Sad, but True.

Unfortunately, this blog has died. It will still be used for entries on Illustration Friday.

If you are a fan of Nick, his MySpace is www.myspace.com/xsmashedx.

Sorry, folks.

Updates

Sorry 'bout not updating in ages, folks.

Here's some updates:

I got MySpace! www.myspace.com/xsmashedx

I wrote a cool song "Amphetamines". Hear it here: www.myspace.com/oniochalasia

"Novel" is apparently a genre of books. Thanks, Bette.

Went to Dunsborough and played botchi (I hope that's how you spell it) and the funniest game of pictionary EVER!


Yeah, so I've kinda been distracted by MySpace, but I'm back now!

BURN, EUROPEAN BUS DRIVER, BURRRRRN! - or, vengeance is sweet.

Ha ha hadi ha ha!

Okay, so I missed my normal bus, right? I have to catch two buses to get home instead.

BACKGROUND INFO:

When I catch the normal bus, I catch a train afterwards. Normally I use my SmartRider, but if I pay in money, I pay 60c. This is fine, I think (I've never actually been inspected). So, I reason, 60c should be fine for catching the two buses. After all, the ticket says "Concession, 2 zone".

BACK TO THE PRESENT (NOT THE WRAPPED SORT):

I get on the first bus, pay 60c (thinking it would be fine), and get off at my stop. I then go to the next stop. Upon getting into the bus, I present my ticket.

(European Driver shakes head)

NICK: Sorry?

EUROPEAN DRIVER (In heavy russian-ish accent): Nuh, dickhead, this 60 cent. Not for two buses, you know that, dickhead. You need 90 cent. 60 cent only two zones.

NICK: But I'm only going two zones.

EUROPEAN DRIVER: Nuh, dickhead! Not for two bus!

NICK: But it says on the ticket, 2 zones.

EUROPEAN DRIVER: Nuh, dickhead, nuh! You must 90 cent for two bus, dickhead. 60 cent, 2 stop 12 stop not matter, but two buses 90 cent, dickhead!

-DISCLAIMER-

I understand that I had paid the wrong fee, and I would have been more than happy to pay the extra money for another ticket, had the bus driver been less, umm... of a "dickhead".

NICK: Okay, I'll pay for another ticket.

EUROPEAN DRIVER (more to self than Nick): Good, dickhead. You catch bus, you should know, dickhead. I think you know, dickhead.

(Nick pays the fee and goes to sit with asociates on the bus)

But guess who wins the whole affair?

ME!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

I got home and called the Transperth comment line. I gave them the time, bus number, route number, and the stop. So the European bus driver will probably go hungry for the next 6 months.

I WIN!

Ha ha hadi ha ha!
