Marty - WOW - I can feel the wind coming off that beauty!  Would love to be able to get that background on my layout!  Amazing!

Back from a visit to Mainstreet, still kinda hungry because those "O" scale Big Mac's aren't very filling. Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

Doug - you gotta eat 48 of them!  Some say anywhere between 43 and 50 is okay, but others are really picky!

Great pics everyone!  Marty, you are the king of computer editing!

Jim,

That's just about the most clever one-liner I've seen in a long time.  It sneaks up on ya. 

 

What I want to know is, Do they have the right number of sesame seeds on the buns for the dreaded sesame seed counters?

Thanks!  They got the seeds right, but the 1950's didn't have Big Macs, did they???!!!  Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun came out in the 1970's, I think!  BTW - if you know the tune that goes with that sentence, you win a free Big Mac at the Arnold McDonalds (any of the 3 in town), just swing by and pick me up and I'll buy for us both! Dinner [dinner].

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Thanks alot, Jim. Now I'll have that jingle in my head for the next few days. I guess it's better than the other voices...

'85 - '87, Kingshighway store, Rolla, MO.  I remember "inventing" the Double Quarter Cheeseburger with "old" sandwhiches. 

 Hey, I had to make money while finishing up my undergrad work, ya know!

 

Another question about those scale Big Macs:  where the pickles touching one another??

Laz. That backstop reminds me of the one we had as kids on the field we played at. The only difference is we had a tree behind pitchers mound.

The little league practice field AND the playin field are right by the local UP main. Needless to say that I never missed an opertunity to railfan when my little brothers were in little leage.

Hey, Alex, I know I have told you before, but that is one heck of a cool layout.
