Paying for the London Underground with a dissolved, naked Oyster card
May 5, 2008 7:13am
I've been able to ride Heathrow Express for "free" with an Oyster card before (still don't know why, but hey, it's a "free" ride). I wonder how the agents would deal with a bunch of wires attached to a chip.

That there is an official committee to authenticate pint glass volume is an interesting glimpse into the Rube-Goldberg-esque workings of European bureaucracy, in and of itself.

#24 - Mellowknees: 'Fresa' is a Mexican-origin pejorative term for someone who thinks s/he's too good to do things that are traditionally associated with "the people."
Yes, it also means 'strawberry', but this is obviously not the use they're going for (it's not a noun, for starters).

Well, not strictly "posh." 'Fresa' is a lot more pejorative. The sign makes some sense, I guess. The pompous bunny gets gutted.

Oof. I wonder how you suddenly become convinced that your penis is shrinking.
