I think I am. I keep trying to work on my trains but life keeps getting in the way. I keep seeing the scene from Blazing Saddles–the plot of which “Has to do with where Choo Choo go.”
“One false move and the the vitamin guy gets it.”
“Stand back everyone. He means it.”
“Oh lawdy lawdy what’s I gonna do?”
“Won’t somebody help that poor man?”
Just remember Chip,
" What did you expect,
To be welcomed with open arms,
Invited to dinner,
Date my daughter?
These are simple folk,
people of the land, poor dirt farmers, you know,…morons."
Gene Wilder as the Waco Kid in Blazing Saddles.
Ever wonder how the town of Rock Ridge got it’s name in the Rock Ridge & Train City layout I’m building. Only difference is that in the movie Rock Ridge was in the middle of the valley and on my layout it adorns Tater Mountain.
“They’re coming to take me away, Ha! Ha!
They’re coming to take me away, Ho! Ho! Hee! Hee!
To the Funny Farm, where life is beautiful all the time…”
Yeh! Ain’t it awful, even in retirement there is always something getting in the way of doing the Layout… I feel your pain! [:D] I keep having those nightmares where no matter what you do it is wrong. Like about a kid whose parent wants him to be in chorus and expects him to get an “A” but doesn’t think he should have to attend rehearsals… And the idiot administrator of the school thinks I am right but should find a compromise by making him a Soloist to please the parent even though the kid can’t carry a tune. Don’t laugh those things used to happen when I taught. Now, in the dream, I get locked out of the building by the kids and get in trouble for not showing up for the concert. LOL
Kinda like the lady who goes to a shrink and says, “You’ve got to help my husband, he is convinced he’s a refrigerator”. The shrink tells her to just tell her husband that he is not a refrigerator. He askes how that makes her feel? She replies, “Oh its terrible, he sleeps with his mouth open and that little light keeps me awake!”
Sometimes its hard to figure out who is sane and who isn’t! [;)]
