Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

Over-inflated inner tubes.

Yes, if she washed her face I might just assume she has some unfortunate medical condition which has caused her lips to swell grotesquely.

I don’t know how much (if any, but I assume so) work Tammy Faye Bakker has had, but at least she’d look like a normal person without her makeup.

Another example of a plastic surgery victim; Jocelyn Wildenstein, who deliberately set out to look like a cat.

We were in Wenatchee once (in eastern Washington) during a vacation in the area, and there was a train track that isolated an entire section of town. A train got stopped for hours and we had to change our dinner plans because the restaurant we had planned to go to was on the other side and there was no way to get to it. I don’t know how people deal with that sort of thing; I can imagine being trapped if we were on the other side of it. And there are businesses that lose money from it (at least that restaurant didn’t get our patronage).

About the longest trains are 2 miles. 20 minutes suggests it was moving at 6mph. A one mile train would have to be traveling at 3mph: walking speed.

Unless a lot of the delay was clearing the accumulated car traffic jam after the teain had gone.

She wound up looking like Ron Perlman’s mom.

Were you on our YMCA ski trips to Rib Mountain? It was Dan Oelstrom’s job to lead us in shouting “Hey, shut that door! We don’t want any trains in here!”

Why didn’t you climb on top of the train like they do in action movies? It wasn’t even moving, for Pete’s sake.

I probably could have, but not my wife.

That would have made for an awkward wedding anniversary vacation dinner.

:laughing:

That’s why you climb on top of the dining car.

Or the bride of Herve Villechaize.

She works in the dining car. She’s the short order cook.
“The plate, the plate!”

I’d be up there alone.

When cultural issues combine with bad infection control training and limited resources:

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is being gross in his DMs.

Gallego’s friend then shared an insulting meme, writing, “This is how the world views many [Democrats]…” The meme featured a photo of Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro from Connecticut, reading, “If erectile dysfunction had a face.”

“They aren’t wrong!” Gallego replied.

In follow-up messages, he elaborated: “We look like the not fun party. Always telling and correcting people. Not allowing men to be men. Women to be hot. We used to be the party of sec [sic] drugs and rock and roll.”

Gallego also wrote, “Now Dem women look like Dem men and Dem men look like women.”

Bad enough that he was pals with Swalwell. He’s REALLY not making the party look good with this kind of talk.

Or the train is starting-and-stopping or even doing some forward-backward movements or is moving only intermittently…

SIX train lines run through my town. The town exists because of a control tower and servicing station built during the steam era to service freights. We get it all - short, long, fast, slow, weird movements…

A weird train movement would be sideways.

Noisy too.

That’s darn right frightening. Shhheeesss.
