You're just too young to grasp how stylin' I really was. All the boys wanted to do me when I was 5. Actually the girls did too. My haircut was confusing.
I am not going to say I didn't enjoy the experience looking back at it now, but I have never felt so far out of my element than I did that night. I would have been juuuuuuuuust fine without that little adventurous part of the evening
edit: Alright, i'll just say it, I was friggin terrified!!

Getting outta yer element is good for you, Mike - it's healthy, even if the subway air is not. I mean, sheesh, Mr. Fancypants - we can't all take taxis everywhere!
And the NYC subway really isn't that frightening - just avoid eye contact at all costs, ignore the crazies, and don't go exploring the less gentrified areas after dark. Same basic rules as up on street level, really.
Next step on the list: dragging you to a show at Barclays Center and getting you to explore one of those less gentrified areas after dark.
$2 billion in unanticipated funds? And the fares keep going up and there's constantly problems and construction going on. Wow.
Today, I got on a 6 train at Grand Central Terminal. It went 1 stop, broke down, and I had to walk to 59th street to get another one. That one didn't come for 25 minutes, then when it got there it didn't leave the station for 10 minutes, all the while some sh*tpile of a human being kept going over the PA system to say we were going to "leave the premesis shortly." An hour. It took an hour to take an elevator down to the lobby of my building, walk into the subway (without leaving the building, it has a direct corridor to the subways), take the 6 line to 77th street and then literally walk half a block to go into a field office.
In a non-f*cked world that is a 15 minute trip, 20 minutes, tops.
Yeah, NYC transit is good, but it seems to fail when you need it to run properly the most.

Oh I would do it again in a heartbeat looking back now. If you asked me at the time though, different story
Of all words...why is it so common for people to abbreviate "because" as "bc"?? So weird to me. It's not even a particularly long or difficult word.
IM/Texting language taking over real life speech. I usually just use "cuz". One letter more and much cooler. g2g ttyl
Straight up, I started using bc during the AIM era of the early internet; because I HATED cuz. Then twitter happened and abbreviations at work -- I end up writing bc and ppl pretty often

FLOOR LAVA PROTECTION! (Couch)
Do you love your family?
Do you want to protect them?
Then why have you not yet done anything about the fact that THE FLOOR IS LAVA. YOU CAN'T TOUCH IT OR YOU'LL DIE!
For the low cost of $25 you can spare your family from this terrible fate. We are offering a floor-lava proof island to provide shelter and safety. It has been know to protect up to 4 people simultaneously but may hold even more in a dire emergency.
That's only $6.25 per person to SAVE THEM FROM THE LAVA COVERING THE FLOOR!
As a FREE bonus we'll throw in four soft, comfortable, throwable (and most importantly LAVAPROOF) stepping stones, allowing for the mobility to reach safe areas of the floor. These may provide YOUR ONLY CHANCE OF RESCUE.
So please, for the love of your family -- especially your children -- act now. Don't let this simple solution to a deadly and common problem slip away.

"Lavaman" as we called it was our favorite childhood game. Works anywhere from living room to big playground equipment. Lavaman is the one who is it, and needs to tag someone who will become the new Lavaman. Catch is, Lavaman can only move around on the lowest surface (living room carpet, playground sand) and all the others need to stay in high ground and can't touch the lowest part because its lava and touching it will automatically turn one into Lavaman, freeing the previous title holder.
Thee shipping costs from Kansas City might prove to be prohibitive.
Well, sheeeittt. This didn't feel appropriate for the grrr thread, but I forgot a show for the first time tonight. It was a cheap show and an Aussie band, but still one I was looking forward to. Bah.
I am going to chalk this one up to my perennially-shitty short-term memory, and the humid 100-degree swelter melting my brain (err, that's Fahrenheit, not Celsius - but it was boiling today).
I would drink a lot more at bars if I relied on public transportation. 0% of DUI
I live 4 blocks away from a cute "destination" type area with toooons of restaurants and bars (and almost no chains). I rarely drive anymore, and if I do, it's only 2-3 minutes. Good for avoiding DUI, but also spoils me. Whenever I get invited anywhere else, I am apprehensive to go. "What do you mean it's a TEN MINUTE DRIVE?!?!"
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I can't wait until Buzzfeed and Upworthy aren't cool anymore.
Upworthy drives me up a wall with it's general descriptions and innuendos. Buzzfeed is hit or miss. Just yesterday, I ate a cupcake "the right way" for the first time- something I learned from Buzzfeed a while back.

That's called a cake sandwich.
Next thing I know you'll be telling me that a hamburger is a sandwich.

I like Upworthy more than Buzzfeed. Upworthy shows me some stuff I'm glad to watch. Buzzfeed is a time-killer but a lot of their lists annoy me because it's clearly just someone searching tumblr for GIFs and then making stuff up about them.

I can't tell you how many shows I've gone to where I get out and head to a subway to find out it's closed or getting work done and then I have to find alternate routes. End up missing my train back to Long Island and hanging in Penn Station for a while.
The google transit directions on my phone are the best for getting around NYC. They are tied into the system so they typically have a better idea of what is going on than stuff at the stations. They have saved my ass more than once when I would have been lost because they knew the night schedule as well.
