The one metro, that bright shiny new one, that I took today had a surprise in store for me. I found myself on the second carriage. One can walk between carriages on this metro. I saw something strange at the front... so I walked through. I knew the metro was driverless, but wow.... standing at the 'nose' of the train watching the tracks! Next time I'm going to do that. The guy on the right is actually videoing it with his cell phone.
Blurry photo much. Pretend it's showing speed or something, ok?
Hm... it just occurred to me that I should explain the top photo. I love beetle bugs... they're adorable. I so want to get myself one and paint it purple and full of flowers... just because and no, I'm not a hippy. Tat had this game she'd play of finding license plates with funny acronyms. In South Africa, the games would be about repeated numbers, as it was illegal to have a vowel in your license plate (unless it was one of those expensive personalised ones). Here, vowels are allowed and they're very funny sometimes... even funnier when the vehicle owners don't get what's funny about them. I've decided that the word 'cow' will feature in my personalised license plate when I grow up and have a car again :)
i'm picturing the vw pith black cow slotches. someone should do that for him...he would wonder why. ;)
ReplyDeleteOmgosh!!! I'm so going to get myself a beetle and paint it white with black patches.... with a cow numberplate. Great idea! I'll put a credit to you on the bumper ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha. I can hardly wait 'til you have that car. :) Love the metro and how much people like it. :)
ReplyDeleteHow do cows do math?
ReplyDeleteThey use a cow-culator!
Knock, knock.
ReplyDeleteWho's there?
Interrupting Cow.
Interrupting Co – MOO!
That is Small Thing's FAVORITE knock knock joke. *dies
ReplyDeleteWhy does a milking stool have three legs?
Because the cow has the udder!
'cow' beetle sure would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteSilly question in return: Is zebra black with white stripes, or white with black ones? Same goes for cows with patches LOL
haha!
ReplyDeleteOMG thanks for the chuckles at 07.55...And if I had a Beetle, it would be painted like a lady bug...go figure...
ReplyDeleteI think I would have zebra stripes or maybe elephant wrinkles on mine.
ReplyDeleteI got to drive a beetle this past spring when I rented a car for a trip and I totally was in LOVE :-)
ReplyDeleteKewl! So we have a ladybug bug, a zebra bug, a elephant bug, and a cow bug! Jaime's bug will have knock knock jokes written all over it :)
ReplyDeleteLove the thought of you in a COW beetle! here's hoping it comes true soon. Would you dare to drive in Sao Paulo?
ReplyDeleteI have even better idea, though not sure if that would be easy to make true. D'ya know those changeable lids for mobile phones, when you can choose any color, pattern you want and change them as often you want? Well, one could make something for cars, so you could change colors, etc. any time you want according to days mood :)
ReplyDeleteI kinda would love it myself :)
Ien, I would drive in São Paulo, but I'd be very choosy about where and what time. I'd probably continue to mostly use public transport.
ReplyDeleteAsta, that is a wonderful idea! Shall we work on it and market the idea? You'll get full credit : )
Ok, the cops won't allow colour/style changes of cars because of car theft, but what if we at least changed, say, the bumpers? Or snap on hubcaps - oh wait... cars no longer use hubcaps, do they? *laugh* I'm sooo out of date!
ReplyDelete:) a possible solution, though not as effective, could be making interior of the car changeable. If you're not allowed to paint your car the way you want , then go for seats and carpets!!!
