    Update on Casper's Trip to Vegas
    Casper wanted me to let you all know that he'll be MIA for a bit. At one of the stops in Missouri, he got off the bus to get something to drink. The bus took off without him, and apparently, Greyhound has no way to contact their drivers once the buses are on the road.

    Greyhound was supposed to grab his stuff for him at the next stop and set it aside for when he arrived (on the next bus). Everything was stolen - laptop, clothes, birth certificate, social security card. His cell phone charger was in his bag, so his battery on his phone is low.

    He'll be in Vegas... but probably not as a friendly ghost.

      So when did the train trip become a bus trip?

      Hope Casper is well.

        Thats some bullshit... We took a bus to NYC for $1 and my boy got left in Pennsylvania accidentally while we were passed out. He talked to the Greyhound guy at the stop and they called the bus and the bus guy pulled over and waited for our boy to get dropped off by a cab....

            Find it very hard to believe that Greyhound has no way to contact their drivers once the buses are on the road.

                  This sucks but no way to contact their bus drivers? That can't be......at the very least I would think the bus drivers have CELL phones....

                    I can never forget when I was in college on my way out from the airport in St. Louis. We decided to stop in East St. Louis for gas at 11 pm. I have never been scared in my life as I was that night. The gas station had bulletproof glass on the cashier and you have to slide the money underneath the glass. We finally made it out of the gas station only to be pulled over by the cops. With guns drawn they approached the vehicle to check my license and I felt I was being filmed for the next episode of "Cops". Horrible place to stop for gas or get pull over by cops.

                          I just flew from England and I accidentally drove for 1/4 of mile on the left side of the street.

                            He won't be able to check in the room without any ID or credit card. Is this story true?

                                  He was able to find a phone charger during his layover.

                                  Even school bus drivers have some kind of contact between buses. I find it hard to believe that a county run operation has a better means of communication than a national system.

                                        Guess if they are going to make up a bullshit story, they should get the mode of transportation correct.

                                          He opted to take the bus because of the schedule.

                                                  Thanks Deuce. I will never stop for gas in Detroit either. Here in the South we are not that picky.

                                                    Yeah I figured gas stations where the attendant is behind glass were pretty common. They're definitely prevalent in Milwaukee and Madison.

                                                                    A) Poor guy missed the bus at that small bus terminal in Missouri, which led to his getting robbed, Longshot theory since he confirmed being on a train yesterday and i believe he mentioned the price of the Train ticket, you dont change plans when your already on the train with a full paid ticket.

                                                                    B) He wont show up to the bash, never was going to, just made up this train story to save face over saying he would be there for sure.

                                                                    C) He will be at the bash,telling about his terrible trip getting there and how he got robbed of all his cash and try to work some posters for cash, someone whos talented can probably get 3k.
