Anarchy / Re: Minor things that piss you off« on: June 14, 2006, 04:45:57 PM »Agree with the Pasadena Freeway rant. Screw that horrible, horrible freeway. It is. It's more like an aqueduct than a freeway. And there is no way anyone can merge in at anything approaching speed limit, unless they have some kind of jet assisted engines. But there is NO excuse for anyone merging onto a regular freeway at 30 mph off a quarter-mile on-ramp! I could get up to speed on a friken bicycle. 4627

You're right. I was actually thinking of Flavor Aid. Grape, to be precise.

The Pasadena Freeway was, I believe, the first freeway in the LA area. I haven't driven it in maybe 15 years, and it may have undergone some renovation in that time, but the thing I remember most about it is that the on- and off-ramps are really short. Merging onto the freeway is more like turning right on a red light. Same with exiting. Since the Pasadena Freeway was built, our ideas of what a freeway should be like has evolved. I commute mostly on freeways that have been either built or renovated in the last 5-10 years. There was also a lot of open space where these roads were built, so the lanes are wide, the shoulders capacious, and the on- and off-ramps are long enough for a 747 to take off of.
All this encourages speeding, something I no longer do. As a reformed motorist painfully cognizant of the cost of insurance and the long-term repurcussions of speeding tickets, I habitually keep to the rightmost lane, my cruise control set boldly and daringly at 1 mph above the local speed limit, which is 65 mph in most cases. Less prudent -- or more late -- motorists whizz by me to the left, but I don't let it bother me, as I happily sup my coffee and listen to NPR. What I don't understand, given the mile-long on-ramps prevalent along my route, is why is there always one bozo who doesn't understand what the on-ramp is for and merges in front of me at 40 miles per hour you GODDAM MORON causing me to slow down, thus wasting gas and brakepads, only to speed up after a minute and zoom away at 85 mph? Sheesh! 4632

You can recognize your neighbor, and you can recognise your neighbour, but you should never recognize your neighbour or recognise your neighbor.

Two days ago, the above exchanges with Waldo would've made my branes boil, resulting in a possibly ill-advised torrent of opprobrium.
But after Asterisk's Avalanche of Asininity, I have nothing but fond feelings towards Waldo. What a difference a day makes. 4648

Its' -- posessive case of the posessive case of it as a pronoun.
