AMTRAK ANARCHY

Although I’m not really into anarchy, I thought I’d do this little
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…
