Bus Trip
Thursday, September 6th, 2007 at 11:45 amThe other morning while listening to my recently-spared Eduardo on the bus, I overheard through the playful boy/girl pop of Imperial Teen the driver making an announcement for the next stop. His vocal intonations were very unique, but all I could hear through the headphones was:
Momin mop Nomamo Mumavarm and Maynom.
Thinking it was trying to hear him through the music, I took off my headphones before my stop just to hear his voice at which point he leaned into the microphone and said:
Momin mop Nomamo Mumavarm and Amalmena.
I put my headphones back on and switched to disco-era Bee Gees. At least I can understand every fifth word of Barry Gibb’s falsetto.

Listening to: “Finally Forever” - Chris Cornell

Let me hear it now….”Barry, Bar-ry….Bar-ry!!” (Gibb, not Manilow, in this case………)

who was the bus driver, Charlie Brown’s teacher?

Lewis: Mr. Manilow is quite articulate especially when he is singing, “Jump/Shout/Knock yourself out/The boogie-woogie rhythm is what I’m taking about/You can pull the switch-a-roony ’til your pants fall down”. Best lyric ever.
Daveman: You’re hired!
Chris: Ha! That’s exactly what Cameron said when I told him the story.

Any time I take the 0 down Broadway, the driver might as well not even say anything because the microphone is so bad, it just sounds like weird alien noises coming over the PA.

Did you know that the drivers on RTD buses are required to announce all major intersections and that there is a tattle-tell phone number to call if they don’t? That sign made me giggle.

Maybe you can add loss of hearing (along with the prostate) to your new 40 woes? :P

And customer requested stops!
They never stop where I tell them to.

Steve: sorry, what?
BD: Oh, yeah. That, too.

Do you like that Chris Cornell CD? I found it very disappointing. Other than the Bond soundtrack song, all the songs are pretty lame.

No, not impressed at all. I didn’t like his first solo album either.
