Reminds me of when we would play "Smear the Queer" in grade school at recess in the politically incorrect 1970's. One person would run around with a Nerf football and everyone would chase and tackle them. Once down, they would toss the football and whoever caught it was the new 'queer' who ran around. Sometimes piles of kids would form on the queer after he was tackled, the dreaded "N***** Pile". Sometimes someone emerge from a N****** Pile with a bent wrist or dislocated shoulder. Then the frumpy middle aged matron teacher would say "boys, no.....piling!".

Those were the days, though i was taking part in those shenanigans during the '80s.

Did you call it "Smear the Queer"? And were there "N***** Piles"?

I ask because many people haven't heard of it, it seemed to be unique to the southwest Chicago suburbs, but I don't have many data points.

Another thing prevalent in the 1970's was kids doing impersonations of the "Roots" television special. It went like this "Toby! (whack!) No, Kun-ta-Kin-teh!" "Roots" was a made for TV series where southern slave owners spent all their time beating on their expensive new investments (African slaves) like rental cars....

So... who's hungry?

Fucking hell, those poor people.

Absolutely unbelievable that this most preventable ridiculous shit happens. Unfuckingreal. It’s just maddening. I mean I understand underdeveloped countries unfortunately lack safety systems/rules/regulations to protect people, mostly due to corruption I guess. They’d rather collect money than follow safety rules to protect passengers.
Very disturbing.
Wonder if anyone tried to stop the person from...cooking on that rickety piece of shit train.

What a fucking asshole though. I bet they had some edible food that didn’t require cooking, they could have eaten to calm the hanger pangs.

I wonder if the victims who were able to jump out of the moving train were from other cars and not this one. I mean for the guy at the window to be in the position...it looks like he was just chillin, looking at the scenery or napping and then wham bam poof charcoal in an instant. How would anyone in that car have a chance to jump thru the window??

Does anybody else see a cat's head hanging out the window
