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.

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.............

"Will I ever
see the NES again,
or is it
lost to history
never to be
posted upon again."

waiting for Bergie
to finally close
the thread. But
while they were
waiting they heard
a rumble. They
thought it was
a train, but
then the ground
started to shake.
It was an
earthquake! They looked
up and saw
a fleet of
C-17s. They were
landing nearby. Then
they realized the
earthquake was a
trainyard rising out
of the ground
that had tracks
stretching as far
as they could
see. The C-17s
rolled up to
the ends of
the tracks and
lowered their doors.
What would come
out? Hundreds of
thousands of........ of,
Big Boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Under
their own power!!!!!!!!!!

People ran out
of town as
fast as they
could, but the
smart people, AKA
railfans, ran after
the Big Boys.
As they neared
the state border,
the Big boys
began to pick
up their speed.
They began going
faster and faster
