One night this week I saw a posting entitled "Need a Mechanic" (or something like that). There were two posters named "Evil Engineer" and "Evil Conductor", who had not been seen before (or since). This seemed to me to be an obvious case of multiple (forum) personality disorder, worthy of Jim Carey's performance in "Me, Myself and Irene".

Here is a theory as crazy as him. Either the aliens or the people in the black helicopters got him.

[jeaton]

For ties, will everybody get the Chessie statue?

The Honorable Richard J Daily Memorial Award "read what I think, not what I type", aka dumbest mistake in a single post. jeaton for referring old streamline passenger cars with upper level observation seating as "Doom Cars"

I hearby gracefully bow out of the competition for this catagory, as Dan's "Ballad of Cinderdick" Homeric epic story blows any meager jokes I posted right off the tracks!!! Greatness must be acknowledged...

Are these the Cheesie awards, or the Chessie Awards? Dharmon spelled it as Chessie over in the diner thread.

some of the best threads:
"The Milwaukee Road"
http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?page=1&TOPIC_ID=22066

"Why did Penn Central fail?"
http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?page=1&TOPIC_ID=23197

"Coal Mines"
http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?page=1&TOPIC_ID=21559

[cherokee woman]

Most likely candidates to be sent to the couch: Dan, Vic, and Kevin the
RR man. Speaking of Kevin, WHERE is he?

[Anonymous]

I liked Smoke, Sparks, and Scary Noises. I have found Overmod's insights enlightening also, though for most poeple his technical jargon can be criptic.

Sorry I haven't been around much, I've been a combination of busy and tired.

[#ditto] To above,with the addition of cat. #13 [:)]

[jeaton]

Most incomprehensible post-Sterling1.

Also nominated in Cat. #25 MLA Award.

With a total of six Cheesies, the winner is the Saga of Cinder ***. It swept the "Most Entertaining" and "Most Printed Topic" categories. It not suprizingly picked up the "Best Film Noir Story" and easily got the "Best Topic Started By Trainfinder22-Cinder_Dick-KMC7-etc.". dharmon was also able to get the "Best Story Adapted from Garbage" Cheesie. This phonomial topic also waked away with the "Most Anticipated for a New Post". Somehow it didn't win the "Best Topic of the Year", probably because of it's banishment in certain parts of the world.

Somehow Cinder was also nominated for and won "Best Film Editing" from the Moving Picture Association and the "Best Album" Grammy.

[tree68]

Most Controversial Post: Just about anything by Clevelandrocks, trainfinder22, Detective_Cinderdick and kissmycaboose

[Sterling1]

How 'bout this for a possible:
Craziest poem yet non related to RRs and still on topic of food and RRs

It's just my suggestion, upgrade it if you want.

How about the Sybil award.

OK Guys,

Because I live on the other side of the world, it is convenient for me to read posts whicle sensible residents of the USA are sleeping.

I can't really think of a title for the award for this. I haven't found the posting since and don't neccessarily believe that it was there, but there was no reason for greater hallucination at that time than normal (for me).

Dan usually sees all of these oddities - perhaps he could nominate an award for this type of posting!

With regard to personality disorder, I think it's safe to say that Clevelandrocks, trainfinder22, Detective_Cinderdick and kissmycaboose are all one and the same. You can tell by the consistent misspelling of certain words, the irrational statements, and the wild suggestions that his/her/its posts all come from the same person.

I think Evil Engineer is someone new, but Evil Conductor is probably someone else who uses the forum regularly and created an alias to pick on Evil Engineer.
