Steam & Excursion > McD&SNG RR #480: Order Up!

I'm told that "HIGHBALL!" has been replaced with "ORDER UP!" on McD&SNG RR, but I don't know.

I suppose that I should also apologize for this being a re-post from your "Chama du Jour?" thread of yesterday.

Well, it gets my vote for IOTD. You can't beat sarcasm that thick.

Good stuff!

Hmmm, Knuckle sandwich?

LOLOL! ROFL!! LMAO!!
And I am sure the burgers are tender.....

Fire grilled burgers and hot dogs, excellent smoky taste.
Buns are toasted over an open fire, nice and crispy.
Fire roasted baked potatoes.

Other burgers cooked over an open fire, eat your hearts out.

I am planning on cooking burgers on my gas grill tomorrow, these might be better.

I'm told that eating cinder-laden burgers creates character... or is it cancer...

If there is a photograph that shows how the soul has been ripped out of the former "Narrow Gauge Capitol Of The World"....

....that's it.

Thanks for the compliment, but in truth, I was giggling when I took the photo. The way that I look at it, yeah, Durango is a Disneyland, but at least we have a healthy D&S to show for it. I'll be back for my 50th anniversary ride this summer.

I had my very first sausage and egg Mc Muffin at that Mickey D's. I haven't been to Durango for quite a few years now and I wonder what the new laws have done to CO.

You should make it "high" on your list to return there.

- Of course it's been replaced - MickeyD's doesn't serve liquor! You don't want to try firing a coal-burner on Coke, either...
- Wonder if they'd charge you if you just ordered a large water to go...a REALLY large water...no ice...
- Too bad the engines are all coal burners - they have a lifetime supply of biodiesel right there!
- When you pull up to the second window, do you snag the sack of burgers with the cowcatcher?

Y'all forgot the steamed vegetables.

You guys and gals are sooooo funny!
Both threads tie for Thread Of The Month!
You-all are incorrigible punsters, so I won't
"incorrige" you.

But how can the conductor give the engineer a
highball when Rule G is in effect?

Station work complete. Okay to proceed on signal indication.

Ahh Margaret, in the good old days, Rule G may have been "in effect", but "effective"? HA!
