Who coined the phrase catching the bus or the whole bus references, anyhow? I mean I know I could just Google it, but maybe there's more to it. I haven't got anything against buses, i prefer buses over trains in most instances, seriously. not trolling either by posting this, it's just such a interesting turn-of-phrase.

Hey Guest,
As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

Security update: At around 2:28AM EST, the site was labeled as malicious by Google erroneously, causing users to get a "Dangerous site" warning in most browsers. It appears that this was done by mistake and has been reversed by Google. It may take a few hours for you to stop seeing those warnings.
If you're still getting these warnings, please let a member of staff know.
It's kind of an old reference, it's been used on old bulletin boards since the early 2000s.

On a personal note I remember reading some excerpts from an autobiographical book written in 2004 by Sam Paul, called "Why I committed suicide", that contains the line "My only difficulty there was getting up at the ungodly hours they start work and finding a ride or catching the bus out to the store". Don't know if it has anything to do with the genesis of this euphemism, though.
