Hey guys, I was the first one to use the word INSANE on this thread, back on page 9.

So Vic, don't spend your winnings too fast, remember the drinks are on you when you get to 1000, and that fourth star.[:D][:D][:D][:P][:P] Maybe that thought will slow your posting down.[swg]

Hey, this post is HO scale ... 1:87

It sure does! but keep an eye on the never ending story topic,
they catching up* like a Thalys* past a railbus*


*1 = railroad company
*2 = fast european TRAIN
*3 = european doodlebug

so this post is international railroad orientated, and there are 8 stars in it and look:
no smilies used!! (except in my autograph)

When I hit 4 stars..

The drinks are on me!!!...Meet you at Mijares Restaurant in Pasadena, Georges Specials (the Worlds Best Margaritas) all around....

of course getting yourself out here to California is your own doing...

of course I probably wont even notice it...I didnt notice the 3rd star till I was at 520!

Ok Boys, its done now. Definately over the top!

I've been on the sidelines, watching this topic go insane, and trying to take the moral high ground.

Maybe its time to give this one a rest, since we all for the most part ran out of usefull input back on page 3, and managed to make a rather large imperssion on the person who originally posted the topic.

You never know, if we don't stop soon, Bergie may lock this topic, and we'll have to start all over, which means finding a new rant.[:P]

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, 176




Nah, Bergie's got a sense of humour! Mind you there are fora where the topic would have been locked by now; them's the ones you don't hang out!

Coming back to the original topic: you guys must have lost your train of thought. Which, come to think of it, is a real no-no on a train forum.
This is supposed to be about the relative merit of "stars" or rather the lack thereof.
Vic is going to be a "four star whatever" at which point he's going to revamp his sig (hopefully with more "Hitchhiker" stuff) and that drunkard railroad of his will serve up a round of drinks for all those who stuck around in this looney thread for long enough.
