Oh sure. I used to believe that drinking milk protected one from a hangover. It just gave me gas and made things worse. I had heard the same thing about castor oil, but never tried it. I think the character Lard *** in the movie "Stand by Me" loaded up on it before the pie eating contest and horizontal projectile vomiting. Come to think of it, Lard *** was a character in a story told by a character in the movie. There's a name for that. I like the concept.
Still haven't worked out that Electroburger thing.

In the matter of Mr. Moreau's current whereabouts and doings
Just for a little context here...
http://www.hometownlife.com/HomeTownLife/NewsSearch.asp?pageType=Story&StoryID=85912
I'm not sure if I like this or not, Bill.
If, indeed, Mr. Moreau has found a more spiritual path than he may have had during his tour at Lionel, and that path leads to more benign behavior, I salute him.
Please understand that the rest of this is tongue in cheek. I am going to stack the deck as is often done by some religeous extremists when they oppose conventional science or wisdom. I will exploit quote mining and slander. I will not use libel. Here we go...
1) How much of the income from this publication is used in support of Mr. Moreau's congregation or for wholesome causes championed by that congregation. Are there any wholesome causes championed by that congregation? Does Mr. Moreau tithe?
2) From the article: Mr. Moreau is 50. He has children who are 3 years and 20 months. He has a wife named Charlotte of undetermined age.
3) Mr. Moreau attends Kensington Community Church in Troy, MI. Going to the website for that church, we find in the "About Us" link:
I'll bet they are very compelling.
A lecture sequence goe like this:
I think Mr. Moreau might be in phase 2 above.
No further comment is needed for this one.
4) From the article:
5) From the article:
6) From the article:
7) There is no mention, whatsoever, of Mr. Moreau in the Lionel History in the Lionel web site.
Finally, I'll raise the question... What is Mr. Moreau's connection to the current situation, Mike Wolf, and Asian manufacturers?

We'll Help You Lose Your Religion.
No Hymns, No Pews
Instead of ritual and routine, we have compelling dramas, comedy skits, and exciting multi-media.
I'll bet they are very compelling.
we approach church with a wide range of artistic expression and a sense of humor
A lecture sequence goe like this:
“Soul and the Great Life”
"Financing the Great Life"
“Seizing the Great Life"
I think Mr. Moreau might be in phase 2 above.
Admit it. All of us make bad choices at some time or another.
No further comment is needed for this one.
4) From the article:
After decades in the working world, Moreau, 50, grew disillusioned with the direction corporate America was heading
5) From the article:
What was he thinking at Lionel?Moreau acknowledges that businesses must be profitable in order to survive
6) From the article:
former, indeed.Moreau, a former top executive with companies
7) There is no mention, whatsoever, of Mr. Moreau in the Lionel History in the Lionel web site.
Finally, I'll raise the question... What is Mr. Moreau's connection to the current situation, Mike Wolf, and Asian manufacturers?

Hey, I'm nine years old, third grade at Immaculate Heart of Mary School.
Sumbitch nun made a fool of me in front of the whole class. Called me a liar.
Of course, I was. Said I didn't throw the mustard down the table on HotDog Day, when I did.
One year away from having to become an altar boy because I got the second highest grade in religion, then I got in trouble because I didn't learn The Confiteor, in latin, fast enough, and my piety was in question.
Even thinking about sex was a mortal sin.
When I had to pour the water and wine into the monsignor's chalice at Mass, It was nine parts wine, one part water. Then he licked it dry.
Catholic school through the twelth grade.
No wonder I fell apart in college.

Geez Pete! What a nightmare! At age 8, I chose to leave the Church after two arguments with the nun that taught Sunday school. She just couldn't understand why I would prefer to practice Judaism like Jesus, and told me that, because I had been baptised as a Roman Catholic, I'd burn in hell if I changed religions. Even at my young age, I knew she was full of it . The second argument was over who was the good Samaritan. Our choice was this: two men find buried treasure. One gives it all to the Church, and the other keeps it. I answered that it would depend on the men's circumstances. If the man that kept the money had a large family to provide for at home, his keeping the money would also make him a good Samaritan, since "charity begins at home." That pissed her off to no end and I was told to leave. I took this to mean forever, and for which I have kept that promise to this day. One of the smartest choices I ever made!
By the way, it's 1955 for me. Two months before James Dean's demise.
