paullus Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 My wife was taking the metro back from work yesterday and noticed someone (a guy - no description) playing CM on their laptop. Anyone here might fit that description? Just goes to show you how small a world we live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Oberst Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 Haven't played it on the DC metro yet, but yes on the US Airways shuttle to NY and other points north, as well as a "drained both my batteries" on an East coast-West coast flight. ------------------ To the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee...

Guest wwb_99 Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 Well, it was not me. I would if I could but I can't get them to give me a laptop with the umph to do the job.

Lawyer Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 The Lawyer? On a filthy plebian Metro car?? Enduring the stains, pains, and odors of the local populace??? Surely you gits jest! May God, in His everlasting mercy, NEVER let me join the "throngs with thongs" who populate the netherworld of the DC Metro. On the other hand (sit down Joe Blow), one can experience the close, occasionally gratifying "feel" of the crowded communal commuting citizens for only $2 or so each way. A real deal, and reason enough for the Prudes in Salt Lake Cesspool to get their very own thrill machines. No, I need a version of CM that I can play in my limousine (self-chauffered, unfortunately) as I sit in traffic for two hours each day. Life as the Lawyer defending the weak and poor in Washington is very hard indeed. Thank you for commiserating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the thrill machines, ours do not, granted descend beneath the surface of the earth nor do our stops have picturesque names such as "Foggy Bottom" (sit Down ... oh Bauhaus is on vacation, so ... uh ... sit down Mace) but the famed Utah Transit Authority has recently begun service on our own rapid transit light rail service. This service provides that same "communal" sense as you mentioned. Joe ------------------ I HAVE LOST A BLOOD HAMSTER TO PETERNZ. MY SIG FILE IS HIS.

This service provides that same "communal" sense as you mentioned. Joe I suspect, Joe Joe, that if you take your Mormon-O-Meter with you on said Utah rail transit, you will find very few of Mr. Young's true followers on board. "Mormon Class" being distinctly higher than "First Class" (just ask the Marriott's), one should expect to find the chosen comfortably ensconced in their automotive chariots of fire. Individually powered, separated from the unwashed, the "Prudes" may safely avoid the "Rudes" who ride mass transit. Unfortunately, moving one's buttocks or loins from side to side in the bucket seats of an Eddie Bauer model cannot replicate the thrill of human (or humanoid) bodily response from a complete stranger standing next to you. (Although when done correctly and with gusto, it can make your idividual journey just a bit more "satisfying".) See the USA as you spray away... Verily, Joe, I bid you come to the Nation's Capital. Having viewed that collection of innocent pixels condemned to carry your personal visiage on the internet till enternity, I can assure you of at least one Special Life Moment where you become One of the Beautiful People. Just stand on the Washington Mall and gaze upon the endomorphic bodies possessed by the multitudes of your fellow citizens who come in the Spring and Summer to display their persons rather completely to the public, as is their Constitutional right. Let the people assemble in all their glory, but avert your eyes if you have not the intestinal fortitude to view uncensored the Progeny of Democracy. Straining spandex and flowing tank tops shall reveal the true shapes and hairiness of this esteemed Republic and all it stands for. No doubt that it would bring tears to the eyes of the Founding Fathers to see what they hath wrought. Truly, the sight of it will make the Peng thread look beautiful to you in comparison. Now, get back to where you once belonged. [This message has been edited by Lawyer (edited 03-28-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B [This message has been edited by SybotCB (edited 03-28-2001).] Actually, it's been reported that Bush is quite the PC game fanatic (plays them everyday at lunch). Hehe...I could easily picture Bush giggling madly as he sent off his latest PBEM. Al Bore, on the other, hand would endlessly debate and exaggerate minor inconsistencies in the game: "The armor on the Panther was only vulnerable to Tungsten rounds on the uppermost 1% of the glacis" "That movie can't be right. I demand that it be reprocessed!"

GriffinCheng+ Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 I don't think US Presidents work with computers -- may be that wannabe Al Gore? I played CM occationally on my ferry trip home, even the whole trip takes no longer than 45mins.

Mace Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 I can categorically state it wasn't me on the DC Metro! However, if you happen to be upon the Bacchus-Marsh/Melbourne V-Line service, you may be fortunate to catch me (sleeping). By the way, Mr Shaw, I am sitting down, however your concern about my well being is much appreciated! Mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
