      Henry wasn’t sorry, it was on purpose. He was celebrated. I have read the entirety of The Railway Series to my daughter twice (I do substitute in “coal” for the aforementioned slur). There is some crazy shit in there. Engine body horror.

          You hear that, Bobandy? That shrill sound in the distance? That’s a shitwhistle heralding the arrival of the shit train. Carrying countless shitcars each filled with tons and tons of shitcargo. Should be here any moment, Bobandy, but first a little drinky poo!

          That’s no reason to throw the gamer word at them. Actually, it’s more messed up because it was a bunch of lily white English kids chucking rocks. Should’ve called them crackers as he passed instead.
