Weird...I just finished reading a James Patterson novel in which someone blows up the 59th Street bridge....

Eerie....

CANNEDPASTA IS TEH WIN!

Pray for Omarion.

what no "I blame Bush" yet?

I would like to thank you all for keeping the Taunton and dam comments flowing. It's the little things.

Ain't ya got no heat for me?

Fark fear mongering? I just say so because an actuall bridge on fire gets "News" while a POSSIBLE terrorist threat gets "News Flash". I know a possible terrorist threat is bad, but worse than an actuall disaster? Cmon people.

I work on the 59th Street Bridge.

So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies.

Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about.

But trust me.... You don't.

I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you dont know what you are talking about.

This is how bad info gets passed around.

If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you do.

i blame bush

cannedpasta: I wouldn't be suprised that Jack Thompson says a guy started it and he trained for hours on an arson simulator of some sort...



/I know he's fighting the fire
//fire has to start somehow...
///the slashes did it

Oh my GOD! I'm glad I left NYC early. What a mess that must be.

Gah, looks like a bunch of PVC pipe is burning too. Thats bad. I hates PVC.

yeah, because talking about a bridge if you don't work there violates every major rule of the internets.

Shame on you people.

shiftless did it.. he threw out that cig butt on his way home and POOF....

/really

It's a society of FEAR!! WOO!

the fire started when someone tossed a roach away....

why doesn't cristo leave NYC alone?

LineNoise. It's the F that stops there. Just to keep the trivia correct. right after 21 st queenbridge is the island stop.

The dam in Taunton looks like it is going to hold.

/just saying

notchit

If you work on that bridge, you may want to lay low and keep quiet.... or at least start looking for a new job.

/knows the cliche...
//yes, it needs to die, except for US mint threads

Looks like you fell for the latest in attempted cliches, man.

notchit: This is how bad info gets passed around.

You mean that bridge isn't made out of old tires and popsicle sticks?

dj4aces: Looks like you fell for the latest in attempted cliches, man.


Maybe. I don't pay attention to the stupid ones, like "your dog wants..." and the ones where people submit a thread for the purpose of making a cliche. And evidently this one has passed me by as well, since I still don't know what the attempted cliche is.

I'm more of a classic cliche person.

/doo dah, doo dah

This reminds me of some Funk and Wagnall song my parents used to listen to.

I didn't start the fire. It was always burnin'. Since the world's been turnin'.

\oh yeah
\\I went there.

Move over Rover
and let Jimi take over
Yeah you know what I'm talking about
Yeah..get on with it baby...

/let me stand

/did, in fact, start the fire
//wouldn't have been so easy if the bridge weren't made of popsicle sticks

Classic cliche

Every day I read these threads, and now I usually just skip over the "I work for" cliche then someone gets burned and I laugh and laugh.

Weak attempt at redemption, saying that your too good for new cliches, old school rules baby. I'm sure that you and Drew are old pals only laughing about stuff that you and him get. And how classic can you be with a 200k+ fark number. I'm 110k and havent been around long at all.

Who's the duke now!!?!??

It's the lampost I tells ya! What he's knowin' is arson.

THAT'S why I'm feelin' groovy

unavailable for comment:

Well that oughta fark midtown traffic for a few hours.

And about the construction.... there's always construction on that thing.

/glad I'm not in traffic, still miss living there.

Can anyone link to the original "I work for.." thread? I just need to see what started it.

It's never a good idea to burn your bridges..............

Our city's bridges can kick your city's bridges ass!

Stick to burning other people's bridges, like I do.

Yes, the subway stop on Roosevelt Island is on the modern F line. But I don't know why anyone would take the subway there, when the Roosevelt Sky Tram (as featured in the Stallone movie Nighthawks, airing every weekend on Channel 11) is so much cooler and now even accepts MetroCard.

I bet the tram has a really good view of the bridge fire right about now.

Actually, better yet, just don't go to Roosevelt Island at all. It's a creepy planned community full of ugly cement architecture and U.N. representatives' families.

Loucifr
I can just hear Rove, Open the Baltimore Tunnel and cue the fire on the 59th street bridge."

Cleanup needed in aisle 5. I just peed my pants.

Man it would be hardcore if someone would make a Feelin Groovy reference.

/Goodbye lamp post

Props to BenitoLupito for the awesome Gatsby reference. I've read the book 4 or 5 times and I didn't pick up on that ;)

suffra
Can anyone link to the original "I work for.." thread? I just need to see what started it.

nah, it doesn't make a difference. They're all stupid. I know this because I work for the Council to Destroy the I Work For Cliche.

So I am really getting a desire to kick the @ss out of most of these people who use it.

Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about, but these guys don't.

And trust me.... You don't.

I think you just want to make yourself sound witty, when in reality you dont even know what you are talking about.

This is road rage gets passed around.

If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you are a stupid asshat.

While I'm not a huge fan of the "I work for" cliche, I do enjoy its bastard stepchild, the "Can anyone link to the original "I work for.." thread?" sub-cliche.

I'm more of a meta-cliche person.

The bridge is over, the bridge is over, biddy-bye-bye!

/A little BDP to lighten the mood.
//Dang, didn't mean it that way.

poot_rootbeer: Actually, better yet, just don't go to Roosevelt Island at all. It's a creepy planned community full of ugly cement architecture and U.N. representatives' families.

In the picture one up from the bottom above, you can see the roof of the really creepy abandoned loony bin on Roosevelt Island.
