If You Take A Numbered Subway Line Home From Work In New York City, You Are Probably Fucked Right Now

What a goddamn hilarious tweet. Well I guess unless you rely on the 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 trains to get home from work and were hoping to get in the door by the time tonight’s Rough N Rowdy started at 7:30 (buyrnr.com). Then it’s pretty fucked. But seeing almost every number train being wiped off the board and asking people to take an alternative method of transportation like “lettered trains” made me spit out my coffee and I wasn’t even drinking any. You know why? Because it’s a million degrees outside. Luckily I’m sitting well North of The Wall at the Casa de Clem getting ready to watch Rough N Rowdy (again, that’s buyrnr.com) in my house with central air. That’s not a brag, just stating fact. However, my heart does go out to the people on the shutdown numbered trains, the now overcrowded letter trains, and what I imagine is a Lord of the Flies situation developing for every taxi and Uber in an overcrowded city filled with hot garbage on a Friday night as about half of the devil’s labyrinth shuts down.

On the bright side, at least none of the numbered line commuters are in charge of running the NY Subway’s Twitter page, which must be a delight right now.

The @Mets Twitter handle need to steal this message for their next PR disaster (likely within the next 48 hours) or Brodie’s first trade deadline.

Speaking of the Mets, shout out to the 7 line for not being effected by a communication glitch. You may be a shitty line that leads to a shitty baseball team 81 times a year. But you somehow avoiding the reverse jackpot for all numbered subway lines and keeping your ass out of the jackpot is nothing short of amazing.

And that was your Commuting Minute With Clem on the 8s. Now lets send it to Big Cat, Large, and Robbie Fox down in Fayetteville for tonight’s Rough N Rowdy (which again can be purchased at buyrnr.com)
