Our fearless leader, Dr. Evil, has directed all measures and methods SHALL be employed to derail (get it - "derail?" hahahaha) this SMART scheme to provide a reliable and - dare I say - comfortable alternative to commuting on the 101. A massive "get out the moron" campaign will begin soon with as many doped up, degenerate, basement-dwelling trolls that can be found. These will begin appearing at local shopping centers, median areas of our local freeways, perhaps actually standing IN the traffic lane itself (they wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway) chanting time-worn and non-original epithets (e.g. "Hey, hey, ho, ho, this is no place for a train to go!" or another oldie but goodie, "2, 4, 6, 8 . . . stop Evil Thomas at the gate!"). And, just to show everybody we mean business, we might actually place pennies on the tracks so they can be flattened out. This will help us make those junk copper jewelry items we can sell at our protest gatherings (trolls gotta eat too, you know). All hail the luddite revolution and our return to Middle Earth.
