"It just stopped," said Milan Milosevic, 39, from Vancouver, B.C.

Any relation to Slobodan Milosevic?

They're too hip for the trendy 'operational monorail'. It's a statement, man.

I hold you personally responsible, and together with the citizenry of North Haverbrook, I will run you to ground.

That'll teach them to ride the SLUT next time...

I predict the monorail cars will suffer the same fate as the bubbleator: turned into a greenhouse for a private mansion's backyard garden.

If only Captain Puget was still around...

Imagine what would of happened if they got money to expand the track system.

/Still enjoyed pics of the tow truck towing the train from street level after they crashed.

Monoraaaaaail.

Only in Seattle could two monorails going in opposite directions on separate tracks RUN INTO EACH OTHER.

I live near a monorail. The monorail station is next to another train station that has 10 platforms. The monorail near me doesn't have problems like this. It's called the Shonan Monorail, and it's in Japan. Yay.

Dammit! - came here to make SLUT cracks, and you beat me too it. I rode the purple SLUT last week. Uneventful.

Superjew: I predict the monorail cars will suffer the same fate as the bubbleator

I had a similar thought. I wonder if I could get one for my front yard...

Is there a chance the track would... oh, never mind, the timing's all wrong now.

/Here, have the whole damn thing (new window)

I came here to say this. I'm not even the 2nd person.

Faux Shizzle 2008-08-23 10:51:37 PM  
Is the Escalator to nowhere still safe to ride?

 
Born to Die 2008-08-23 10:52:21 PM  
Maybe someone asked a riddle it couldn't answer.

"Why did the dead baby cross the road?"

/not even CLOSE to obscure.

You know, if you twist the knife as you stick it in, it creates a whole lot more internal damage.

No, this is more of a Shelbyville thing.

True or false: you can get mono from riding a monorail.

 
Deathfrogg 2008-08-23 10:55:44 PM  
Having ridden the monorail here a thousand times, its really not worth the trip unless you need it. Its an obsolete design, and they whole thing has gotten rather rickety and old. Its fun when you have to go that mile or so into downtown, the Seattle Center parking is open 24 hours and you can get to the westlake mall in about 10 minuites.

If the folks here were smart (s-m-r-t) The would run it to south downtown area, maybe all the way to Michigan St. That area is still almost totally unserved by Metro (the busses) when it relates to direct routes through downtown to the north city area around lake Union or even north to Shoreline.

What is a half an hour in my car is 2-1/2 on a bus, each way. I get up at 4 AM as it is. Its only 20 miles for chrissake.

Seattle mass transit system is a joke.

Marge: [at the town meeting] Ooh, it looks like everyone in Springfield Fark showed up for this.

Snake: Could this town be any stupider?
