  1. God says:

    What, no Amy Winehouse or economy reference?

    It was actually delivering the health care reform bill, methinks…

  2. Czernobog says:

    The correct answer to all those grade-school math questions.

  3. The Almight Chan says:

    Wow, I’m so glad I don’t live anywhere near trains now. Knowing my luck this would happen. -_-

    • livesneartrains says:

      This actually happened near me. I think I might even know who took this picture.

      Ironically, it happened in the 70s or early 80s, so there were no cell phones and no text messaging.

  4. viking gal says:

    I’m still trying to figure out how on earth anyone could think that they can drive and text at the same time… But my brain is just too logical.

    • froofrou says:

      I could when I had a phone with raised keys because I didn’t have to look at the phone at all. Kind of like when I type on a keyboard. But now, with my touch phone, I leave texting at the house :-) I can’t tell where the damn keys are.

      • Eric-in-STL says:

        Heh, I am an EXPERT at texting-while-driving. Nobody believes me. Most of it is done at red lights, but even if it’s not, I’m a very careful texter. For some reason people don’t like me to drive.

        • the_original_shortright says:

          i text quite a bit when i drive… LOTS of red lights around where i live. and they’re not 30 second lights, they’re 2-3 minute lights. unfortunately, the city of cleveland made it illegal to text and drive. i’m trying to figure out if it’s also illegal to text while sitting at a red light for what feels like an eternity, but i’m not sure if i want to tempt the CPD bastards…

          • charro says:

            ZOMGWTFBBQ You’re from Cleveland?

            • the_original_shortright says:

              i can tell you don’t pay attention to the FB networks. :)

              i’m an east side suburbanite… but yes, cleveland.

              • charro says:

                Now why would I do that, shortright?

                And, I was once told everyone from Cleveland has herpes. Is that true? ;-)

                • the_original_shortright says:

                  because you loooooooove me? ;)

                  uuuum, maybe on the west side? i know a few people who have gotten other STD’s (the type that a shot of penicillin can clear up) but i don’t know anyone with herpes… i know a nurse who used to work at cleveland clinic who has HIV. but i’m gonna have to go with “not true” on all clevelanders have herpes.

        • livesneartrains says:

          You’re right, I don’t believe you.

  5. Ray says:

    Oh look, somebody got the Train Car brush for their photoshop. How cute

    • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

      Its called a bridge collapse. As you can tell by the guy who’s actually standing under the part that’s not collapsed, just FUBAR in the top left hand corner.

    • livesneartrains says:

      If you think this was shopped, I have a bridge to sell you (see picture above).

  6. Captain Wow says:

    *texts ZOMG I’M DRIVING A FCUKING TRAIN*
    *smashes train off the tracks*
    *loses her job*

  7. Rax says:

    Is there a similar site that isn’t controlled by a democrat?

    • pittypat says:

      Yes, that’s right, a demonic demented democratic devil is controlling every word, nay, every letter I type!!

    • Igor the Vigorous says:

      Ron Paul wasn’t a Democrat, and an LOL suggesting he’d read the constitution was up a day or so ago.
      Learn to read.

      • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

        I’m staring at the picture…. and the caption veeery hard, and well..
        *squints, grunts and squints harder, suddenly blows a blood vessel*
        F*CK! I cant see the partisanship that forced that retard to send me on a partisan hunt that resulted in my seeing eye getting busted!!!

        • Rax says:

          Forest for the trees. Or maybe its myopia from looking out through only your one “eye”. Answering the question instead of using insulting responses would have represented your views much better. But thanks for the comment anyway.

          • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

            You’re the one seeing things that aren’t there. Find a partisan thread is my point. If you weren’t smart enough to catch that point, or smart enough to know that we’ve covered the fact that PK’s lols are chosen by the population, not the admins, OR smart enough to see hyperbole when it bites you in your face, well…. then good day sir.

            • Deep Thought says:

              The train clearly veered left when it should have stayed straight.
              What are you, blind?

              Fu(king lefts!!!!!

              • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                *headdesk* My god… I was so foolish, how could I have missed THAT!
                Its still old news… and old hash doesn’t smoke right.
                But that you, for that insight, since Rax could only redirect and not answer my question…

                • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                  Thank you…. not that you.. I’m not sure how I could “that you”.

                • Rax says:

                  I might be inclined to answer you question, after you have answered my original, which was quite clear a simple request for information not a request for schooling, wrong schooling at that.

                  Since it is unlikely that I could ever convince you, I would instead challenge you instead. Watch the pictures of Obama and find a few that are particularly anti-obama in nature (no pecker jokes), one that if it was Bush, a Democrat would find very funny.
                  Watch and see if those consistently make or don’t make it to voting and then decide for yourself.

            • Rax says:

              I’m more than smart enough to put 2 and 2 together. You choose to only see one side, the one you want.

              You find it inconcievable that there is filtering, yet not every caption that is made makes it to voting. Why? By your explaination, it voted upon captions must be allowed by random chance leaving a potentially great one missed.

              Its much more likely that the missing captions are filtered out, but you can’t see that because you are too busy writing ignorant comments.

              • slan agat says:

                What a phenomenal ass you’re making of yourself.

                Every caption that’s submitted as well as saved is sent to voting. I don’t know exactly how long they remain, but every one is sent, usually about 15 minutes after it’s made. I’ve seen tons of anti-Obama submissions; they’re usually crass if not obscene insults with no actual humor to them at all. (I have also voted down countless anti-Bush submissions that were just plain stupid and not funny; I’m a bipartisan curmudgeon.)

            • Rax says:

              Actually, its because I’m not seeing things that should be there.

              Since you see the things you want, your belief remains that all must be right. How can PK’s be choosen by the populace if they never go to vote? It must be done by the populace that registers to vote, then based on their voting decisions are brought into the secret society of elite that choose which to put up for vote.

              But I guess that you are just stuck in the endless loop of incorrect information that meets your agenda.

              On the positive side though, you will get to keep spouting your propaganda each and every caption.

              • Eric-in-STL says:

                He’s got me. My naptime LOL from the other day is nothing more than my attempt to further my naptime at work agenda. I feel shame. *hangs head…falls asleep*

              • eddiepscetti says:

                If you have proof that the voting is otherwise, please share. While we may not all agree with what is worthy of being posted, the fact remains that we have no concrete eveidence to the contrary. Further to this, we don’t even know how many people are actually registered since that isn’t shown anywhere, so how do you know how many are voting?

                • Rax says:

                  Let’s go with a very simple one. About 2 weeks back, they had several pictures from the beer summit, one of which was Obama, Gates and Crowley extending their beers out for a together in the center of the table.

                  I captioned this something like “the only thing meeting in the middle of this conversation is the beer.”

                  Certainly not the best one made and should not have made it to the main screen, but I never saw it in voting and it currently has 0 votes according to the PK records.

                  I have several like this and several that recieved quite a few votes.

                  The question becomes where did it (they) go? And where do others go that I see in the captions left by others?

                  • eddiepscetti says:

                    Ok, let’s redefine this.. when you went to the ‘See Other Captions’, was your’s there? I still maintain that the votes you see in your profile are not the same as the votes received in voting. Does that make sense?

                    • Rax says:

                      Yes, they were there as were some that I thought were extremely good and I wanted to vote on them but they never surfaced.

                      and I will be happy to accept that this site supports multiple counts of votes that report to different places for different reasons and have nothing to do with each other. But all that does is again defeat the idea that this site is absolutely run uniformly and without bias.

                      Furthermore, I have seen nothing other than this groups assumptions and comments on how the site is operated. I think that its content suits their beliefs and no other opinion is tolerated.

                      • eddiepscetti says:

                        Ok, be that is it may, I am but one of the few Republicans here and it’s widely accepted that this site has a left leaning bent to it. Either you accept it or move on, because in my time here (at least 18 months) that hasn’t changed. Nor do I think for a minute it’s going to.

                      • slan agat says:

                        No, the different vote counts do not reflect any bias at all. There are two different vote counts, but they’re for different purposes.

                        The number of votes (0) you saw there are rating votes, the evaluation system of 1-5 Lincolns at the top of every picture. You have no votes because no one bothered to rate your caption in that way.

                        The voting for front page is not based on the 1-5 rating. It’s a straight up/down, yes/no, win/fail. When a caption is in voting and you vote it up or down, you’ll see afterward that the thumbnail of it has a +{number} or -{number}; that shows how many more people voted win than fail (or fail than win). High-plus captions go to Upcoming or straight to the front page by a selection system that hasn’t been made clear, but the final tally is not preserved in a publicly visible way.

                  • eddiepscetti says:

                    Also, you have no idea how many votes your pic actually received during voting because it isn’t shown.. anywhere..

      • Rax says:

        Its not that all the ones saying positive things about some Republicans are skipped, but the lack of the good negative ones about Democrats (except penis jokes) that make it to voting.

        Clearly, there is some filtering going on.

        • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

          Clearly, you’re in the wrong thread… find a partisan one to start this debate…. AGAIN… because we’ve never heard it before, or talked extensively about it… EVER.

          • Rax says:

            Its hard to find a partisan one when they 1. don’t make it to voting and 2 because they don’t make it to voting, don’t make it to the main page.

            And you are wrong yet again as I have had this conversation with you before and this time you are just as demeaning and bullheaded as before.

        • slan agat says:

          I see plenty of negative alleged-lols about Democrats in voting. They’re uniformly bilious, vitriolic and unfunny, hackneyed mudslinging entirely void of humor. If a funny one ever came along I’d vote it up out of pure shock.

          • slan agat says:

            (And I’m sure it’s pure coincidence that the bitter and nasty ones never have the captioner’s name on them.)

          • eddiepscetti says:

            Dang, you must have missed mine then.. I always claim ownership!

            • slan agat says:

              Ed, yours are not uniformly bilious, vitriolic and unfunny. You make a real effort at humor instead of taking cheap partisan shots for their own sake.

          • Eric-in-STL says:

            Oops, didn’t see slan’s post here. I just said almost the same thing.

          • Rax says:

            Perhaps if they made it to voting you might get a chance.

            For example, this particular caption has 53 captions made from it. For the past 4 weeks, I have voted at least 6 times per day and i know that I did not vote on this picture more than 30 times. Where did the rest go?

            Another example is that I have been making captions and have quite a few that have zero votes (not a score of zero). Given this crowd, I would have expected a windfall of negative votes (but at least they would be votes).

            Its hard to imagine this entire crowd just letting it pass.

            • eddiepscetti says:

              Ok, look, to be fair I have been creating lols for over the last year and a half and not one of them has made it to the front page. Sure, I may personally feel that mine are much better (and have been told as such) but if other people think differently, so be it. I have had some people favorite my lols, and that suits me just fine. I don’t need the adoration of other PK’ers to build up my self-esteem. As for the voting, I know that some I have made did show up, where as other’s didn’t. That doesn’t mean that they weren’t voted on though. Oh, and for the record, I don’t believe the votes that show on the lol in your profile are the same as the votes that get tallied through the voting process. But I could be wrong on that score. I just know that some of mine that did show up in the voting still had no votes in my profile.

              • Rax says:

                Good, bad or neutral, is a matter of taste. Where did those you post but did not go for voting go?

                If it is as this group would like to profess, then only the computer touches them as all should make it to the voting process (time frames taken into account)

                Its a vote for a favorite but not really a vote unless the vote is done in voting and then it may not count as a vote in the votes tally that is displayed. This process seems like it either came from Florida or Iran.

                In any case, given this type of information I fail to see how anyone could catagorically proclaim that beyond a shadow of doubt, filtering is not possibly an option.

                The funny part is that all I was trying to do was find one that didn’t sound like the democrat version of fox news, not debate the appropriateness of this sites actions in filtering. It’s their site and they are welcome to run it as they see fit.

                • eddiepscetti says:

                  To be honest, I don’t know why some show up on voting and others don’t. I know that the last 10 I have posted showed up in voting, but that’s only because I was looking for them. From what I have heard, there’s about a 15 minute time frame between when you create a lol and when it shows up on voting. Give it a try and see if it works for you. A word of caution though, don’t get upset when you see a negative vote. It doesn’t mean it was bad, it just means that other people may not have the same sense of humor as yourself.

                • eddiepscetti says:

                  Ok, I took a look at your lols and I can tell you that some of those I have seen and voted on. And, if you look at the upcoming, you will that your one with the muchroom cloud is there. So out of 30 lols you have made, you get one that made it to upcoming. I’d say that’s pretty good odds. Although, it still doesn’t mean your’s will make it to the front page.

                • eddiepscetti says:

                  Now, with all of that, I’m done.. g’night I’m outta here!
                  -
                  p.s. – Feel free to click on my name if you want to see some of mine. Not all are that great, but they made me laugh.

        • Eric-in-STL says:

          I see tons and tons of negative Democrat LOLs in the voting. However, they’re usually not funny and don’t do well in the voting. There does seem to be some left-leaning in general with the voting base here, but there just aren’t enough funny ones about Democrats. Sorry, dude. But thanks for the comment anyway.

    • bitter troll says:

      simple answer Rax, this site lets the public vote on the ones we want to see on the front page. the more votes, the more likely it will appear on the front page. as for a lack of obama lol’s, its because he lacks the goofy antics of the last president. really unless its a hate “lol” its kinda hard to make one about him, you will find biden ones, and alot more in the future, cause he seems more like the drunken uncle we all had

    • livesneartrains says:

      Yeah, that’s why there’s so many Hillary and Pelosi jokes on this site. Please.

      Obvious troll is obvious.

  8. Spider says:

    I’m not cleaning that… Bob will…

  9. Lolnathan says:

    Too soon? Too late.

  10. eddiepscetti says:

    In the shuffling madess
    Of the locomotive breath,
    Runs the all-time loser,
    Headlong to his death.
    He feels the piston scraping –
    Steam breaking on his brow –
    Old charlie stole the handle and
    The train wont stop going –
    No way to slow down.

  11. Cosman246 says:

    If you don’t talk to them about texting, who will?

  12. Silver Turtle says:

    Sorry to interrupt everyone’s little party here — but I believe the webmaster asked “What’s happening in the picture?”

    All these fart jokes and political posturing is not germaine to the question. To all those who attempted to honor the request, thank you.

    Besides — Where I live this happens about 3 times a week [CSXT tracks]

  13. Eric-in-STL says:

    That is offensive. Being offended gives me a funny feeling…

  14. Eric-in-STL says:

    That’s what he was yelling about. I think. All this talk about boobies has me all confused. :(

  15. charro says:

    Oh, I thought he was looking at our homemade port again. My bads.

    Boobies!

  16. Eric-in-STL says:

    Talking about boobies has confused you too. It affects everyone!

  17. charro says:

    I like boobies. *glances down* Woohoo! Boobies!

    What were we talking about?

  18. Eric-in-STL says:

    That must make things easy, liking boobies and then carrying a pair around. Convenient.

  19. charro says:

    It is pretty convenient now that you mention it.

  20. Bitter's Chef says:

    Yea!! Boobies!
