Fun Things to Do...

...on a train trip.

  • Set up a chess board in the dining area and play both sides. Make sure to actually switch which side you're sitting on when playing. Then, after winning, shake your own hand and compliment yourself.
  • Get a private car and build a fort out of cushions and pillows. When the waiter comes in to ask if you need anything, demand they give you the password.
  • Stand outside a passanger car and stare out their window from outside. If someone asks what you're doing, say "looking outside." Then walk away.
  • Tell the people around you that you have an awesome video to show them on your iPod. When they go to look, play the music video of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up". Repeat this process for everyone on the train
  • Wear Jedi robes and carry a toy lightsaber with you for the entire ride. Spend a majority of the time wandering around. Respond to everything with "I'll never turn to the dark side!" while waving your lightsaber in front of you. If you don't have one of the fancy lightsabers that make the noises, make the noises yourself.
  • When you're alone in the car, empty a bottle of ketchup on the ground and lay down in it. When people see you and panic, explain calmly that this is how you always sleep, and that they should keep it down.
  • Constantly ask the waiters to ask the conductor if you're there yet.
  • Ask everyone for their autograph. Claim to be a big fan of their work.
  • Loudly proclaim that you are plotting world domination and you are not to be disturbed. Then sit down and start reading "Who Moved My Cheese?". If disturbed, laugh maniacally.
  •  Wear a pair of sunglasses with googly eyes on the lenses. Constantly make the "I see you" motion at people.
  • Before departure, ask the people around you if they know when "lift-off" is.
  • Buy an Atari Lynx and spend the entire time boasting about the great features of the system. This should take around 40 seconds. Spend the remainder of the trip afterwards lamenting your horrible decision.
  • Start asking people if they've seen your pet snake around.
  • Pretend to sleep, but wake up every 10 minutes shouting a random combination of the words "pointy", "scrotum", "nose", "airplane", "seconds", "ball", "crown", "Massachusetts", and "welded".
  • Claim to be the Nigerian prince they has been sending all those emails. Act depressed that you never got to give your money away and instead had to burn it all.
  • After the trip, loudly proclaim, "Pfft. The train in Back to the Future Part III was WAY cooler than this one."
Safe travels, everyone!
