffic lane and waiving people to go around on the trax line (which would work fine, because the longest someone would have to wait to get around is the 3 minutes that a train is in the station), he decided to push his car onto the trax line

Reminds me of a story from earlier this year. Some drunk idiot decided to drive his car 1 mile up a light rail tunnel. Only stopping when he got jammed up on the tracks & signal devices. I take this tunnel every day. It is DARK. You would have to have your head up your rear to not realize that your car is someplace that your car should not be.

Gravekeeper, you bring laughter into my evening. I had to bite my thumb to keep from laughing out loud and wakeing the toddler.

[Lachrymose]

...thanks for being up repressed memories, man! Now I'm gonna be up all night hearing "Hey, listen!" in my head... T_T

[Fenrus]

You know, lach... that's exactly what I was thinking...

[Snowbird]

Wha?

SC: “Is this Travelocity?”
Me: “No, sorry.”
SC: “Well, fiddle dee dee!”

So... I can't believe that I'd be the only one to think Gravekeeper's reply should have been:

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

I'll go hide back under my rock now.

Cultural Divide

SC: “Ya’ll, ma husband’s jus bustin’ a gut ta order a roof before noon.”

….he’s….what? Doesn’t that mean he’s laughing? Or is there a some sort of vast cultural divide I’m missing here? Of course, please be aware I’m paying you and your kind an immense compliment by suggesting you have a culture. Also, why noon? What happens at noon? Does the Hairy Godmother’s magic wear off and he stops being a roofer and turns back into his normal, sweaty, half naked couch dwelling self that smells vaguely like a dumpster behind Taco Bell with a warrant for out for his arrest for domestic assault?

Don’t worry, if the arresting officer finds his glass hammer at the scene, he’ll turn back into a roofer and live happily ever after provided he doesn’t drop anything in the shower.

they shouldn't have let the motherfucker burn(it's a song, for those who don't know)

[Gravekeeper]

Now doesn't that sound awesome? (Or at least less insane that Colorblind Dude?)

Oddly, it doesn't even really sound out of place for Vancouver...

I think I'll adopt "fiddle dee dee" - its so much nicer than "what the fuck!?"

But it loses a lot of the impact. ;p

I have one word for you GK, 'Clippityclop'.

Not even Google could tell me what horrors that's suppose to unleash.

About a year ago I was riding trax out of downtown-

Gah. I think I would have just driven the train through his car. What possible excuse could he give the insurance company?

I'd listen to her a lot more. Or Tatl. Or gods forbid, Tingle. Depending on what game you play, after all.

Tingle is the single most frightening creature to ever appear on a Nintendo console. If I ever somehow reach that level, please put a bullet in my mouth. -.-

Fuck You, Navi - for reminding me that I could never get past the Water Palace.

Ugh, the Water Palace. That and in the "inside of a giant farkin' fish" dungeon. Hate. =p

That said, many metro systems have pneumatic curtain doors that are almost ridiculously easy to force open-

I've never seen anyone be able to force open a Skytrain door. Not on the older or newer cars. I've seen a lot of people try over the years, a couple even while the train was in motion, but I've never seen someone succeed. They easily give just a few inches, but that's as far as you can get them to open without pulling the emergency hatch release. I'm assuming they "ock into place when they close and just have a few inches give on them to avoid shoving people standing in the way when they close.

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

I'm not old enough to get away with using that reference. >.>

[Princess J]

I have one word for you GK, 'Clippityclop'

I would have thought the word would be "floppityflop".

[clod75]

hahahaha I love reading your Skytrain adventures

I rarely ride it anymore, and Thank God for that. I will live vicariously through you

Actually, the loincloth dude? He can meet up with Jesus lookalike dude who hangs out at Grandview Park, wears a leather DRESS and holds a staff

[Jay 2K Winger]

Once again I am in awe of the fact that Gravekeeper hasn't put a bullet in the brainstem.

Of whom, you ask? ANYONE.

[crazylegs]

I would have thought the word would be "floppityflop".

It's connected to the noise that is created with a rapid thrusting of the pelvis while naked.
