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 III - none IV - Quislet, Esq V - Rockhopper Lad (the first 24-hour version) VI - Rockhopper Lad VII - cleome VIII - Rockhopper Lad IX - Rockhopper Lad X - none XI - none XII - none XIII - Invisible Brainiac XIV - Invisible Brainiac XV - Invisible Brainiac XVI - Invisible Brainiac

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.

Quis, the Orange Line is horrible. The trains leak in the rain from the roof in cars.

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

The trains where I live have malfunctioned often in the past few years.

Constant cost cutting is taking its toll on my commute in the mornings. Points failure today.

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.
Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on DeviantArt! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. *updated often!*

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."

I only ever heard it refer to the kid's cartoon.
Keep up with what I've been watching lately! "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you."
