If I were forced to ride across Canada on Greyhound I can't say I might not do the same thing.

Then again, if I were forced to endure living in Canada in general I can't say I might not do the same thing. :p

That's pretty f-ed up. I once considered riding Greyhound to pick up a car, until I posed the question on several forums. Basically, I was unanimously told that if I wanted to meet drug dealers and underage prostitutes, that Greyhound was for me. Needless to say I took a plane, no need for underage hookers here.;)

Maybe the guy was snoring....

"Assault knives" should be illegal. Won't someone please think of the children?

A most un-friendly neighbor to the North.

wait, can we get back to the underage prostitutes?

I love this understatement:

"Authorities declined to provide other details of what they described as a "major incident.""

We don't keep knives in our house.

Biodegradable sporks work just fine, thank you.

When I was in high school I rode a greyhound bus from Fla. to NJ. It was without a doubt the most dreadful experience of my life. I finally got off the bus at a rest stop in VA and hitchhiked the rest of the way home rather than endure another moment on that awful bus. I can see someone with a few mental shortcomings being pushed over the edge on one of those busses.

Death by spork doesn't have the same ring to it.

Back in college I had to ride Greyhound once for about 5-6 hours to get to a train station. Not fun. Only made tolerable by virtue of a walkman and a half a bottle of vodka.

Bizarre. But in a sort of strangely attractive way.

It must have taken the RCMP forever to get there by horse.

there's a screenplay there. I'm thinking Coen Brothers...

Holy moly! Bash a guy if you have to, but decapitated? Wife & I rode the Greyhound down to Boise, ID once to pick up a Range Rover- awful ride down, lap of luxury back home. I almost didn't take the wife- Greyhound buses are nasty!

And nobody in a full bus of people helped to try and stop him from repeatedly stabbing the victim huh?

I'm sure some of them videotaped this so they could put it up on YouTube.

I took buses in the 70's a few times while in the USMC. Unbelievable, every time I went to the men's rooom in the terminal, any terminal, some guy always want to show me his "thing".

Yeah. It's a tough life here alright.

Wow, greyhound in Ontario must be different. I used to take the bus all the time when I was in university - home to visit the family, other cities to visit friends, etc. While it was never quite first class, I never met any real weirdos, or felt scared, or anything. Just a bunch of people travelling.

I have ridden in a Greyhound bus once in my life. I was with my parents, I was 8, and I still remember the experience. We arrived at LAX from Europe hours behind schedule and our ride home was gone. So we take a taxi to the Greyhound station and wait for the next bus to Santa Barbara - 3 hours later departing at 1:00 am. My dad assembled our suitcases on the floor of the station into a makeshift bed for me to lie on. All kinds of characters wandering around with piss stains on their pants. The bus was full of whacked out folks and I still remember this very very filthy drunk gal sitting across the aisle offering me a potato chip. I declined before my parents could chime in.

reminded me of my all time favorite ny post headline,http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1217526857.gif

Just bustin'. Canada ain't bad.


If you're a moose.


In August.

My aunt was scared to death of flying so she took Greyhound. That cured her fear of flying :D

5 hours? 10 hours? That's not a Greyhound trip, that's a fun jaunt.

Try 56 hours to Miami, 3 days in the city, then 59 hours back to AZ.

I woulda killed someone too after that. There's 3 types of people on Greyhound...the dead broke, the insane, and the criminals. Often, you get on as one and get off as at least one more.


But, as an aside, after 9/11, Greyhound was claiming that they would not allow weapons on the bus. I have yet to see a single driver even look at the person getting on, much less check them for weapons. If they would be enforcing their own claims, this wouldn't have happened.

Greyhound, the asphalt version of Amtrak.

Quick sea story:

A friend of mine was the Commanding Officer of NAS Key West. After his first few months of putting up with stupid drunk pilot tricks from navy air crews staging out of Key West for aircraft carrier qualification/requal, he decided the best punishment was to send the offenders home on a Greyhound Bus...most to California, Virginia and Washington State:eek:

Word got out.

Genius is often simple.

One of the most famous headlines in journalism next to JFK's assassination, The Axis surrendering and the Titanic sinking.

I took a Greyhound bus from Portland, Oregon To Lincoln Park, Michigan back in 1980 and it was one of the most unpleasant experiences I've ever had. Good thing handguns are outlawed in Canada so people can't kill each other!

I took a bus ride from Oklahoma to Pa once. It was the only time i've ever rode a Greyhound. It was great, as i was sitting next to a cute little cowgirl that had a huge fondness of giving handjobs to strangers. She didn't get off until pittsburgh.

Absolute truth, i swear on Pazazu's eyes. :)

that's all...... LOL

I would like to re-stress that the above incident is a true story. :D

Yup. Real men use large hunting knives.

That sounds a lot like British Airways. When they pass out the blankets at night, the whole plane starts to shake like a magic-finger bed.

OK, that's impressive. :)

Did "she" mention the part where "she" used to be named "Tim"?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Make fun if you want, but this is a true story, she was quite cute. It's not cool trying to ruin another dude's penthouse write in moments man. We each only get but a few. :)

Just messin'. I certainly wouldn't have turned that down either. In my single days anyway.

In other news, at least now we all know why bus floors are so sticky.

LOL, yep. :-P

This was a long time ago, back around 90. God i miss my youthful transgressions.
