The point being why make up new abbreviations for things that have been around since moby dick was a minnow. Heck why not MDLRLRDR?

How did this get way off topic?
I seem to recall many train set cars decorated for Hershey - were there a prototype for any of those cars?
Wikipedia says there was also a Hershey railway in Cuba...

That would make a good personalized license plate but too many letters for Minnesota vehicles.

That's funny! No, I meant the MDLRLRDR as a vanity plate. We can only have seven characters here in MN.

I'm still trying to figure out what "MDLRLRDR " means?
Besides, what's with you rich people who can afford retirement homes?
Why don't you live in a cave or under a rock like the rest of us?

I consider myself quite lucky that my wife of 47 years allows me to live in the basement and didn't send me to a retirement home
Gee, this thread sure went south in a hurry! Guess I'll grab another handful of Hersey's Kisses and check the other postings
