Comments time! Thanks for the good ones, and keep them coming. While you’re at it, are you sick of your cute panda avatar? Why not change it?

Last week’s comment of the week is IHateParis on getting a refund for long Metro delays:

I complained to Metro once when my train was offloaded at Arlington Cemetery (back a few months ago when there were all those rail fires) and we were all left to find our ways home from a station with no buses or taxis — when they could have easily offloaded us at Rosslyn instead. They sent me a free ride ticket for my troubles. It’s a little piece of paper — not a farecard. To use it, you have to show it to the station manager when you enter, so he/she can open the gate for you. Then when you get to your destination, you have to get the station manager to let you out. So far I haven’t found myself with an extra 10 minutes in the morning to deal with this “gift.” Leave it to Metro to make a free ride much more complicated than it needs to be — ever heard of a $1.35 farecard, Metro?

That sucks. After the jump, Star Wars, lead toys, and Temperance Hall, plus the awards for best commenter name and avatar.
