Who Needs a Cab Between Noon and 8pm? A Meditation

Tylenol, the drug, will offer free cab rides in the City of Boston from November 17 to November 23, leaving from various convenient CVS locations. It's a promotion for Tylenol's new creepily named product, Warming Liquids. The catch? The rides are only available from noon to 8 p.m., an inconvenience that prompted the following exchange at Bostonist HQ:

Bostonist 1: Who needs a cab between noon and 8pm?

Bostonist 2: Think they'll go to Eastie?

Bostonist 1: It says "anywhere in Boston" [on the press release]. I think you should take this cab to Eastie just to publish a photo of the cab driver's unwilling and furious face on Bostonist.

Bostonist 3: I could see peeps wanting to take a cab home vs. the subway at 5pm-ish.

Bostonist 1: Except that it would take twice as long?

Bostonist 4: But it would be free and your face wouldn't be mashed in some dude's armpit.

Bostonist 1: You must be taking different cabs than I have been taking.

Bostonist 5: There are cabs where you're mashed in some dude's armpit?

Bostonist 1: Metaphorically, yes.

Bostonist 3: Metaphorically? Like, we are all being mashed in the armpit of the divine or something?

Bostonist 4: Can we post this conversation?
