What stops

Well I really want to get from Newton to Vail, but they are on different lines, so I need to go Newton ---> Raton, NM. ---> Vail but apparently you can't get from Raton to Vail even though they are both on the....oh now I see that the green line on the map means "connecting services" which might not be a train at all. Well I guess that just means eff you if you want to get from KS to CO (except the southeast corner).

Yes, getting from KS to CO is almost impossible. We looked at it for our next trip and it was like 23 hours long and cost $175.  Nope.

It seems like it is so hard to figure out a route on the Amtrak website. Like, even though I can see that these two stops are on the same route, they say there are not available trains to get from one to the other.
We are not taking a god damn train.

It would be a lot easier to convince you if we didn't have to take a crappy bus for part of the trip.

Yes, but the only Monorail stop is in Eudora.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

No, but I would take a train/subway if we had one.

Very convenient.  Not comfortable in the least.

@metalhead so did you watch the 5th element yet or what?

I'm not watching some dogshit oscar Willis movie (pro tip: oscar Willis is dogshit) without my liveblog-hate-watching it with my bros.

i didn't get a pm on friday night
Lets do it this Friday!

Pick a god damn weekday, unless we're IRL binging and watching together.
