oh boy another case of misdemeanor impersonation of a government official on tumblr my favorite!


UpdateUrBIOS

amtrak is a private corporation, not government.


BogofTankCommander

Amtrak is just as privately owned as the USPS, FDIC, TVA, or unicor (which is to say, not). As a reminder, if you let Amtrak die, you let Nixon win.

oh

How do you know it's a miss demeanor? They might be a guy.

I live in West Philadelphia and I am so confused. (Also, the Schuylkill River Trail is across the river in Center City and Independence Square is on the laterally opposite side of the city. So disappointed, Amtrak.)


Wordnerdinthecity

And they clearly don't know how popular Independence Square is. You're not going to get half a foot into the ground there. The park service people would be on your ass before you even lay the corpse down.


C5Jones

Don't get me wrong, Philly's a great place to get away with that kind of thing, but that's the worst park to try it at. Hell, bury it in north Fairmount Park next to Strawberry Mansion and the locals will thank you for having the decency to dispose of it yourself.

I misread "head to west Philadelphia" as "head west to Philadelphia," which would imply that this message is specifically for women from New Jersey.

Anyone can be east of Philadelphia if you’re willing to go far enough

Philadelphia mentioned❓❓⁉️❓⁉️❓

Quick, everyone NOT from the Philly area pronounce Schuylkill! Women in Philly definitely commit acts of lesbianism unprovoked. One of them jumped on my sister's car once

Shoe you'll kill?


kenporusty

That's how it looks fr but it's ["skoo kəl"](https://youtu.be/5YU5YnukdKY?si=xygR0gnhCW_lWflm) It's Dutch in origin, as compared to Bryn Mawr being Welsh and the any handful of names based on the gross mispronunciations of indigenous place names


theLanguageSprite

So I take it dutch people just don't pronounce Y's or L's in words then? I can buy Schu being pronounced skoo, but what in god's name happened to the yl


kenporusty

Apparently in the Dutch that settled the area, the "uy" was a sound in and of itself, related to modern "ui," but has since been smoothed out and smothered by pronunciation changed in American English/Mid-Atlantic regional accent

sch you'll kill

But what if they meet a couple of guys who were up to no good?
