your telling me.
I wonder and
wonder. I go
to bed at
night and wonder
"Will I ever
see the NES again,
or is it
lost to history
never to be
posted upon again."

Then I found

myself back on

the park bench

with my girlfriend.

Was it all

a dream? I wondered.

Had all this

been an illusion

of a bunch

of guys typing

three words each

to form a

story? Or have

I just been

playing Mad Libs

too often? Whatever

the case, I

turned my head

to face my girlfriend.

A pigeon made

a toilet out

of my head.

Resting back into

my seat, my

thoughts turned to

the clock. Seconds,

minutes, hours, days.

When would Bergie

come to exterminate

the topic? Tick,

tock, tick, tock.................

KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My pocket watch

exploded. Being the

dimwitted moron I

am, I figured

NES would live

up to its

name, and never

end. Poke. Bergie

tapped my shoulder.............

and life as

we know it

shall cease forever.

It's been fun,

check the Classic

Toy Trains NES

before it is

destroyed by Bergie![:(!][}:)][xx(][:(][:(!][}:)][xx(][:(][:(!][}:)][xx(][:(!][:(]

I'll keep it

alive for as

long as I

can. Well, then

the engineer screamed

bloody murder, running

around like a

beheaded chicken, in

desperate need of

a Never Ending

Story on this

wonderful train forum.

Trains.com slapped him

right across his

face and told

him to shape

up. Reluctantly, he

did......but not

before he started

a story on the

Garden Railroading forum.
