Oh, you trolls…

Who only make appearances on my LIRR posts… Don’t think I can’t check your IP.

Latest poetic genius from the LIRR folks

Cell Phone Courtesy Matters

There once was a couple who lived in a shoe -
Had so many devices, they knew not what to do.
‘Blackberried’ n ‘cellphoned’… with an iPod too
They rode the Railroad, and sat next to you.
As most of us know, they had kids in that shoe.
They called each and then, talked themselves blue.
As you sat and listened, one thought came through…
Regarding ‘Train Manners’ – they hadn’t a clue.
With their voices too loud, everyone knews
More than they wanted about the whole crew.
What’s more their phones rang (vibrating’s too new)
With tones that all of you soon grew to rue.
They’re a nice couple, so no one will sue
But all wish they’d speak softly, that much is true.
Cell phones and manners, in our humble view
Will work for all who hew to our cue.

They really made use of the rhyming dictionary, don’t you think? Pity that 99% of people on the train don’t know how to follow this. But then they get pissed off at other people. Weirdos.

CNN goof

Tsk.

Two of the worst sensations in the world

1) A “sweating” toilet bowl on a sweltering humid day of summer on the backs of your legs. God forbid you’re wearing pants — you’ll have the unsightly damp spots on the backs of your legs for at least another hour.

2) A freezing cold toilet seat on a chilly day in winter. Suddenly, your warmest bits are now your chilliest. Internal chill anyone?

And all of this happening while you’re trying to do your business.

Your seat’s on your seat,
His? … in the air.
He can’t sit down
Cause your bags are there.
So let’s do this –
Let’s be fair.
One seat for each person
Who’s paid their fare.
And since we are ‘talking’
Bout seating and such
No feets on the seats!
Is that asking too much?
Trains can get crosded,
With seats hard to find.
When you occupy yours,
Please keep that in mind.

Aw, how cute. They made a rhyming poem.

Technologic

I will never cease to like this song. I can listen to it for days on end.

Gotta love you some Daft Punk.

The Incredible Missing Headline

CNN’s done it again. I usually get my news through the most viewed stories… and #8 just looks so intriguing, I couldn’t resist.

Psst. The missing headline actually leads to more info on the Brazil crash.

Vegansexuals

Vegans won’t have sex with meat-eaters.

The best quote: “I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance.”

HipDisk

Is not really all that hip looking. Great moves there.

So I’m browsing through CNN’s top stories

…as part of my daily routine, and I wanted to see other’s comments on the CNN/YouTube debates last night.

I come across top story #7 – S.C. black voters like choices… I might as well read it, since I read every top story and headline anyway. Or at least skim it… and so I come across this little gem.

Oh, man… gems like this always get me… especially from the major news bureaus. Sure, I realize that journalists are busy people and that there are loads and loads of editors, proofreaders, and copy editors all over the place that are supposed to look over these things before they go live (and things called spell check as well) and people are only human. Humans are fallible.

But really, Sasha Johnson, misspelling the name of a U.S. state? tsk.

I wonder how long it will take them to notice the typo?

EDIT: Approximately 45 minutes after I posted this, CNN has kindly corrected its little typo. At least I’ve forever immortalized the goof in this post. Go CNN editors!
