Session Start: Thu Feb 08 10:21:15 2007
[10:25] 30 minutes later in Nfld: so, riding in this morning
[10:25] 30 minutes later in Nfld: i found myself asking
[10:26] 30 minutes later in Nfld: why the STM doesn't sell t shirts with the Metro logo
[10:26] 30 minutes later in Nfld: it's a good logo. they'd make some bucks
[10:27] Chet: you'd buy one?
[10:27] 30 minutes later in Nfld: hehe
[10:27] 30 minutes later in Nfld: nobody's getting rich off what i'd buy
[10:27] 30 minutes later in Nfld: but tourists would buy them
[10:28] 30 minutes later in Nfld: works in NYC, and London, and some other places
[10:30] Chet: ahh, if you're looking to make cash off tourists just make a "i've been to MTL and i didnt find the freakin underground city" t-shirt
[10:31] 30 minutes later in Nfld: that, i could make
[10:31] 30 minutes later in Nfld: but the Metro shirt could get me sued
[10:32] 30 minutes later in Nfld: anyway, i'm not interested in the tourist market - it was just an observation
[10:32] Chet: howabout "Samsonov is a tourist" ?
[10:33] 30 minutes later in Nfld: i'm going after a much more exclusive and much less fruitful market
[10:34] Chet: train modelists?
[10:36] 30 minutes later in Nfld: hehe
[10:37] 30 minutes later in Nfld: the railroad modelists are a seriously fuckin organized people
[10:37] 30 minutes later in Nfld: but few in numbers
[10:37] Chet: bordeline obsessive compulsive
[10:38] 30 minutes later in Nfld: they have a space under the rail spit that comes out the back of Bonaventure
[10:38] 30 minutes later in Nfld: and once a year they let people in to see what freaks they are
[10:39] 30 minutes later in Nfld: i'm told they have dozens of types of freight working down there
[10:39] Chet: :|
[10:39] 30 minutes later in Nfld: and they even have a complicated waybill system, so you can track the movement of their miniature logs going back for years and years
[10:39] 30 minutes later in Nfld: they even do containers....
[10:40] 30 minutes later in Nfld: and i won't be surprised if they are building a working port, with ships
[10:40] 30 minutes later in Nfld: gotta check that shit out next time they are open
[10:41] Chet: what the hell are you talking about??
[10:41] Chet: covert modelists?
[10:41] Chet: sect?
[10:42] 30 minutes later in Nfld: possibly - a friend took his kids there in the fall
[10:42] 30 minutes later in Nfld: and he said his wife was scared by the strange men they encountered
[10:42] Chet: LOL
[10:42] Chet: white with red eyes?
[10:42] 30 minutes later in Nfld: but the older kid was beside himself with disbelief at this little world.... TRAINS
[10:42] Chet: and long nails
[10:42] 30 minutes later in Nfld: lol
[10:43] Chet: not sure i'd take my kids there...
[10:43] Chet: its a breeding grounds for serial killers
[10:43] 30 minutes later in Nfld: the trick is to
[10:43] 30 minutes later in Nfld: take someone else's kids
