[quote user="nanaimo73"]<p><br> </p> <p>Your current avatar looks like Orville Redenbacher after he was watching a new microwave experiment too closely when catastophic failure occured.</p> <p>Your last avatar looked like a melted ghoul.</p> <p>The one before that (with the cigar) looked knowledgeable enough to explain to this befuddled Canadian why Americans want to spend $700 billion a year to fill the thankless job of being the World's policeman.</p> <p>Could you please ditch the railbike as well ? [;)]</p>[/quote]<br> <br> <br> Geeeeze!! Everyone's a critic. [swg] I've come to suspect that the railbike picture was taken in Canada, it just has a canadian "feel" to it.<br> <br> I've often wondered what a seasoned RR cop would do if they caught some yayhoo out on the mainline with a home fab rail bike. I'll bet it would make for an interesting conversation.<br> <br> As far as the "worlds policeman" bit....not all of us Yankee's are all that enthusiastic about the role.<br> <br> You are talking to a guy who opposed the invasion of Iraq on many levels, not the least of which being that none of our 'official excuses' held water, and that we should take the UN's advice that no "WMD" were likely to be found.<br> <br> But the hawks were determined to serve punishment upon a weakling just for the feel good.<br> <br> Now I take it all as an amusing joke, they've gotten into it, with zero chance to win anything near worth what we've put into it, and with no solution in sight are dumbfounded to find a respectable way out.<br> <br> Since I was not given the choice of whether we should go over there and waste taxpayer money, I'm glad it all ended up being "as good for them as it was for me" bwaaa haa haa haaa.<br>
