Elon Musk's 'Hyperloop' idea for San Francisco-LA link
US-based entrepreneur Elon Musk has unveiled his proposed supersonic "Hyperloop" transport concept to link Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The SpaceX, Tesla and Paypal founder envisions using magnets and fans to shoot capsules floating on a cushion of air through a long tube.
If it is ever built, a Hyperloop trip between the two California cities would last about 30 minutes, he said.
But Mr Musk says he is currently too busy to develop the project himself.
In a paper outlining the Hyperloop proposal, Mr Musk suggested the solar-powered system would be a faster, safer, less costly, and more efficient mode of transport between Los Angeles and San Francisco than the high-speed train currently under development.
"Short of figuring out real teleportation, which would of course be awesome... the only option for super fast travel is to build a tube over or under the ground that contains a special environment," Mr Musk wrote.

Great, the future of transportation is based on bank drive-thrus and Bloomingdale's Finance Department, circa 1956.
And we already had a thread about this recently when Musk shared the news that he would be announcing news.
Damn you, Mongers.

Forgive him. He's had a fixation on blowjobs since he went out last week, got two blow jobs, and then went back to give one of them to his mate at the pub.

When Grumbler thinks of hijacking, he remembers the day boarding the Roman wine transport off Crete.

It is a joke. :huh:
It is the exact same joke as I would use on anyone who uses the phrase "longest blowjob in history" in a thread title. Sorry if it got your knickers in a twist, but this is Languish and that stuff happens all the time.
As a matter of curiosity, though, what exactly about my comment made it so "low" when you commented not at all on this:

Actually quoting in the whole thing just incase you realize what an ass you were/are and try to change it. ;)

Anti-Timmayism requires no such response. Even Xiacob is anti-Timmay, even though he pretends not to be.

My knickers are entirely untwisted. I was merely indulging in a few male genitalia related puns. It was, in the words of a languish luminary, "a joke".
I suppose it sucked, so I should consider sacking my writer :(

Seedy's poetry (that's a Seedy post, right?) and its context did not invite including the word "blow" in the response, thus there was no need to use "low" to set it up.

A quick glance at his posts confirms your theory.

You wound me sir; I was anti-Timmay before it was cool, before even PDH joined the cause. I just don't indulge much these days since almost everyone's on the anti-Timmay wagon.
I'm the hipster of anti-Timmayism.

As CC noted, the joke is on me. Your wit was so dry it escaped my notice that you were being witty. That's the best kind of dry wit.

Once in a while I manage to pull a fast one, but just as often I end up being the knob.
I really wish you would all just leave grumbler alone and stop shitpiling him.
The shitpile reminds him of the time he spent at the Agoge in Sparta.
Fun times.

It's not entirely your fault. A quick glans wouldn't have shown you the joke, and the continued abuse must have hardened you against us. :( We'll have to shake it off and start again.

Disagree that grumbler is a stalker. He's indifferent to the identity of his targets.
