Impasse Hiatus Momentary Pause

Came to the realization that short bits of sectional track are not conducive to electricity or good running,

& I'll have to give flex-track another shot. Might neeed a slighty better voltmeter, too.

Decided to try TrainWorld again, so was awake before 1600ET, when they close, & spoke to a nice enough woman who set up a new acc't. for me & e-mailed the link to their form as we were on the 'phone. But it looks as if the pkg. won't be shipped until Tues., due to the holiday.

In other consumption news, I finally got an undamaged USN boxcar from Yankee Dabbler. Only took a couple of months.

Looks nice & rolls well. Certainly worth the US$34.99. Not worth the aggravation!

And the pirates at DoorStepInk have promised me a refund. Not there yet, & "It may take up to 10 days for this refund to appear in your account." Didn't take any 10 fucking days for the money to be taken from my acc't.! (Forget quite when I started this, but the refund did show on 5 July. Thanks again, clowns!)

I have been making good use of my time by getting the two areas that go nowhere fine-tuned again, & decided that amusing as it was to have the stock pen so close to the Yard Cafe & depot, it could be moved.

And the transload facility works better on the other spur as well. Win-win.

Then I realized that as soon as I have the new track laid everything will need fine-tuning again. And once I've bought turn-outs to replace some I bought when I didn't know what I was doing, or would eventually do, another round (theoretically the last🤞🏻) of alteration & adjustment. Gah!

Not to do anything the upper classes would, like set a goal, but having had this for four months less than seven yrs. now, it would be nice to have fully electrified, runnable track & even have glued a structure or two together & slapped it on the layout before Nov. I've had seven building kits, trees, plants, 'phone poles & other details in layout limbo for yrs. Pprobably beat inflation & Fat Boy's tariffs by buying early. Speaking of, even laying track like a dirty 19th-century Irishman beats the hell out of current events. An hr. passes like nothing.

Not Every E-Mail

Friday Afternoon Dance Party

Lively up your pathetically & perpetually lame asses, wretched of the earth!!Or "meditate" on just how horrid & hateful you all are. That should take y'all months, & once you reach self-awareness, I sincerely hope you'll all do the right thing, if you know what I mean, but I doubt you cretins do.

Random Act Of Senseless Spraying

More than 20 people developed sore throats near a luxury department store in Tokyo’s posh Ginza shopping area on Monday after a person allegedly sprayed an unknown substance, Japanese fire department officials said. (AP video shot by Mayuko Ono)

That'll teach the consuming sheep to "shop" in a "posh shopping area". Like, oh I dunno, Rodeo Drive? Hmmm. The Beverly Dr./Rodeo Dr. station should be open in Spring 2027. I will need a better way to get out of the area, however, w/ fucking cameras everywhere, especially in the train stations & trains. I wonder if I can still ride a bicycle. And where I could ditch the bike & change threads. And where to get some of this "unknown substance".

Guessing This To Be Unlistenable

Never heard of him, doubt I will again.

File this under "Whatever It Is, I'm Against It!"

Friday The Thirteenth Finger

Might be robo-generated. Whatever.

Victorious Super Bowl QB Sam Darnold, of the Seattle Seahawks, has a message for you:

Get this,
Fuck that,
I don't owe you fuckers anything,
And all I've got to say is "Fuck you!!"

Rally 'Round The Flag, Boys

Eff most of these people too, & that "Make Iran Great Again" crap. Capitalist pigs whose ancestors overthrew the democratically elected gov't. & installed the shitheel Shah, leading to the religious nuts revolting again, then the hostage crisis &tc., & the Shahs of Sunset coming here to run slums because, like Trump, they are parasitic scum who can't survive w/o sucking the blood of their hosts. Where are your thousands of yrs. of culture now, murderers?

Decimation, Roman-Style

Proportionate Response

The killing of one in every ten of a group of people as a punishment for the whole group (originally with reference to a mutinous Roman legion).

Another example of how wonderful you all are. Anyone calling the police on these murderous thugs? No, they're just squealing on the least among us (me) as chickenshit assholes do. Is "Fuck you all to hell" a terroristic threat? I hope so.

Daily Affirmation

"Is nothing sacred?"

I affirm that NOTHING is sacred!! And the least "sacred" of all? Human life.

Sunday Getaway

Escape While You Can!

Fourteen mins. & 30 secs. you'll never get back.Obsessive? Compulsive? Thorough? Anal? Definitely a different world. Well shot & edited too.

And one must wonder: How much money & time?

And Not In A Good Way ...

Anyone know where the controls for this stupid, stupid planet are? One of the poles, maybe? Himalayas?

Warning, Threat Or Promise?

I promise you: As soon as I have an appetite again & can shove some fuel down my gullet I'll have enough energy to grab a machete (or better) & come after you very deserving people.

From last night, we again see water leaking in the bathroom, five months almost to the day after the leak that had been going on for over a decade was finally repaired. (But only after the fucking ceiling collapsed, & four months since they fixed the hole.) Five fucking months!

The slumlord's first concern is your safety his fucking wallet. He won't be breathing long w/ it shoved down his gullet.

If I am electrocuted, please kill the slumlord for me. As if any one gives a fuck, or isn't a chickenshit hypocrite.

But I don't dare think that death is too good for the slumord, let alone mention it anywhere. Or do I? You won't shut me up, informer! I got a right, & the slumlord, by his actions, has lost all of his rights. Burn the leeches & parasites from the body of the people!!

Local Action

Very inspirational. Cars are much more effective than guns in making a statement that will be long remembered. Impersonal, sure, but that's killing in the age of overpopulation & industrial production.

I will squash you all beneath my wheels like the bugs you are. Vroom! Vroom!!

Oh Look, More "Anti-Semitism"

How Dare They?

Edward Wu / CNN:

Just 23% of Americans say Israeli military actions in Gaza are fully justified, CNN poll finds  —  Americans are increasingly skeptical of Israeli actions in Gaza, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS that also finds rising sentiment that the US should pull back on military aid to Israel.

Al Jazeera:   Is the international community finally speaking up about Israel?

Yes, let 'em make their own ammo, bombs & murder sticks. No, this does not mean that 77% of Americans are Nazis.
(Or does it? Getting hard to tell.)

Tired Of It All Thursday

Turn Me On, Dead Man!

Elephant Tranquilizer, Now!!

Tired of the lies about "superdrugs", too.

Confirmation that a man died after consuming the super toxic drug carfentanil prompted Riverside County health officials Thursday to remind residents to take precautions before consuming any kind of opioid.

[...]

The victim, identified only as a resident in his 40s, died from the drug overdose in March, but extended delays conducting toxicology tests prevented completion of the autopsy until recently, when pathologists verified that carfentanil was the cause, according to the Riverside University Health System.

“Carfentanil was developed for use as a tranquilizer in large animals, such as elephants, and due to its potency, even a minuscule amount can cause a fatal overdose,” according to an agency statement.

[...]

“Carfentanil is 100 times more powerful than fentanyl and 10,000 times more potent than morphine,” the D.A.’s office said at the time. “A lethal dose of carfentanil in humans would be at the nanogram level — much smaller than the two milligrams of fentanyl that can kill. If mixed in with other drugs, the 21 kilos of carfentanil (possessed by the defendant) could have been enough to potentially kill more than 50 million people.”

Compared to fentanyl, carfentanil fatalities are rare throughout the United States. However, the numbers have been creeping up, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. In 2023, there were 29 deaths, compared to 238 in 2024, officials said.

Now I want a million-litre canister of this & a sprayer. Tranquilize you all right into the next world.

You Suck, I Hate You, Please Die!

The lights are on, but nobody's home. 

Up at 1130 to watch the former Bums of Brooklyn play some goobers in Texas (What a shithole.) & issue my annual Easter message of hope, seen above. Bastards. Am I allowed to express my revulsion & disgust at your stupid, stupid species & its literal-minded idiocy w/o a visit from the police? Am I? Is typing I've nothing to live for & am so fucking sick of this 70+ yrs. of non-stop lies & bullshit I want it to end now what triggers you weak sisters? You are absolute fucking sheep who are pathetically easy to manipulate. Take your not-helping-in-the-fucking-least "concern" & shove it up your collective corporate asses!! Then just fucking die already!!

P.S., you inane drones: The first day of Spring was a fucking month ago. Do try to keep up, Jesus ninnies. Even the stars move, you know.

Did I fucking mention how fucking much I fucking hate all eight fucking billion of you? Good. Believe it & shove it.

Pretty, Innit?

Only makes me despise the humanoids screwing the planet at ground level all the more.

I cannot wait until the natural balance is restored by the death of 99 & 44/100ths of your putrid species.
Die, humanoid fauna! The flora needs the fertiizer.

Please Die in Prison, You Rotten Crook

Former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez was sentenced to 11 years in prison for his conviction for accepting bribes of gold and cash and acting as an agent of Egypt. Menendez said he plans to appeal. (AP video: Joseph Frederick, Production: Vanessa A. Alvarez).

Is this the same "Egypt" that sent Fat Boy Trump US$10,000,000? How long are these United Snakes going to put up w/ this bullshit? Fuck y'all & your mummies, Gyppos!!

Toy Train News

A simpler time.

Not that it concerns me in any way, but I am quite amused that Lionel's 125th Anniversary Catalog has been met w/ wide-spread derision by the kinds of people who'd make 20+ minute YouTube videos about it. I watched one, which led to several more in the same vein being recommended. Tell you one damn thing, the prices are outrageous. And Lionel apparently never gets the colors right: "Nagonna order one of these until I see it in a store" is a common refrain.

Should you care, the catalog is just a click away. If you really care, the gripers & complainers. My kind of people. Eff everything, it's all crap. And shame on Neil Young if he still has 20% of Lionel LLC. Google sez he does:

Wikipedia tells another story. The brand's corporate journey is almost interesting, in a morbid way.

ADDED around 1911PT: The catalog is a masterpiece of illiteracy. Can no one read? Does no one check their work? Apparently conjunctions are just out of fashion. And "due" for "do"? Jeebus.

Somebody Doesn't Have The Christmas Spirit Yet

Or is stoppping pointless consumption a positive thing? Could be.Good to use a car, too. Much more efficient, & much easier to obtain than a gun. Course, if you have a gun it's even easier to get your hands on a murdermobile! I know what I'm doing when my time comes.
