Lolcow Leonard F. Shaner Jr. - Autistic Pedophile / Foamer / Shitlord

[Optimus Prime]

Oh dear. I almost forgot why I logged on tonight. Here's another Shaner story for you all.

This one comes from a friend of mine who isn't too keen on the idea of posting himself, So I agreed go post for him.

Sometime during Len's "tenure" at Strasburg, Len made one of his usual trips to the Railroad museum of PA (which is right across the street).

A railfan who was taking detail photographs of one of the locomotives inside found Len talking to one of the engines.

No, I don't mean trying to seduce it.

This is an actual quote from Len..
(Spelled correctly for easy reading)

"I'm sorry they treat you like shit here. I'll make sure you run again one day, even if it means I have to sell my own mother.."

It went on for a few moments until the railfan felt compelled to leave.

True? Yes.

Anyways, sorry it took so long for me to get another one of these "Len Gems" up.
I guess you could say.. mining for Lenny Gold isn't easy.. but it pays off.

That about does it for me for a while Guys. Unless I find more over the next week, I'll be silent until then. I think I've posted enough and don't want to get on anyone's nerves here.. (besides Len)

Your friend & unofficial conspirator

Wow, does he have like, no fucking concept of how expensive or time consuming it is to run preserved locomotives?

Like, if it was a diesel, then that thing would suck down gasoline like nobody's business (fuel economy was not a big priority during the diesel glory days of post-war America) unless it's something like an SD40-2 which in that case restoring to working condition wouldn't even be worth it - it would be more cost effective just to BUY a working SD40-2 from CSX or Norfolk Southern at that point.

But if it was a steam engine...hell, this past 4th of July weekend? I was on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad and the train passed through their workshop/maintenance area. Their pride and joy: 2-80- #1702, was taken out of service for restoration in 2004 and the boiler was still not reattached to the driver wheel chassis - it looked NOTHING like a steam engine. When asked, they said they expect the engine to be back in action late summer next year.

Just put that into context: a running steam engine can take about 12 years just to refurbish these days for a shortline, small tourist operation. Len thinks they treat engines like shit? Those engines are lucky to have escaped the scrapper's torch!

Wow, that's some pretty creepy behavior. Reminds me of this old short story by H.G. Wells called "The Lord of the Dynamos". It's about this mentally unhinged, village idiot type who works at a power plant where he talks to and literally worships the coal-fired electrical generators. At the end of the story, he throws his abusive boss into the biggest generator (the titular "Lord of the Dynamos") as a human sacrifice. Interesting parallels, though I don't think Len has enough upper body strength to feed his mother into the firebox of his favorite engine.

Really...? It's the logistics of getting a train up and running again that bothers you from that story?

 

[TM Ambrose]

Damn i missed a shit ton of stuff. Len is a walling spedsplosion.

Does Len think Choo-Choo's are people too?

 

[StallChaser]

Spoiler: does he know that he just doxxed someone as a touhou character

Either way he definitely should add this to the website

This never stops being funny.

I desperately, desperately want to call this bullshit.

I desperately, desperately want to believe this isn't true.

... But is it sad that, because it's from Len, this sounds perfectly normal to me?

This makes me think of the character from those Peanut cartoons that talks to her school building. While that is a bit charming, Len talking to old locomotives is a bit creepy.

Len confirmed for having train waifu. And I thought I was kidding by comparing him to a weeb.

 

[Super Collie]

So if @Half-dude has a car waifu, and Len has a train waifu, does that make Len a chubby-chaser in the world of transportaphiles? Furthermore, I'd be curious to know if our resident mechanic love doctor also has any hot tips for Len regarding safe intercourse.

Half-Dude/Len OTP, they can have a 4 way with their machines and live in autistic bliss away from the normal folk forever more

Not so much the logistics of a real-life functional restoration as to what the fucking hell Len could possibly be thinking would get a locomotive going again that selling his mother somehow could possibly help that effort.

I mean, in the likelihood we're talking a steam engine, he'd fucking blow the entire place up if he tried to light up and power a steamer - those things are literally high-maintenance pressure bombs. If you've ever seen a Mythbusters episode where they do stuff with purposely compromised water heater tanks, it's kind of like that combined with what happened with that cement mixer.

 

[Zvantastika]

What really burts me in laughter from the image is the "Keep off" painted in the train, it's almost like they are just missing the ", Shaner" at the end and it'll be perfect.

Anyway, T - 7 days until court day.

I really have a good feeling about Shaner being voted the lolcow rookie of the year. ADF is having a pretty solid year, he's been the prototypical cow this year. Chris always has magic in his back pocket, though. Shaner, though. If he doesn't get locked up, he has a future.

 

[DrJonesHat]

Ween's not funny. Len is going to suffer some nasty blowback from this shit.

He already beat Chris in the Summer Tourney to give you an idea of his quality as a cow.

Fuck... He's a natural. So what's it like being the CEO of a railroad?

Apparently the pay is terrible, or else I'd be able to pay off debts and loans with ease. But hey, I guess it means I get to ride the rails for free or something. Plus I guess I have to do security, since I've only ever joked about watching cameras for fatboy when he tries to break in.

 

[TopHat]

Guys come on. Let's be fair to Len.

He has already figured out his own way of restoring a locomotive. The Shaner method is as follows.

1. Show up to the railroad you are helping at claiming to be an expert on everything.
2. Stand around and let others do all the work while giving instructions in "Shaner-english".
3. Post lots of photos so all the little foamers will praise your efforts.
4. Try and get in the pants of any female within half a mile of the project regardless of age.
5. Take home lots of parts from the project and deny any knowledge of their location.
6. Get banned for being Shaner.
7. Start Facebook pages badmouthing the group who threw you out.
8. Piss people off to the point they file charges.
9. Call conspiracy and cry to Facebook.
10. Get posted on a forum and get your ass handed to you because well.. you're Shaner.
11. Commit countless crimes to payback all those conspiring people by posting their info.

I have yet to see step 12 and above but I'm sure this list will grow soon enough.

Thanks,
TopHat.

(Seriously, Len didn't understand that we had a black laser printer and by his logic, if he kept on printing THE SAME PICTURE, eventually it would become "color.")

So black toner + black toner + even more black toner = color?

No wonder Len was held back in school.
