  1. With all this new stuff the MTA will get, I'm surprised they've had the same runbox for over 20 years. The only LEDs I see are in the destination signs.
  2. Is all that guy going to do - post things about how the United States sucks and Europe (or Asia) are both better than the US at everything? It takes 20 countries to make a euro stand up to the dollar.
  3. That site's layout makes me want to punch people. They haven't come out of 1997 yet? Sadly, that's one of the few sites to get LI news.... and the same [drowned out by freight train on LIRR tracks] posts on all of those sites. I'd register on the site if I didn't need to pull an Indiana Jones to click on every reply to a thread. And get past all the CRIKEY posts.
  4. I have my English final Wednesday, Accounting AND Microeconomics next Monday, and Business Law the day after that. I'm not worried about English - I've been getting Bs on every paper and I aced my midterm. I'm worried more about Accounting and Micro because I bombed the second test in Accounting and only got a 70 on the first one.
  5. There's a ****ing duck in the Fresh Pond logo? I thought that was a stalk in front of a lilypad or something.
  6. PROTIP: When saving desktop images (if using PrntScrn), save them in PNG format. Ditto for anything you use Print Screen for.
  7. "Hey, I speak a little French - you're an assbite, pardon my French."
  8. And it just came out of nowhere, like, "LOL **** YOU" from an artist that hasn't really released anything significant in years. Anything to bring down all the "artists" that get worshipped for crappy, similar-sounding music.
  9. I found a story I can only describe as "Joel at 11 being swept up in the commercialization of rap at the turn of 2002, the last years of Cartoon Network and all that being decent, the end of the junk food craze of the 1990s, his varied interests at the time and a whole bunch of [Orion VII kneeler alarm] I can't describe here without necessitating an ISP ban" and read through it again. Apparently, at 11 while writing it: -I was obsessed with putting references to random songs in the story. The first one was "Ghetto Superstar." -I thought using leetspeak (numbers as letters, etc.) was cool. -Rims larger than 17" on most cars was completely reasonable. -No sentence was any longer than fourteen words maximum until a 2007 edit. -I had some damn good spelling at 11. -2003, the year I started typing it, was the last year I listened to Z100 religiously. Now I die a little on the inside when I hear it on the "radio." I made a reference to it... -The only guns I knew about were from Counter-Strike and used in the story. And it was the same 7 weapons every time. I watched that Taxicab Confessions thing on HBO a couple hours ago. Some ****ed up ****.... but wow, I missed a hell of a decade there. Chevy Caprice taxicabs? I knew that show took place in the mid-1990s.
  10. The alphanumeric (letter before number) route designation system makes me feel at home. Last October I accidentally only paid $2.00 on an N4 and the bus operator gave me a transfer anyway... now I ask for a transfer and remember to carry around enough money.
  11. Goddamn laptop mousepads and people who think they are better than a proper mouse, wired or not.
  12. Don't forget: Hempstead Transit Center Nassau CC's Student Union Hell, just about anywhere there IS bus service...
  13. Misa Campo is hot. Very hot. She is the reason why I love mixed girls. When I read that her voice was annoying, I had to hear her for myself.... her voice would make the deaf cry.
  14. I noticed the WD name in the bar there... I've heard different things about different WD drives... and I'm looking into one to back up/keep stuff on because this PC's main HDD is running out of space and the disconnected spare 250 GB? How the hell will I connect that? I'm trying to look for one but I don't want to have one s[Orion VII NG kneeler alarm] out on me.
  15. When I first rode LIB a year ago, I thought the Orion V and the RTS were the same model because I noticed that the operator's side of the windshield were sloped at the same angle, and the Orion V was basically an RTS with a different top.
  16. Part 6 is ready for launch. -Skateboarders. Oh, how I wish those idiotic skateboarders that tried to drop their boards in front of that N4 were run over by it. No one would miss them. -Emos -Goths -Satanists -The kneeler sound on the O7 NG CNGs -Buses whose backup alarms don't work -When two buses try to back out of their bays at Hempstead without a LIB employee and they end up trying to back out at the same time, and end up waiting for one another to move -PDAs (not the electronic devices...) -idiots that take the handicapped seats -people that talk loudly on their cell phone... four feet away from a room -teachers that can't teach and then bitch when the test scores turn out low -Shakespeare. You call that "modern" English? -body odor -The names of the non-airport MTA Bus depots (no offense, knightrider) -Obnoxious idiots that were somehow admitted to an educational institution (the ones that are on their phones even when someone is talking to them and need help to find something that's 4 doors down) -killing chatrooms -Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, etc. They're all the same shit, and they're equally as bad. I hope they all die along with their fans. -Emo music. I'm talking those indie bands and no name artists whose fangirls fill their MP3 players with their horrible music. Their lyrics make me want to stab my eardrums with a scalpel. -Paddle shifters on cars -Ferrari -being sick -when buses obviously need to be taken back to the depot and fixed or scrapped and the operator simply drives as if they're just fine -operators that go out of service at hempstead to **** around and make everyone wait 20 minutes for the next bus -the dyslexics that support English spelling reform -the very idea of reforming the language in any way -stoners -The LIRR -the term "fare zone" -casinos -"diet" drinks -people that bother me for change when I clearly have none -politicians -anarchists
  17. Thanks for the signs! Sorry to bother you with a request so soon, but what do normal , , and trains show on rollsigns/the LEDs on the R143/160? I'm a lot better with buses...
  18. Part 6 of "Joel is Annoyed by Everything" comes up whenever the weather doesn't have a seizure and make me feel like crap.
  19. I didn't know Waverly Place was actually real... or in Manhattan until I watched that show. I died on the inside when I learned that I only knew of that place because of a Disney Channel show.
  20. N25 - Great Neck LIRR Station via New Hyde Pk Rd Also... N43 Freeport LIRR Station Via Uniondale Av Via Main St N4 Jamaica Parsons-Archer Via Merrick Rd Don't be sorry that you denied [drowned out by train passing by]'s requests... For the LIRR routes (25 and 43), the "LIRR Station" segment is centered under the name of the town... and don't worry, my routes are very much real.
  21. Next thing you know, we'll see "KW" trains powering down the "Brawdway" line and people getting on the N15 and N16 to "Rozevelt Feeld." Not all of us are perfect at spelling and grammar, but that doesn't mean you can nitpick the very language we speak for it. I know people that were born and raised here that can't even spell the name of the town they live in.
  22. Joel knows not mercy! Part 5: -People that put all of their goddamned friends as "relatives" or siblings/family on Facebook -Those pages full of things that you can "like" and ends up as a wall post on Facebook -Formula One since Schuiteater and Ferrari cheated and paid Ferrari international assistance to win all those races. Ironically, this was also the best time period in terms of course layouts and choice. -The belief that a message completely in capital letters is the equivalent of yelling -people that keep secrets And I have nothing to hide myself. What should I think if you say something and won't tell me anything about it? -Text speak -tree huggers -Being held up on Hempstead Avenue in Malverne because the stupid f**king West Hempstead trains, which a total of 9 people ride a day, have to go 4 MPH through the grade crossing -The fact that Valley Stream is on a different LIRR branch from every other town on Long Island -Bikers -12 year olds (and under) -when my PC freezes up because I clicked something weird (and my PC is 4 years old) -Firefox crashing for no reason -People that refuse to stop using Internet Explorer, aka "Every time you open this you activate a worm on your PC" -Westbury and Hicksville -Buses bound for those towns -politics in general -bureaucrats -The backs of the Orion VIIs on Long Island (the back seats) -Two and a Half Men
  23. Please, Fresh Pond has better flow than that rapper. (And where is the geographical feature now?) Part 4: Lil' Wayne (At least 50 Cent got shot by someone else.) Fantasy subway threads Autotune Mainstream rappers from after 2005 Power 105.1 and Hot 97 not playing hot joints from the 1990s (which they don't... until about 5-8 AM) Burger King (Like Wendy's more) Health nuts Safety nuts People that are mad and make fun of America because their country sucks/is a nanny state Stoners Watching a bus go out of service and back out of Hempstead right in front of a crowd of at least 15 people Hand dryers that don't dry your hands completely (and none of them do) People that are a**holes to everyone without provocation Riding a bus route I've never been on only to see the Clever Devices sign off (and the operator will ask why I got on if I don't know the route, so I don't ask any of them anything unless they're nice) Idiots that don't know that their MetroCard is empty and keep dipping it into the farebox only to keep getting the "empty/bad card" sound Metalheads that diss rap because their genre is too broad and dying and generic The farebox "bad/empty card" sound People that make spiteful posts People that think American cars are better than anyone else's cars Any Porsche that isn't a 911 and its driver
  24. Why can't we just close those shits rather than let arguments bust out and a mod only close it after 30 posts? Can we seriously stop these damned threads? It's fun scrolling down and watching an argument break out because a train stops where it shouldn't, when it's a "fantasy."
