trapped in an elevator for 41 hours

no, it’s not a picture (from me), nor does it have anything to do with tube amps for subarus.

This week in the magazine, Nick Paumgarten writes about the lives of elevators, and tells the story of Nicholas White, who was trapped in an elevator in New York City’s McGraw-Hill building for forty-one hours. Here is a condensed look at White’s ordeal, as captured by the building’s security cameras.

   Oh, we were just talking about this last week at dinner! I kept interrupting Dane while he was trying to tell the story because I couldn’t help wondering whether a girl would pee outside of or inside of her pants.

   I’m classy that way.

   I would totally lose my shit after 5 minutes.

3. Ken, April 24, 2008:

   well why on earth would you want to pee INSIDE your pants, if you could help it??

4. Kiala, April 24, 2008:

   Because there is a camera INSIDE of the elevator and we have to take off our pants in order to do our bidzness. See? WHICH IS WORSE?

   to me, deciding whether i should show a little skin OR sit for an indeterminate amount of time in my own urine is a no brainer!!!

   then again, i am a nudist at heart.

   thats funny shit…………i would open the doors like he did and piss outside the car….not sure if i could take a crap that way but i probably would try…

7. Ken, April 25, 2008:

   I think I’d just have to pull my pants down to pee. At that point who cares if the video camera catches my naked bum? And besides, sitting in pee pee panties can give you one hell of a rash. I have a kid. I know these things.

   Shit. Comment #7 was me logged on as you too. Damn it all!

   I’m very naked shy.

   Ok, I’m all kinds of shy.

   This is why my twenties were not as fun and carefree as other people’s twenties.

    You didn’t drink enough
