Celebrities among us ?... (Off topic)
Posted by Tracklayer on Tuesday, September 27, 2005 6:40 PM
Have any of you guys ever wondered if all of the members here on the forum are really who they say they are, or if some of them might actually be actors, singers and other famous celebrities that just want to get away from the lime light, talk about their train hobby and be ordinary people for a little while every now and then ?. If so, that's fine with me, and I'm glad to have them aboard...

I knew it !... I knew that was a wax figure they buried in that casket. My crazy sister said she saw you walking down a beach in Florida about ten years ago and I just thought she'd been smoking too much of the stuff. It's cool, your secret's safe with me. Is there any way you could hook me up with Lisa Marie ?...

Track baby, I can't see the Lisa Marie thing goin down. The King almost had to come outta hiding over the Michael Jackson "incident". Stayin quiet thru that was tougher than someone steppin on your blue suede shoes...

I hear you King, I hear you... I was very surprised that she would do such a thing. Just glad it didn't last any longer than it did. I won't say anything more about it because I don't want to see this thread deleted, but I'm sure you know what I'm thinking...

Never particularly cared about celebs... Cool if they're into trains but to me they're just people.

Jeff.

PS.. I thought I saw Elvis at the LHS today... Talked to him in fact, he's still yelling in pain over the MJ LM thing.... Maybe that wasn't him though and just some fat guy in a jump suit. [;)]

I don't really think many of today celebrities have enough class to be model railroaders.

No, but they might call themselves Tracklayer (Mark), claim they live near Houston Texas and come up with a topic entitled Celebrities among us ?... ([;)])

Read the Neil Young interview in Time today. He is part owner of Lionel, and has helped them in developing control systems for his sons, who have CP. It sounds like he enjoys trains, but it is from a different angle than most of the folks here, I think.

I did a TV ad for my work, I had to model fixing some appliances, and then pretend to deliver a washing machine to my house. had a close up of me with a cheesy smile and a thumbs up.

They played it locally for a few months on all the major stations at prime time, people stopped me in the street and gave me the thumbs up and a smile.

Business boommed!!

Yes it does cspmo. A lot of actors start out that way. Stick with it and be patient. You never know how life might turn out.

You know it... If there's anyone that can come up with the most off the wall, off topic subjects on the forum it's me, or is it I ?. Anyway...
