    What's that infuriating tourist blocking the crowded stairway whilst trying to read your pocket subway map? You're confused by the weekend schedule? Sure! I'd be happy to help. Take the Douchebag express train to the last stop: YOU.

    How fucking dumb was that $1 Holiday fare they gave the tourists in 2005? I knew how dumb it was then, and look, it's even dumber now.


    Also, my grandfather refuses to stop talking about how it was only 5 cents to ride the subway in the 1930s and how $2 is so insane. Not really, gramps, it's called inflation.

    I saw Kate Hudson and Dane Cook's horrific new film yesterday and I have to confess something equally horrific; I thought he was hot in it.


    Can someone reccommend an effective cure/tonic/solution/hormone replacement therapy?

    @BookishLookish: Urban dictionary has some helpful definitions as to what "orientals" do to their import cars. What they don't mention is they jew the dealers down on the price first and then drive through Harlem where all those uppity black folks be eating watermelon an' fried chicken. A then a scottish person is really cheap, for some reason, and beats you with their penny-filled sporan.

    He (and I say "he" because I'd like to think no chick would right something so forced and marginally funny) forgot subway pole leaners, door bum rushers, and McDonald's stank-smell bringers.

    @BookishLookish: I had to google ricers and it wasn't as offensive as I feared. But it still has to do with Asian cars, so it's still a bit icky.

    The rest of the map is sorta funny, though, I thought. But I'm easily amused sometimes.
