Ah Ha, Hush That Fuss

Wednesday, May 14, 2008



Because I can't read I didn't notice a little something something from my favorite Allie recognizing me for being Indian or something. So thanks Allie. And like Adam Sandler says, "Stay Cool, Stay Clean, Stay Focused, Frankenstein, have fun with your friends."

Has anyone seen the price of gas lately? No? No? Well it's like 8 dollars a gallon (approximate). It's insanity. When I become president I'm going to make all vehicles run on peanut sauce because I know like 3 people that actually eat that stuff and the rest is just rotting away on Supermarket shelves around America. Lets put it to good use.

Since gas is so expensive I decided to take a little trip yesterday on what the Germans call the "Booze" (I made that up) or in English, bus. There are a couple things people in Los Angeles don't do. The first is take public transportation. The second thing is pretend they're poor. That is not cool. The third thing is "be real." I love when people say that. " Yo, homes, you're not being real." Huh? What does that even mean? You know whats going to be real? A real kick in the groin, that's what.

+1

Anyways, at lunchtime I took the bus down to the mall to go buy some sweet sunglasses. Since my car was in the shop, I needed someway to get around and the bus stop is right outside my work building. I would have live blogged the event, but shockingly, the LA metro buses are not wired for Internet usage. I got that sense when I walked in to the bus and saw a used "Leave It to Beaver" lunchbox from 1952 on the ground in the back of the bus.

Damn that brown-nosing Eddie. What a two-face.

So anyways lets play the LA bus game by the numbers shall we? That's a rhetorical question please don't answer.

1 - The amount of African-American older gentlemen that were riding the bus with a huge white hair Afro

6 - The amount of kids that made fun of said white hair Afro man while walking by him at the bus stop.

2 - The amount of laughs I got when I told one of the kids making fun of him that his fly was open and that he had boogers on his lip.

Infinity - How great I felt. Making fun of kids rocks.

4 - Number of drunk people on the bus at 12:15 P.M.

3 - Number of times one drunk guy told the bus driver, "Man, you're a cool cat. Real cool."

(Aside- Is there any better compliment than "you're a cool cat"? Really try to think of one.)

1,534 - Amount of time I checked the bus schedule to make sure I was on the right bus.

3 - stops before I realized I was on the wrong bus

.4 - miles I had to walk to get back to the right bus stop

75 - amount in cents it supposed to cost for a one way ride

1.50 - amount I paid because my dumbass got on the wrong bus.

2 - Amount of apples the old lady next to me with no teeth ate on the bus

1 - Number of cores she ate

1 - Number of cores shew threw on the ground

Negative 562 - Her "classy" rating.

10 - amount of times the bus driver told her, "No eating in the bus ma'am"

1 - guy that slept in the bus

1.2 - gallons of drool that came went from his mouth onto his shirt. (approximate)

45 - minutes it took to get to the mall after my initial venture out of the building

15 - minutes I spent in the mall

30 -minutes I spent waiting for the bus back

2.15 - average number of minutes people will waste reading this post.

"cool cat" is one hell of a compliment. i mean, i might be impartial because i am pretty much the Cat Lady you wrote about yesterday, but still.

Deutlich said...

stuff like this is precisely why I can't handle public transpo

..that and my iPod died

Allie-gator said...

Yeah I'm not a good wait-er (not to be confused with waiter-I'm not in the food industry and I'm definitly not a man!)

Poor -562 lady...she can't help it they don't give her a lunch break at the 24hr dinner.

Chardsy said...

You are a far better person than I am, no way in hell would I take the LA city bus. Any other city I would do public transpo in a sec, just not here. My buddy once told me that the LA City Bus was like a magnifying glass for the poor.

I laughed. And now I am going to hell.

You should just walk everywhere, that's what I started doing.

April said...

You're a cool cat RS27.

Yes! I was first to say it. Cyber knuckle knock. Come on. No?

Lauren said...

Hey rs, you're a cool cat.

There, I said it.

Also--I wish public transportation was more enticing. Reasons like the above are why I never take it. Specifically the drooling man.

The Alleged Ringleader said...

I have NO IDEA how to take the bus! NO CLUE! Is it really only .75 cents? I mean...assuming you make the right choices.

You are a cool cat.

surviving myself said...

Ah yes, public transportation and all it's wonders. I know it all too well.

Nachi said...

you're such a cool cat

the price of gas IS ridiculous but I don't think I could ride the bus...especially the one you were on. yuck

p.s. how much IS gas over there? it's 3.75 here in NC

Kristen said...

2.15- number of minutes of my life I wish I had back thanks to reading this dumb post.

Don't get mad. I'm just being real.

Kristen said...

I'm only kidding.

Arjewtino said...

Blue and I once took a bus to our high school football game and got hit on by a man named Sergio.

Our high school lost. Fucking Sergio.

margottobed said...

thanks for stopping by and voting on my blog! so nice!

Megan said...

Oh, the LA bus is truly an exercise in masochism. The Big Blue was free for me when I was in college (and even more broke than I am now), and even then...still not always worth the price.

Alexa said...

um, so did you get sunglasses?

duh.

bloggingbarbie said...

you're a real cool cat, dude.

i also think you need to do more numbers posts. because you? are hilarious. but we already knew that.

xo, b

Stories from the shame train, Beard. Stories from the shame train.

megkathleen said...

Public transportation - it's the worst! And, yet, it's the best for people watching - like you have just proven in your post.

rs27 said...

brooke- Not cool= cat lady.

Deutlich- Public Transpo is where its at! Thats the LADOT motto.

Allie- ooh that lady got served! I hope you don't run into her.

Chard- Oh, magnifying glass jokes are where it at. I do walk. But then I get hit by bicycles.

April- You win! The cool cats call it a fist pound.

Lauren- Ah, too late. But I'll take it. :) It is enticing. 75 cents to explore the world!

Alleged- Its easy. Get on bus. Don't breathe. Put money in thing. Sit down next to crazy people.

surviving - Public transpo loves you too.

Nachi- Now you guys are patronizing me. Gas is 3.89 over here.

Kristen - Your Beard is Good - A blog where people stop being polite and start getting real

Arjewtino - How old were you when you went to said game?

margot- No prob. Cool project!

Megan - Masoschism on the bus. Thats the title of a new novel.

Alexa- Yup, 20 bucks for 2!

blogging- pouring it on. I'm just going to do a long division post.

So- I would take a shame train right about now.

meg- in conclusion, this post is fact.

Bella said...

Public transportation. Thank god I live in a small town!

Kali said...

I hate numbers. And Irish public transport.

Suzy Q said...

I take the bus to and from work sometimes. It is scary and fun and boring and humiliating all at the same time. But you know what is worse? Paying $8 a gallon for gas. I'd rather buy an $8 drink.

Wonderful World of Weiners said...

I was told I HAD to read your blog cuz you are HYSTERICAL. SO here I am and yes you are!

Hallie :)

Best. Number. Ever.

A Martini Always Helps said...

People that eat apple cores scare me. I always think this means an apple tree will grow in their stomach.

I'm 6.

Dolce said...

How do you eat an apple with no teeth? Wait, I'm missing the big picture. You should really think about getting a bike.
