Oh No! It's finally the end of the line for Poland's Bus to Hel 666

If you’re not familiar with Poland and it’s many tourist offerings, there’s one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest:  The Bus to Hel with the appropriate numbered bus 666.  

The bus has been in operation since 2006 (seems only appropriate) giving rides to those who want to be the envy of their friends and family by bragging they rode the Bus to Hel. The ride itself is probably similar to taking a cross country trip in my parent's station wagon with the faux wood paneling.

Sadly, the good times are coming to an end because the holy water surfing club has been pushing for a while to rename it and they finally got their wish. They felt “it had satanic overtones and that to present the reality of eternal damnation as amusing in any way is just plain stupidity.”

If the Bus to Hell employed Adam Sandler’s awful “Little Nicky” as it’s driver I would say that souls were at risk of eternal damnation because he would make them watch the movie in an endless loop.  

No word on what the new name change will be. If it were up to me, I would they pay homage to Meatloaf’s album, “Bat Out of Hell”and serve Bloody Marys and Flamin' Hot Cheetos to the riders. But that’s wishful thinking.

I was recently reading a BBC article talking about embracing the cozy side of the winter months by wearing comfy pyjamas, wooly socks, sipping on warm drinks, lighting candles, all those Pinterest-style cozycore images you see floating around. The Danish concept, "hygge" gained a new wave of popularity in recent years. It is defined as "a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being." How pleasant is that? Let's raise a warm mug of apple cider to celebrating the simp
