not know, and certainly do not care.

Thanks for the re-assurance! Actually, I'm originally from Texas (got out before the guards made their 3rd rounds). The reason I understand what's being said here is that my 2nd cousin, twice removed on my mother's side of the family once saw Fats Domino dressed up as Santa at a department store in Baton Rouge where a Lionel train was being demonstrated (see? relevancy!) He was reciting "The Night Before Christmas on Blueberry Hill".

.....and a very touching moment, it was, for sure.

I'm an avid, but relatively quiet semi-lurker here.

Now I have two questions. What ever happened to NYCRR1 on this thread?

And should I be concerned that everything said so far on this thread makes perfect sense to me?

Notice the menu. That is rather disturbing.



Not really. Different culture is all. Others find eating beef or pork distasteful. All meat, no matter species, was once a living being. If you stop and think about it, it can be gross - meat is just a piece of a dead body. [xx(]

Now you want disturbing? Go to a sausage factory and watch that process. Or see what body parts actually go into a frankfurter. I promise, you'll never eat a sausage or a hot dog again!

Just reading through this thread is surreal - very cool.

Apparently Daan is pining for the fjords!

Spam Spam Spam, wonderful Spam!

ps - I'll take the Red Ryder BB Gun - there is a documentary on the last dvd release of A Christmas Story that reveals that the author of the original story, Jean Shephard, got the details wrong and combined 2 different BB guns in his description. So, for the movie, they had to make a special one! I've got the original book and there were a lot more stories thatn the ones they combined for the movie - some of them were pretty hilarious, especially the one where the dad went out and bought mysterious fireworks for the 4th of July that didn't have any english writing on them and ended up nearly burning down the whole street! Or the one where the owner of the theater in town had to shut down and move quietly one night - they were giving away a complete set of china, one piece each week - but the only piece he ever got in from the supplier were the gravy boats. After a few weeks, tempers frayed! Great stuff! I need to go dig it out and re-read it now!

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

...OK...I remembered some more of it...

"All that benchwork that needs to get done
But Chiefie needs help...pardon the pun!
He's got a big hammer and nail guns galore
Too bad he forgot just what they are for...!
The boyz in Ohio are laughin' with glee
Because they have presents for under his tree.
I know what they are and all I will say
Is, "Chief, you better kneel down and pray!"
Buckeye is plannin' the Mother of surprises
It'll shock all the rebels, with NO COMPROMISES!
And so I'll end this rhyme prematurely
Merry Christmas to all, and I mean that for surely!"

...or somethin' like that...
Small Layouts are cool! Low post counts are even more cool! NO GRITS in my pot!!!

Then upon his layout arose such a clatter.
CHIEFIE went to his train room to see whats the matter?
As he opened the door to scan the chatter,
He forgot to empty his bladder.

Some help here?

Then why do you still keep droppin' in David?

We're all on God's train, some just don't know it, yet.

I think God prefers steam locomotives?

It's too cold for snow sometimes in Alaska, I hear? Bears eat the cross ties at Spring's first thaw. Eskimo's have been caught trying to paddle a train.

Did you know that there is a Penn Central Conference, where God is the #1 topic?

http://www.pccucc.org/

Did you know that The Family Lines is the LEAST modeled Class 1 railroad?

Did you know that people who model trains come from a variety of racial, religious, political and gender backgrounds and that there are Yankee as well as Southern toy train hobbyists, as well as some sprinkled in foreign countries.

Did you know that Alabama and Hawaii and the states least modeled in toy trains? (Alaska used to be until the plethora of Alaska RR models).

Do you care?

Do you wi***his thread would disappear?

I feel your pain. :-)
