The Really Useful Engines and the Flesh-Eating Bacteria!

Yeah, that's the "Untold Story." You wouldn't believe the dirty looks other parents will give you for screwing with the Thomas narrative. It was a sad, sad day when Sir Topam hat came down with the flesh-eating staph. He wasn't very useful then, was he kids? Preachy, self-important, moralising prig-he totally had it coming. "Look kids, Sir Topam has a festering wound that won't heal...whoa! What happened to his arm? Didn't he used to have an arm there?"

So yeah, ten in the morning. That was fun. I looked at the poor actors trying to sing and dance and thought, " That's why you don't major in drama". Imagine a summer touring all the really exciting cities of the American Midwest like Lincoln, and Duluth, and Racine.
"He's the one, he's the one, he's the Really Useful Engine (with only a little flesh-eating bacteria) he's the one...."

It was kind of amusing when halfway through Danny started making "talking" motions with his hand and stated "Too much jabbering, not enough trains." That was great. I do think the show was aimed at slightly younger children, but overall Danny seemed to have a good time.

I do hope they get that flesh-eating thing under control though.
