it's a shame Station Masters has gone offline, it was like the only website where one could easily get maps of where the actual exits were out of the stations online.
Does this make sense to anyone.
through deductive reasoning I have come to the conclusion that there must have been a website at one point that noted where exits were located in metro stations.
Metro Stations? Him that was really hard to get. I was thinking service stations or radio stations. Never crossed my mind that he meant Subways stops.

also: why do you use so many commas? i have, a theory about it, but i want, to hear you out first.
My pet theory is that Walkie is William Shatner and he's using some sort of perceptive voice-to-text program for some reason. It actually would explain a lot.

i write as if i am speaking, with pause in places, whether for a dramatic chance to catch my mental breathe, or to make the sentence structure take on a life of being more digestible. if one stops long enough, for the mind to catch up to what they are comprehending from what they are reading, then somehow, the words mean so much more as they attempt to hold your attention; otherwise, they drift off into . . . oh who really gives a shit.
im dying, to know, your theory.

I just feel like Shatner has a better chance of being a homosexual. Walken seems like a poon hound.

I am bored. 3 more hours of work which seems like forever. I should have gotten "sick" and went to the O's doubleheader. I would start some threads to amuse myself but you guys dont' seem to appreciate them.

I jogged to the 9:30 Club and bought a Camera Obscura ticket today at lunch.
Four miles round trip, a week after kyphoplasty to repair my fractured vertebrae.
Best money I've spend in awhile (for the back procedure, we'll see about the ticket).

Maybe your jogging is what made your back weak in the first place. I swam 24 laps, did a hot-tub, and relaxed in the sauna at lunch. My lunch sounds better than yours. I saw Camera Obscura at the 930 club years ago.

My back was fine. Then I broke my vertebrae sledding. I continued running with a broken vertebrae, and that messed up other parts of my back. Then I got the vertebrae fixed, and now the other parts are improving.
So in a way you are wrong and you are right. The running didn't weaken my back and leave me susceptible to a traumatic injury. Other than perhaps my negligence of core exercises in favor of running all the time. It was the running AFTER the injury that made things worse.
I've always loved Camera Obscura on record, but have always thought they'd be boring live. Are they? But Laura Cantrell is opening (another potential snoozer, but I've seen her and she wasn't) and it's only $20 on a Friday night, so what the hell.

do you work next to a gym?
racquetball is intense.
Yeah Gym is right next door. Pretty nice, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, raquetball courts, basketball courts. We have been playing Basketball outside as not everyone is a member of the gym though and we probably would be embarrased to play next to people who actually play at a high level.

Is the club's twitter run by a teenage girl? I like to use twitter for useful information, not "omg this band is amazeballs" type shit. It's getting to be excessive.

I have often wondered the same thing and thought a Twitter parody account was in order.

I understand the need for being a cheerleader for shows, etc… Certainly wouldn't expect to bag on bands via it. But, they certainly do really get carried away for some shows.
I found it amusing a couple years ago when they were excessively twitting about the MPP Gotye show, which can only guess was still under attended
