As a full-time sngineer and 2nd time college student minoring in cluelessness, I have to know if there is a story behind the line in your signature, 'Buy Whizzo Butter'.

I'm also a model railroader, and the layout I have under construction is going to be populated with all kinds of obscure inside jokes and pop-culture references. As examples, one of my industries will be the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, complete with rooftop sign that says 'Go Stick Your Head in A Pig'; or the Paradise Theater with the marquee saying 'Temporarily Closed'.

Why the long ramble? BWB strikes me as something to put up on a billboard, if the story is good enough.

Maybe ... see this Monty Python sketch? (http://www.stone-dead.asn.au/tv-series/sketches/fc-01/whizzo-butter.html)

That qualifies as a bona fide obscure pop culture reference, and a good one besides.

Now, to order that billboard kit...

So vunderbob will you take pictures of your pop-reference-railroad for all to see? Sounds like it'd be pretty funny.

I will, if I don't die of old age before it's done.:p
