Thanks to Quis for calling and closing the last thread
Yet Another Kill This Thread!
The following rules were established by Kent at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE: The rules: 1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win! 2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and responses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however. 3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win. 4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours. Okay, time to kill!
I - walkwithcrowds (7-day version)
II - none

V - Rockhopper Lad (the first 24-hour version)

Traffic can affect public transport too. Unless it's the train...

It's a train. A subway train to be precise. Although some of the subway trains also go along on the streets for part of the way, the one I take does not. So there.

I use the Red Line. I am headed into town from Dorchester. A coworker takes it from Porter. She always has trouble.

The last movie from that era I saw was Something else else For Everyone. It's pretty dated, but hey-- it had a young Michael York in shorts, so that's something. Angela Lansbury pretty much ran away with the whole film. I love her.

Something else else for Everybody is the title of a Devo album that I'm quite partial to.

I always wondered if they were called Rugrats, because they spend a lot of time crawling on rugs.

"Rugrat" is a common slang term for a small child.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

My fave non-hipster ice cream place closed its doors in September. Someone new owns the place, but last time we were there, they still hadn't worked out all the bugs. We never did get our ice cream. [grumble]

The Howard Johnson's restaurant chain sold 28 flavors of ice cream. I remember their vanilla fondly.

I went to the world's best gelato store. They won the award at least twice. I had the cinnamon and dark chocolate flavors, among others.

I had a coupon for the supermarket-brand take of Cherry Garcia. It's okay. I feel like I should go take a pic of myself eating ice cream in the snow, just because.

Blaze went to the Swiss Alps, took off his shirt, and took a picture. Then some tourists spotted him and took a picture with him, too. Show-off. I just wonder where that pic of his will end up...

We sort of did that once, at a foam party we attended. Twice actually. The first time was a disaster. The second was better.
