Posted by Amanda on Sun Jun 22 01:23:54 2008, in response to Re: PHOTOS: Reefed Subway Cars at Mermaid Parade, posted by JournalSquare-K-Car on Sat Jun 21 22:51:14 2008. The green mohawk thing was a joke. I didn't think you were going to take me seriously. KarlB knew it was a joke too and added the part about the R-36 tattoo on my back. I have a tattoo, but it's certainly too pretty to be a train.So much clothes? It was a shirt and pants. And I burned anyway, even with the SPF 60 I was wearing (and had reapplied). Even putting a Redbird on top of your head is not adequate sun protection. The cars lacked roofs (rooves?) due to added weight and higher damage possibility. The Redbird went from Islip to Jamaica, switched trains to Flatbush, hopped on a Q, sat on the beach for a while, hung out in Stillwell terminal, marched through the parade, hopped on an N, switched to the Franklin Street shuttle, caught a C, transfered to a A, and then was kicked off at 168th St. and had to take a 1. That's a lot of abuse for a little car to take, but it only had a few dings from a run-in with the R40 and an elevator. If it had a roof, it would have definitely been ripped to shreds by the end of the day. But, believe it or not, the cars felt heavy at times - the R40 moreso than the R36, that's why it was carried that way (and there was somewhat of a height difference that would have made the car a little lopsided). I would have prefered not to carry the thing on my head, but we were short people and that was the only way I was able to balance it without dropping it. My arms are killing me. AEM is not a girl - the girl carrying the banner was one of our friends who came to march with us. Her husband and AEM carried the R40. |
