a blog. on a stick.
In the 1960s, American rail companies were falling behind developments overseas, such as the famous Japanese Shinkansen. So how did they attempt to experiment with new high speed rail?
They took a diesel car, gave it a more streamlined nose, and stuck two military surplus jet engines on top.
Awesome.

I think I may have found the finest example of a Youtube comment thread. On the video for ever controversial comic Frankie Boyle’s Most Offensive Jokes (of course, a hilarious video in itself) the following exchange takes place:
MrHeadingley (-9)
Please somebody write something on here which pertains to English. I am skimming Frankie’s videos and am yet to find an intelligent statement from anyone, or from Frankie himself. Frankie Boyle is full of comments for other people: straightforward insults that were funny for about 7 people back in 1976. He laughs at his own jokes and looks painfully nervous; he tries to dominate everything and repeats almost every joke night after night in his stand up. Val Doonican was more entertaining.truemansparks (+1)
Dear Mr headingley the impression i get from your comments makes me think that you are nothing more than a vile turd chewing pile of putrid lizard excrement with the mental capacity of a slow worm on pot,so shut the fuck up you disgusting necrophiliac baboon felcher!p.s how dare you drag Val Doonnican into this his live shows were fucking blistering !!MrHeadingley (0)
truemansparks,
Only one ‘n’ in the middle of Doonican
It helps that the middle comment was the first I saw, which made the sudden leap from foul-mouthed invective to a passionate defence of Val Doonican all the more entertaining. And MrHeadingley’s comeback is exquisite.
My new mission: To write a short article on ticket stubs. Then I can put at the bottom “this stub-related article is a stub”
Wow, has it really been that long since I posted?
Anyway, this post is going to be about stupid things I see on Twitter. And I’ll update it over time. GO!
