Galena Trolley

JWH67 asked:


Why do some teams, when they move, retain the same nickname despite how ridiculous it sounds in the context of their new home?

Some examples:

The Atlanta Flames were named for the burning flames during Sherman’s March in the Civil War. Yeah, that nickname really is fitting in Calgary.

The New Orleans Jazz was a great name because New Orleans is the home of jazz. Jazz must also be big in Salt Lake City, right?

The Minneapolis Lakers were born in the land of 1,000 lakes. Umm, plenty of lakes in Los Angeles too, right?

The Brooklyn Dodgers were named because fans had to dodge the trolley cars in Brooklyn on the way to Ebbits Field. Have you counted how many trolleys there are in Chavez Ravine?

At least some teams did the smart thing when they moved. I think the Colorado Nordiques and the Carolina Whalers would sound pretty dumb, though the Phoenix Jets would fit okay. And the Washington baseball team is far better as the Nationals than “Les Expos”.

Agreed?

Kick IT asked:


I will be visiting S.F. soon and will be staying at a hotel right outside the SFO airport. We will be traveling in and out of S.F. to do all of the tourist stuff. A BART station is near our hotel and we can travel into SF that way. But we will eventually need to transfer to either a Cable-trolley car or Muni Bus. Will we need to buy seperate passes or is there a particular pass that covers all the transportation?

what do you think if this car? i brought it last week and every day since i have had it i’ve been fixing it. i paid £300 for it and i think its a cracking car. im 16 years old (own a nova but not a chav) and im restoring it to mint, fixing the rust etc… and then im going to buy some nice wheels but im not going to ruin it with a shopping trolley for a spoiler or those stupid body kits people put on novas.

Some Blue Suede Shoes?? A Trolley car???

I’m getting Becky a monkey from the zoo.

It’s a VERY BIG purse…
If Becky wants me to carry her ******* to Memphis, I will gladly do so.

nice4ducks asked:


Even more puzzling, on the last two occasions it has happened at the same spot - right in the middle of the Ladies sweaters - and when I put my hand on the trolley bar to push it I get a shock that is so loud the crackling turns people’s heads! It’s very painful and I am begininng to dread shopping! What can I do to prevent this? (I also get it from car doors, tvs etc - but tesco is the worst!)
Robo Teddy, I get the forked lightning too! It’s blue and pretty dramatic looking. I am beginning to get embarrassed about it - and I am wondering if this is why I also keep setting off the scanning device at airports!

big_dave1462 asked:


If my employer asks me to go do something in the car park whether it be tidy up the trolleys or help a customer load their car should they provide me with a high visibility jacket and/or steel toe capped shoes?

If yes what is the best way to report this problem?
The second answer asked questions which I didn’t state.

I work at Makro part time on the tills at the weekend. I’ve recently been in trouble over refusal to go out and do things in the car park. One was doing trolleys, the other was helping a customer load.

I spoke to a friend about it all and my friend raised the point of “was I provided with any safety equipment?”

In my company induction it does say that Makro is very safety orientated. But I thought if I was asked to go out in the car park as an empoyee I should have been given the correct safety equipment.

Blair is in Africa(or somewhere) Prescott is on a hospital trolley (Flat-car?) in a hospital corridor!
That other “Un-elected Prime Minister Elect” is practising his English accent (according to speech experts).
The other members of the Cabinet are on “Newsnight”.
All jockeying for positions as Deputy Prime Minister.
Brown’s speech lessons,of course,are to teach him to say English without putting B**t*rd after it.
Can you give us any news, please?

I have seen where you can take trolleys and buses, but I didn’t really want to mess with the whole schedule and waiting thing. I AM trying to save on money though. Has anybody used the towns various transit systems and are they easy to use? Do they go to most of the beaches? I’m staying in a hotel near Clearwater Beach, but am going to make my way to other beaches all the way down to Fort De Soto. Thanks!
