this is something for the ages...
I get a call from the landlady asking me about a bus.
as soon as I hear that I say: \"what bus?\"
\"you don't know?\"
\"no...\"
\"there's a school bus parked outside the house\"
\"are you serious?\"
\"have a look. I think you'll get a kick out of it\"
And sure enough. A school bus has been abandoned outside the house, blocking the front yard entrance.

So is this like... a bus converted into an RV?

more like a junkyard on wheels.

LOL!... no plates, plywood on windows... I guess it's your junkyard on wheels, now. Hey! get that thing registered before you get a ticket, bud!
My wife wants to know where this is... you might have a buyer!

Put a sign on it, \"Please Don't Take My Bus\" and it will be gone by morning.

THat has got to be one of the most random things that one could wake up to see in the front yard.

Hmmm, light it on fire and videotape it.

Ferno, remove all but 2 seats, paint over any words saying school and you can drive that bus with a Class G license.

It's really an amazing stroke of randomness though. Think about the random things that people write about here, some one gets a rat in their kitchen, someone else sees an accident where a random bit of car goes through a bus stop and kills two old ladies...
And Ferno gets a bus. You da man! Ferno it's an omen.
Maybe you are meant to do something with the bus, like turn it into a rolling lan party and go around the country playing Descent with random people.

hahaha. Yeah Ferno - THIS it's what you were ment to do with your life.
You're destiny is not to get hit by a bus, but to one day hit someone else with one lol. You will save us from WW3

All hail Ferno... Receiver of Golden Bus!

Have you tried to see if the stop lights work? If they do you could have fun turning them on and setting them to flash. Especially in the morning when peeps are in a hurry to get off to work. Have someone sell coffee and doughnuts to them as they wait for you to turn off the lights. Oh the possibilities!

For all we know he could be sitting behind the wheel of the that thing. While singing "Wheels on the bus go around, and around" with his Burger King Crown on.
