I’ve Been Shavin’ On The Railroad, Slicin’ Pubes Away. I’ve Been Shavin’ On The Railroad, Even Though I Didn’t Pay
No disrespect to any of you who might be so inclined, but shaving your pubes with a kitchen knife sounds a little weird to me. But even if I can accept that this sort of grooming might be a thing, are there not better places to engage in such a pastime than a train bathroom? …
I Take On This Same Train Every Week
I saw this a few months ago but kept forgetting to post it…which is a terrible oversight since it has two themes we looove: people having close calls with trains, and the idea that something crazy happened to a person again, and it’s mentioned in the headline. It says here that at the beginning of …
How Do You Say OMG Under A Train TTYL In German?
If it wasn’t for the potential for damage to innocent vehicles and for unnecessary trauma being inflicted on folks acting like properly adjusted human beings are supposed to act in the world, I’d say to hell with these morons and their stupid phones, who cares if they die?

Via Rail Unmanned Stations Update
Steve’s Via Rail post from the other day got me thinking, and worried, and when that happens, I do what I always do…pick up the phone and bug the powers that be. Here’s how it went. The first lady I got was about half past useless. She told me she didn’t know for sure if …

Long Weekend Audio: Caboom!Cast
The urge struck us to do some more audio, so here we are. We had a lot of fun doing this one. It started with me not saying go at the right moment. Woops. Welcome to me not being a good record button-pusher. Then we just rambled about the awesome weather, the Blue Jays winning …
You Stupid, Stupid Kids!
Ug. Just…seriously. Say these kids are young all you want, but that’s no excuse. Us smart ones had this train shit nailed down at the exact moment mom and dad taught us about looking both ways for cars. The thought process went a little something like this: Oh damn, those things move fast. Ok, I’ll …
