No pictures, soz, but some train schadenfreude: two guys on my morning commute this week, bit squiffy despite the early hour (about 9am), loud & abusive to the other passengers, etc. One of them got a call from a mate waiting for him at the next station, and he kept shouting phone-matey that he was on his way, yep, next station, yep yep, he'll be there soon, it's the next station at XXX, yep yep.

Dude in front of the noisy guys suddenly stands up with a look of John Candy-esque joy on his face, and says in a fruity Birmingham accent, 'You getting off at XXX?'

Loud matey: Yep what's it to you, gently caress you, etc.

John Candy: You're on the wrong train, mate -- we're going in the opposite direction!

Loud matey and his pal hurl a torrent of abuse at everyone on the carriage for not telling them.

John Candy: That's ok -- just get off at the next station, cross over the platform, and the train you need will just be pulling in.

Loud mateys bustle to get off the train as we pull into the next station, and see that their train is not only sat there, but pulls away as the race down the platform to the pedestrian bridge to cross over. The next train back is an hour later.

Schadenfreude, or instant karma, who knows. The John Candy guy, though, was so happy to be the bearer of the bad news

So, basically a bunch of fat, clumsy people plummeting headfirst into a crash pad? I'd pay to see that.

After six months of scrupulous examination, Larson realized that the “random” sequences on Press Your Luck’s Big Board weren’t random at all, but rather five looping patterns that would always jump between the same squares. He wrote down these patterns, memorized them, then honed his timing by watching re-runs and hitting “pause” on his VCR remote when he suspected the board would land on a given square.

Most crucially, Larson determined that two squares on the game board, #4 and #8, always contained a combination of cash and an extra spin. Since he’d memorized the patterns, he knew exactly when the board would land on each square.

...

When the game ended, Larson raised his arms in triumph and emitted a primal scream: he had secured $104,950 in cash, a sailboat ($1,015), and two all-inclusive trips, which brought his total winnings to $110,237. ... Larson had made a fool of CBS: He'd spun the show's board 47 times. He’d won more than any other daytime game show contestant in history. And he’d done so by finding an inherent flaw in television’s most “technologically impressive” game board.

The G train is the best train on the entire system, as far is the station locations, where it goes, etc. The G train is the 2nd WORST train on the service (second to the L) as far as train frequency, punctuality, crowdedness, etc...
I remember back in 2009, you could take the G from Greenpoint all the way to Astoria. Those were the days...

The real scoodyfroody: the L train has a HUGE ridership and is headed for an imminent shutdown for undetermined amount of time. Oh boy...

I think my favorite are the people complaining about the game now having two lesbians, why does the game need two lesbians? Of course none of the other characters have been outed as lesbians, but apparently some guys assume Zayra must be a lesbian.



I hope they show her married to a burly lumberjack who adores his swole sweetie.

Is anybody going to play at this inauguration? It seems like it is heading towards an empty stage.

The Pats are a good team who deserved to be in the Super Bowl, but who also have magical wizard powers that cause their opponents to pass the ball when running it is the very obvious game winning move.

Like just three runs and a FG means the Falcons win, instead they lose 23 yards on pass plays and end up losing the game. Seahawks pass instead of run and get picked. I wish I had Belicheck's black magic.

They've tried. I can't find the link right now, but some people last year during the campaign used third-party apps to view Twitter and saw that the really incendiary tweets with awful grammar and a total lack of diplomacy or sense were made from an Android, while the normal "Thank you for existing Cleveland!" tweets with pictures of cheering crowds and such were made from an iPhone. This suggests that Trump just gave some staffers access to his personal Twitter account and the staffers tried to make normal tweets to keep attention while Trump threw out insults and bizarre screaming at 3:00 AM.

It's his personal Twitter rather than the official POTUS one that he's using, which is probably one of the reasons it's so hard to wrest control from him.

Arby's has had their social media people doing nerd and video game references non-stop since September 2015, but they've succeeded and practically doubled their shares on Facebook (meaning double the attention they normally get) by doing a bunch of really creative and elaborate sculptures with food packaging.
