Can someone - I'm thinking of Mike /wanswheel here - find and post a photo of Eleanor waving, preferably from the rear platform of a classic heavyweight observation car ? Then maybe someone else can download it and use it as their avatar . . . - Paul North.

Did Eleanor see this one coming?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Hobos and Tramps, Cross-eyed mosquitoes and bowlegged ants.

I now stand  before you, and halfway behind you, to tell you a story I know nothing about. 

Last night, at 6 o'clock this morning, and empty train loaded with bricks came up the back alley in front of my house. 

I ran outside, just in time to see King Arthur, sitting at the third side of a round table, eating vinegar with a fork. 

If you don't believe my lie, it's true, ask the blind lady on the corner, she saw it too.  Too bad it was foggy.

Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

OK Kids...with the blessing of the moderators here, we have our very own thread about nothing.

Think of it as the "Seinfeld" of threads.

Please keep it clean....humorous....and even rail-related if you can.

Have fun!
