Good. Now let's bring back the non-Richmond Centre commuter buses.

You're just saying that because they're Indian.

Duh.

It definitely helps. I've seen it in action here and it simply works. Also, the convenience of the cards encourages people to use the system as well; it's amazing how people don't think twice about using transit because of the card's convenience. It's the perception that it's convenient and you never have to worry about having enough money to ride (until you have to recharge the card... and even then, it's not a big deal).

Orrrr... you can have what has happened here -- the card replacing all other forms of payment (except cash).

Gimme a break. I've been up since 5am due to the hockey game.

Oilers suck. Edit: I hope y'all for the reference.

I donated it to charity.

Nitro: That's the EXACT same type of system that's here in Seoul. (The only differences are the name and currency, obviously.) Including the vending machines and convenience stores, and chips embedded in cell phones and such.

I honestly don't get the backlash against smart cards in Vancouver. Before my family left Hong Kong, my dad worked for the MTR (Hong Kong's subway system) and one of his assignments was the ticketing system and machines. Even back then, Hong Kong had a system similar to smart cards (except it used magnetic cards) -- and my family came to Canada in 1992! So basically, Vancouver's playing catch-up to a system that was implemented in Hong Kong already 17 years ago. That's kind of... sad.

That group is awesome. I'm actually postponing dinner right now just to read it.

From Facebook: Girl 1: So how are they different? Girl 2: Well, let's just say my ex is a C20 and my current bf is a 99-B-line

Guys... suppositories aren't really so bad once you get used to them...

I was busy at work all day, but I forgot to gloat about the Ducks' win. Neener neener neener.

Wanna join in? Nothing like making love with an Impaler on standby. We were talking about blowing, all right.

Peas taste good.

I'll blow its f8cking head off!!!!!!111

Would you rather be in Edmonton?

I wish there was some snow here, actually. It's so FREAKING DRY. My new humidifier ate up 2 liters of water this afternoon/evening and things still feel static-ey. And I even shower with the door open so the steam would enter the room! We need some percipitation.

Looks more like Zombie Pea.

Shut up and kiss me.

Who are you calling an idiom?! YOU'RE an idiom!

Language? Hablo espanol, madre.

We're getting into race now? Racist.
