What happened to the lost art of engineers waving?

[quote user="solzrules"][quote user="RRSloth"] <p>Well, it's official...a wave really is the most powerful and awesome gesture a train crewman can give. Just got back in from an FIHK, and going through Tacoma we encountered a bunch of phoamerz on a grassy knoll near the rail. I jumped up, told my engineer not to worry about a thing he was about to see, and scrambled down the steps into the nose and out the front door. As soon as the door swung open and daylight poured into my little cave, up came the heads from the cameras. (I didn't ruin any shots, did I? >.> ) Their jaws dropped and they just stood there, aghast, as I jumped up and down on the front deck, hooping and hollering, scattering Cheetos everywhere. Not once did I wave though, and I think that's why all I got as they disappeared from view were a bunch of retarded "You did NOT just ruin my shot!" expressions. Had I simply waved from my window, there may have been a mass orgasm. Didn't really care to see that, mmmkay?</p><p>Anyone have pics of a guy in an Exxon Valdez shirt and blue baseball hat going batshit on the front of a GE in Tacoma?</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Don't know why, but in 14 pages of reading this had to be THE funniest entry.......</p><p>[/quote]</p><p> </p><p><span class="smiley">[#ditto] Laughed my ass off.</span></p>
