Seriously we are talking about something here, started with a railfan about trains, and this mook stuff is not even in the least bit amusing, get on AOL and instant message if you are just gonna waste time between your little ring of people. I mean no offense but you might as well just forget about people trying to get serious on these forums with all this mookie B.S.

I don't know...

In my line of work, once someone attains four stars they pretty much do what they want until Congress or 60 Minutes finds out.

Do you guys ever watch the show Mail Call on the History Channel? I'm trying to think of how the host, R.

Sir, with all due respect, I'd prefer platnum stars.

OK, for those who haven't seen the show, R. Lee Ermey spent 11 years in the Marine Corps and has been in several war-related movies. On the show, he answers reader questions about the military. Go to the site below and click on "Target Recon" on the right side to read his bio. When you first click on it, he'll actually call you a maggot.

How was that for an official answer? [:)]

Erik

that stinks! I want to talk to the web master! Surely he could do 1 more green star with an itty bitty tiara! Since I don't look anything like Ed in real life, I should look a little different on here too! Don't you think ?


Now Mookie, do you want a timeout? You are different. Your username is Mookie, and Ed's is edblysard. [:)] Many people will have the same number of stars, but there will only be one Mookie. [:I]

Alright, back to the Mail Call bloopers...

Have to sneak back in as a mongrel dog! You guys better back me up, since you are the ones that are getting me into more mischief than usual!

But you've got influence around here, toots! Use it! Call down the great powers out there in the cyber ether. HELLO, YOU FELLOWS WITH THE TRAINS LOGO FOR A CALLING CARD! Madam Da Mook would like to have four green stars instead of gold. You're likely going to have to ask, Mook. You know, the manners thing.

The Lincoln Havelock is very old and very small and has just been absorbed into Lincoln proper. But at the heart is a pretty good sized shop for railroad repairs and a nice small community with a main street. AND saw an SW10 and SW15 headed that way this weekend - switching light industry around there.
