Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2009 2:30 am Post subject: Korean Flag caught on Seoul Bus |
|
|
| Somehow it got caught as the bus approached a busy intersection on a red light. We were in the far righthand lane when it grabbed onto the rightside big rearview mirror. The driver came to a stop, opened the door to get the flag. After getting it, what do you think he did with it? Hint...He didn't do what I would've done, or what I think a good Korean city worker(My co-teacher told me they weren't city workers?) should've. |

When I read the title of this thread I had visions in my head of a bunch of people chasing after and tackling a runaway flag on a city bus. Then as I read further, I realized this was one really special flag, because it had the ability to "grab" things. A flag with hands and fingers! Wow.
But, of course, it wasn't real. Just another confusing thread written by the one and only buymybook.
What did he do with this special flag, buymybook? Put it in the garbage can? What did you think he should have done? |

| Protested the government and/or called for the expulsion of foreigners in Korea along with hundreds of people he rallied through text messages? |

Who cares? Here's a thread: A flag got snagged on a bus. Now, I'm not going to tell you what happened to it, I'm going to make you TUNE IN NEXT WEEK for the exciting conclusion of the flag saga!
Idiot. |

What did he do with this special flag, buymybook? Put it in the garbage can? What did you think he should have done? |
I think he should've folded it up, put it in the most secure place on the bus as possible and later given it to his boss or dropped it off at the proper place.
There were bicyles parked on the side near the intersection, he placed it on a bicycle. What do you think the owner of the bicycle did with it assuming it was still there when he/she arrived to retrieve bike?

It was probably tossed aside and somehow found its way onto the intersection. Now it is causing traffic chaos as people swerve to go around it or suddenly stop to release it from their tires.
Either that or someone was decent enough to take it to the ju min centre and it`s going to be replaced tomorrow. |

Buymybook is in the process of writing a new book about all the random, boring things he sees in his life in Seoul. But he's not going to tell anybody what actually happens. He'll make them buy the sequel to find out the boring answer.
He thinks he is going to be a best selling author some day, but he'd be lucky if he ever sold one copy of one of his books. I'm sure even his mom would be bored to death and would be scratching her head trying to figure out what the hell he's trying to say.
Not only can he not write, he has no sense of what is interesting to people who live outside of his own mind. |
