Staying on topic, why is it so Hard for some???????

[Blueberryhill RR]

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

[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!

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

My idea of fun would have been to ride the Empire Builder and share a bottle of Ballentines and a can of spam with the lady in that sleeping car.

My old man drank Knickerbocker beer. He'd always have a lit Lucky Strike hanging out of the side of his mouth too. He was as "old school" as it gets. Tough, quiet New England Yankee.

Anyone remember P.O.C. beer? Pride of Cleveland.

What's with the Turkey Spam ?

I actually hiked a few miles down an active double mainline in Wv, this weekend.

It was a beautiful clear crisp morning in the Allegheny mountains with the trees in full fall color. It was a nice hike, and I saw three trains in a couple of hours. I got some pics, I will try to post them later. One was a CSX coal drag.

[Craignor]

Sounds great...making me hungry!

Cool bridge pic, would be better with the coal drag on there!

[Anonymous]

Craig, add some real crumbled up bacon bits to those cheesy grits with a sprinkle of sliced green onion. Let me know what you think if you ever try it.

Back in '98 got to see a coal drag come down the New River Gorge at the arch steel bridge.
It came by just as we had made down to the old river bridge Cool!




Looking down to the old bridge atop the new, you can see the railbeds on both sides of the river.

Is Ballantine still around? Great ad, David! My favorite regional beer was Schlitz. Hmmm, actually my favorite beer is any beer. Mmmm, beer.

[Craignor]

Dave,

I gotta try some of that ballantine, don't think I ever had it.

I was thinking the same about the coffee pot.

This thread is a hoot![:o)]

This weekend I was in West Virgina and had Cheesy grits for breakfast. They had melted chedder in with the grits, it was the best grits dish I have ever had. Try it!

[Blueberryhill RR]

Tell ya a secret...

Grits is best served with gasoline gravy. Expensive.

[palallin]

Cheesecake: with or without fruit toppings?

[Blueberryhill RR]

The Ultimate:

Apple Pie with chocolate ice cream and Butterscotch topping.

[Buckeye Riveter]

I really enjoy a cold Diet Coke with Lime.

[FJ and G]

Craig,

Ballantine's goes good with spam or scrapple.

(this post is proving more popular than the Coffee Pot post)

[Craignor]

Spam Lite!

It won't be long before we see Scrapple Lite?[:p]

Frankie recorded the vocal and it was added to the music from the Clowns' tapes to produce the final version. Sea Cruise was a massive hit across the country early in 1959, reaching number fourteen on the charts...."

Very good. Based on the fact that, " Don't Ya Just Know It " , is the only
45 record I have, of "Huey Piano Smith " that is the song that I meant.
Nice information.
