The long running Tips and Peeves threads are now being reduced to maybe once a week. I'm sure many will have panic attacks with nothing to do but twiddle fingers. So this is an effort to fill in the nightly entertainment needs of many without overloading any single individual.
I will open the thread each night around 8PM. (If I'm not fairly prompt anyone can initiate it.) I will open the post by saying "Let the games begin" or some such thing.
The first person to respond will then announce a subject for discussion. It must be as unclear, ambiguous and vague as possible. For instance : Tonight's subject is "Freight trains and coffee pots common link". Others will respond with their keen wit and silly responses we're all accustomed to here in OT.
O.K. Let's see how it works. Let the games begin! Please post subject for tonight!
It all began with the steam engine and then the engineer would ask for coffee and someone invented the percolator. Common link ? Why a couple of intersecting RR tracks of course! Surely others have an opinion on this serious matter.
Do you remember the story about the little engine that could. Well, once it no longer could, it was melted into scrap metal and was shipped to the nearest coffee pot manufacturing plant.
Well.. It's always good to have a coffee pot on the train... Plus, some older coffee pots make a whistling noise.. Not quite as loud as older trains...
