Another random THS reference

[Jersey]

So there's a forum on the local news site here called PennLive. (The site mostly blows, but the forums are fun. Lots of mayor-bashing and general political talk)

Anyway, someone started a thread called "be positive" with regard to the current state of disarray which Harrisburg resides in.

A couple of posts down, there was one titled 'Stay Positive' - and I thought it was just coincidental- until I read it and saw this-

Now, I like what educatenow wrote. As best I can figure, you're saying that there's gonna come a time when the true scene leaders will forget where they differ and get big picture?

I think that'd be great. Now, unfortunately, as a state-funded edifice, I'm required to remain impartial on these sorts of things, but I think it'd be great if everyone could unite behind change. Just think: the Susquehanna wasn't crossed in a day!

It's seriously the closest thing we've got to the Autobon (sp?)

I drove over it once in my life and not only have I vowed to never cross it again but I try to avoid the entire Harrisburg area because of it. Of course that will all change now that I know that HTBridge is a THS fan.

As one who spent most of his life so far in Harrisburg, I thought this Pennlive thread was absolutely amazing.

last night i was watching the local weather to see the status of the impending ice storm and the weather guy said:

"the storm will hold steady coming from the upper midwest into St. Louis Sunday night."

for a few seconds i blocked the storm part out of my mind.....and just imagined the possibilities for tonight......

then reality set in......

So, I'm watching last season's Smallville on dvd (So? I can watch what I want to watch) and and Jimmy Olson and Lois Lane break into Lana's office and find it has a huge hidden bank of state-of-the-art computers and surveillance equipment.

Jimmy: This is...
Lois: Creepy.
Jimmy: Sexy.

I think I shared this story on the old board, but what the hell:

I was tending bar one night when a couple guys came in and asked me about the concerts I've been to. I had seen the Hold Steady a week or so prior, so we talked about that. The rest of the night these guys were calling me Hallelujah. I never would have suspected they were fans by looking at them. It made my night.

Off-topic, but: THIS STORM TOTALLY SUCKS. (Is, in fact, sucking right this very second, as it did for my entire 5-mile, 45-MINUTE commute home.)
TRUST ME.

I feel your pain. I had a final tonight and had to drive to campus and back during rush hour in the crazy snow. It took me forever to get home because for some reason they didn't plow the massive freeway that runs through the middle of the city so everyone was driving insanely slow.

not really random, but i find it mildly amusing....
so my mom's somewhat of a stoner (but a loving, productive one)
she thinks it is great getting high.
on her days off, you can find her bright and early, in the kitchen, making coffee and singing "wake and bake" to a tune she has created all on her own
but then i moved home and with me, THS
now she sings, "when you wake up again, you'll be high as hell and born again"

This is a bit of a reach, but lest we forget while the record was being made:
