Mamemaster works in NYC. I'll bet he's hitchhiking. He just doens't have that slacker call in sick spirit. ;)

Maybe you need to Unionize then.

the twu(transit workers union) would be fined...asfaik...could be the larger nationwide transport union, but they said they never authorized the twu to strike.
edit: just in, its a 1 million a day fine

Most intelligent MC post I have seen in ages. Maybe you should put them on your arms, put ypur arms behind your back and have someone tie them into a knot. Would keep you out of trouble.

Nahh, then I'd need to shave 60 points off of my I.Q. score (2 or 3 solid blows with a ball-peen oughta do it) and develop a Borg-like mentality.
Too painful.
Been there, done that (union, not the ball-peen) and had pretty much none of the above frills anyway. The only people that really made out were the ones I paid dues to every week.

Everything causes gas prices to go up. This morning I left my gloves at home. Unleaded went up by two cents per gallon.

The time has come for the proletariat to rise up and cast off the shackles placed on us by our capitalist oppressors! We must uni... Wait, is that the door?
