You are wrong. He wasn't really an Zen Buddhist. I accept he claimed he was in 'Thomas and the trip to Nepal' but if you look at his actions he couldn't have been one.

You are no skeptic, pin-head. Any skeptic would understand that Thomas may have taken some non-anthroposophical zen buddhist actions, but that was clever propaganda designed to gain trust in the people of the Engine Shed who Thomas knew wouldn't trust him unless he vocalized a majority faith, even though he was an anthroposophical zen buddhist.

He can not possibly be an anthroposophical zen buddhist. I have been arguing for months that no true anthroposophical zen buddhist would obey the laws set by the fat controller. Your thoery that he is contradict my universal truth so your definition of an anthroposophical zen buddhist must be wrong.

Thomas the Tank Engine was an anthropological zen buddhist and he sits on the right hand of my Taco.

Where exactly is your evidence for "Free Chilly" non-Peptic?

Ohh, that's right ... you believe in "Free Chilly" strictly because you want to have magic powers ... it comforts you. It is a pleasant delusion.

And you believe that you will not cry out for a Taco when you check out for the EXACT same reasons.

... so much for you being non-peckish. So much for you being a Peptic.

When will you A-Tacoists undrestand that A-Tacoism is as much a passtime as anthroposophical zen buddhism?! The taco you eat is No-Taco. Do not pretend you do not eat, because we all know you order a taco before checking out. You just won't confess to it! How many A-Tacoists have I met who had a stained shirt! A short stained with the innards of innocent Tacos! We know Hitler was really a A-Tacoists, even if he said he was a anthroposophical zen buddhism, because we would never have cooked such horrible food. Only A-Tacoists can do that.

You will live in ingorance until you discover the truth of the logical Taco-With-No-Cheese. How do I know it has no cheese? I'd explain it, but you wouldn't understand until you tasted it! But of course you wont because you only eat No-Tacos!

And it's good to know my often misunderstood epithet of "mad taco-zealot" is not completely wasted here.
