Oh god, the bus stop…. When I was in junior high, I had to wait in the dark for the bus with all of the stoners. Those kids scared me back then, but in retrospect I realize they were too busy digging around for cigarettes, littering, and discussing the best place to hide one’s stash, to notice me.

But your post brings up an important point - one day when I do finally buy a real grown up house, I will make sure it’s not located next to, across from, or otherwise near a school bus stop.

When you mentioned the kids making fun of you I imagined a little kid with brown paper bag on his head and thought “Well sure, a kid with a bag on his head is going to have a rough time of it.”

My bus stop was often so cold you had to show up exactly on time. We’re talking 20 below or colder. That was miserable.

This was, indeed, a touching story. Of course, it would have been better if you’d included the part where you honked while adding them to your hood ornament collection — shortest to tallest.

Some of the university students at the end of my street have taped a makeshift, cardboard sign on a telephone pole. It reads: YOU HONK, WE DRINK.

I didn’t hear much honking, but I did see a lot of drinking.

I’m impressed that they lined up from tallest to shortest… How could you not look at such a synchronized group of individuals and NOT honk your horn?

This tit-bit reminded me of all the people from my childhood. Specifically those, of who I have compiled a list, that I have not yet forcibly sodomized with an Air Jordan tennis shoe in a public setting.

Yes. When the revoltion comes, they’ll all get a shoe in the ass. I like to think I’ve much more flair than, say, your average run-of-the-mill Charles Whitman.

But enough about me.
