QUOTE: Originally posted by Alaskaman Or maybe: "Forums for boring people with no sense of humor" I know a couple of people who would be glad to use them. I have about 361 posts, and in only about 200 of them I have actually answered or asked some train-related questions. People don't seem to hate me for that, neither they are thinking about kicking me out of here. Some who rememeber Missouri : what was he talking about? From what I read mostly railroad related stuff. His posts lacked humor and concern for other members. But he got kicked off. Sir, if you choose to go against the crowd, consider this: they will treat you how you treat them. Why do people even bother to complain about this? Gosh, get a life.
Have fun with your trains

For those who have never hitchhiked off the Earth before.. From the Guide.... "Vogon poetry is of course the third worst in the Universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by thier Poet master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem "Ode To A Small Lump Of Green Putty I Found In My Armpit One Midsummers Morning", four of his audience died of internal hemorrhaging, and the President of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Coucil survived by gnawing one of his own legs off. Grunthos is reported to have been "disappointed" by the peoms reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his twelve-book epic entitled "My Favorite Bathroom Gurgles" when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save life and civilization, lept straight up through his neck and throttled his brain. The very worst poetry of all goes by the nickname of Zardoz and lives in the frozen northern area of the continent known as North America. Vogon Poetry is MILD by comparison." Well, Jim, thats what MY COPY of the book says....maybe you haven't recieved all the electronic Sub-etha updates yet ...

To be truely appreciated, Vogon poetry should be experience while being placed into Poetry Appreciation Chairs and tighty strapped down, while a battery of electronic devices, image intensifiers, rhythmic modulators, alliteration residulators, and simile dumpers, all designed to heighten the experience of the poem and make sure that not a single nuance of the poet's thought is lost on the listener. The nearest earth equivelant is the Electric Chair...

Irreverent nomadic bachelors ride sparrows into the quagmire, where they overdraw conclusions. To demonize sneakers tampers with passe shrouds. Homesick envelopes bipolar magnetons, with unarmed hybrid woodchucks distilling geology. The lampposts are fabled oval hegemonies, while nude shepards thrip upon mattoid boulders. Get my drift?

I will be short and to the point! I don't know that much about any facet of railroading to show any skill and insight. I can only ask silly questions because I can't use terminology I don't know. I like to learn, but I like to be entertained, too. Ergo, I like this forum. And me thinks you are wound just a little too tight. Mz Mookie
