I'm Enjoying the Budget Cuts Already!

This is how the people at my local subway stop express unhappiness about the trains running less frequently.




Because Your Mother Sucks Cocks in Hell is a totally appropriate response to "trains run less frequently".

Uh, yeah! That is totally a legit response. lol. Have you ever tried to catch the uptown 1 from 59th? You wait FOREVER. I can't even imagine how long it'll take now

I can't believe you reacted so badly to the trains running less frequently. You can't go through life attacking anything you don't like with a marker...

;)

I find the "I gotta horse" comment amusing.

Too funny!! Doesn't make much sense! Kinda like here they run less on the weekends when we are all out doing our errands and don't want to wait.

Why does it say "Mon to Fri (service change ends on Thurs)"? I'm confused. And how does the horse fit through the turnstiles?

When our sad little Detroit public transportation system, The People Mover (no, seriously), announced last fall that it would be running in the opposite direction, a homeless man stood outside my building for a week screaming, "That gonna make me fuckin' vomit. That gonna make me FUCKIN' VOMIT."

After a few days, I kind of just wanted him to go suck cocks in hell.

Yes, that totally makes sense.

Fewer trains = blowjobs in hell

God, my mother wouldn't suck cocks in hell, that I know for sure. They don't let you wear white gloves in hell,right?

I would so totally write something like this. I so would.

re: the "your mother sucks cocks in hell" comment. i believe the author was attempting to employ a cinematic reference to 'the exorcist,' where that phrase was spoken by the devil, (through the body of linda blair, voice of mercedes mc cambridge). with this literary device, i contend our subway scribe meant to insinuate that the engineers of the new timetable were satanic. although sadly, the commenter gets it backwards because the words were spoken to a priest, who was portrayed as a force of good in the film.

or maybe the penman was just some drunk.

Jon--I can't tell you how long I stood there staring at that sign trying to figure out why the sign says "Service Changes End on Thurs" (as I stood there trying to figure it out, my train came and went, of course). The explanation that I came up with is that December 31st is a Thursday, so the MTA wanted to explain that even though it's effective Mon-Fri, since Dec. 31st is a Thursday, it the service change will end then. I'm too scared to check if Dec 31st is, in fact a Thursday, because if it's not, I may suffer a mental collapse. Another one.

I SO wanna move to your city! I LOVE New York! Of course, I'd probably be pissed off enough about the subway not running as much as I need it to and would've written something a little less vulgar...maybe

New Yorkers have anger issues.

Where do you keep a horse in NYC, other than the creepy horse cops in Central Park, I mean.

I may be wrong, but were those exclamation points transformed into happy, grinning faces?

Also, I've heard this a lot from various sources, but once women become mothers, they tend to stop that particular sucking. I could be wrong, though.

Don't worry - that guy's got a horse. He probably won't even be on the subway anymore.

Whose mother, because I have a friend who works at the MTA and his mother is quite nice and old fashioned. I bet she doesn't suck cocks anywhere.

Marinka, you take the subway?

But on movies all New Yorkers take yellow cabs. Unless they are very poor, degenerate, are escaping from the police or want to plant a bomb. Or dead.

(And don't tell me none of the above apply. I don't want yet another of my In-America-The-Streets-are-Paved-With Gold assumptions ruined. Counting on you! Thanks!).
