If you're ever on a long road trip, and feel the need to occupy your mind a bit between dull highway travel, just play this little game I came across a while ago.
Whenever you pass a street sign, try to make an acronym out of the words on it. For example, speed limit might become several perverted elephants emit dangerous liqiuds in more interior territories. It sounds retarded at first, but once you play with some other people, the insanity begins to amuse you. Oh, and try not to repeat words in the acronym, otherwise, every STOP sign would jsut be the same thing over and over again.
Just try it before you knock it.
Yeah it does sound weird at first by just reading it like that, but I'll try it.
... I'd have to be seriously bored before I ever think that's amusing.
But who knows myabe it'll work.
I DON'T DRIVE
Nope. I plan to walk everywhere until I develop Telekinesis or possibly a simple fly spell (of decent caster level).
Why drive when you have friends that drive? ;)
And I'm going to bash your game before I try it. -BONK-
Yes I am 19.
My grandmother is 68 and doesn't drive.
I fail to see where you were going with this.
Yeah.....
I'll just play music.
I do the music thing plus the sing along thing that Mis does. As he is amused by his bad voice, the same goes for me. Only its, you know, my voice instead of his. But when stuck in traffic I usually click on the button of my handbrake to the rhythm of the music.
I do this not with street signs, but with license plates. It's easier, and there are usually more of them.
Plus, you never miss the 1/19683 chance someone has "PWN" or "LOL" on theirs.

He's saying that your whole family is pathetic and lazy.
Yeah, I listen to music, and laugh at my horrendous voice.
And usually, some twit will tick me off, so I **** him off more.
Racing ricers is the best, especially downtown. The low gear ratios/huge low end torque on my truck mean that it blasts off the line (8 second 0-60 is pretty **** good for a 5000 pound truck, I'd say.) Not to mention that since it has such a high ride hieght and sronger suspension, the potholes that make them bottom out are nothing but little bumps for me.
Good times. Now if only I got more than 9mpg.:(
During my many trips back and forth between Arizona and Minnesota, we'd play an alphabet game where you have to find something that starts with A, then something that starts with B, and so on.
We never found any Qs. We'd usually just skip Q and head onto U territory, which was much easier.
GYD: God you're dumb.
NST: Nigga stop talkin'.
GXS: Good xylophone song.
f*ck the signs every time i try to read a sign i run off the road
If you're as stupid as your posting style would indicate, I'm not surprised.
If you're too stupid to take you eyes off of the road for a second you're a complete retard. Driving is about predicting and responding to road conditions. If you can't predict where you're going and have no concept of space in relation to you and your car you shouldn't be driving, period.
how do I drive in rain?
Recklessly.
I would not do this, because it sounds lame.
The only other person I've ever heard say bullfeathers is my 60 year old grandfather.
You make me giggle.
Christ your grandfather is young. He can't have been older than 42 when you were born. Teen pregancies much?
I know something more amusing whilst driving, but most of you won't be able to do so anyway.
Vampiro agrees with me.
That means I'm right. :cool: Becuase it couldnt possibly have anything to do with cane toads.
I don't understand this fascination with driving. Yeah, it's fun and all, but I'm really not that bothered. It's much cheaper to take the bus, train, tram or go on foot. I'm 19, and I can drive if there's an emergency or whatever, but if someone threatens me with my life if I don't parallel park, well, I'm screwed.
I mean, like, what's the point? There's absolutely NOWHERE that I can't get to by some other means, cheaper, and generally faster.
Where I live it's practically a necessity to have a car, even in the city. That's why we get licensed at 15 here. To even go to the nearest grocery store I have to drive about 4 miles. The nearest bus comes to the mall, about ten miles from my house, and even then it only runs there and back about three times a day. Even in most of ABQ you're lucky to find a bus with anything shorter than an hourly schedule, and then, it's incredibly slow to get around because you have to change from bus to bus, and with the kind of connections described, it takes hours to get across the some 180 square miles that make up the greater Albuquerque area. The bus is cheap, though. It's like $15 for a 3-month pass or something.
We are getting a light rail system and I think the first part of it comes on-line this summer. But it'll be years before an effective one ever comes into the works. About bikes and stuff, due to the insane amount of traffic, it's halfways a deathwish to use your bike in bigs parts of the city.
As for parallel parking, they've made spaces big enough to park SUV's in. I just park there, and usually a motorcycle or moped will squeeze in too, especially near the college campus where parking is at a freakin' premium.
Even if I wanted to get around in the public transport system, it's simply not very plausible unless you have all day to get where ya need to.
See, for me, four miles really isn't a problem to walk. Although to be fair, ten miles is out of my league to get a bus.
I'd still, however, use a bike.
Jesus, America has some pretty crappy public transport. I can get to London from my house in about 30-40 minutes with less than a fiver.
