Did you miss the part where I became The Unihead?
Now that sounds really important. I think I might even start a cult, like The Uniheads, One Big Brain to rule the world....
You know whats funny, it took him over twelve hours to think that name up. My nine year old could smoke him in a second.
Stay Frosty,
The Unihead Ed

Ed.. you know your right... i have this horrible temtptation by those 2 to sma***hem down.. just because they're so dumb...
i know.. like you said.. i keep promosing to ignore them and yet i keep forgetting..

this senario is starting to sound like Chocolat and lent, i keep promosing myself.. no choclat during Lent.. yet that akways Backfires

or the other one... PMS and girlfriend.. Agree with everythign she said fir the next few days.. yep, that one always backfires too... i always say somehting that gets me in "L'eau chaud" (hot water)

so i'm vowing now.. keep chcolat away from me.. i'm not speaking to those 2 anymore until they join this train.. that is a vow.

We need an engine to pull this train. I believe it should be a E8 or E9. Is there anyone out there that knows how to run one any more? It also must have a caboose. But what colors should it be?

Ed, deal me in!! I don't have a lot of spare time,(I'm still trying to keep the country afloat by working 60 hrs per week), I enjoy reading most of the postings, when I have the time. I've learned a few things in my sixtyfour & 11/12 years, the BEST WAY TO HANDLE JERKS! IS TO NOT RESPOND!! Our responses fuels them, without it, they run out of gas!

I wonder if there is some way to make you a honorary Unihead?
Wait a miniute, I am THE UNIHEAD, so I can do what I want too, right?
So, as of now, I hearby declare the person known as wabash as a full fledged UNIHEAD, with all the rights, privileges and duties this office carries. He henceforth has the right and the moral obligations to suffer no fools, talk straight, take no prisoners, and eat his wheaties.
As one of the true Uniheads, he has the right to confer this title to others that he deems merit it, and bestow this great and wonderful privilege to other worthy mammals.

Yep, Ed. I'm in! Havn't been able to post much lately. I transferred to a small town out Jenny's way, and have to use the local library's 'puter. Not much time to read all of the posts, so what's up with this trip you are talkin' bout Ed? Ahh, heck. probably couldn't get away anyway! I'm bolted, hog tied, and chained to the conductor's ex board. MMMMM MMMM long runs, long layovers, and deadheads at an hourly rate instead of line miles. I smell annother great UTU contract. I'm post 85 so I have no rights. Sorry bout the tangent. I do that sometimes.

Post 85 myself, same boat as you, no perks, just sweat.
The trip, well, you know the twerp twins mike and missouri startd the crossing/you are all murdering meanies/you kill people at crossing on purpose to make money nonsense again, same story, different day. Had the usual round of trading insults with them, it got as boring as shooting fish in a barrel, so jenny said "lets get in the car and drive away" from them, and it snowballed into a train trip.
Just ignore them, they dont count.
And yeah, look like the UTU is going to take care of the old heads again, and leave post 85 guys out in the cold.
Stay Frosty,
The Unihead Ed

Sounds like a plan to me...and I think we need jenny in on this too, as a historian, and language expert, after all, not to many people will grasp the concept of yellow thingies as well as she does.
