Get laid off,want to check out of life?Go 60 days on Greyhound for $600.

[BrentCrude]

I think an unlimited greyhound pass in the peak summer season is a bit over $700 but it goes down in October and you get 10% off as a first time customer.

Can you imagine just getting on a Greyhound bus and travel for 60 days straight.Maybe stop in a flop house here and there overnight.

Anyone ever buy a pass like this?Great deal for a college kid to see the country.Hell,keep a journal and you probably have a best selling book on your hands.

Brett Favre could do this until someone contacts him to play and he can take the Greyhound.

You know what to see some brand new scenery and landmarks along the way and other stuff once in a lifetime might be cool.

POLICE: MAN STABBED, BEHEADED SEAT MATE ON GREYHOUND BUS IN CANADA

TORONTO -- A 40-year-old man who witnesses said stabbed and beheaded his seat mate on a Greyhound bus in Canada made his first court appearance Friday, while police offered no motive for the savage attack against the 22-year-old carnival worker.

Vince Weiguang Li, of Edmonton, Alberta, has been charged with second-degree murder. He shuffled into the courtroom Friday in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba with his head bowed and feet shackled.

He did not reply when the judge asked him if he was going to get a lawyer, and only nodded slightly when asked whether he was exercising his right not to speak. He was not required to enter a plea.

The prosecutor asked for a psychiatric assessment, but the judge said he wanted to give Li a chance to meet with his lawyer. Li's next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday.

Authorities have not released the victim's name but The Canadian Press said friends had identified him as Tim McLean and said he was headed to Winnipeg after working with the carnival in Edmonton.

William Caron, 23, said McLean was quiet, though he liked to socialize with friends. He was small - about 5-foot-4 and 130 pounds - and tended stayed away from a fight, Caron said.

"From what I hear, this other guy is three times his size," Caron said. "All the time I've known Tim, he's never been the type of guy to get into a fight with. He always kept to himself when there's strangers around."

Friends started a Facebook group called "R.I.P. Tim" after news of the attack.

"He was a great person, he was kind, thoughtful, and he did not deserve this. I feel for his parents and sisters and his lil bro," Jossiee Kehleer wrote on the site.

Witnesses said the victim was stabbed dozens of times in the Wednesday night attack aboard the bus as it traveled a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway about 12 miles from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.

They said the attacker then severed his seat mate's head, displayed it and then began cutting up the body.

Garnet Caton, who was sitting just one seat in front of them, said the suspect had been on the bus about an hour. He initially did not sit near the victim but changed seats after a rest stop. Caton said he did not hear the two speak to each other before the attack.

"We heard this bloodcurdling scream and turned around, and the guy was standing up, stabbing this guy repeatedly," Caton said.

Caton said the driver stopped the bus when he became aware of the attack and passengers raced off. A short while later, Caton said he re-boarded along with the bus driver and a trucker who had stopped to see what was happening.

He said the suspect had the victim on the floor of the bus and "was cutting his head off" with a large hunting knife.

"When he was attacking him, he was calm," said Caton. "There was no rage or anything. He was just like a robot stabbing the guy."

The attacker turned toward them and the three men quickly left the bus, blocking the door as the attacker slashed at them through an opening. Caton said the driver disabled the vehicle after the attacker tried to drive it away.

As the three guarded the door with a crow bar and a hammer, the attacker went back to the body and calmly came to the front of the bus to show off the head, Caton said.

Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh said there had been 37 passengers aboard, many watching a movie when the violence erupted. She called the attack tragic but isolated.

[louisvillekid]

what are you smokin' ? I ain't rode a greyhound in years, the last time was back in the early 90's from Chicago to Louisville, i think it took like 12 hours, we stopped probably 5 times. there is no-way i would ride a greyhound just to ride and see the country, i'd take my chances hitchhiking with god knows who before i did that.

[SBR_John]

Think I'd try to cut my own head off if I ever had to ride in another fvcking greyhound.

See the country? Man those things are uncomfortable beyond believe. You can't sleep but even if you could the night of the living dead passengers would steal something. They make stops all along the way. Meals are basically 7 Eleven microwaves. Seriously... I'd rather walk.

[bmw530i]

haha Monkey Fooker just changed my mind . I remind back in the day taking a greyhound into NYC from the Willowbrook mall.

lol. I was gonna post something close to this. I was gonna say, it may be worth it until you think about who will be on the bus with you.

Took greyhound 7 years from Kali to Texas. Took almost two days, the worst trip in my life. The Bus didn't even felt like it was moving. Plane trip to similar destination only takes only 3.5 hr's. Buying a gas saving vehicle and sleeping at every motel 6 six per state is probably the best way to go if want to fully enjoy a trip around the states.

[bettilimbroke999]

I'm doing it, only $600 for 60 days, what a deal!

Oh by the way, I'm also going to go insane and cut some motherfukers head off around day 30

[Bread]

The beheading story is too much. That should be their motto.."Greyhound, we are working on the beheading deal".

I rode a Greyhound first time ever year and half ago. Atlantic City to NYC. I felt dirty.

[dwaechte]

I actually think this is a really great idea, I don't mind Greyhound's at all and have been trying to go out West for years, never had a car.

[bettilimbroke999]

Quit betting CFL, you'd be driving a corvette by now

[BrentCrude]

You won't see this in a plane!

She has weird legs!Must be either a contortionist,had a Joe Theisman style leg break or born with a birth defect.

I'm amazed greyhound is still in business, seriously who fukin rides the greyhound bus, clearly nothing but absolutely barrelled in psychos who might robot stab ya when you're sleeping

[dwaechte]

I hear ya. I think they do ok with the freight part of the business.

Man when you pass a Greyhound but terminal and see the crowd gathered outside with their luggage waiting for their bus, it reminds you that your life ain't so bad.

so true. but i tend to avoid bus terminals.

you'll also feel better when you see all the coach passengers lining up and wait for you to board first

[Bread]

LOL....Yea it goes full circle. I'm sure the first classers think the same thing about me as I head to the back of the plane.

My bad.

[Willie Bee]

I never understood why a 1st-class passenger even wanted to board first to begin with. When the Mrs. and I have gotten the upgrades, we've waited until all of the double-seatbelters have boarded before we got on.

I have used the BritRail pass when I've gone to the UK and really enjoyed traveling around that way. But I'm not sure I'd want to do the Big Dog Bus across the US of A.

First post of Bread's I enjoyed reading. True if you are feeling depressed go take a look at the poor bastards loading up onto that dusty greyhound for a 1000 mile trip which takes about 3 days

[Bread]

1127 tries! Yes!!!

[bettilimbroke999]

I look forward to 2254

[Bread]

LOL, can't wait buddy.

here is a list of reasons that i compiled

1. not have to line up at the bridge and wait for people to board.
2. get drink service while the rest of the passengers board. you can start boozing so you can sleep the rest of the way.
3. do you like to walk into an empty plane or a plane filled with people?
4. you feel better when you're let to go pass the gate while hundred of people are waiting in line...like the VIP at the clubs get to walk in while other people wait in line.

[Bread]

Kinda awkward though as all the have-nots walk by you and give you glare though isn't it?

Nah, they probably don't care.

I flew first class twice. It's nice. But not worth the extra hundred bucks per flight.

[compaqDikk]

i got a horid viral infection riding one of these that i can't even begin to describe, stuck around a good week. wear a gas mask like they do in Soulele if you're going

[Bread]

I know a guy who worked for the government. He would always tell me that he "sent people on a long busride to nowhere."

I hope it wasn't on Greyhound. That would just be rude.

[RageWizard]

I couldn't do a greyhound unless I had a coma, but if I start of at the east coast, I'm pretty sure that I will be in a coma by the time I see Texas, and when arriving in the Cali area, they could just pour the sand that used to be me out on the highway with a Burger King wrapper and some empty cans of Schiltz.
