So, this morning I get on my train, crowded as usual, so I slide into a seating area by the conductor. The seat is removed, but at least I have some space to hang my bag and read the paper for a little while.
The long hair pony-tailed conductor comes back up the car checking tickets. After he checks mine, he opens the door to his compartment. As he closes it I notice a flash on his right hand . . .
The Magnum ring . . .
I didn't see him again on the ride, otherwise I would have made a comment, but I smiled.

Re: Magnum moment on the LIRR
That's pretty cool. Yesterday I had to go to the local courthouse to file some papers. The security guy was wearing an MIA bracelet. He noticed that I put mine in the x-ray bin as I was going through. We struck up a conversation. Although MPI was never mentioned, we each told the stories of the men on our respective bracelets.ConchRepublican wrote:So, this morning I get on my train, crowded as usual, so I slide into a seating area by the conductor.

"But Higgins, I can explain."
Conch,
If you were on your 'normal' train you may see him again....
Did you really have a MPI gathering last week? I read the post too late to attend. How did it go?
I actually get together with 2 other MPI fans from the NE a few times a year. Let me know if you are interested in joining...

That's the thing, he was an unfamiliar face on my usual train. I wonder if they had a schedule rotation of something.Miss Q wrote:Conch,

I was half expecting someone here to post "hey, that was me!"
Higgy Baby put something together at Otto's Shrunken Head on 14th Street, unfortunately I wasn't able to make it. I heard it went well!

For some reason, this immediately brings to mind Gollum from Lord of the Rings. "Precious... my precious! You can't have it!" LOL!ConchRepublican wrote:As he closes it, I notice a flash on his right hand . . .

If you see him again, you should just point to yours and smile.

Higgins: It's not a scratch! It's a bloody gouge!
