Indeed. But I've researched nothing there.

Ok ....I confess that isn't really one person. More of a composite of bad train experiences from over the years.

But a guy cutting his toe nails on the train is a true event!

Having been to many house/apt/condo fires started from people grilling on their balcony I can tell you that this is a very logical regulation.

One of the commercial breaks leaving the Open called the coverage "Day 2-ish." :D

For a moment there I thought the discussion was about jelly.

I was on the commuter rail between Westchester and NYC a couple years ago and a very attractive member of the opposite sex decides to sit facing across from me. I quickly look around and realize there are several open seats on the train so I'm thinking I'm going to proceed to make a fool of myself for the next 30 minutes as I try and talk to her (typical result).

Just when I was about to turn off the iPod and give her an "aloha" I see her, what appears to be, regurgitating an owl pellet. She's almost going into convulsions as she's bringing something up and gagging. The EMT in me asks if she's okay and she looks at me with a scowl and nods her head in an obvious gesture that I just inconvenienced her. She then proceeded to bring up wads of phlegm for the next 30 minutes, taking them out of her mouth with her hand and wiping them on the seat next to her. Giant globs of snot.

Note to any out of towners who visit NYC and take the subway. If a train pulls up and every car is packed to the brim with people, except for one car, which only has a handful of people. Don't go into this car. There is a reason why no one is in it. Promise.

Poo. I still want to do a Box golf trip - my top three choices are Bethpage, BHM, LAS - in that order.

There are some nice courses in Asheville, NC and surrounding area as well.

We have one Dunkin' in town. When it was under renovation to the new style, it was closed for months - I thought one of my staff members (originally from MA) was going to keel over.

Looks like the movie I had a small part in cut my scene in the final edit. I guess I wasn't convincing enough that the pretzels were making me thirsty. :rolleyes:

I want those 8 hours of my life back.

That's revolting.

I once was going to be an extra in a movie for a friend. After hanging out at the local Deja Vu for about three hours waiting for them to get to the point of resuming the shooting, i gave up and left.

It was the right decision, they ended up not starting until about 9pm and I left at about 6pm.

Interesting side note for you and jrzyshawn it's a super troopers-esque movie about Paramedics. The script was hilarious when I read it, the movie, not so great when I saw one of the first cuts. But it just went into a direct to video release. Does have some great gems in it, but overall, ehhhh....
