Gee, if I see flashing lights behind me at the Lancaster County line, it's a complimentary - Mookie inspired police escort??????

Oh Big Bird - how will I know when you are here???? Oct 11 is MO and it is away, so may be pretty quiet - everyone leaving town you know!!!!! You really should reach out and touch - someone anyway....

How about Her Highness? Ranks right up there with Queen Mookie, but is less formal, for those who are on chatting terms with her. Then maybe we can have them add a tiara to this emoticon [:X] in honor of her.

Admiral.
What a nice suggestion, but don't think the people on this forum are quite ready for that! But what really caught my attention was the tiara on the emoticon. That part was funny - having never seen one before.

I think just plain Mook, Mookie or even Duh is good. If you were to meet me, you would think the same! Nothing fancy and so laid back, I nearly fall over!

Are you trying to send photos for the Photo of the Day on the Trains.com home page? If so, send them to editor@trains.com or ebergstrom@trains.com. Those come right to me. The railroadeditor@ trains.com goes to one of the TRAINS Magazine staff members first, then get forwarded to me as needed.

Let me know if that's what you're taking about.

Take care,
Erik

i'll write that down so it comes to you.
