Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Ripper?
Or should I say Sybil?
I wonder if he (they) has a town council in his brain each and every morning?

Its a halo Loco (hmmm ... rhymes). Anyway, I'll submit your name to the Vatican and they can canonize you Saint Loco and make you the patron saint of Choo-Choos. LOL!
@Loco ... our headquaters is in center city Philly use to be the headquaters of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The lobby has these awsome huge art-deco mosaics of Choo-Choos; I should photograph and send you a couple. They just don't make building lobbies like that anymore; too expensive, I guess. This is a pic of the deco front doors; there is a dept which does nothing but constantly polish brass which is everywhere in the blgd right down to hinges and doorknobs.. can't seal it I guess. Will try to get pics of some of the mosaics inside.

They don't make 'em like that anymore Gerry that's for sure. While I'm not a train buff by a long shot, I think the pics of those murals would be nice to see.

I'll take some pics next time I'm there; I work in a satellite office but I'm there often (we paeons call it "the white house" LOL). You don't need an appreciation of trains; it's just plain awsome. The size of a whole wall make of little one quater inch ceramic(?) tiles. Really neat. Will post a pic when I can.
This is a bronze about 40 feet high. The railroad workers went as a until in the military to build railroads but also to sabotage nazi supply routes. This was a memorial bronze to carry their souls to heaven. Damn, I wish they still built stuff like that!

@gerry
The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans probably each thought the same thing during their Empires. They never will build things like they used to. Great old building tho.

Garmoon, I suppose you're right, I just don't like most artwork I see. Buildings in center city are required to put up a piece of art and it's always some ugly thing like this. It does seve it's purpose thought; "I'll meet you by the clothespin" is a common phrase if you work in the area LOL!

Tarmac one and tarmac 2.
Tarmac one says to tarmac 2 "im the toughest piece of tarmac around. Id beat the crap out of any other piece of tarmac"
...
*
...
A red piece of tarmac approaches them in the bar and says "come on then, if your so tought...fight ME!"
"no no no," said tarmac one, "I didnt mean you....sorry mate...didnt mean to anger you"
*The red piece walks away*
tarmac 2 says too tarmac 1, "What? I thought youw ere the toughest piece of tarmac around...why didnt you fight him?"
So tarmac one said, "Nah, not him. Not that red piece of tarmac...i heard he's a cyclepath!!!"
Aha. [psychopath]
Thanks ireland!![afterdawn legend]

@gerry
I have to agree about that being the worst joke ever. I'm well, everything is eerily quiet today.

gerry, I agree, joke and betrayal. Maybe there is a need for a thread on "How to get rid of all the Old Timers" George

I'm lurking on this and a few other threads specifically to make sure there's no more sillyness going on re Ireland, we're under instruction to close threads that are being used in this way; it's a new day fellas, i didn't close the Kettle thread but only 'cus someone else beat me to it. Time to stop the morbid conversations, all the facts on this subject were posted in the other thread ie no betrayal's gone on/going on, no-one's being slighted or mistreated or unappreciated, no need to keep those chins dragging on the floor, too much real life misery out there in the real world..
I like Ireland, it's his choice if he wants to leave, no-one else's, there's certainly no-one edging him out. And on that note, let's not disrespect him by dragging this on...

@Creaky, ddp ... While I disagree with just about everything you wrote, Creaky, I have nothing further to say on the matter save for my own silent protest which I and others believe to be a genuine one. I'm very fond of a lot of people here and its not right to bring the whole site down despite an all too real trangression. Enough said.
@Little155 ... I thank you more than you could know, as does Ireland, for the support in this issue but if only on that one point, creaky is correct; lets drop the whole thing.
I'm already 15 mins late for my math class and I'm sure everyone is in their chairs complaining. See everyone later.

@ddp ... I'm very sore and therefore very cranky (I've been packing boxes because I'm moving again) anyway, a friend of mine will do it for me. I teach a one hour math class twice a week...nothing fancy or impressive, believe me, just plain ol grammar school and high school math ... kids who've dropped out of high school but want to get their HS Diploma. Actually, it can be fun. We've got all these laws about why kids can't be expelled from high school anymore so all the good kids actually quit school out of fear...the bad apples stay and the good ones leave. I can't blame them, I had to do some work out of area high schools and I thank my stars I didn't have to go to school here or I probably would have been a drop out myself!
