[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by trainheartedguy</i> <br /><br />You might be a railfan if: <br />--You have read and understand each and every one of these jokes. <br />--People cannot mention B&O, reading, UP, PRR, NYC, BNSF, etc. without getting an interesting fact (Or boring lecture as some people would call it) from you <br />--No one wants to play Monopoly with you (For obviouse reasons) <br />--your chat room discussions look like "ooOOO OOOoo" <br />--Your days off of work are spent either in railroad chat rooms, Forums, or on your layout (Or a combination) <br />--You look forward to new jokes in this thread. <br />--You advertise rail forums on a rail forum. <br />--You like your job maily because of the Mainline nearby <br />--the other reason you like your job is because its at a rail museum <br /> <br />And I am guilty as Charged!!! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Dear traingheartedguy, <br />As I have preivously told kevinstheRRman, I am anti-LOL, so let me just say that was hillarious! I am guilty of 6 of those, except that people can't mention New York Grand Central Station without a lecture on the interesting ceiling paintings, and a discussion of the less-well-known (among non-railroaders/fans) Penn Station. <br /> <br />Here are a few: <br />You might be a model railroader if... <br />...you wake up in a hospital only to discover that you cut yourself on the too-prototypical cutlery of your dining car <br />...your spouse has spent more time modeling the clothing found in Classic Trains: Dream Trains than in modern clothing so that your 1:87 figurines can be "perfectly prototypical" <br />...you saw a freelanced freight car, and were confused because you weren't sure how many rivets there should have been to be to counted <br />...you went to Las Vegas and betted on "when Z-LA-CI-08-9 will reach milepost 487.6" <br />...you insisted that the five dollars your spouse actually one in a slot machine be used to purchase another freight car <br /> <br />I am not quite guilty of these, <i>yet</i>... <br /> <br />Hope you had some laughs, <br />Daniel
