You're right. I AM lost. Anybody got a road map?
Derrick I am with your DOD (Dear Old dad) it is just glorified playing with trains and it is better for you to be doing that than sitting in a room somewhere drinking booze and smoking pot.
Mike; this world has two hemispheres and i happen to live in the southern one, here it is summer time it is around 30 deg ebery day and it is too hot to even wear sox.
However fell lucky as in this part of the world we would give anyhting (except our trains) to experience a cold white northern christmas with all that goes with it. Instead, here we sit around the pool and eat crusctaceans (prawns, crabs, lobsters etc oyster too) and drink very cold wine and beer; for Christmas.

Last time I checked the "rail" was called a road. Like the guy called a Road Master.

Well I can sure see why everyone was against associateing RR Ranking to number of postings on the forum. You all just "bumped" your numbers up considerable!!!!!
And yes, me too but only by 1........
Roadmaster??? On a train forum??? I thought that Roadmaster was a model of the Buick automobile, the one that had 4 portholes in the 1950's! Now, Trainmaster might work here; or was it that the Trainmaster hit the Roadmaster at the crossing?
Really, I've got to start skipping over this useless line; No wonder some of our European friends left us over the coffee shop thread a year or so ago!

What are hashbrowns?

>>>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_brown
Have fun with your trains
Hashbrowns:
Served as part of breakfast meal. Salt and ketchup to taste.
Pancakes:
Served warm with butter, peanutbutter, confectioners sugar, syrup (flavor of choice), fresh fruit, or chilled with ice cream.
I know very well what a hash brown is i have visited more states of the USA than most Americans and several times too. However this is an American thing and many non Americans on this forum may not know and we should all try to bear this in mind.
I actually had a young person in US laugh at me, because i didn't know what a dime was. And he was too stupid to understand, when i asked him what a Zac was. For those who do not know it was a sixpence, (say about 5 cents) before we went metric with our money as well. So local idioms are ok but consider others before you use them.
Don't forget the purpose of writing anything, is to communicate and if others do not understand a word you use, you have failed.
Sorry guys...you can't talk hashbrowns without mentioning the Waffle House. Its a southern thing.

You can have almost anything added to them. "scattered" (spread out on the grill), "smothered" (with onions), "covered" (with cheese), "chunked" (with diced ham), "topped" (with chili), "diced" (with diced tomatoes), "peppered" (with jalapeno peppers), and "capped" (with mushrooms).

OH, COME ON! You're makin' other people get hungry [Example: My dog is drooling on me right now]
This is you guys:
This is me:
Ohhhh come on guys.... a picture of a fast food potato brick is not hash browns!!! Shreded potatoes cooked with onions on a big steel griddle till their golden brown are hash browns, and then an egg or two mixed in to make a sandwich or tortilla foldover (taco or burrito) with appropriate chiles and spices... and a little (or a lot) of cheese.

You Americans use all these American terms and then wonder why you are not understood by others. Really to talk in this manner is just as rude as say; talkng in Italian in front of a whole lot of people who do not understand Italian. I would not say that " love ANZACS" on this forum because hardly anyone would know what i was talking about.

I know mate and i appreciate it and agree with you, if i really want to know about anything i look up google and all of a sudden i am a walking talking expert on the subject.
I wasn't surprised by the complete lack of interest in "ANZACS"; you Americans don't seem to have muchinterest in anything outside your own country.

Ian -- Just because nobody asked doesnt mean americans don't know what ANZAC was / is. I spent several months in Singapore running around with a bunch of Assie Army and Special ops types during late '71 and early '72. Some of the finest people I everr met. They had all been wounded, but still had several months left on their tour in Viet Nam and were on an extended R&R until they fully recovered. Don't know what bit you in the butt, but enuff said. ....
Ian,
This is offered in the spirit of bi-lateral unity. This forum is sponsored by an American company whose product is sold primarily in America. The majority of forum members are American. It is therefore inevitable that the majority of traffic will focus on matters which are American and will be written in the American vernacular. I'm sure that the same would be true of a forum sponsored by LBG and hosted in Germany; it would be about things German.
I don't believe that any of the American members of this forum would ever disrespect another member because he lives in another country. Quite the contrary, we welcome your participation because you bring an international perspective to the forum, which we would otherwise lack.
Walt
Interesting and sensible but still no interest in what an ANZAC is
I know what ANZAC is. However, do you know what COTCPac is?
