Bullet Points on Blackout Rather
Bullet Points on Blackout
Rather than actually taking full advantage of the English language, I'm just going to throw out some quick thoughts on what T-shirts are calling the "Blackout of 2003."
* Who else thought at first it was a pre-cursor to something much worse?
* Who else thought it was related to the Blaster worm going around?
* Who else was concerned about the amount of alcohol being consumed by many New Yorkers?
* Who else considered themselves far luckier than those trapped in subways/elevators?
* Who else thought, "You know, I always say I have a cell phone in case of emergencies, and here I am in an emergency and I can't use the damn thing?"
* Who else had a cop flag down a car to drive them through the midtown tunnel (without really asking him) instead of walking all the way up to the Queensboro Bridge, saving mucho time?
* Who else spent time looking up at the stars (!) in the New York sky?
* Who else happened to have Escape from New York waiting for them at home from Netflix?
