Does this mean I'm getting old?

Boy so much for the few ladies that post on the forum. Talk about creeepy

Rick;

You will notice none of them responded, nor did I expect them to.

 Neither did I, doesn't mean none of them read it given how vague the topic is. I think when you start relating toy trains and sex, its time to come out of the basement.

I feel bad for married forumites who don't have enough wife that they need a picture magazine in order to be enticed.

Looks like the wheelset on SI is 2-2-2, on OGR it may be 0-4-0

That disclosure just made the needle on the creepy-o'meter jump a bit I think.

As for me, well, as much as I dig trains, if I had the choice on any given night of knowing I'm going to get lucky with my wife versus just going down to the train room, well, the train room's gonna have to wait. 

At work we had to wear safety glasses with side shields, I wear prescription reading glasses and  the safety glasses are also prescription. I typically took both pair of glasses to work, on the shop floor I work the safety glasses in the office reading glasses. One day before retirement, I left the safety glasses in the case and was wearing my reading glasses in the shop office area, before quitting time I could not find my reading glasses, I asked our 40ish department secretary in the presence of the general foremen if they say my glasses, she replied your wearing them, then she tells the general foremen that John has finally lost it, we had a good laugh about the missing glasses. She also told the shop employees about the missing glasses their comment the old man has finally lost it again some good laughs on my responses to their comments.

Also remember replacing a head gasket on the straight six 1953 Chevy you could sit on the fender with you legs in the engine compartment, try this today.

For RickO and the ladies...

I thought the cover of S.I. was a real bummer.

Trains, schmrains. The girl from the Blurred Lines video, the brunette, from last summer is in the SI swimsuit issue! (You've all seen it...admit it!) Her thong, or whatever it's called, is truly something to behold.

Lafondue, you just pegged the creep meter.  Whoa...

I probably shouldn't get into this, but... last month I was on vacation on St. Bart's (for those who haven't been, it's very French, topless and clothing-optional beaches, and the women frequenting them are way above my pay scale).  But my first day there was Jan. 25, and I spent the whole day at my rental house, online, bidding on Ives trains at the Stout Auction.  Not to be missed.  The beaches were still there the rest of the week.

C'mon, Mike!....Back to the Haiku!!

(Without referencing SI!  Can you do it?)

Come to think of it, I wondered what Si Robertson's first name referred to!?  Silas, Simon, ....Sports Illustrated??? 

Lock it up, webmeister.  We're losing our train of thought.

Well common sense (not very common anymore) "tells me" that there are some younger folks that participate on this forum.

Posts of grown men referencing "front rubs"  and "eroticism and model railroading" might be served better somewhere else on the internet,especially with so many folks being so "concerned about getting children in the hobby".

I guess we're doing o.k judging by your childish post Mr. Fondue.

Parts of this thread make me want to make sure my kids( and anyone elses kids for that matter) don't get involved in this hobby.

Lionel, where is the new catalog?

Boy, aren't we self rightous!!!  

Feel bad for yourself if you can't appreciate a pretty girl.  Sheesh, where do these people come from!?

I think we have on display here varying cultural norms.  Some of us are quite interested in sex, religion and politics, but we've come to the conclusion that given the enormous diversity of opinions on these subjects, and the possibility of giving offense unintentionally,  a model train forum is best off neglecting them as much as possible .

I'm sure various women will react differently to this thread, just as various men have.  Best not to get too exercised in either direction, since the intent is largely noncorrosive, I believe.  Although borderline strange or creepy to some .

Cheeky, Jim.  Cheeky.  

He guys:  You brain is in a container above your neck, not in one below your belt!

Does everything have to lead to a three letter word beginging with "S"?

Just stumbled onto this tread, Rich M. couldn't have summed it up better.

I prefer to "appreciate a pretty girl" in person, not in the pages of a magazine.  Not that desperate... yet.

There is no dearth of mosquitoes who, at the drop of a hat, are willing to reveal to you the word of god.
