It's interesting seeing all you guys talk about being given a car as no big deal. But, like I said, I suppose if I grew up in the 'burbs, I would understand that 'if you don't have a car, you might as well be dead because you can't go anywhere' phenomenon. Hell, it might be a gift more for yourself than your kid since it gives you the freedom to not drive them places.

And you claimed you don't understand why it's a good thing to give your kid a hand-me-down vehicle. Bottom line is, in the suburbs, once your oldest turns 16, one of the two cars becomes theirs. If you don't buy a new nice one for Mom because she's always had the shit car you're buying a cheap one to get your own ass to and from the train station during the week and to the golf course or Home Depot weekends.

Huh, I thought you were Anglican, so I assumed you sent your kids to a semi-private school.
It was a Jesuit school, so I was already three quarters of the way through the Reformation anyway. When I found out that the Episcopalians drank better scotch, that was the final push I needed, being a natural snob.

They have. They call it Texas.

Try waiting for a bus on Sunday where I live. You will be waiting until Monday.

But it's already Monday. Are you saying I missed this week's bus already?

I have done some pretty stupid shit in subways and on subway cars, including riding on the door frames and jumping off before it got too fast, jumping between cars if the train doors had closed on a train I missed, jumping on the tracks to retrieve shit. I never subway surfed. I was stupid, but not that fucking stupid.

I wish you hadn't posted this. It doesn't sound that stupid, and I fear I will be tempted the next time I am running late and just miss the doors.

Unless you are 17 years old, no you won't. It is incredibly stupid.

I send my kids to public school in the same damn county as Atticus and he still judges me. I do not ever anticipate putting my kids in private school, as I am cheap. Plus the grading curve is better at our public schools. Like Hank's district, I would wager that most of the parents are at minimum college-educmucated, if not grad school. I would also point out that despite having every opportunity to excel, most of the kids at this school don't seem very smart, and their parents sure seem to spend a lot of energy on their organic/gluten free, diets than their brains. Those would be the white people, if I'm being honest. The Asian and Indian parents beat their kids, and it shows in their math scores. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.

I have to imagine there'd be far more drunks to remove before you could get down to any real business.

I'm not a germophobe, but I'd only get naked on the El for someone of Rebecca De Mornay's caliber. Do you think his bare ass cheeks are on the seat? Or did she just pull it out through the jeans?

Some of my friends (and I use that term loosely) would just kick in the door to a non-occupied conductor's room (there is one on each train car) and fuck the sluttier catholic school girls in there, but I wasn't ballin' like that, back then (or ever).
