Ha!
People had to walk up 26 steps to get to the ferry!
You mean TERROR STEPS, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If we have to use stairs, then the terrorists have already won.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have no more QI to watch. Woe. All gone.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
It was a live report on a BROKEN ESCALATOR. People had to walk up 26 steps to get to the ferry!
Humph. The Davis Sq. escalator has been downf or service for 2 weeks, and will be another 2 weeks. (Right up till today they had a big pile of escalator steps labeled "good steps" and a different pile not labeled, but so covered with gunk and elderly dust bunnies that they were clearly the Bad Steps.) And I have not had a single news van to describe my sorrow!!
When I lived in the DC area, I am not even sure they covered every instance of someone being mangled in an escalator -- it seemed to happen all the time. (Although they did cover that one time a guy's hoodie strings caught in the mechanism and strangled him.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They hate us for our escalators.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

SO CLOSE to being an x-post. Damn my slow fingers!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
This is why I don't watch local tv news anymore. They led with Obama's Hollywood fundraiser the one time I did try and watch in the past week, and all the breathless reporting over who was there disgusted me in all its starfuckingmania, so I turned the tv off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I remember the escalators going out at one London station and it being entirely newsworthy. The Hampstead escalators run almost 200 feet up, so when they're out, it's best you don't get off at that station.
The annoying Google images javascript seems to have disappeared!

From Wonkette:
After a long successful run of endorsing winners like George McGovern, Walter Mondale, Al Gore and John Kerry, the magazine Rolling Stone implied back in November that Tom Vilsack might survive with a little buzz help from Wonkette.
As an experiment, we gave Vilsack an absurd amount of coverage, including endless critiques of his impressive neo-totalitarian campaign style and disturbing “furry” costumes. Well, actually, that was all we covered — the 1984/V For Vendetta/ crap and the adult Winnie the Pooh costume. And now he’s the first candidate to drop out, nearly two years before the election. There’s a lesson here, possibly involving Piglet or Owl or Bill Richardson.
