Also: Safety Alert
Friday, September 17, 2010
The Rejectionist, Lola Pants, and Support Team survived the Great Brooklyn Tornado of 2010; thank you to everyone who expressed concern over our well-being. We actually spent the entirety of said tornado safely underground, wedged among approximately 5,000 increasingly enraged persons stuck on the L train (DOORS CLOSED AC OFF 45 MINUTES IN BETWEEN 8TH AND 6TH AVENUES), including a young gentleman who had clearly spent the entirety of his afternoon ingesting methamphetamine and was not feeling well. Good times were had by all. Some advice: ALWAYS pee before you get on the subway.

Your subways are toiletless too?
Oh wow. I'm glad you're okay! :)
I assume that the "we" who spent this time on the subway is a royal "we," possibly also encompassing Support Team, but not Lola Pants.
Although if I'm wrong, that makes the story still better. "Oh man, that was a lot of meth, I don't feel so OH GOD I'M ALLERGIC TO CATS."
Good safety tip: Go before you go.
We're glad you and yours are all right!
(Lola deigns to take the L-train? I would have thought she was a towncar-and-driver kind of girl)
At least you weren't outside with the falling trees and having to walk home three miles in the rain. I think the guys in my cubicle will be living off that story for months.
And Lola Pants could totally take meth guy in a subway fight.
Sorry, unclear! That was the royal we. Lola Pants travels exclusively by limo.
Always pee before you get on the subway.
Boy is that a lesson I learned the hard way.
Fifteen years of commuting from eastern Queens to Manhattan have made me incapable of leaving the office without stopping at the bathroom.
Obviously, the tornado got lost. It was looking for Manhattan . . . Kansas! *g*
Glad you didn't wind up in Oz! :)
A very well seasoned traveller once said to me, "When you are travelling, never pass by a washroom." I've often been saved by that piece of succinct advice. Glad to tornado didn't have your name on it.
Tornadoes! Tornadoes everywhere this year!
I will even resist calling you the Wicked Witch of the East (Coast).
