<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 198916, member: 4552"]AHHH the Adams family. With the distruction of trains that program is not so far fetched as you may think. When we were kids we used to take our Lionel and American Flyer trains outside, run the tracks for hundreds of feet down the sidewalk, put the lead soldiers on the trains and let them rip at full speed. The shoot at them with BB guns, throw firecrackers at them, blow up the tracks with homemade bombs.</p><p> </p><p>And ROY, yes that was the one where a counterfeiter made the coins off center so they could not stand on the edge. So many times they took valuable coins and stood them up on the edge to show they were the real ones. Of course they would them fall eventually. However, I found myself constantly saying to the TV set "NO, NO, NO don't touch that coin with your hands" "AHHH! Stop flipping that coin you idiot. It could fall on the ground". Then I called the TV set a lot of nasty names when the Balliff marked the coin for an exhibit of the case. Of course I knew my comments were about 50 years to late but it made me feel good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
