Thousand-leggers are water-seeking critters. I drowned one in my tub three days ago, ground one in my disposall yesterday, and buttocked another on my toilet seat today. I love this place!!!

Almost forgot about caterpillars (back to railroads) We saw them in trainlike formations on East Broad Top's dormant rails between Woodvale and Alvan years ago. The only way to go in rough foliage. They squished in orange, purple and green colors.

Bet that crow would taste good with some Habanero sauce.... You might want to ask Dilbert's accounting department on the best way to cook crow - that was cooking pigeons, uh never mind.
Looks like the thread got hijecked by the sillies... A lot more fun seeing people blowing off steam (gotta keep a train theme here) by being outrageously silly than verbal fistfights.
This is the thread that never ends.
It goes on and on my friends.
Someone started typing it not knowing what it was,
and they'll continue typing it forever just because,

So how offensive can this thread be if it has attracted almost 4,000 views in only four days and three hours?

The reason I joined this forum was to learn from and listen to more experienced fans and rails talk about the industry, its history, and future directions.
It'd be nice to get back to that.

Good golly, Dan, one thread out of 1,000 and you're letting it get under your skin? I just checked for ya and there are still plenty of other threads about railroading going on right now on the forum -- just what you're looking for. You make it sound like they've all disappeared or something. Any special reason you're fixating on this one goofy thread?
An example: some of us don't really care for the "diner" threads. You go there a lot, but they don't meet your stated standards for "learning from and listening to more experienced fans and rails talk about the industry, its history, and future directions". That's fine. People go there to chit-chat and have fun. But just because it's not our cup of tea we don't go there and tell people how we think it should be.
These forums are something different for each individual, and everyone should respect that diversity. It's what makes the pot boil.

If You don't like it, don't open it. both of your comments have done nothing but keep it alive, and bump it to the top of the page twice, and now a third time. I for one am a bit surprised it hasn't been locked yet, but it hasn't gotten mean, and I do find it rather entertaining, Especially those who get worked up thinking that it should get locked. No Harm, No Foul.

After my discovery that there really is more to life then sitting at a computer reading peoples' musings on the mundane in this forum I decided to cruise through and see what the latest is.
I happened upon this thread and now I've only one qestion.

I'm with Solz.... I saw the thread title, and the fact that it's pinned, and thought: "How in the he.. did that happen?"

I'm beginning to think that this thread still exists just to spite me... Just kidding. One thing's for certain, either the moderators are trying to make some kind of point or they've just given up trying.

I think there is a general feeling that this thread is proving a point, but I doubt that the point it is proving to the moderators is the same point it is proving to the ones making the fun-loving posts. Neither point is the one I was making when in the past I objected to locking threads. Others who made similar objections might feel the same way.
