Ridin' that Train, Day 1, continued.

[darkemeralds]

On the Coast Starlight, about 25 miles south of Portland, rolling along, sample train dialog:

Sleeping Car Attendant [note: he is actually awake...]: Would you like to make dinner reservations?

Me: Sure! What's for dinner?

SCA: Well, tonight we have steak, salmon, or vegetable lasagna. Oh, and gay men.

Me: ...

roseambr: Could we have six o'clock?

SCA: I have two slots left at that time. *makes a note and leaves.*

roseambr: Game hen. That sounds good.

Me: Ha ha ha ha! Game hen.

It's one of those travel in-jokes that roseambr and I will snicker over for an unforgivably long time to come.

At least it wasn't Stuffed Cornish Gay Men...

Yeah, 'cause those guys? Really hard to understand their accent.

Lol!

Re: game hen. I would have had the same case of wishful hearing. :)

Sadly, the meals weren't nearly as good as the comedy. We had lots of laughs.

Seriouly, the guy had a voice and manner EXACTLY like Timothy Busfield. So picture Danny Concannon from West Wing or Cal from Studio 60 delivering that line. It was GREAT!
