  1. first strike against Canada... Third times the charm, right boys?!
  2. I'll say this... I just went to see Modest Mouse playing Good News for People who Love Bad News I really liked a lot of the songs on that album, but at the concert I was kinda swept up in the crowd's reaction to some of the songs I didn't really like. Evidently I was at some of the wrong parties. Dance Hall?! really this is the song that's getting the girls going? Whole crowd just cheering and singing it was great. Now, only because of that experience, I like those songs. I think the power of songs eliciting memories and experiences makes all the difference. Albums that got played start to finish at parties have the best shot in my book. Given that, gun to my head...
  3. Totally agree As for the station cleanliness, disagree. The French have a culture of "the wild piss" and the Metro is much cleaner than the Subway.
  4. I agree NYC subway is very large, in fact, I pointed that out in my original post as an upside Yes outages do occur in all systems, but notification to riders is a HUGE negative for NYC. There is a reason people say if your car suddenly empties out at a station you better go to. This has happened to me and once on the platform I found out that my local had unexpectedly been turned into an express. The only way I knew was moments before the doors closed there was a mad rush to get off and I went too. Yes Athens system is small, but if the broke ass, bureaucratic Greeks can make it work, why can't we? Syntagma Station stations look more like the MET than the subway. If you love it and think it's world class, then we just disagree.
  5. NO The only thing NYC transit has going for it is size. Trains are slow, loud, infrequent, and dirty. The stations are filthy leaking and trash strewn. PA announcements on the trains are a joke... even when there is a sudden arbitrary change in service. (like JK this train isn't going where we said it would) You only get the peanuts adult voice played through a blasted out 3" speaker. Don't get me wrong, it's great for a US city. But compared to pretty much any modern country it's a dog, just getting by on nostalgia. Athens has a nicer system. 45mins from Eleftherios(Athens International) to central Athens 1 train straight in and it's probably 15 miles. La Guardia to Central Park Bus>Train>Subway Over an hour and 15 mins of that is walking and it's probably less than 9 miles. Newark or JFK....ppppffffft It's a pale shadow of what it could be.
  6. ZTLs man I wish we would put these in all of our city centers... never, never going to happen.
  7. Cameras are cheap and you're talking about basically a long skinny peninsula. At some point the ducking and dodging will cost them more in time and make other modes of transport more desirable.
  8. First of all that sucks... but every cloud has its silver lining, a lot more boat time headed your way! Well, unless those embers carry
  9. too bad Lincoln's security didn't shoot him in the fucking face. He, like Babbitt died a traitor's death
  10. I let a goth chick "take me" to a Voice of the Beehive concert. I had pay for, drive to, and park in South Beach (which was skeezy at the time.) The club was some crazy coke joint on Washington Ave, then the concert started and was like WTF?! Then didn't even get laid... so let's just say it wasn't a great time. In case you haven't heard of them... and why would you have?
  11. When Canada rules the world, you'll all be sorry!
  12. 51st state! It'shappening.gif
  13. fuck etn, fuck gawga, and finally fuck notre dame... in that order
  14. I don't know what you mean!
  15. Hey it’s Franklin, coming to your house…
  16. Even Jesus can’t forgive their field
  17. Hands to the face? What about penn st’s hands to the boys?
  18. Rooting for Boise despite their crimes against humanity and gimmicky field. Fuck pedo st
