I want to ride a kayak down those stairs.

That actually looks rather refreshing. Like someone's personal waterfall. Unless of course you're running down the stairs trying to catch a train and slip and get impaled on one of those spokes. That might suck a little.

You'd get over it.

Ahhh... the issues of commuting. Some people leave their dinners at a bus stop, some people get impaled.

Whoa!!

Is that Levittown, SC?

It's the price one pays to live in the big city. A person could live in Baltimore and look for reasons to impale themselves.

Its the Great Neck train station, pb.

Beth - it depends what you're impaling yourself on.

Geoff's town is getting bombed now by heavy thunderstorms... I hope his vodka doesn't get watered down.

Oh wow!!

I know that station very well, it's not far from the Great Neck Peter Luger's, which is an infamita, for the record.

The steaks were set up on a high shelf!

Here's one from the town just east of mine:

I gather the Southern State Parkway is now a 2 lane waterway?

I'm probably just a bad person... Actually, no I am a bad person. But that picture is fucking hilarious.

You are just rotten.

To the fucking core.

Yup.

It's almost as funny as an episode of Man vs. Wild.

NAKED PUSH-UPS IN THE ARCTIC! ONE TWO THREE...

My friend who's doing his phD at Colorado State mentioned this morning about a student in one of his classes who was gunned down after he went to governor's building with a gun. Later he sent me this link: http://www.denverpost.com/ci_6399427
Reading it made me very sad, I don't know, it is just very tragic.

God, the internet is RETARDED. I fucking hate myspace, AOL instant messager, e-mail... All of which seem to be flooded with this ridiculously stupid chain letter, which is no more than a fucking piece of spam:

"EVERYBODY, STAY HOME FROM SCHOOL ON SEPTEMBER 11TH... NO MATTER WHAT SCHOOL YOU GO TO, WHAT STATE YOU LIVE IN. THINK ABOUT IT... TEACHERS SHOW UP AND NOBODY IS IN CLASS... THEN THEY'LL LEAVE... TELL A LOT OF PEOPLE AND LETS SEE IF WE CAN MAKE IT ON NEWS... WHY SEPTEMBER 11TH? CAUSE ITS A DAY WE SHOULD NOT BE IN SCHOOL BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED WE GET SCHOOL OFF FOR A BUNCH OF DEAD PRESIDENTS BUT WE DON'T GET SCHOOL OFF FOR A MASS MURDER OF PEOPLE WE PROBABLY KNEW? AND ALL THE AMAZING FIRE FIGHTERS THAT DIED FOR THIS COUNTRY!! ... JUST KEEP REPOSTING AND TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW...NO SCHOOL SEPT. 11TH"

What the fuck is that? Here's what I fucking have to say.

First of all, what the hell is with the caps-lock? Who typed this thing originally? Rainman? There is no fucking need to type in ALL CAPS.

Secondly, we don't get school off on Pearl Harbor, and I think Pearl Harbor is a more important historical event, on the basis that it didn't turn the better half of the American population into retards. Ok, maybe not just that, it lead to a lot of other historical events that changed the world forever, and actually made the world a worse place to live then it was previously. Atomic bomb, anyone? Atomic bomb leads to worldwide hysteria, leads to Red Scare, leads to U.S./Russian arms race, leads to America's alienation of alternative political and economic parties (this means the Communists), and that leads to an American state of self-implied superiority. This pisses off other nations and groups on the basis that they feel they must fear America. This leads to wars, this leads to violence, and it lead to the events building up to September 11th, which finally exploded into an attack on American soil. You want to show respect to the casualties? Then don't be a moron, and carry on with your life, and show some fucking strength. Don't succumb to a socially-docile state.

So take your fucking pinky off the shift key, and take the time to actually think about what's happened, instead of going off and just responding with standard procedure of an unsophisticated war (as are all wars) and an angry rant about how we should get out of school just because you're too dense and full of a false sense of teen angst to realize that without school, without education, you'd be the guy who stutters and scraps roadkill off of the side of the road with a spatula for a living.

TESTIFY!!!!!

DUN DUN-DUN, DUN-DUN-DUN, DUN-DUN DUN, DUN DUN!!!!

Well, that was my attempt to type the guitar part to Rage Against the Machine's "Testify".

LLC, that's not even the worst of them. Although, it is retardedly stupid.

Have you seen the one with the girl with no eyes who lives under your bed? IF YOU DUNT REPOST IN .4 SECONDS, SHE'LL STAB YOUR HEART OUT.

Did any of you see news coverage of the steampipe explosion in midtown Manhattan??

In case you didn't see it - a large steampipe (which run under most City streets) exploded on Lexington Avenue last night about 6:00 p.m. It happened a short distance away from Grand Central Station, and considering the time of day (when many offices are still emptying out) and the location its amazing that only one death occurred (a heart attack).

A geyser went up to the 30th floors of surrounding buildings and it looked like a bomb went off. City officials are monitoring the air in the area fearing that asbestos was released.

It looked like 9/11 all over again (but officials were quick to note that this was NOT a terrorist attack).

Scary shit!!!

I saw that on some newsclips this morning. I'm sure the first thing that ran through people's minds was terrosism. At least that's what I thought. But appears to be a freak accident. I can only imagine how scary that was.

SC, I did see the news coverage last night. It was awful. I can't imagine what a mess that must have been, especially that it happened right by one of the largest transportation hubs.

Here is a link from The Post with pictures of when it happened. It has an eerily similar feeling of 9/11.

Can you imagine the horror that those who were near this endured? Not knowing what was happening, the noise, seeing people running for their lives.

The one thing I can't get out of my head now is the image of shoes left on the street. People literally ran out of their shoes when they were running away.

(Notice the shoes on the street):
