Diamonds are Forever
As of this morning, certain GTA highways are now equipped with that most obvious of traffic-lightening methods, the carpool lane, but not everyone thinks it’s such a good idea.
As for us, we fondly remember waking up to Metro Morning’s weekly serial The Diamond Lane on Wednesday mornings in the mid-’90s, and we are disappointed that these new carpool lanes are being dubbed HOV lanes. It will always be a diamond lane to us. Plus, High Occupancy Vehicle sounds ridiculous. Since we’re kind of bored today and we love a good acronym game, entertain us with all the better things HOV could stand for. Like… Horrific Ornery Vaughan.
By the way, the original reason for this post was to make some joke about blow-up dolls in passenger seats, but now we can’t think of one. Feel free to have at it in the comments, though.
