If it is about trains, we are on track. Unless we are talking about train wrecks...

Can't wait to see what the UP does with the Chicago and North Western - they still have three unpatched units roaming the system - they could repaint one of 'em. Gotta go get a Piels...

[Jim Duda]

A perfect example is Buck's thread about "The Polar Express" coming out on DVD...everybody stayed on track until some weenie brought up The Leg Lamp from "The Christmas Story"... What a dimwit!

[Blueberryhill RR]

Well, I liked the leg lamp too.
At least we have seen that movie.
Jim...Do you have one of those lamps?

Chuck

[Jim Duda]

Sadly I don't...yet! But the wooden box marked "Fragile" and the excelsior packing would be just as important as the leg itself! Especially to those who really enjoy that movie. I'm guessing we ALL know someone for whom it would make the "perfect Christmas present". I'll look around the neighborhood in a month and see how many are proudly displaying the lamp in their front window...HA!

[hugoroundhouse]

Did you say a leg of lamb was packed in excelsior?

[laz 57]

JIMBO my Wife, whomI LOVE DEARLY bought me a leg Lamp last Christmas and it was one of the best gifts I will ever or will ever recieve.

LAZ...Do you own a Red Ryder , lever action, 200 shot repeater rifle ?

Chuck

[Jim Duda]

Hmmmmm...I wonder...

What if Mr. Keller starts a "Sticky Poll" - Which ONE of these three presents would you like to receive for Christmas or your favorite Holiday?:

Lionel Polar Express train set...OR,

Red Ryder, lever action, 200 shot BB gun...OR,

Leg Lamp/Wooden "Fragile" Box/Excelsior packing?

[Blueberryhill RR]

Now, there's a real difficult question.
That's a good idea, Jim.
I wonder which one Bob Keller would choose ??

Hey, was just listening to that song on my favorite 40s swing/jazz station. Wind knocked the dish over so no more reception...oh well, the Red Dog beer is good.

Groundhogs or woodchucks are lucky that the government doesn't set their watches for them like ours does.

Why in the heck didn't they leave daylight savings time in place all year round. I hate getting home in the dark.

Get the government out of setting our clocks. They already control too much of our lives.
