h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So I decided, after two trash bags and a cockroach investation, that a new trash can is in order, but because I'm up in the hinterlands of Quiesqueya Heights the closest office store with some cool selections is the Office Max down in Times Square. So, I walk to the A train on 207th, and am barred from the entrance because a man threw himself or was pushed on the tracks and they were still washing him off an uptown train.

So's I go to the 1 train three blocks away, also on 207th, but nearer the bridge to the Bronx, and the booth attendant tells me, "Sorry, man, the station's closed for track repairs. If I were you, I'd walk down to Dyckman." *Shrug, curse* So, seven more blocks later, I take a packed 1 train to 42nd and get to the store just as it closes. Thank you, train delays.

But it doesn't end! I take the newly reopened A train back uptown, but it gets stuck for 40 minutes between 116th and 125th thanks to police action at the station. What is today, Terrorist Day? People dieing needlessly just to waste my time? Ugh!

Hiya, how ya doin'??? Not been about for a while, had a little break. Tell me what do you have against the people who live on LI? We have
a friend and an aunt over at the moment, not seen much of 'em though. Have ya finally managed to get a new trash can yet???

Yes, from a crazy man who "ran" a hardware store up a few blocks from me... well, more like he read newspapers and made off-color remarks to potential customers while his wife did everything. But a new garbage can I do have.

And I'm a city boy. We hate suburbanites. It's well documented, even. =p

Hiya NYC Student,

Howz things with you then these days??? My reatives from LI have gone back now, so it's really quiet again round my house. May I ask ya how old you are and what you are studying??? 'cos I'm really nosey.

Chat soon.
Miz.

20, Urban Planning, and I'm good enough under the circumstances. =p

Hiya, howz things with you this week??? OK I get
you're not into terrorists neither am I, We just got 4 back here from Cuba today the best thing the soldiers who captured them in Afganistan ect. could have done was to shoot 'em where they stood and saved all tax-payers in both our countries money to keep 'em, what do ya think???
Howz your studies going???
Miz xxx

I'd like to see trials first, thank you very much. Not to mention I'd like to see US troops in Afghanistan actually abide by Geneva conventions. Most of all, before we go on any more wild witch hunts, I'd like to see the results of the 9/11 commission and why we haven't actually STOPPED anybody from wanting to attack my city.

My view on terrorists is that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, and right now my president select views ME as a terrorist.

My studies are on hiatus this year because I ended up one of 40% of American college students that end up clinically depressed, mostly pertaining to the fact that tertiary education here is prohibitively expensive.

Yes, I'm a bit touchy on the issue. =p
