GM's thread about nothing (24 Viewers)

Raiderette loves the train too.

Anyone ever go cross country or on a 48 hour plus train ride. Amtrack seems to have bedroom suites for the la-chi leg. 43 hours. :mellow: and then another 15-20 or so to get to NC where grandpa lives.

Seems like it might be fun. See the country all that.

Thoughts
We took the Orient Express from Bangkok (heehee) to Singapore in 2008, a three-day and two-night trip. Complete luxury, with a personal butler who, among other things, left a bottle of champagne in our refrigerator every time we left the cabin.

####### hated it. Do not do this.
So would you say that you, too, love a good train ride?
No, I would say the opposite of that.
Lazy innuendo aside, did you seriously hate it? Because it sounds incredible.
 
Proper work dump etiquette

1. Mercy flush.

2. If you crap for more than five minutes more than once a day, crap in different bathrooms.

3. Once in a while, bring a newspaper to work. When you get to the office, slide the sports page under one stall and the rest under the other. If there are three stalls, put the funny pages under the third stall door.

4. Don't make a tp nest. Use the MDJ or make a small dong protector.

5. No cell phone use except for Internet. If you make a phone call from the John it had better be an empty bathroom and a friend who would understand hearing a flush in the background because I will flush repeatedly until you hang up or leave.

6.if the stalls are full, leave. Don't wait. This isn't a ####### mall parking lot at Christmas. If you have to ####, #### elsewhere.

7. If someone else starts wiping just as you are ready to start wiping, wait and let them finish. Wipe while they wash.

8. This is because you never make eye contact with a fellow ####ter. Ever.

9. And don't go peeking through that crack in the door either. They can see you and it's weird.

10. And please, if it's a serious ####, mercy flush.

Yeah, that was the plot twist. It sounded amazing, but really, being on a train for three days (even though we had stops to see some neat places) is awful no matter how "luxurious". It's confined, uncomfortable, awkward to be with these same damn people all the time, and sleeping is nearly impossible for someone like me who can't sleep in the best of circumstances. Mr. krista termed it "The Rolling Sad".

 
I took the train to work nearly every weekday for 8 years. I learned that trains are awesome means of transportation that provide you with fantastic opportunities you never get while driving, like reading, paying bills, installing Netflix, etc.

I also learned that more than 45 minutes on a train at 1 time starts to suck the enjoyment out of a train ride. And to not get so drunk that you might pass out on the train and ride it until you wake up in a dark train in the yard at the end of the line. Or improbably worse, ride it all the way out of the city to the end of the line, then all three way back into the city, only to wake on a dark train in Union ####ing Station.

:lmao:

Took a train from San Francisco to Portland a few years ago which departed late at night. Got completely smashed beforehand, passed out as soon as I took my seat. Some guy woke me up a few hours later saying I was snoring obnoxiously loud. :bag:

Jerks like me probably make train rides unbearable.

 
I'm trying really hard to stay out of that sprint car thread but it's tough not to mercilessly mock the speculation, ad hoc reasoning and armchair psychoanalysis. Fortunately HF is performing beautifully.

One of the biggest offenders early on is a guy I don't think I can mock.
But Tanner can.
 
So softball tonight. 8 of the 12 guys on the team smoke, I usually go through 5-6 a night when I play, my kids weren't there (I've never smoked in front of them), and since it was a tournament tonight we had a break of about an hour between two games where everybody just stood around and smoked and drank beer. I still managed to resist the urge to light one up. Day 9!

Quitting is ####### hard. Especially when booze is involved. It's such a stupid habit though.

I bring this up a lot, but when I quit smoking, I transferred the price of a pack of cigarettes from checking to savings every day to represent what I didn't buy that day. It adds up fast.

This is day 64 of being alcohol-free for me. If you guys knew me in real life 65 days ago, you'd never have believed it.

That is really awesome frosty!! Keep it up!!

 
YSR named her kid after Yuke. I'm just going to chalk this up to her ongoing obsession with everything bentley. I sure could go for some Doritos right now.
