Andrew, you're not necessairly the worst speller on the forums.
If it weren't for a spellcheck and a dictionary, I'd be right with
you in the spelling department. I'm always calling CW to
come help me with spelling.[:D]

Tell you what you stay and post as much "LOOK, EVERYONE" and such you want. Heck you can even hijack the Chessie Awards. I think it's time to join Vic and take a break for a bit anyway..........anymore capacity, free access, lynch mobs, advice on how to run the US government, or Amtrak as a defense issue and I may have to grab a wakizashi and some rice paper......

Adios for a bit.

I will gladly share my humble pie with anyone, especially if we might convince Dan to do another Detective Cinderdick type of novel. Would also nominate jhtrainsplanes for best forum greeter and cheerleader/coordinator. I had never seen the other thread last month...[:-,]

Jin, Dan, everbody else here. Help me out.

If the entertainment business can have Emmys, Oscars, Golden Globes, Peoples, and 15 or so music awards, we certainly could have many annual awards sponsored by the different factions among our membership. Such as:

The United Brotherhood of Current Railroad Employees

The Loose Association of Former Railroad Employees

Attorneys Anonymous

The Editors, Published Writers and Graphic Artists Guild.

Train Watchers of America

Railroad Photographers Group
Film Only
Digital Faction

Trains.Com Forum Lurkers Society

There are probably several more groups that could set up award programs, but first we should try to figure out the nicknames for the statues. Any ideas?

Oscar,

So you nominated locomutt for "worst speller"? Think there are
a few more on here (sometimes myself included) who spell
badly at times. It's a fact of life: sometimes your fingers don't
respond to what you are thinking in your head, and your fingers
do not respond to the brain waves.

BTW, dose pertains to medicine, and amount you take.
Does as in doing things.[:p]

[oops]I spelled your name wrong. Now I will spell it correctly:
OSKAR, I apologize for that bit of mis-typing. See: it happens
to ALL of us at times.
