Geeezzzzzz........ you mean the guy doesn't like to sit in spilled coke and peanut butter and jelly and boogers? Why ride the bus then?
Posted by: Mad Soapboxer | January 31, 2006 at 05:01 PM
Locks himself to the bus by the neck, brandishes a petition, rides away on his bike, and the driver is in trouble? Hm.
Posted by: John | January 31, 2006 at 05:05 PM
Oh, wait, I get it, he has a SPECIFIC seat where HE spilled the coke and peanut butter and jelly and boogers and wants to sit in it every day. Reminiscent of the movie "As Good As It Gets"...
The article failed to mention if the fool was removed from the front of the bus before it departed or whether he was allowed to serve as a hood ornament...
Posted by: Mad Soapboxer | January 31, 2006 at 05:07 PM
Sounds like a fraternity hazing rite.
Posted by: Brainy Jello | January 31, 2006 at 05:07 PM
Mad - Apparently the driver went with the hood ornament option: Berg said Ray has alleged that the driver operated the bus before Ray could unlock himself. Pending further investigation, the driver could be charged with menacing.

Icouldn't find 24, but I found a great flick on the adult channel, '25'. Highly recommend.

"menacing"? it's not the bus driver that was "brandishing" a petition
besides - any idiot who chains himself to the front of a bus should consider the possbility that the bus driver might have the balls to actually drive away while he is still chained to the bus

I think its cool that the good people of Telluride name each other when being arrested.
"Can you name the perpatrator sir."
"It was Frank"
"The farmer with the mole, or the glass cutter."
"No the one who ran for govenor. Who do you think."
"Right, I always thought the glass cutter was screwy."

Galloping Goose - tee-hee

Jack Bauer would have shot
the lock off his neck,
then poke him in the eye
for good measure.

Me, too, MOTW

Maybe it was all a big misunderstanding. Personally, I can't tell you the number of times I've accidentally attached myself to things with a U-lock (busses, parking meters, mounted police officers, etc.).
Well, I could tell you, but it would be embarrassing.
Posted by: Chianca at Large | January 31, 2006 at 05:46 PM
This is one of many reasons I refuse to ride the bus. Norwood I Teluride either!

WHOO HOO _ I got the trifecta - A First Post - credit on a story AND an all caps *SNORK*!!
My day is complete!
Posted by: CoastRaven | January 31, 2006 at 05:57 PM
Perhaps what Ray really needs is the short bus.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | January 31, 2006 at 06:13 PM
Maybe Ray is really Cody the Hippie in disguise?
Posted by: CandyT | January 31, 2006 at 06:16 PM
CoastR - I guess a trifecta is scoring 3 different things and a hat trick is 3 of a kind?
Posted by: pogo | January 31, 2006 at 06:19 PM
Don't nitpick, pogo - CoastRaven is the Star of The Day!!!

It's up to YOU.

Off topic (kinda),
Here's an MSM report on Dave's visit to Berkeley in the SF Chronicle.
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/01/31/BAGMIH06GL1.DTL
Mostly good, and he mentions the blog, although he (the SFC guy) refers to something called "A Fine Name for a Rock Band", whatever that is...
Posted by: Lairbo | January 31, 2006 at 06:48 PM
Lairbo - "A Fine Name.." is upsetting. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2006 at 06:59 PM
slightly way off topic - anyone catch Craig Ferrrrguson on the Late Show last night? Incredible.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2006 at 07:01 PM
*hug for pogo* :)
Posted by: Eleanor | January 31, 2006 at 07:15 PM
Galloping Goose? Did you ever see a goose gallop? Not a pretty site indeed. They seem to have bowel problems. Not good.
Posted by: Blue Funk's Bad News | January 31, 2006 at 07:20 PM
Blue - plus they're meaner than a junk-yard duck. If they're galloping in your direction, your goose is cooked.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2006 at 07:34 PM
Lairbo--I really enjoyed that article! Thanks for posting!!
Posted by: Tjaithne | January 31, 2006 at 08:03 PM
Annie, yes, I watched Craig last night. His monologue at least. Very touching.
Posted by: slyeyes | January 31, 2006 at 08:11 PM
Jeff's loincloth got mentioned in the story!! (the one Lairbo linked to)
Posted by: slyeyes | January 31, 2006 at 08:15 PM
geez, "Galloping Goose" was my CB handle when I was a kid.
No, really!
I haven't heard it used elsewhere for like, ever.
Posted by: Dave (not Galloping Goose Barry) | January 31, 2006 at 08:37 PM
I don't know if this is the time to ask, but do geese really gallop?
Posted by: slyeyes | January 31, 2006 at 08:38 PM
AWBH,
"meaner than a junkyard duck"
big snork!
Posted by: Lairbo | January 31, 2006 at 08:51 PM
Hey Punkin,
That's MYYYY theme song.
You owe me a nickel!
(Boomtown is a dime)
Posted by: Dave Maynard | January 31, 2006 at 09:03 PM
slyeyes - geese waddle. Polls gallop.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2006 at 10:11 PM
Geese don't gallop, or waddle. They are pacers ... according to Jessamyn West.
Posted by: U.O | February 01, 2006 at 01:16 AM
geese fly. i'm not getting why they need a bus.
Posted by: crossgirl | February 01, 2006 at 08:24 AM
Great article, Lairbo! Thanks.

"Galloping Goose" WBAGNFARB, but I think it's actually a reference to "Brokeback Mountain".
BTW Coast, congrats on your trifecta. I got the "daily double", 2 firsts in one day! What are the odds?
Posted by: Mad Soapboxer | February 01, 2006 at 09:57 AM
Thanx MS - I contemplated retiring after that feat, and going out on top, but y'all are just my kinda odd. I kinda like it here.
Posted by: CoastRaven | February 01, 2006 at 10:57 AM
Coast, our motto here is "don't get even, get odd."

I tried to imagine someone goosing a bus, also wondered why he had to lock himself in to do it.
Reading the article was a letdown. Let me tell, you, I've been reading this blog too long to realize that it was too good to be true.
Posted by: Poop Dogg | February 02, 2006 at 07:50 AM
Someone seems to have locked me to the Geezer bus. Is that the same sort of thing?
