here in baltimore, on sundays, every third block or so has a newspaper vendor that stands at the traffic light and sells newspapers. people will slam on brakes at a green light to buy a newspaper, oblivious to how many cars are behind them traveling 40-50 mph. And, the paper's not worth that anymore... This, however, was my favorite thing about Baltimore: How people will hitch rides with other non-cabbies and signal that they want a ride by standing on the roadside, arm extended, and motion with their hand, as if they were tapping on a telegraph... It tugs at my heart, whenever I'm back in town. yo you hackin'? | |

we still have those here, for our juice boxes [Edited 8/13/09 18:23pm] has there been any foul play? | |

People in Vancouver have a hard time figuring out how to get off of a bus for some reason. The back doors have big yellow signs saying "PRESS HERE TO OPEN". But every single time I'm on the bus (and that's several times a day as I don't drive) at least one yahoo decides it will be much more effective to stand in front of the exit doors and yell "Back door!" as loud as they can and not touch the door at all. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

& the only thing I can think of is the sideshow (which probably happens in more cities than I know). It's been going on since I was little, the area changes but the activity is the same. People gather on a certain block/parking lot/intersection, burn up their tires speeding in circles, hang out the windows of the car, play loud music, & completely disrupt the neighborhood. I went to one when I was in my early teens, had no business out there w/ those fools. I never did understand the concept of fucking up your tires just to show off | |

When it's sunny they complain that it doesn't rain
and When it rains they wish it could be sunny I hate it when people drive slowly in the right (express) lane I especially loath it when people fart it public and look around like ‘ um that wasn't me so I wonder who it was’ | |

That's funny. I bet this does happen in many places, but it always has impressed me primarily as a California thing. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Yeah, New Jersey drivers didn't get that memo either. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

I seem to notice people using it, not to indicate where they plan to go, but rather to indicate where they are already halfway to being My Legacy
