It not your break time contractor.

Start getting fitted for that Coastal Security uniform, swamp thing.

What can I say?  Just having the /95/ in isolation looked strange.

Lose the article.  It's I95.

Actually, it's I-95.  The point is, it's a proper noun, so it doesn't take an article, so you'd say, "I took the interstate" if you aren't specifying which interstate, but "I took I-95" if you are being specific.

Do you say "I took Pennsylvania Turnpike"?

Of course not, but do you say "I took the Interstate 95?"

I took the Manhattan.

There are several turnpikes, the Pennsylvania Turnpike being one of them.  Hence the article.

Tater Tots ranked anywhere else but last is a crime against humanity, the penalty for which should be death via impalement.

I thought I  had a cunning plan for marginals in the next election.
It has been done.

No, you'd be a weirdo to say that out in long form.

[Maximus]

Do you say "I took Pennsylvania Turnpike"?

Of course not, but do you say "I took the Interstate 95?"

No, the point is it's not as simple as whether it's a proper noun. My theory is if it contains a number the article is dropped.

In Montreal you say highways by the numbers they are represented.

In Quebec City, you use their actual name.

One of the many ways where we compete.

I dont have to talk about highways alot in english but when I do I always use "the" before the number. (In French too)

It's still the pretentious and the obnoxious.

There's nothing pretentious about it. I didn't know till I moved to Massachusetts that you could do it any other way.  Of course, I also had not heard of bubblers before then so probably more the better.

[CountDeMoney]

Everything from California is the pretentious and the obnoxious. You should know, The Cardinal.
