    How to ride the bus like a winner

    Dress appropriately. Wear your finest gambling hat and trenchcoat. Be sure to apply copious amounts of your chosen fragrance to mitigate the oft times unpleasant smells on the bus.

    While at the bus stop, keep your eyes on the ground as there tends to be many loonies and toonies, even bills, at stops. Folks are always digging into their pockets for tickets or change in this location and inevitably lose cash. About 20% of the time, I find a toonie and sometimes a fiver.

    The bus arrives. Be sure you are the first to board. Others must wait for you as you are a winner. Do not submit to the sheepish types in their little line.

    Look the driver straight in the eyes and stare for a long 5 seconds. Then pay. This establishes you as the one with power. If you pay him without a good hard stare, he will use this against you in future. The driver should be intimidated by you. He is not successful like you. Remind him of that with your hard stare of contempt.

    If there are any minorities (particularly young Blacks) on the bus, you should seriously consider foregoing the ride and await the next bus, time permitting. You will have to demand your money back though and such is never pleasant. If you must ride this particular bus, do not make eye contact with said minorities and keep your hands in your pockets, clenching your wallet, keys, other valuables as you walk by them. Always pack some heat when riding in case the scumbags chimp out and threaten your safety.

    Ideally, you want to sit at the back of the bus to keep all action in front of you at all times. Your vision is your friend. Utilize it to your advantage.

    If you luck out and get the entire back end of the bus to yourself, retain ownership of the whole space by coughing violently (exaggerating flem accumulation) whilst grabbing your throat (as if in pain) whenever anyone approaches your end of the bus at a stop. You want to keep this space as sort of your protective bubble.

    Always be mindful of opportunities. Sometimes backpacks, purses, dollarama and/or grocery bags, etc are left carelessly in the aisle or on a seat by a distracted or sleepy passenger. Do not forget to survey the activities of passers by on the streets and sidewalks. There could be money making opportunities at any given turn or bus stop. Pay strict attention!

    Once you decide to depart the bus, do so with your head held high and insist on leaving through the front door. This will guarantee that all passengers observe your majesty and leadership and will earn you great respect the next time you choose transit.

    That has its own challenges actually - I remember one time having to ride the Blue Line back from Suffolk Downs with a ton of cash on me after a big day at the track... I was fukkin paranoid the whole time and couldn't wait to get out of the train. My mind was convinced that the other riders could see through my pockets and knew I had all that $$$ with me

    Mathy, will not make it (change in plans). Serendipity and fate have smiled upon yours truly. I have 11 cases of quality paper, a guillotine and a colour printer that is consistently doing one helluva job copying 20s. My weekend plans have changed.

    I'll be there to photograph the festivities from a distance. No dice on the hat, it goes with me everywhere.

    You have not yet earned the right to question me. I was already a legend while you were still swimming around your daddy's balls.

    Dubya, I knew you were a respected pony man and that in some southeast Asian circles, so I am told by that needle dick Pico, go by "the lone colt," but I had no idea!

    And if you're unable to follow Buzzy advice but still want to be a winner on that bus, wait for the cool bus to arrive at your stop, even if it means waiting an extra hour
