pseydtonne: Behold the Operator, speaking into a 1930s headset with its large mouthpiece. (prompt)
Here are all the subway-based transit systems I have used, in the order I first rode each one. I've stared at Baltimore's but never bought a ticket, so I can't count that:

Thanks to b3co.com and its source.

There are other transit systems, but I may have to dig to get their logos. These guys included light rail in cities that have both formats but not cities which only have light rail. I've been on the streetcars of Montpellier, Nottingham and Camden to Trenton (which is actually a very beautiful line). I saw the trams in Le Mans but I didn't have the chance to ride them.

Anyone else have an interesting stack? I know [livejournal.com profile] quem98 has been on the interesting Eastern European ones.

I had to share this link my roommate sent me: When Tight Trousered Vikings Roamed the Countryside!

Aye, the horrors of life during ABBA but before Roxette, let alone Whale. Pick your favorite and let us all know why.

My roomie gave a special mention to the first band: "Did you know The Goodies kept inbreeding until the three of them gave birth to the five Baracudaz? It's true. Just look at how each of them is at least 5/8 Tim Brooke-Taylor, 3/8 Bill Oddie, and 7/8 Graeme Garden."

I suspect Tickies and Teddy Boys used to do battle every weekend in the fields of Sweden. They'd leave entire townships in their wake and tailors scrambling to import enough polyester to replace torn outfits.

In contrast, Hux-Flux had it right: keep it calm and focus on the collars. They also give props to the other bands on the page, as if to appease the Ghost of Hipster References Future.

  1. What do you think should happen to Secretary Paulson when Obama takes office? Obviously he's out of that job. I think more needs to happen -- like a Federal inquiry about his real goals with $700 billion. His name is not Robert Paulson: I'd even argue he's the anti-Bob.
  2. This is a horrible thought but I have to express it. Perhaps the passage of Prop Eight in California, as scummy as that is, was necessary to galvanize the national debate about gay marriage. When red states vote against gay marriage, it's no shock. When California came out against it, it became an alarm clock.
Okay, discuss.
