Re: The only Lithium that Mouse is worried about, ain't in batteries....

Mouse is a train hating troll who's mental state has deteriorated markedly over the years as his ferroequinephobia has progressed and his obsession with evil BART has caused him to increasingly reach out with his increasingly bizarre and desperate memes, mostly to attract these other three pus oozing loser trolls, who share his desire to troll a train site...
Given Mouse's propensity for wildly trolling every death by train, I'd bet Mouse doesn't really give a rat's a$$ about peoples safety... When people do die, even if it is their fault, or even when it is no one's fault, to Mouse it is always the result of an "evil" train, and it must be stopped... The evil train that is....
The only thing about "lithium" that Mouse is really worried about is the lithium mom secretly tries to put in his food, so he stops having more and more of these hallucinations, hearing more of those "voices" that leak through his tinfoil hat, that warn him about what the "evil" conspiracy is really up to....
