Well you know over on an other forum - I refer to it as MightyLarge Soap - they have:

hobo for 0 posts
passenger 1-9 *
brakeman 10-99**
foreman 100-499***

engineer 1000 and up *****

I don't think CP5170 could have realised the out come of his origional post.
Everyone has the right to his or her opinion. It unfortunately got away from him.

Come on guys Be serious. We've lost the point of the thread thingy here the "contiuance of stars" or something or other. Anyway I don't think they are giving us enough stars. 4 golds for a thousand? I think four golds for 750 and 5 reds for 1000 would be more appropriate. What about platinum?

Did cp5170 ever consider what he was going to unleash when he started this thread? We really should thank him, Any one heard from him lately?

You gotta be kidding! They just haven't found out yet what a ball we're having with this looney thread. It's taken on a life all of its own.[:D][:D][:D]
You know once in a while a goofy thread like this, is just the ticket. It takes the edge off. Much better than arguing about which railroad is the best. Or for that matter if it is railroad or railway.


You Said It. [bow][bow][bow]

How many threads are there for "Which Loco Is Better, Big Boy or Allegheny" or "Who is Biggest" all saying the same argument over and over and over again ad nuaseum. (hence my attempt at driving a nail into the coffin of "biggest loco" by revealing the lost legend of the atomic Russian "Big Joe")

Come on guys this is supposed to be fun, even if we are taking about nosensicle things like how this ridiculus thread has taken on a life of its own, it just prooves were not so serious as to not have some fun with it.

There are plenty of "serious" threads on this forum. Over on the Trains.com forum one of the most popular threads is devoted to posting humor and jokes, so the rest of you out there, Lighten up before your arteries harden[:D][8D][8D]




[#ditto][#ditto][#ditto][#ditto][#ditto][#ditto][#ditto]Yaaaaa, what he said, and I do believe this is #120

I really like the idea about the trains instead of the stars. After all that fits the forum better. After scanning through this thread again I see that most of the post have two or more stars. Is there any significance to this? Are newer readers to this forum more interested in railroading then continuing this?

Come on guys can we get serious for a moment! after all I'm sure we all have better things to do than annoy the Grumpy Old Men Club. After all this has nothing what's so ever to do with model railroading. I know I have better things to do, but hey procrastination works too, after all it is an art form in it's self, isn't it? I'm sure if we can't get this under control it could invariably turn into the longest, most annoying thread to be written. But we must be serious about it as this is serious stuff!!!

That's 102 who's next
