The Official Eleanor Roosevelt (And Anything Else Non-Topical) Thread

OK Kids…with the blessing of the moderators here, we have our very own thread about nothing.

Think of it as the “Seinfeld” of threads.

Please keep it clean…humorous…and even rail-related if you can.

Have fun!

I wonder if Eleanor preferred ditchlights that flashed at crossings?

Well, we sure know she preferred this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HY8vxYX78s

Ladies and Gentlemen, Hobos and Tramps, Cross-eyed mosquitoes and bowlegged ants.

I now stand before you, and halfway behind you, to tell you a story I know nothing about.

Last night, at 6 o’clock this morning, and empty train loaded with bricks came up the back alley in front of my house.

I ran outside, just in time to see King Arthur, sitting at the third side of a round table, eating vinegar with a fork.

If you don’t believe my lie, it’s true, ask the blind lady on the corner, she saw it too. Too bad it was foggy.

ask Fala.

Can someone - I’m thinking of Mike /wanswheel here - find and post a photo of Eleanor waving, preferably from the rear platform of a classic heavyweight observation car ? Then maybe someone else can download it and use it as their avatar . . . - Paul North.

I hate war! Eleanore hates war! And I hate Eleanore!!

Does the Peyote Cactus actually grow in the Dakotas, or do you have to import the buttons?

Go ask Alice, when she’s ten feet tall.

Following Murphy’s lead . . .

Old Dan Tucker was a mighty man,
And he washed his face in a frying pan.
He combed his hair with a wagon wheel,
And he died with a toothache in his heel.

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call

When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen’s “off with her head!”
Remember what the dormouse said;
"Keep YOUR HEAD’’

Thanks, Murray. [tup] But at the 1st one I get a ‘‘YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO VIEW THIS PAGE’’ message; the 2nd one is pretty darn close to what I had in mind; and the 3rd isn’t bad either.

So, can you check and/ or fix that 1st link sometime ? Thanks again.

  • Paul North.

I’m sorry. I thought you knew. Only Eleanor Roosevelt is authorized to view that page. [;)]

Dale!,Dale!, Dale!

You need to back off the Cookies and Milk…

&nbs

Eleanor always did have a good radio face.

Especially from the back seat of her Nash!

Should I be ashamed to admit that I was able to view it?[:slight_smile:] Don’t worry; you did not miss much.

What if Eleanor Roosevelt could fly? Would she be grounded if it was foggy?
