I feel like I let you all down last week, or at least the Great Montastic, who I still owe a poem comment to. There was no From da Bus segment last week, and it must have seemed like the world stopped spinning. It probably felt as if you missed the bus. Well no my friends. You were there on time, but I just drove right by without stopping.
That’s exactly what happened to me last week. Twice. The same morning. I was waiting at the bus stop with a few other potential passengers. The first bus whisked by like a bat out of hell and packed full. Usually there is an empty bus right behind it, because as physics would prove, as the first bus stops to pick up passengers, the second bus slowly catches up since it is only five minutes behind on the route.
Not this time. The next bus didn’t show up for another 12 minutes, and by that time there were at least a dozen people at the stop. That bus was full as well, but for some reason it stopped, and people tried to board. Even though I waited 25 minutes to catch up bus, I decided to drive to work, and just deal with the traffic and overpriced parking.
I was still 15 minutes late to work, but at least I never felt like a sardine, and I got a decent story out of the whole situation.
When I did actually ride the bus last time I noticed some interesting body decorations. One girl had a tattoo on her ear lobe. Another girl had two studs pierced into her chest. My best body art display was the red ink that I accidentally smeared on my thumb at work.
Hey everybody! These days I’m all about watching and sharing funny and entertaining videos on the net. I’ve always enjoyed watching and emulating Will Farrell’s impression of the late Cubs announcer Harry Carey, and it’s good to see one of our men in uniform doing the same. I picked this up off of Deadspin, which apparently got it from none other than College Humor.
Of course, I can’t embed it, so here’s the link.
