I know someone who got a massive ticket for this in Boston's carpool lane.

I think it's been clear for a while now that the dead are useful. After all, W rode 3,000 corpses to Iraq and reelection.

congrats charles on a post that 1) makes sense 2) doesn't blatantly go for the race or social card and 3) doesn't include a random picture you found.

I'm reminded of the recent (-ly aired in the US) episode of Doctor Who, where desperate highway travelers kidnap people off the street in order to get HOV privilege.

i'd see if i could get my friend to lie down in the coffin. then it would be really funny for him to shout "boo" when the attendant opened the coffin lid.

Charles, congratulations on the incredibly obscure Abraham Lincoln reference! Which came first, the title or the post?

ddv, totally agree.

Sstarr, if you think that's incredibly obscure you have an inflated sense of your own knowledge.

As someone who commutes to and from the eastside on a regular basis, I've gotten pretty creative about avoiding traffic and bottlenecks on 520 and I-90. I use surface streets, shortcuts and have been known to purchase a small amount of gas at the station right before the east entrance 520 bridge in order to cut through the on ramp back up. But, anyone who knowingly violates HOV lane etiquette is just low, and deserves a swift kick in the nads along with a hefty ticket. I see it all the time ...

it never ceases to amaze and disgust me (whenever i'm in seattle) to note so many people driving by themselves while commuting to and from work.

Jesus Christ. Learning to ride a motorcycle is hard, but it isn't that hard. All I can think of is that people do this stupid shit because cheating is their kink.
