Oh shit, I forgot all about the Heartland Flyer. That's a General Electric P42DC locomotive, part of their Genesis series which is unique locomotive due to it's low profile.thunderspirit wrote:Well, the Heartland Flyer boards in Oklahoma City and travels to Fort Worth, TX.Wounded Bear wrote:What in the hell does that have to do with trains?BearBudMan wrote:What's up all.

Speaking of A-Train, Introducing Jimmy Garoppolo, who had an A-Train jersey when he was a kid...BearBudMan wrote:Yeah, no doubt... there's Thomas, the little engine that could and Anthony Thomas.
https://247sports.com/nfl/chicago-bears/Bolt/Jimmy-Garoppolo-is-excited-to-make-49ers-starting-debut-vs-Bears-111428160“Of course I was a Bears fan. Obviously I had the Urlacher jersey, but I had the A-Train (Anthony Thomas) jersey as well,” Garoppolo said Wednesday, via Adam Hoge of WGN Radio.
I look forward to Lamarr Houston tearing his ACL after his epic sack of Garoppolo makes SF punt with 4 minutes to go in the game, with SF clinging to a 42-3 lead.

Name: Elijah
From: Small town in Minnesota growing up, currently a suburb of Minneapolis
Bears fan since:2011/2012 (Sort of, see the Misc. comments)
Fave food: Pizza, burgers, buffalo wings, fried chicken, cheese curds, and too many others too list
Fave drink: Diet Mountain Dew, Cola, Coffee, Grape Juice, Grapefruit Juice, Apple Juice, Gatorade - I can't choose just one haha
Misc:Took an interest in the Bears when I first got into football around 2011/2012. Wasn't sure if the Vikings were moving to Los Angeles which was all over the media at the time and about the only thing you ever heard on the news (and well, I could never stand the Vikings fans here as a kid even though I didn't like football growing up) and I absolutely hated the Packers and still do. I eventually ended up finding the 1985 Superbowl somewhere online and watched it, along with some old 80s Bears commercials I found on youtube, but I mostly followed the Vikings at first cause all my family and relatives do and they are the team that airs on TV here in Minnesota, but have been officially rooting for the Bears exclusively now. Can not stand the Vikings, and I HATE the Packers!
I also love this commercial for NFL 2k on the Sega Dreamcast with Jim McMahon and Randy Moss.

You're looking for what's called a "theme!" That can be changed by doing the following:
1. Click "control panel" below the site banner
2. Select "Board Preferences" under the Options section of your control panel
"My board style" lets you switch between the "Home" theme (dark) and "Away" (light).
