Memes, Trains, and Memes About Trains

Formerly known as the International Strange Things Exposition, we (read: I) have since rebranded to reflect the slower volu-meme-tric inflow of posts. Also because the old name was getting stale and I'm pretty sure I saw mold starting to grow on it. But anyways, feel free to enjoy this clusterfuck of a blog.

I wonder if Neil’s owner/s know about how we celebrate the date of that photo

Neil himself is long gone from this world, and yet every April 13th this group of internet strangers come together to celebrate him and his act of banging out the tunes. Like an entire holiday, all for this little guy

Ooh! Spot the industrial safety device! The worker has to press a 'stab the cheese' button with both hands. This is because if they're doing that, neither of their hands can be within the cheese stabbing zone.
