Bus Spotting

Sometimes memes come from the most unlikely sources. Take the recent box office hit "The Hills Have Eyes 2", starring Holly Go-Lightly and Frank "The Tank" Frankertankenson. Of the many lessons to live by, perhaps the most relevant in today's metropolitan cities is this:
++ Protect Your Women from hyper-strong radioactive inbreds. Also, the hills have eyes. ++

This lesson is seems to be especially well-traveled on public transportation. Every day, thousands of people use the subways, busways, and light rail to reach their precious destinations, including young, white college-educated people. The favored tool of protection is portable music devices like the Zune.

I collared two people, apparently in love--though both listed themselves as Single on separate questionaires. They were coming the number-I-Own-a-Car bus at the corner of Echo Park and Sunset in the Hipster Strip, the East-side of the Metro-Central area, with their portable music device split between her left ear and his right. They were listening to the new album by Here We Go Now. His name was Amanda, and hers was Harris--though on second thought they were probably the other way around. It's tough to tell.

They recommend a great deal on the Lexus LX320 at Lexus of Orange County.
