I submit that in addition to being a pathological liar, he's also legit retarded in some way. He believes everything that comes out of his mouth, and doesn't see any of his behavior as wrong.

@Saul Goodman your thoughts?

Some people choose to live like this. With Len, it's biologically ingrained into his corkscrew synapses.

In reply to @Pocket_Sand! (and respectful disagreement with @Gook Choy ), I think @The_Knight_Rider really does choose to live like this. At least in a sense.

As I've said earlier, lolcow-dom seems to occur at the nexus of sociopathy and high-functioning autism. If you're a just a sociopath, you can neurologically comprehend social norms, etc. So, even though you don't care about the needs/feelings of others, you act of out of self-preservation. If you're just an autist (like myself* and what I estimate to be 30 to 40 percent of the membership here), you'll be motivated to fix your quirks/socially unacceptable behaviors because they hurt people. Even if it's hard for you to understand why, you'll put effort into finding out.

But, if you're an autistic sociopath, you won't see why anything's wrong. And since your outrageous behaviors usually don't affect you directly (it's only their cumulative effect that leads to consequences, such as being banned from video game stores or railroads), you don't see any need to change since you are the only one who matters and therefore you're always in the right.

So, is @Gook Choy right when he says that it's ingrained into Len's synapses? In a sense yes. Personality disorders have a strong biological component and rarely change in adulthood. His fucked up neurology strongly predisposes him to making comically awful choices (that we then laugh at). But at the end of the day, I think it's clear to anyone with an interest in such things (although I admit that I am not an expert -- perhaps one of the resident Kiwi psychologists would like to chime in here) that these are choices.

Lenny isn't the fastest locomotive on the line (almost said "sharpest tool in the shed," but thought better of it), but he's definitely not "mentally retarded" by the DSM IV** standards. Yes, he has trouble with spelling, but that is probably the result of dyslexia and/or his legendary laziness and unwillingness to learn/change/better himself. When he's not raging with butthurt, his sentence structure is actually quite decent. And, ultimately, I think that's what makes people like Steamin' Lenny or Pristine Christine of such great interest here: Comically bad things happen to them not because they can't help it, but as a result of their own choices. There are plenty of people who are far more "retarded" by DSM IV standards who manage to have jobs and families and happy, unremarkable lives.

With this kind of cow, the point isn't playing "kick the autistic," it's taking a small moment of delight in watching a cow's autism pave the way for his/her sociopathy to get the kind of result it truly deserves.

*Diagnosis and everything.

**Yes, I know the DSM V gets rid of "mental retardation" and places it under the more nebulous umbrella of "developmental disabilities," but I think the more specific diagnosis is still legitimate and relevant to our discussion here.

Why do I get the impression that that's some sort of euphemism?

"Colebrookdale Rail Ale" is not a euphemism. Like many companies, CRR contracts their own label of beer (it's actually quite easy/affordable to do if you're buying in any significant quantity). Keeping the riders good and drunk both adds to their profit margin and helps distract the customers from the fact that they're paying $30+ to ride in a circle on what amounts to a large toy train.

Good Morning all. I had a wonderful time riding the Colebrookdale train yesterday, despite the rain.
My wife Kathy enjoyed it very much. I do believe we'll be back.
I guess the crossing lights were not working for Route 100, they had flaggers out protecting it.

Why don't you leave Shaner alone? What do you have to gain? Do any of you really know the man? Or are you just a flock of sheep following the lead ram.

Kathy? Photographer? Why do you keep doing this to me Solid? I do NOT need more headmates. It's fucking crowded in here. Go to church with Gloria and leave me alone.
