15. Josh, I was about to post about the Onion “C$%^punching” Statshot, but then I thought…and…before I even checked the link, I knew.

I always think of it whenever I pass by a Subway.

14. 13 : Ha!

Being a lowbrow, I was always particularly partial to this Onion “statshot”:

13. Reminds me of The Onion’s “Statshot” from a few years ago, titled “How are we maintaining our dignity?” (http://www.theonion.com/content/node/36740):

3. Never running to catch public transportation.

I always think of that one when I’m running to catch public transportation.

Followed of course by: 4. Acting like we quit.

12. I wouldn't bet against it. For rent-to-own outlets, though, it's definitely Milwaukee.

11. 9 Actually 202 dollars because I never got my lost dollar coin back and had to buy another ticket. Argh.

10. 8 : I did hear that about Western Avenue. I'm guessing it also has the record among streets for most check-cashing joints, too.

8. Josh, Posting here, in case you don't go back: the Bob Coluccio post is pure genius. By the way, did you know Western Ave. is (supposedly) the longest continuous street in the world?

7. It looks like his picture was taken right after he got the news he was cut.

6. What strikes me about that card is the awful logo inconsistency between the hat and the jacket. That would never happen today. I just now did the very same commuting dash in the rain described above, only to catch a bus. In college, when I worked part-time stocking shelves at a local supermarket, my boss remarked to me that I had "the worst on-time record in the history of the company." (high-five)
