Kindergarten teacher charged with drinking in class http://www.cbsnews.com/news/kinderga.../#postComments I'd need a drink too if I had to put up with a room full of 5 year olds all day. 
It always blows my mind as to how people get hit by trains. WTF? Its not like its going to sneak up on you, and its not going to veer over and chase you down. The freakin' thing is on a TRACK!! You know exactly where its going to be!

Maybe they should have gotten a police dog to track him down.

As a kid I was really into model railroads with my Dad. (Our family has a lot of railroad history.) I had this RR crossing stop sign made from wood*. And I got this sticker in a box of Cracker Jacks that I placed on it. For a long time I thought it said "Stop look & listen".
But I finally looked at it close and it actually said "Stop kook & listen". rofl I should have known being out of Cracker Jacks.
(* I can't remember the name of the 60's toy - it was like 1/4" dowel rod of different lengths that would fit into pre-drilled holes in square and round connector blocks and you could sort of build things.
I had them with a set of Lincoln Logs.)

Tinker toys, Legos, Lincoln Logs.....toys for girly boys. My fav from around 1960 was the Remco Bulldog Tank and it would shred the bejusus out of those wimpy building blocks. Even as an 8 year old I was a politically incorrect right wing war monger.

Since the new TMS likes to put stories about Mustangs street racing on the front page, maybe they'll put this one on the front page.

No. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a dork, but if I was as dorky as that guy I sure as sh*t wouldn't be showing myself on a YouTube vid.
But his Bulldog tank sure brought back some great memories. Looks like some nice examples on Ebay that survived the 60's somehow.
