Over the last few weeks I’ve ridden on a train for approximately 80+ hours. As I write this, I’m about to embark on the last ten hour leg of train travel, at least for a few weeks. With all of this time on my hands, I definitely have taken the opportunity to read, to try out never-before-seen sleeping positions, and to think. Below are a few of the thoughts that have gone through my head while aboard an Eastern European train.
- “Awkward” is itself, awkward.
- I think God laughs when he grants every child’s wish to touch the sky, and then the adults complain about the fog.
- I want to learn how to describe cheeses.
-
How sure are we that the pyramids aren’t just well-hidden, one-side-lacking, upside down dreidels? The Jews did help with construction.
- Yelling “fire” in a crowded theater probably wouldn’t elicit more than a budge from people. Think about car alarms. Those don’t cause alarm.
- If adolescents smoke marijuana on the way to school, does it become a school of higher learning when they’re in class?
- Business idea: Find a way to copyright an already in use card game requiring a standard 52 card deck.
- My argument against vegetarians: Chickens. They are born to be eaten. Look at them. It’s meat on two sticks.
- In a naïve, simplistic understanding of the word, are masochists inherently in favor of capital punishment?
- The animated version of The Velveteen Rabbit…amazing!
- I wish someone could explain the expression “heads over heels” to me. Literally, it doesn’t make sense.
-
My first, middle, and last name only have the vowels E and O and they are almost in the same locations within each name: Weston Gregory Belkot. Blasted letter R. - If a duck received chemo, would it lose its feathers?
- Does God consider the invention of the boa—the neck apparel—a sin?
- Is it accurate to say that when a frog dies that the frog has croaked?
- I don’t want to be on this train anymore.
- An idea for a girl’s name: Story.
- I would feel guilty if I learned that sidewalks had feelings and a low pain tolerance.
- It’s interesting that animals, cars, and people make their own tracks, but a train doesn’t.
- Buttons protrude, so why isn’t it called a belly hole?
-
Is cooling a room in which Pavlov is training the next in line to the throne repetitive?
- What’s more tangible: a rainbow or a shadow? I would argue a rainbow.
- Will I get more responses on this blog than the serious ones?
On a serious note, we have teams traveling from Germany, Czech Republic, Greece, and Serbia in to Ungheni, Moldova, in the coming days, so your prayers would be appreciated.
And, yes, your thoughts on any of these thoughts or questions would obviously be enjoyed as well.
