the strangest conversation I've ever had on this site.  Two grown men, discussing the finer points and relative merits of two train cartoons.

What the hell kind of train in real life jumps five feet up in the air without all of its passengers dying a horrible death?

Saw him twice with my son in Baltimore and PA Dutch country.

Thomas is lame, but the other steam engines they have around are very impressive.  They are 125 years old, but they are a real technology.  There is quite a bit of presicion and engineering to them.  You and your buddies couldn't just go to Home Depot and build a steam engine.

I love Octonauts. The boy and I love watching it together and then look up the real animals online to learn more. For bed time it's usually Stella and Sam. That is a really cute show if you grew up with siblings or have more than one kid.

What does it really matter? He recruits the same players no matter where he is. Same undersized 3 start prospects. He will never complete for a championship unless he catches lightening in a bottle. Any advantage he might have had in the infancy of the spread offense is gone now that everyone runs (and by extension) defends some aspects of it. Now he runs out teams that can't match up talentwise with the big boys. That is what you always got with RichRod and that is what you will always get.
