If this was posted on a Sat. or Sun. it wasn't likely you saw a working messenger downtown. How do you know it was a messenger? Most of the guys and gals I know who are messengers avoid downtown on their days off.
Dear Messenger who was weaving peds today at Grant & 5th around 5pm
Please contact me via private message.
besides the number of wanabe messengers is vastly larger than the tiny number of actual working messengers left in this city.
left? what happened?
the internet
(slaps forehead) Thanks Steevo.
When triangle shut down nearly 2/3rds of the messenger jobs in the city went with it. And we've lost more since.
When fakengers attack peds
Last time I was in games n'at bill said he still gets the odd call or two from people complaining that one if his messengers just did something to them, be it swerving or screaming or actual running into. Just shows how effective his marketing was.
"My friend, where's your helmet my friend", Bill Jones, my friend.
ahahahahahahaha i loved it when he fired people over the radio while out on helmet patrol!
yeah, he would cruise the streets on that low riding recumbent with his tennis ball looking helmet like a nerdy shark on the hunt for prey. you would be helmetless with a 2pnc to 1mellon and suddenly, "excuse me my friend..". He never had to tell me twice, besides I had much more creative reasons to get fired by Triangle (twice).
