Well we often derail a thread. It is just "one of those things". Some "wrecks" are worse than others. But we all usually have a lot of fun in the process and somewhere along the way we actually learn something. As Ed said long ago, when your learn something with a little humor involved you remember it much better. And as Mookie said, if you want a lecture go to college. The only "wrecks" we forum members are involved in (hopefully) are just here in the forums. Don't mind us, just jump in with both feet (hands) and post away. We may be a zanny bunch but we don't bite (too hard) and we don't make (much) fun of other forums members. Yeah, right. [:D]

Hey have a great day and make another post. [;)]

Apparently, nobody in the following states likes trains, or they aren't willing to admit it:

Alabama
Idaho
Iowa
Maine
Montana
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Mexico
Oklahoma
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Utah
Washington
Wyoming

and of course, that great train watching hot spot

Hawaii

By the way, I do have a sense of humor, and some of the stuff you are posting IS actually funny. But maybe you should just make a new topic, for humor.

This was a nice idea, but I think it has derailed. [:P]

Mookie's driver who is a native Californian (Downey) drove all the way to Lincoln NE with this on the back of his car (only it said San Diego). Made people scratch their heads - it really did look better when it was driving around San Diego!

Ok everyone, what Ed was RAELLY TRYING to say above was, It doesn't pay to make fun of "The Kevin"

He said it subliminaly, and i don't know if the other people could pick that up, so i'll clarify.

Ed is the more fortunate one who gets to sell pens rather then Pencils.

it just doesn't pay...

I'm suspisious now

It's a particularly dull day at work. Every time someone comes in my office I give them something to do...so they stop coming in. [;)]

As for the other......our system's firewall will cut off log ins. So I have to enter my user name and password each time I post. When I go back to the forum contents page it cuts me back off. So it does show me online, but only as a guest.

Its not magic...it's microsoft.[:D]

"Fell off, with my help"

that saying really refers to Trains, it's a french saying
Invision this..
Ever been in a city bus and someone falls down the stairs and lands on the side walk?
thats "piqué une debarc" To fall off," unitentionally or accidnetly
same thing with a Train, when someone falls down the stairs and lands smack on the platform Thats "pique une Débarque"
That saying was origanly invented for Trains, when someone would accidently fell off.

"Avec l'aide de moi" means With my help

So it's

Fell off, with my help

Thats really mean actaully..

oh well..

merry Christmas cabforward.
