Green Line Holiday

What started out as a nice trip to the MCA turned into a nightmare when we headed back home via the el. The green line's been under maintenance for a while so we expected a long wait, but we never expected this crazy holiday train to roll up. But still we hopped on, thinking that it'd probably take a half-hour or longer for another train to arrive.

all aboard!

They completely decked the halls with boughs of holly in that bitch. Santa even had his own car with his lil helpers giving everyone candy canes. There wasn't an inch on that train that was left uncovered with holiday cheer... they had Christmas songs playing over loud speakers and everything.

it's all in the detail

the seats were re-upholstered in the finest of holiday fabrics

they even replaced the ads with these corny lil spoofs

About 15 mins. into the trip the train stopped due to that track maintenance bullsh*t mentioned earlier. So we sat... and sat... and sat while they attempted to get everything back rolling. The holiday chear turned into turmoil and grief with every passing rendition of Jingle Bells & Sleigh Ride. Once we'd finally reached our destination and the doors opened, people ran out screaming and partially bald. It was the single most horrifying train experience of our lives.
