iPod Subway in TO

mycatsnameis · Aug 11th, 2005, 05:48 PM

OK, maybe this is old news (I was on vacation for 5 weeks) but I got on the iPod subway this morning to get to work. Just like Apple Canada completely papered an entire TTC subway stop last year they've painted an entire subway externally and taken up every single paper ad spot inside as well. I almost felt a bit self concious with my white ear buds on the ride down. (Apologies if this has already been posted but I thought it was pretty cool.

Pretty sure he means they did an entire subway train.

Alright...Where is it?
I'm sick of looking at the Microshaft Dinosores.

Umm, it's in Toronto?

Dude, it's a subway train.

Where is it? It's at Finch. Wait, it's at Eglinton. Hold on, it's... a subway train.

Quaint...Very quaint...That's about as much as I'll say at this point.

Union...

All the union employees at my job site get 5 weeks of "PAID" vacation off per year.
(It makes me sick, Wish I could be hired as a full time employee...
Maybe in 20 years...Oh wait...I might be retired by then.)

I work at the same place as mycatsnameis so I'm ribbing him. It's probably the first vacation he's had in 10 years.

Pretty damn close! I just got a new job so I piled a bit of vacation from teh old one up against all the vacation I got for the first year of the new one and away we went (to Italy

). Sorry dol- but there is no union involved (well not exactly).

Getting BOT, yes it was the whole fr$%^%kn train. Pretty impressive. I had a good time watching the faces of iPod wearers in the platforms as the train was pulling in. It was running the Yonge/University line today.
