180 !!! Ay Carumba!!!

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!

   Have fun with your trains

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)

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

Dave, the only reason I beat you to the post by 15 seconds, is that I started 10 minutes ahead of you.[:P] I'm really a very slow typist.

By the way, this isn't the first time this has happened. A couple of weeks ago we were racing to respond to a member who didn't want to use rail joiners when replacing a turnout. Once again I got you by seconds, you should have seen me trying to type. Sheer panic!!![(-D][(-D][(-D]

This topic has become a scab on this forum, and we just can't seem to stop picking at it.[banghead][xx(][*^_^*][:-,][(-D][(-D][(-D]

As for connection speed[#offtopic]that has the makings of a whole other poll [#oops]but let's resist the temptation and not go there, PLEASE.[sigh][:-,][(-D][swg]

Almost to 200! Here's 197--who's going to win the DOS 200??--My guess is Kevin Harvick. Oh wait, that's NASCAR!
