My Favo(u)rite Word

For those of you who don't know, I've always loved the word Queue. It has one consonant and 4 vowels, even more when it comes in the form of "Queuing". It sounds like a letter. It sounds "fancy" (better than "Line starts here"). I still remember the MST class about queues and servers, with gas stations and airports: FIFO, FILO, LILO, LIFO... That day was also my first experience with it being dark at 4pm!

Here's a good article.

I should have been an Imagineer or go back to studying Bus Bunching...

Imagineer? That's almost as made up as a transportation synthesist. But at least you would be an independent transit analyst.
