[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by gabe</i> <br /><br />It is hard to say. You state "the gospel" with a small "t" and a small "g." So there are several: <br /> <br />Brother Oltmand holds service regularly to preach the Amtrak gospel. His sermons are a bit long at times, but he can be pretty interesting to listen to and he really knows how to speak of the highway darnation that can result if we do not put enough in the collection plate to keep Amtrak going. <br /> <br />Then there is Father Harmon. He teaches the gospel of rail satire. He is not very big on predestination and insists that others who insist upon posting just to up their post count just to increase their stars really do have a choice. Despite Father Harmon's most interesting homilies, his desire to change such scurilious individuals remain "unSUBSTANTIATED." <br /> <br />Then there is Friar Hemphill. Friar Hemphill preaches the gospel of knowing what thoust is saying--especially when it comes to technical fields. Friar Hemphill's sermons can be a bit technical at times, but I always leave feeling as though I have not spent enough of my life devoted toward tractional devotion. <br /> <br />Then there is Sister Mook. Sister Mook preaches the gospel of spotting Trains. Her sermons seem to have more relevance to certain geographical areas of the country, but her humor and common-sense approach to her gospel leave me willing to make the trip. <br /> <br />Then there is Pastor Limitedclear. Pastor Limitedclear teaches the gospel of railroad experience--although it is rumored that Pastor Limitedclear's earthly devotions took him down numerous other paths than railroading. Pastor Limitedclear is a real fire brimstone pastor, and nary a sinner has crossed him without being told they don't know the difference between a railroad tie and a necktie. However, occasionally, one sees Pastor Limitedclear's soft side and few leave his sermons without knowing more than when they entered. <br /> <br />Then there is Reverend Randy Stall. Reverend Stall's gospel speaks to the virtues of rebuilding one's life--as well as one's engine block. Reverend Stall is a jolly sort who never ceases to have a good joke to brighten one's day. <br /> <br />Then there is Shaman Greyhounds. Shaman Greyhounds speaks the gospel of non-government dependence. Though Shaman Greyhounds is not one to hold back a strong rebuke from those who stray from the libertarian path, his lectures are guided by his virtues experience and contain much wisdom. <br /> <br />Then there is friar Junctionfan. Friar Junction fan is Canadian, as such he is big on State-sponsored devotion. Friar Junctionfan othen has generational and regional problems in getting accross his message and his is rummored to hate E.H. Harrison as though he were the Devil. Nonetheless, I still read Friar Junctionfan's sermons with great interest. <br /> <br />Lest I forget Monk Jeaton. Monk Jeaton preaches the gospel of good railroad accounting. His sermons are always pleasant and non-confrontational. And I rarely miss hearing one when I have the chance. <br /> <br />Then there is I. I am just a smart a** who just likes to make fun of people like you who try to pick a fight and stir things up. <br /> <br />Gabe <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />That is by far the best reply to a potential flame I have ever seen! Kudos! (It was funny too)
