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.

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!

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.. 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.

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,

Missouri: As your neighbor to the northwest, I am extending the hand of neighborliness. I will invite you to join our train IF...you button your lip on the latest subject matter you have been expounding on and if you join in with us and have a good time.

If not, it will be your loss.

I am ashamed of all of you. Here Ed is a conductor /forman and all the railfans and you want to get out on the interstate and backroads of america and drive around when you could get the NS or CN or any amtrack train with coaches and sleepers with all the asminities . but you abandonded the railroads. I guess you are not the die hard railroaders and railfans i thought you were.
