CTValleyRRWaaaaaaaait a minute! You can actually go 70 on Rt 128 now? Every time I've been on that road, it's been like 70 feet per hour.
Morning rush hour, before 7AM and going opposite most of the traffic. And if you're going less than 70 some guy will be on your caboose sounding his whistle.

BroadwayLionAnybody want to get up and say Morning Prayer with us?
My morning ritual involves driving on Boston's famed Route 128 at 70+ miles per hour.
I will leave it as a discussion topic: Which of us is "nearer, my God, to Thee?"
richhotrain BroadwayLion Nice thread guys... LION appreciates the attention. The original post was at 4:PM and LIONS do not compute after about 2:30 or 3:00 when they high tail it to the train room. After Vespers is time for bed, not for 'puters. Anybody want to get up and say Morning Prayer with us? mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. richhotrain feeling very sheepish because him post when LION can no respond. For his penance, richhotrain has agreed to morning prayer with LION.

BroadwayLionMost printers would just stick a lable over the offending text.
Yep! I just got 6 PS-1 boxcars from MTH... tiny black stickers that say "Kadee coupler equipped" cover over the original text "Kadee COMPATIBLE couplers."
And if that doesn't admonish the NYC subway some super fine text with lawyerspeak that says "...not responsible for errors" would always work
Geared SteamI'm only saying this so I dont mysteriously wake up on the S.D. praire with a T-bone around my neck
I am sure they could come up with something more inventive than that, just read "The DiVinci Code". If it does happen watch out for Cudaken's wolfhound in addition to the stray LIONs.

Stranger things have happened.
Somewhere, I have a subway token left over from when I rode the NY subways on a regular basis.
It cost 15 cents.
Lion hasa been diz tracked lately. He is concerned about his sis teen, and maybe wants to go romin over that way to see his mother and be sure his older brothers are treating her fair, so he forgot the fare.

Never mind I just saw another post with the same idea, I missed the first time through this.
Me comes hear to learn proper Englisch and to chair about hobby of me. Now I reed lotsa words my dicktionery don´t know
MEEOW!
I'm not sure which is worse, printing the wrong ticket price on a transit map, or selling a foot-long sandwich that's only 11 1/2 inches at Subway.
Either way, it's just not fare.

LION node about the fee-asko! Most printers would just stick a lable over the offending text. It is after all only 80,000 copies, and a couple of low paid schlubs could do the job in a couple of days. No big deal--LION has stuck lables on printed products before. (Station agents could stick the label in their spare time, but that would violate half a dozen union contracts.)
But the proff-readers, thems the guilty ones. When LION owned a printing press (6x9 hand press) dad would do the proof reading for 50c a job, then if there was a mistake after that he would pay for the wasted paper. That he ever made a mistake simply did not happen, but I got used to taking everything to the proof reader.
Hello Maybe him went to see the Wizard for help.
have nice day Frank
Hey guys,,,,,none of us in PURRfect. So our LION has a problem and we all are making fun.....gee...I feel bad for him....and we haven't heard from him in a while.....could he have gone CATatonic????????
There's never time to do it right, but always time to do it over.....
Rich wishing him had not started this post..........
Cheers, the Bear.

Truth be told, LION has one of the most unique layouts of anyone on the forum.
As soon as I saw the story about the NY subway map screw up, I thought about the LION and figured that he would be interested in the story.

Rich: I think you meant to type, "HIM needs to explain...." And I have two words for anyone who thinks this thread involves either bullying or insult: "lighten up!"
He's down in the basement. He will be cranking the abbey Gestetner until the Lions come home, printing out 80,000 new maps.

Good question.
LION runs the Forum Subway System. He needs to explain how the maps got screwed up with the wrong fares.
Where's he at, he's missing all the fun. Monastary practices?
