I think you're right. And the acting in that takeoff of a certain Xmas story wasn'r bad either. Smile,Wink, & Grin

I enjoyed it a lot. 

All I have to say to Cody is this:

As an actor, you're a great model railroader/journalist.  I look forward to seeing you every week and my guess is that the folks at Kalmbach really enjoy your sense of humor.

Cody is a stitch - I thought I was going to finally make it through a Christmas season without having to watch "It's a Wonderful Life". Love the neck beard - kind of looks like Kyle Orton.Smile

The movie parody was fine but needed a Mr. Potter.

So Dave, who would you cast as Mr. Potter? They're all good guys there so you'd probably have to import somebody from one of the other magazines. Whistling

Wait....wasn't Popp a drama teacher when he taught high school? I think some acting lessons are in order. Although that could cause the skit to lose the "no mrrs were hurt in the filming..."

 

I was outside at work this morning and heard a whistle.....and another model railroader.....

 I sat here laughing out loud.  My wife thought I was nuts.  Very well done.

Enjoyed it a lot. As I was watching, I heard a local Christmas holiday excursion train's steam whistle...must've been a child on board decide to be  a model railroader -- or his dad.  Wink

 I enjoyed it also.  Hey, they're not professional actors and it takes a good bit of work to get the script together and shoot one of these.

I look forward to the next one!

I thought this was soo much fun! And yes, I too laughed out loud! The weekly "Cody's Office" is great because not only do I learn a bit, but it also "humanizes" an otherwise inanimate publication (MR) making it much more "real" than it otherwise might be. I do look forward to each installment.
