Should we have a thread titled, “Compilation of Widely Useless Threads?” [:-^]
covers eyes
Don’t tell me you didn’t just say that
Peaks
Oh no you did!
cringes
Tisk tisk tisk, shame on you selector.[:p] You should know better.[;)]
There are enough members who complain about useless threads as it is. Why create another one? It’s not like when a thread is put in the “Widely Useless Threads” thread, that it disappears from the forum itself. So, why have to links to a useless thread? Who exactly would read it anyways? People wanting to avoid useless threads? Well, if that’s the case, then the subject of the post could be used to determine whether the thread is of interest to the reader. One man’s treasure, is another man’s trash in this case.
You could always try it and see how it goes, but don’t be surprised if this thread winds up in it![(-D][swg]

You have a masochistic streak.
So, like, this one wouldn’t qualify? Sheesh.[:-,]
Heck Ya! It’s getting to be that time of year where we start to get cabin fever! I can think some real winners. One or two might even be mine. But the trick is to dig them out and dust them off.
Selector, You go dude, You be the man!
I’m not sayin a word…Doh! I just did…oops…
I’ve started a few of them.
I always follow the rule: If you can’t sound smart, then you better be funny.
Then again, I haven’t started about whether your mother-in-law approves of your hobby in a while…
It might be a long thread! [:o)] Mouse, since my Mother-in-law now thinks it is 1938, niether HO, N or Me exist yet! (She had a stroke a while back and doesn’t remember much past 1938 now. She was, up to that time, one of the sweetest, intelligent, well read, and caring people on the planet. Sometimes humor is the best way to keep some sanity!)
Spacemouse thinks it’s the 1880’s. I’m in 1967, myself. The trouble with 1938 is that the big steam won’t fit on my little Atlas turntable, and looks silly on my 18-inch curves.
You had a mother?!!1 Bloody luxury!!!
Well down in the basement it is always 1925 in my house.
selector, yep both a Mother and a Mother-in-law. My Mother-in-law was more fun to be around than my own Mother. Until the day she died, my Mother was always trying to make me a better person. She would say things like, “Do you know your hair is turning gray? (yes Mom) You know today they make hair coloring just for men! (I like the gray Mom). Why don’t you want to look better?” She was a Beautician by trade. She also died at 88 as a flaming red head…[8D]
Thanks for the ride, Fellas. It was fun, if short-lived. [:D]

Say it’s not so! We shall live on… Yah whatever I’m a late 50’s kinda guy. Hold on to the past and think what the future has to offer.

1958 in my basement. As for the question in the subject, I think we should start a poll.
Actually this is a very useful thread! This thread has allowed me to post my 1000th post here at the forum. Thank you selector for giving me this magnificent opportunity. I will always treasure this thread… LOL [:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]
[yeah]
YAAAAAAAAAY!! I am happy for you, Ray. Welcome to the dizzy heights.[8D]
Now, of course, this thread’ll never make it into the list. [:-,]
You’ve got the gold!!! Congrats!
I think that most of my useless threads have been locked or deleted…
Congrats on the 4th star.
Watching this thread has turned into watching tornado form… Only going to get worse the longer it goes…

Well, it’s 1940-50 in my garage, fellas. Tried a little later period, but the locomotives just didn’t have enough wheels to keep me interested. And there’s something about the noise (hum, grind, hum, grind) that just doesn’t have the tenuous, “Will it make it” sound of CHUFF, CHUFF–WHACK!! CHUFF, WHACK, WHEEZE, SNORT–CHUFFCHUFFCHUFF–WHEW!! (and that was my 2-8-0 with only six cattle cars).
Hey, Crandall, what was this thread originally about, anyway?
