How Many Times Should You Say ‘Chugga’ Before ‘Choo Choo’? The Debate Is On.

In case you don't read the linked article, I have to share this funny choo choo giphy of Thomas:

This is so ponderous. I was hoping no one would ever ask.

Is two not enough, is four too many? I'm going to say 'three' and hope I'm not ostracized by the toddler community.

I like my train to go a long, long way . . . so I'm a proponent of TWELVE chugga chuggas, in sets of four each, topped of course by a very enthusiastic CHOO! CHOO!!

A cadence of eight 'chuggas" (or four "chugga chuggas") per CHOO CHOO! would seem to me to be the optimal ratio...

I think at least ten chuggas are required before a choo choo. Anything less would be premature and anti-climactic.

Two if it's a quick hit. If you're going for the full effect, eight (two sets of four) chugga's per choo choo. Anything else is psychotic.

Am I the only one that thinks thinks they should be said in pairs?

No, I don't think think so.

Apparently, you think that think should be used in pairs so at least you're consistent.

You realize, of course, it has been something like 70 years or more, since the diesel-electrics started taking over, that train engines actually went "chugga-chugga-choo-choo"?

Four is the optimum number. Rhythmically, philosophically, and spiritually, four is the correct number.

chugga chugga
chugga chugga
CHOO-CHOO

It is obvious to the meanest of intelligences that this is so.

You may now bow and promise never to stray from the straight and narrow again. Amen.
