Silver Line: You pays your money and you takes your chances
By adamg on Sat, 03/03/2007 - 6:22pm
Iron Bowl and company drove to South Station today to hop on the Silver Line to see the USS John F. Kennedy, docked in South Boston, but after they paid their fares, they learned the T had suspended Silver Line service in that direction, because too many people were already trying to get on the ship:
... We could not even get a refund. ...

I'm sorry, what? So
I'm sorry, what? So basically, the T is saying that they can't do their job, which is to move people from one place to another.
Good thing I like walking.
Laura Bush as T Spokesperson
"Many parts of the T are stable now. But, of course, what we see in blogs is the one service failure a day that discourages everybody."
How come there aren't any blogs dedicated to reporting the good things the T is doing? (sarcasm)
you're kidding right?
I don't think you ride the T very much.
Try standing in Cleveland Circle and you will see far more than 1 screw-up a day. People will be dodging the trains rushing into the station because the drivers forget to use their bells, and fathers will be walking their 4 year old daughters into on coming traffic on beacon street because the T operators are too F..King lazy to park the trains properly.
If it were one or two incidents then we wouldn't be wasting our time discussing it.
Context
You are correct. I am kidding. President Bush's wife is not in fact the new T spokesperson. The post was a play on Mrs. Bush's recent quote regarding the media and Iraq that has been all over the news lately.
Sigh. It is so hard to to intone sarcasm on the internet, even when the comment is labled with a parenthetical sarcasm tagged to the statement's end.
hmm
I know your original post was sarcastic because there was this word that said "sarcasm" in parentheses, but I rather like the fact that Charlie On The MBTA takes the time to point out when the T actually does do something right. He may sound surprised that he has something nice to say, but he says it anyway.
Ok, back to the definitions and that Laura Bush thing.
