Although I'm not really into anarchy, I thought I'd do this little
|
|
file for the sake of passing on the information. I also DO NOT
|
|
recommend doing anything in this document. And not all of this is
|
|
very chaotic, but fun all the same. You see, whe you take long train
|
|
rides (like across most of the US), it gets REAL boring sometimes
|
|
(like going thru Iowa, that's when I finished reading "Neuromancer")
|
|
and you start coming up with ideas on how to spice up the train ride.
|
|
That's when I came up wth the following: o There are these balls
|
|
on the seats for the leg lifts which you can take off and use
|
|
for all sorts of things. Like playing hot potato and the loser
|
|
gets busted by the train attendant, practice your juggling, roll
|
|
them down thesles, or take them home for memories. o Using chairs
|
|
as catapults! Boy, they sure had a good snap to them when you
|
|
hit the button. I tested the action with those cheap pillows they
|
|
give you, but it didn't get far. If you use something lighter
|
|
and small- er, I'm sureou could get it airborne. o During the
|
|
night, tie a string to the leg rest lever (mentioned above) of
|
|
someone a couple seats up with a slip knot. And when he (or
|
|
she) goes to sleep, pull the string and bring their peaceful
|
|
sleep (as you can get on a train)o an end, then remove the knot
|
|
and pull the string in! o A fun time I had was with the bathroom
|
|
doors. When the trains pull into stations they must lock the
|
|
doors. So when I went to the toilet I saw that the lock on the
|
|
doors had a hole in it, and it was a simple matter of sliding
|
|
thelock into "IN USE" with a pen (anything sturdy and narrow
|
|
like a pen will do) and locked all of the doors. You could hit
|
|
all the cars in the train like this and watch all the people
|
|
line up! I do think there is some electronic monito on the
|
|
doors, so the engineer can know of they are shut. But you just
|
|
go down and do it again. This can also work the other way.
|
|
Like opening a door of some babe taking a squat or what ever
|
|
tickles your fancy (you get the idea). o The most interesting thing
|
|
I noticed is that there is NO security either personal or
|
|
baggage checks. This means you can walk on a train with
|
|
|
|
ANYTHING you can carry on your self of in a carry-on. So for
|
|
all you real anarchists itcould be a field day! But also a good
|
|
place for terrorism! (Not that trains are big targets, but they
|
|
certainly are easy to get things onto them). And with cut backs
|
|
in budgets, they now staff (from what I saw) one attendant per
|
|
twoo three cars. Although others move through the cars
|
|
randomly, there's always one to stay with those cars. Well,
|
|
that's about it! Remember, long train rides get boring. So bring
|
|
along plenty of batteries, a good book or mags, and this doc...
|
|
|
|
Till next time...
