Scenes from A Daily Dash to Downtown. The Bus Bench is victorious against Blogging.LA. The 10 wins!!!

Amidst a throng of unsuspecting commuters merely returning home after a day working in Santa Monica was a silent albeit overly melodramatic blogging bastard, whose desire to turn a regular bus ride into a remarkable event, well, was probably annoying.

In any event, it took approximately 40 minutes for the Big Blue Bus #10 to get from Yale and Santa Monica Blvd to Olive and 7th. (Starting time was 5:10 p.m. at Santa Monica and 3rd Street). The MTA 439 line took 59 minutes, most likely owing to its street travel at the outset and then the heavy Freeway congestion as it trailed the BBB #10.

Having started earlier as well as arriving first, I elected to take a victory lap on the DASH, but failed to see that I got on the wrong one. By the time I looked up from my camera several minutes later, I realised I was on First Street. It was the final DASH of the evening, and as such I had to walk all the way back to Clifton's where Will was graciously awaiting my return from the not-so-clever bit of boasting I had hoped to have recorded photographically.

Here are some hardly dramatic still photos from the somnambulistic race of the rush hour buses:

editor edit--the gloating title was added by browne, because i'm a little bit of an asshole, a cute asshole, but still an asshole.

Next challenge if you were at Paramount Studio and you wanted to get to Pershing Square for drinks at the Biltmore Gallery Bar. Bus all of the way or a combination bike to the Red Line station. Challengers line up for your ass kicking.

hey Bus Tard...congrats once again on the victory. Was hopping the 439 to win, but such is life. I really liked the concept...whoe thought of it first, you or Will?

[Will Campbell]

Congrats BusTard on a race well run (or at least well bused). Your "victory lap" could've gone better -- and quicker! -- but it was great meeting you and getting a chance to chat.

[Will Campbell]

@Rogedog: I believe it was BusTard who originally floated the idea of a challenge.

And @ Browne: Your gloating headline makes me even more disappointed that we weren't graced with your gloating presence at the finish line last night. Oh yeah and: fuck!

[Will Campbell]

And as to your challenge: why the fuck isn't biking all the way an option? Whatcha... scared?

I could bike from Paramount Studios to the Biltmore faster than any bus/bus or bus/train combo. Any Day of the week.

[Damien Newton]

Hard to believe the 80 year old BBB had what it takes to handle the young-ins at Metro. Good call Bus Tard.

[BusTard]

You are right Will; I shoulda waited instead of attempting to add a pointless boast. I sincerely feel awful for making you wait; I assure you that was not my intention. You are a gracious racer and a man with admirable patience. Perhaps we can do the Blue Line vs. the 60 some day. If so, I promise to wait if I arrive first.

[rogedog92]

BusTard, that would really be no comparison... the Blue Line wins. Perhaps the 760 would give it a better fight but not the local 60. How I know this? I live in Compton and take all three from the Artesia Station all the time.

Hey we're doing what reasonable human beings can do, not fucking freak of natures like yourself.

Yeah you would obviously win on a bike, but you're like one of only a handful of people who could do it.

The Bus Bench is trying to encourage people to use alternative modes of transportation, not kill them...I mean unless you're into that.

"And @ Browne: Your gloating headline makes me even more disappointed that we weren't graced with your gloating presence at the finish line last night. Oh yeah and: fuck!" Will

I'm so fucking classless which is why I have absolutely no problem being a bad winner.

If you can't laugh and point after you've won a game, what's the point?

Browne

"I really liked the concept." rogedog92

I hope you participate in the next one.

Sorry for the series of post, I passed out after having many gin and tonics at Traxx and now I'm very hyper, but I don't want to put up a post, because it might sound kind of fucked up.

Cinco de Mayo
Background
In late 1861 Napoleon III, Emperor of the French, sent troops to Mexico, alongside British and Spanish forces, to collect debts owed by a previous Mexican government. President Benito Juárez had announced the annulment of these debts, and vowed to pay nothing to European powers. Napoleon’s troops occupied the port city of Veracruz on December 8, 1861. Soon thereafter, the British and Spanish forces returned home, having established a truce with Mexico.

Of course the French are the decent of the three, the one with far more favor.

Incidentally, this is not an official holiday in the motherland. It is instead honored here in the United States, a clue.

11:13a
Especially when it comes to disfavored I don't trust the god's account of history.
Why were the French there? We know the Spanish were up to no good. Were the French, enemies of the others, reallly trying to help the Mexicans?

6:24p
If the gods are ever going to misrepresent history it will be to the disfavored, ensuring their descendants are misled into the future:::They've subtly suggested the French were there to help the Mexicans, ironically.
This event is NOT celebrated in the motherland, a clue.
I am afraid the celebration of this event contributes to their legacy of dishonesty.

This is another preditory "holiday", much like St.Patrick'sDay is for the Irish.

The gods convince Oakland pimps that chilldhood prostitution is OK - Learn from the lies they tell other groups!!! The gods are casting these individuals into Damnation!!!

Don't be distracted by their middle-management tactic. Considering how many racist Italians there were expect the high-heeled transsexual's Boot is represented out working the streets of Oakland, as it was so prevalient during the homosexaul explosition in the 20th century, ironically. The gods LOVE their poetic justice:::"It's not fair." Fair woudl have been to make an example of Italians as they stepped off the boat, but this killing spree woudl have helped Earth maintain sustainability, and the gods used the Italians for something quite the opposite.
"And the Jews!!!", the Italian's 20th century partners in crime. And it's not just the obvious::::The Jews were very active in the social deterioration that was the 1960s.
The Meditereaeans are European's inferiors, yet the god's positioning put them on a pedistal as corruptor AND clue::::This is the region where the gods killed untold tens of thousands in the Noah's Flood event. Their women traditionally consume alcohol and it severely impacted the culture's decency. 1906 was used to corrupt Italians, compelling them to engage in unspeakable evil. Positioning says they compensated the Jews for WWII, revenge for the 5th century german invasion of the Roman Empire. The reality is the gods used money as a corruptor, casting vasts numbers of both groups into Damnation with this tactic snd employing the perception of evil rewarded to corrupt all of us effectively.

The gods expend most of their efforts planning for and executing temptation designed to test people.
Christianity is a lie. They have an interest in maintaining this perception of an absentee Christian god, lest people become genuinely god-fearing. The alternative is embracing the concept of "evil god", much like the black pimps I speak of above.
The gods are like pimps. They pimp everyone who complies with their lies, and like in Oakland you won't get anything out of it either.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As people begin to age the gods employ corrupting tactics. They ultimately begin to look down on the children and the wisdom they recently understood:::
They voluntarily turn their back on their opportunity to ascend and instead embrace evil.
It's not old people who go to heaven. Old people must come back because of the mistakes they've made throughout their lives. Children are the ones who have the opportunity to ascend.

Children are discounted by adults in society. The gods corrupt people as they age, use trust-building tactics and soon adults view the children as ignorant, yet to understand the god's system, and subsequently look down on the children. This is one of the most bitter, painful ironies the gods employ, for people consciously turn their back on and lose their opportunity to ascend::::
Religions teach that old people to go to heaven when they die. They don't. Old people are reincarnated. It's the children who go to heaven, those who have a chance at immortality.
The wisdom the gods impart to children, either through their innocence/purity or religious-based educational pursuits are the gods sharing the truth with their most favored people::::It's the children whom the gods teach the right way for it is the children who have a chance. For example, they teach children to have faith, for understanding the god's geographical clues hurts people by illustrating negative things, opening the door for the god's to employ deceptive tactics.
Old people don't go to heaven. Old people must come back because of the mistakes they've made throughout their lives. It's the children who have the opportunity to go to "heaven". They must behave apprioriately, think correctly and be genuinely god-fearing. Their innocence and lack of desensitization ensures they have a real opportunity to achieve this goal.

This is charecteristic of the gods methodology::::The big prize gone early, deception compels people to chase something that has already been decided. They sent this clue with boss as well. It is also a clue supporting my claim RW&B's german is in fact Christianity's Anti-Christ. Logic also dictates, considering the definition.
The confusion over this multi-dimentional positioning will serve as an effective tactic, eliminating many additional disfavored in the process, for positioning states the Apocalypse to be a continuation of WorldWarII's Aryan superrace ideals, positioned as punishment for the 5th century invastion of the Roman Empire:::John's Fourth Reich.
This amounts only to "nested theater":::::Levels of positioning enables the gods to scapegoat:::::RW&B merely is the tool the gods chose to execute the final scene of their scripted theater that is human history.

Just as they would have had me chase boss so would they have wanted me to sign on to this theater, evil by definition, and chase this role of Anti-Christ. By doing so I would have incurred evil and would have been punished, painfully "losing" Anti-Christ in the process.
Does that mean RW&B is not the Anti-Christ?? I suspect as they would have "offered" it to me so will there be a fake Anti-Christ for those in these generations to accept as well. But it is a clone host. This is ALL clone host theater, created not as a clue to me but instead designed to be preditory on the disfavored, designed to increase indecency and further the god's goal of justification towards The End.
We were all merely peasants centuries ago, struggling with our disfavor, but without the enormity of temptations, real and telepathic, which exist today.

They have shared I was positioned to some disfavored as the Second Coming of Christ, explaining all the evil surrounding me and RW&B's placement in the "eye of The Beast" was to positon the sabotage of my candidacy (Damien Omen, Big Army Men, etc).
The Big Lie of course is that Christianity is evil. The reverse positioning nature of Planet Earth dictates that good is demonized, as we wintessed in World War II, while evil is put on a pedistal, as we see with the Italians.
The truth? The gods used their tools to create this and the rest of the incidents surrounding this Situation to distract the people from my message, for I speak the truth:::Only you can save you. You have to be responsible for your own relationship with the gods.

The gods are asexual. They have no sex organs nor rectums.
When the gods take children these individuals have the opportunity to become "god-like". Temptations are employed and, if sucessful, these are the individuals who make up the human race's immortals.
I believe there are opportunities that exist for females that do no exist for males. I don't mean to paint with a broad brush but women's "sexual peak" may represent the transistion to "sociological males" and their "fall from grace". Considering today's promiscuity I question whether this is currently applicable, and is yet anther 20th century-earlier phenominah.
I believe Purgatory is real. I think it is a temporary destination, perhaps sparsely utilized until the Apocalypse, but this will be the destination for those who "ascend" during the event. As they've said this planet will too be disposed of one day and it is imperative people try to avoid that destination, for there may be no escaping its fate.

There are a number of such coaches in downtown, primarily along 7th Street but also near or on Wall, Maple and or Los Angeles Streets.
