  1. Bus stop is not a "cool" word. Unless it's a "Bust Stop" joke picture with topless women hanging out at one in the Bits & Pieces section of a late '70s Hustler magazine.
  2. I'll give Jack In the Box a chance when they open here, but it might take a while for me to make it there if they go putting one at Polaris, one in Grove City and one in Hillard as I suspect. When I lived in Cincinnati, the only time I went to West Chester was one afternoon when I was bored on my motorcycle. I only remember warehouses. I don't know if the people that make these decisions know that there's a lot of people that just don't spend much time in these types of places or if they just don't care. Probably both.
  3. Personally, I can't wait for the year 2002 at Oakley Station! Nickelback will blast from every SUV.

    Seems like a lot of bros have tortured souls.

    er, Franklinton.

    I don't remember Old Towne East having the extra Es, but sure enough, it does now. Frnaklinton used to be a separate city which dates from the late 1700s.

    I think it's because it's relatively inexpensive... "only" $90M.
  8. Even the car companies want to see the gasoline taxes rise slowly but significantly because the free market would dictate how well cars with high MPG would sell rather than government regulating fleet MPG. Small cars would become highly profitable rather than being necessary evils in the product line and it would allow the car companies to slowly adapt rather than having deadlines that require expensive R&D.

    No vertical videos in news feeds! If a video comes out vertical just can it. I don't what the content is; it could be tomorrow's winning Powerball numbers and I still won't watch it if it's vertical.

    I'm pretty sure brat kids are seeing all the death they want on the internet. And somehow I get the feeling not that many kids watch Fox News anyway. There's like 600 channels out there. Old media constantly forgets about its sliding relevance.
  11. What a bunch of babies.
  12. This mistyping unleashed the power of my imagination. I'm now picturing warp zones that only fish can pass through. And we don't know about them because we can't communicate with fish.

    We might be seeing the life cycle of a social networking site emerging. It's all fun and games until the lameos show up.
  14. As a guitarist, I have learned to accept that Yngwie Malmsteen and Michael Angelo Batio, while fast and technically proficient, are never going to have broad mainstream appeal. While Nickelback might sell a lot of records nobody takes them seriously. Somewhere in the middle, around Judas Priest and old Metallica, is the happy place.
  15. Why do they need some flashy new logo? What's the old logo gonna do, make me turn my lights off when I'm not home?
  16. Chillicothe is way cooler than WCH if you ask me. I'll also put in a good word for Lancaster and Lebanon.

    They can smell desperation. Literally.

    Hmmm, I didn't really think about it at the time, but when I was in grad school at UC (not architecture) I did have classmates in my program that had vastly different backgrounds than mine. Yeah, there were a few guys from the West Side and a girl from Kentucky that came from average backgrounds, but there were also doctor's kids, a guy who had made millions in real estate, an M.D., some Germans and other wealthy people from overseas in my classes. I don't get to hang around people like that very often now that I've been in the work work a while, I'll tell you that.

    It's that old California mellowness, I guess. They don't let the terrifying fear of being forced to work a crappy job until age 50 and being married to someone they don't like at 25 eat 'em up like we do.
  20. Get this -- for a while there when it first opened, they were trying to tell people that they weren't allowed to walk onto the grounds. That they had to drive even though the Metro station is over there. Luckily that requirement got squashed pretty quickly.
  21. 7 Things You Won't Believe Science Says Make You Happy #3. Riding the Subway The participants were so focused on being stuck next to stinky maniacs that they didn't realize how low-stress public transportation can be -- you're free to read, take a nap or just sit quietly with your own thoughts. When you're driving yourself through rush-hour traffic to work every morning, you pretty much stay tense and agitated for an hour or more, with no chance to relax.

    Word has it all the early Channel One hosts were rich kids. Later on they made an effort to recruit from a variety of backgrounds, but Serena Altschul and Anderson Cooper sure as hell weren't poor either.
  23. Nah, but they always seemed to me like they were one. They're Conference USA.
  24. Probably, unless the statement gets retracted.
