Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

So what you're telling me is, it's them boys in Washington DC playing around with nukes that caused us all to go through a mysterious time warp? Hawk, did YOU go out and see that big remake of a famous sci-fi movie this weekend?

This brings to mind a point : Everything man has ever done has failed. The pyramids take the prize for the longest triumph of man made things- but alas, they too are slowly falling apart, and they are after all just piles of stone.

Mans hubris: We can make bombs that will wipe out mankind? GREAT! Lets build 30,000 of them- what could possibly go wrong? We figured out how to splice the DNA of a fish with a tomato so the pasty fruits will last longer on the shelf? GREAT! Lets plant billions of them and feed them to everyone- what could possibly go wrong?

Forgive me if I'm a bit dense, but who is Helen Waite, and why is this thread named for her?

I believe the thread title is a wordplay "joke", i.e If you have a "Problem" go to Helen Waite....

Well, I just spent the last two minutes typing my answer, only to find you beat me to it Stoker. (I'm a bit of a slow typer)

Oh well! You got it right.

Kind of like the "Complaint Departments" plaque with a hand grenade on it, with a big "1" on the pin. If you have a complaint just pull the pin and wait, someone will be right with you.... I think they give out those plaques with salvage yard licenses as every junkyard in the nation seems to have one behind the counter.

Guess I must just be behind the times and out of the loop. Makes sense now.

On a side note, I was well into adulthood before I learned about the "pull my finger" ploy.

I just busted out laughing when I read that.

As most of you know, I'm from Calif. That never happened to me until I came to the south then I, too, was well into manhood... like in my 30's... And, I still don't think it's funny.

It's the people who don't think it's funny who make it funny, actually...

Hawk, any chance we can add a "finger-pull" icon to the selection of smilies?

I worked construction all my life. Pull my finger is mild stuff gentlemen. Mild.

Ahhh- construction pranks- now your talking. "Hey Newguy, grab me some toenails." Newguy says "Where they at boss?"--- "They're in the box next to the boardstretcher" --"you know-- the big 3 cylinder one on the bottom".....

If you can find one, or make one, I'll add it.

Go it added Kevin. Click on the 'View more smilies' link.

Wow!

My tongue was firmly planted in my cheek. Thanks for the addition, Kevin and Hawk!

Am I correct in assuming that we now have a funny farting finger in the, View more smiley's, link? Sheesh!

You didn't see it?

Deep down inside, we'll all just a bunch of 13 year olds.
