Bus stop brawl: Sometimes you need to stay on the bus.

Recently in Pennsylvania two school bus stop fights broke out, with adults and kids! Of course, someone was brave enough to break out their phone to catch the events. There is no reported reasoning behind the melees but I'm thinking it went something like this:

"I heard you was tallin'bout me."
"Yeah, and..."
"Keep my name out your mouf..."
"Or whut?"
*Pow*
"Dat's whut..."

And crews for both parties jumped in, because...you know...that's what you're 'sposed to do. No matter how OLD you are...

By the way, today is the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King. The irony, huh?

Throwback Thursday: What are the odds?

When spinning the Price is Right wheel -- da wheel! -- there is only one rule: beat your opponent without going over $1.00. That's it. No need to have a tutorial, seminar or a "For Dummies" book within arms' reach. You are already a winner.

You're one of the top three winners to make it to the wheel. This means that the hardest portion of the show (getting picked) is already over. You just have one job at that point, stand on stage and spin the damned wheel, without exceeding a dollar. This means when the first dude spins .10 (must have been a tie-breaking spin) all you have to do is beat a dime. That's it. *Kicks soda can down an alley*
It sucks to be him...years after this throwback first aired.

3 reasons to get on the bus (the next time you need to get out of town)

Megabus is also found in the UK. Image source: geograph.org.uk
Here's a new year's resolution for you: don't make 2013 another stay-at-home vacation year. With companies like Megabus behind the wheel, getting you there on the cheap is a thankful possibility in today's economy. Keep reading for three reasons why you need to take the bus to your next US-based destination.

It's safe. The "Chinese buses", as they was once called, are now found in safe, family-friendly bus stops. No longer will you need to fear the hood. And no need to be stressed while en route, either.  The buses are equipped with seat belts, even though it's not even mandatory!


It's convenient. Unlike the airport, there is no need to drive 30 miles or more to head out of town. Bus stops are located in nearby neighborhoods, to accommodate those who are more likely to hop on board -- students and the budget conscious.


It's cheap. This is the main reason for an increase in ridership, as noted in this article. So if you have a few hours to kill, save hundreds of dollars on a flight (and checked luggage) and get on the bus.


If you can afford basic cable then you can afford to take advantage of round-trip ticket into a major -- or not so major -- destination. This isn't the 80s bus service you once succumbed to...

Throwback Thursday: Who wants to be... embarrassed on national TV?

You have the opportunity of the lifetime. The chance to win a million dollars. As long as you get through the first few easy questions, you should be fine. Wait...you actually have to answer the first question -- usually the easiest one -- correctly? And don't brag about not getting any sleep and drinking coffee to stay awake.

He clearly needed some rest. Youngsters. Anyway, please enjoy this week's throwback game show, the first of 2013!
