London bus, more than meets the eye!
I saw it in video on YouTube. The idea is astonishing and super original! True Olympic spirit)
Post Modern artists thinking they have something to contribute, kinda like libertarians are to politics, only not as injurious.
“While hand signaling for a left turn, he wiped out five oncoming cars.”
Imagine being flipped off by this guy!
Genetic engineering gone completely awry…
Getting ready for the Burning Man Festival.
Not as Creative as me.
Before time existed you made the Universe such that that bus/arm thingamagitty would be there.
Creativity means something “new.”
Whats new in your omniscient prison?
……ha, ha==a god so heavy, no one can lift him.
I answered 3,829,305,461 prayers today.
A new world record.
The answer was NO.
With such a uniform response, why did you create hoomans to pray to you? Seems rather pointless.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
– Epicurus [341–270 B.C.]
I am in a bad mood today.
I saw what you did yesterday.
I’m proud to be thinking for myself.
Why aren’t you?
Yea, verily.
God is the Creator, not the Manipulator…
Haggai
1:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
1:8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
1:9 Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
1:10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
1:11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is patient.
Fek of you lightweight, this is my territory
UK trainers assist a hybrid double-decker bus/humanoid Olympian warm-up with some push-ups in the privacy of its training garage. The Brits are counting on this one to win gold in the shot-put since arm-wrestling is not one of the competitions.
Let the games begin!
The real reason London buses were retired: they were starting to evolve.
Nah… They just smell like it.
A Transport Of Delight
by: Michael Flanders & Donald Swan
Some people like a motorbike,
Some say a tram for me,
Or for bonny Annie Laurie
By the lay them down a dee.
Such means of locomotion seem rather dull to us,
The driver and conductor of a London omnibus.
Hold very tight please! Ting-ting!
Hold very tight please! Ting-ting!
When you are lost in London
And you don’t know where you are
You’ll hear my voice a-calling
“Pass further down the car!”
And very soon you’ll find yourself inside the terminus,
In a London transport diesel-engined 97-horsepower omnibus.
Along the Queen’s great Highway I drive my merry load
At 20 miles-per-hour in the middle of the road.
We like to drive in convoys – we’re most gregarious:
The big six-wheeler scarlet-painted London transport diesel-engined 97-horsepower
omnibus.
Earth has not anything to show more fair
Mind the stairs! Mind the stairs! Mind the stairs!
Earth has not anything to show more fair
Any more fares? Any more fares? Any more fares? Any more fares? Any more fares?
When cabbies try to pass me, before they overtakes,
I sticks me flippin’ ‘and out and jams on all me brakes,
Then jackal taxi drivers can only swear and cuss
Behind that monarch of the road,
Observer of the Highway Code,
That big six-wheeler scarlet-painted London transport diesel-engined 97-horsepower
omnibus.
I stops when I’m requested although it spoils the rides
So he can shout “Gert out of it, we’re full right up inside!”
We don’t ask much for wages, we only want fair shares
So cut down all the stages and stick up all the fares.
If tickets cost a pound a piece
Why should you make a fuss?
It’s worth it just to ride inside
That 30-foot-long by 10-foot-wide
Inside that monarch of the road,
Observer of the Highway Code,
That big six-wheeler scarlet-painted London transport diesel-engined 97-horsepower,
97-horsepower omnibus.
Hold very tight please! Ting-ting!
The New “Pub Crawl Bus”. what a way to reduce drunken driving in London (or drink driving as it is referred to there)
“I don’t care what she says the kid doesn’t look anything like me” said Optimus Prime on the witness stand…..ba dump bump.
Nobody move — I dropped a contact!
Even the buses taking are steroids for the Olympics
When Nigel ordered a fleet of biofueled busses for the Olympic games in London, he was expecting something completely different!
And now…. the Larch!
Keep on Truck’n
Does this bus have enough elbow room?
I say, this bus comes armed with the latest accessories.
Boy! The MoT for buses is getting tough in the UK.
Bus Ted
With hands like that, it needs an enormous schlong or huge boobs to play with.
Created to make Americans think that because a bus does some push-ups all the fatties will start to get in shape.

Expect to see it in Jeremy Clarkson’s front garden.
New performance enhancing drugs located on olympic bus.
Now that’s what I call MASS transit!

British bus, and closet Yank admirer, exercising the American right to bare arms.
The new bus concept design is the pits!
