I could only imagine what the crew was thinking when they saw that guy with the juice bottle.

I would hate to be the Signal Maintainer charged with keeping that apparatus in working order. It might even take two people. A garage sale devotee and a shrink.

It is a joke. Laugh and quit taking the hobby so seriously. I chuckled at the video.

I find paper railroads more absurd.

Paper railroad steam festival...nuff said :lol:

Edit: Some of the paper railroads are relatively realistic and well thought out. I enjoy following them.

I think fictional/ paper railroads are more interesting when they are actual model railroads IMHO.

Never said paper railroads were foamerism going too far but that debating what kind of paper railroad was better surely is. Now if we debating what kind of fantasy league was better then you would be in line with what I am saying.

Ok, fair enough - I should have quoted the above instead.

I would have to agree 100% with that statement.

I'll tell you what, there is nothing more annoying and worthless than hearing fantasy sports being discussed on sports radio. I can't turn the channel fast enough when that topic comes on.
