He feels it's beneath him to ride the R32s....

That's only 40% of the reason. The takes 15 minutes to arrive.

I go out of my way to avoid having to take the train. In fact, whenever I need the Franklin Avenue (S)huttle, I take the to Nostrand and then walk.

The Orion Vs are worse, especially the Cummins-powered ones.

I disagree. The Cummins had the coolest engine noise.

I'm addicted to Snapple Sweet Tea. The only problem is that it's a rare flavor. Not every bodega or deli sells it.

Subchatters have the dumbest bus route ideas. Someone proposed combining the Q76 and Q77, even though it would circumvent downtown Jamaica. Another person wanted to extend the Q44 to JFK Airport.

Not sure if mentioned already, but 8752's back is totally white [even the rear display sign]. 9643, wow, did it always have a 'roar' sound? You can hear that bus a whole block away.

 

I missed getting on a Nova LFS on the B6 as the bus closed up just as I got to the door. It think it was 8034. there was also another LFS before it, but didn't get the number.

Wait outside the Ulmer Park depot. There are a crapload of LFS buses there. They usually go into service on the B3, B6, and B64.

NASCAR should be an Olympic sport.

It's not even a real sport. Guys driving in a car around a track?

Today I did some Bronx fanning. I spent 45 minutes at City Island, waiting for the BxM7A. At 6:50, I finally gave up. Two minutes later, the Bx29 back to Coop City was crossing the City Island Bridge when I saw the BxM7A heading to City Island. However, I did catch an Artic on the Bee Line 45 route. Pics will be posted on Friday.

It wasn't that bad. However, the first hour should have been a separate episode. After Lex stabbed Tess, she gave him that cream that eradicated all his bad memories so he basically became "good". It showed him as President.

The funniest joke was that last Friday's Daily News had a real estate section that said that Stapleton was an up and coming neighborhood.

That is so tasty. It is one of the most popular meals for college and law students. However, it is loaded with salt.

is your mother's name Elease & your father's name Charles?

Yeah. Just out of curiosity, how did you know that? Facebook?

Leonard William Wilson. Sometimes I'm called Leo (never Lenny).

After I took my Torts final exam, I had lunch in Flushing. I then took the Q28 to Bayside. I was trying to take QM2A pics but that was an epic fail. One bus went by too fast. When I tried to take a pic of another bus, the driver made this gesture. A Caucasian woman who got off the bus looked at me funny. Since I was in a weird neighborhood and I didn't want any crap, I got out of there. I took the Q76 back to Jamaica. There were a few Bayside High School kids coming back from their track and football practice. Although the Q76 is along route, it is deceptively fast.

On my Torts final exam, there was a question about a bus crash. The bus company was called Macro Bus.

I'm going through the same sh*t in law school.

For future reference, before you register for a class, check out the professor at http://www.ratemyprofessors.com

Are each of the stations before each terminal like that, or just on the ?

I think the N/B platform at 145 Street is exit only.

via 53rd today!!!

There were plenty of seats on the bus, but I don't appreciate dudes disrespecting me.

I just got off the Q85 bus. As I was boarding at Jamaica Center, this fool tried to skip me on line. He didn't try that with the guy in front of me. I held my arm out and said, "Excuse me." He mumbled some sh*t but did nothing. Of course this wouldn't have happened on an EXPRESS BUS.

After 11 PM, there seems to be a 2 to 1 ratio of Q4's to Q85's. I'm going to start taking the Q5 when I travel after 11 PM.

After a long night of studying, I took the Q44 home. I got on around 12:30 AM. As we passed the Van Wyck Expressway, a passenger decided to show me what he had for dinner. Needless to say, I quickly got off. I had to wait 20 minutes in the freezing cold for the next bus. The other passengers remained on the bus. I guess they were so tired that they were oblivious to the stench.

I get some natural tea, along with this natural honey from Germany that I enjoy and some natural lemon juice. Fresh natural lemons could work too of course. The honey soothes the throat amongst other things and the lemon also helps too.

 

I keep emphasizing natural because I find that it works well in helping the body recover quicker. Whenever I do get sick which isn't often that's what I use. As far as Halls go I would elect for a natural one that works well and tastes 10 times better. I use these natural herbal candy drops from Switzerland which are made by Ricola. They're very tasty and also help to soothe the throat.

 

I would recommend some herbal stuff, but I don't know where to go here in the States. In Italy we had herbal stores that specialized in certain herbs and such that you could use for colds and upset stomachs and such.

Whole Foods sells a plethora of herbal medicine

To me the 90s were the good ol' days. I remember the one on 86th and 3rd Av. I have no idea what it is now. I only know that it was near a movie theater [dunno if that's still there either].

 

Speaking of Petco, the Petco at Utica and Flatbush used to be part of a larger Burger King site. It had an arcade building and a mini/kidie amusement park with a mini coaster and mini 'tea cup' ride. Damn, if only I had pics of it. It was quite a sight.

It seems like the arcade era is over in the city. I think it has to do with hoodlums congregating at arcades. Even the arcade in Chinatown is moving to a bar in Williamsburg. Broadway City in Times Square was epic, but thanks to a stabbing and a rape, it is gone.
