Perhaps, then, you would be so kind as to remind us what the topic of this thread IS?

Wasn't till the eighth post that a railroading subject was even introduced... and then, obliquely. Presumably anyone keeping this thread alive is well aware that it's predominantly OT (if a thread with no original topic can be said to be "off" topic at all...) Certainly no poor soul would be bamboozled into thinking it's a railroad subject from the title...

We have Bergie as the topic police. No other 'jugend' need apply...


[[#oops]
I'm NOT THE TOPIC POLICE! Leave me be! I only warned of others who don't have open minds such as I and yourselves!!!! I AM NOT ONE OF THEM!!! Just your average forum member. I'm going to hide for a while before I get turned into a pincushion.
Sorry.


And a topic, with no discernable subject, is then thrown into the general rules and regulations that governs us all....namely there is trains...somewhere.

I drink the stuff that's directly imported from Ireland. Tried Labatt Bleu, not overly impressed.

That black stuff isn't ale, it's stout.

And if you haven't had Guinness in Australia, you've missed a truly wonderful experience. It isn't at all the woody-tasting, bitter stuff we get in the United States, perhaps best experienced in a Black & Tan (which incidentally I highly recommend to you beer drinkers!)

To top things off, I believe it still comes in the handy 28-oz size...

For you metaphysical physicists out there: Why is the foam on so-black Guinness completely white?

Junctionfan, you've probably been drinking Molson's. Dudley Do-Right's horse has diabetes. Try Labatt Bleu instead before you give up on beer -- or consider one of the good ambers and dark beers. Last time I was in Quebec City you could still get Delirium Tremens (an "interesting" Belgian product) -- not to be missed, but once might be enough...

I actually like your idea (kinda) about the money. If I ever win the loto big time I want to open a chain of stores that sell only items made in America or Canada. The AmCan Stores will feature something you rarely find in stores today -- SERVICE. The AmCan Stores will be located throughout America and Canada selling items MADE by Americans and Canadians TO American and Canadians. There will be NO Chinese made JUNK in the AmCan Stores.

This of course will provide jobs for American And Canadian workers and will require the railroads to transport the goods to be sold. All in all a good idea, that least I think so. [;)]



Jim, I like your idea. May I be a cashier in your store? And may I sell my crocheted
afghans (blankets) that I make? And how about we bake cookies, cakes, pies
and fruit cobblers to sell?

A somewhat nice day before winter really sets in, Andrew, come on now, get with the program. [8D] [;)] It may be cloudy here but the temp is about 70 and it is too nice to be on the computer. SO WHY AM I HERE ! ? !

Time to go outside and enjoy the day. [:D]

So Andrew, how is your weather? [:p] <You are not on the couch drinking beer with Kev are you?> [:)] [:D]

See ya later. [:D]
