Dvddad does sounds better, although I'm sure someone will then call you David.<br /><br />You can take your pick of our own Reston signs to be liberated. There's one at the southwest corner of the intersection of Rt. 7 and Reston Parkway, and another on Lawyers Road just east of Twin Branches.Slightly Dyslexic Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-44654704902248406992010-01-18T21:54:42.815-05:002010-01-18T21:54:42.815-05:00Anonymous 10:34, first of all it's dvdmo_N_ (a...Anonymous 10:34, first of all it's dvdmo_N_ (as in Jamaican for man - no I'm not Jamaican and I'm also not made out of dvd's), not mom.

The Washington and Old Dominion Railroad (colloquially referred to as the W&OD) was an intrastate short-line railroad located in Northern Virginia. Its oldest line extended from Alexandria on the Potomac River northwest to Bluemont at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Snickers Gap, not far from the boundary line between Virginia and West Virginia. The railroad's route largely paralleled the routes of the Potomac River and the present Virginia Route 7..."<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_and_Old_Dominion_RailroadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-35367215016539561212010-01-18T10:34:05.808-05:002010-01-18T10:34:05.808-05:00dvdmom:

They even got the color right! Maybe some of the regulars on this blog could take a field trip up there and in the middle of the night grab this thing and put it in a semi and ship it back here - it could be the start of a great doppleganger collegiate-like prank competition?dvdmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826983459613642052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-55344584096894515032010-01-15T15:18:56.295-05:002010-01-15T15:18:56.295-05:00Did you hear that a group of high schoolers are pe...Did you hear that a group of high schoolers are petitioning the town to let them have their prom just across the road from town at that grain elevator?
