I'm not going to break down
everything but there's a few bits and pieces I wanted to mention.
I have a feeling that if I'd known I was going to give my self a concussion while there, I probably might not have gone.
Nah... you still would've gone. Perhaps not without trepidation, but still...
I think for this report we are going to take a slightly different approach than we have in the past.
It'll be coherent? Sweet!
I am Nebo, my wife is Smidgy, also known as Steve and Diane, and this is my first trip report, so be kind to me.
Hi Steve, Hi Diane.
Welcome to the Dis.
Hopefully, this report will be the exception to the rule, which also means the trip as well, cuz to be honest, I'm really getting tired of pain.
Really? Thought you'd be used to it by now. Actually, it might be nice to read a TR where the focus
isn't on injuries or blood.
We fly out of Chicago to Orlando, hopefully we land without getting caught in any of the ubiquitous zip lines or hit a tall miniature golf windmill.
Nah, don't worry about it. The pilot will already have his hands full with congestion, micro-bursts, turbulence and mechanical failures.
Am I helping?
I finally talked a buddy of mine who lives back at home to come and stay here, with the proviso he has to feed the cats. I thought he would have jumped at the idea to get away from his folks and live on his own for a bit, but no, not really, not how he saw it.
I don't get it, geesh, they don't make young people like they used to.
You forgot to mention that he's extremely allergic to cats... but still, young people.
But as usual, you are all welcome to come along with for the ride, I guarantee ONE thing, we will have fun re-telling it, no matter what happens, we always do!
You got that right!
ok, I guess I'll come along.
(I meant on the trip, not the report!
)
Hmm, don't know the name, but the glass of wine looks familiar.

So do you feel lucky?
Great, by the time we are all done with her, she'll think she's being stalked.
I had the same thought.
Would you believe me if I told you I'm tempted to sign up for it?
Can you picture me running , jumping, climbing, throwing, oh what a chapter that would make!
If I lived to write it.
I can see you more tripping, falling, plunging,...
did I just use the phrase "namby pamby"?
Nope.
We have NEVER seen the parks, either one of them, at night!
Huh, you're right. That's not something that I would've thought of.
"Heard of what? "
"Herd of cattle."
"Sure I've heard of cattle".
"No, a cattle herd."

No you're not.
"Hello, my name is Nebo, and I had a flat tire!"
Hi Nebo!
Dinner that night is probably going to be BBQ Wings and Poppers and Fried Mushrooms. Now, that's some quality, healthy eatin' that is!
It doesn't count when you're on vacation. Sounds like a pretty good meal to me!
Hey, you never know after a couple of drinks, face it, you'd love to see me make a fool of myself up on stage, right?
As opposed to the fool you make of yourself when you're sober?
Sure, I guess so.
at POR, make sure to see Yee hah Bob at the bar!
I still can't believe that we never went over to see him.
(no, I am am NOT riding it. I will walk through the line with him though) actually, I'm always afraid something will go wrong when I do that , and they'll say, "no ma'am, you can't get out of the line from here. the honly way out is FORWARD. you got in the line, you have to ride it."
Well you did say that it was Nebo's show this time, so...
(I know, I'm skipping around, that's how my mind works; drives nebo crazy. "diane, you don't always have to say something just cause it comes to the top of your head, you know!".. but I am NOT easily distrac......squirrel!)
not sure what that mean, after all, anything is "walking distance" if you have the time!
I can't wait for when you decide to walk to Europe. Bring rubber boots.
I also have a stopwatch and I hope to TIME a lot of the rides, that can also come into effect when coming up with ratings.
I'm actually looking forward to that. I don't know if anyone (outside of UOG writers) has done that.
I just checked the Universal site, and it says that the show starts at 7 P.M. , which should be interesting because the park closes those nights at 6 P.M.
Oh, the show runs at 7... you just can't watch it.
Should anybody think of any head to head matchups not mentioned so far you'd like to see rated, let me know on that too, 'K?
It's been too long, so I can't even come close to helping you out there.
I also just found out that the karaoke at Citywalk is a bit fancier than normal;
instead of the special karaoke cd's, they have a live band to play the music includinjg back up singers, just thinking iof that has me already intimidated.
I say, go anyway. Watch a few people and decide then if it's out of your league. Probably won't be is my guess.
And don't you want to kill the duet that always gets up there and sings all 23 verses of American Pie?
Well.... considering I've never, ever, been to a karaoke place. I guess the answer would have to be no. But I can see how it might be a tad annoying.
And for the ET ride, for those that never rode it, you have to give a name in the beginning in the queue, that ET will say goodbye to at the end,
That's one of the few things that I remember about the park. I remember Ruby and I burst out laughing. We had no idea that was going to happen.
This is something that happens when you get older, you become more and more amazed at the passing of time.
I remember I couldn't wait for break time at work, where I'd then run to the computer in my boss's office and check to see if anybody posted on my "Still Feeding Nebo" trip report, afterwards.
And now you cringe when you see "last posted" was pkondz.
Times change.
Hoop de Doo! Of defintately I know I've missed a lot of the one liners in theis show,,, yeah, more I think about it, the more excited I get to go and see it.
You sound like a kid at Christmas. And I'm happy for you.
By the way, we are flying American, so if anybody should hear anything bad concerning them again, PLEASE let us know!
Oh, a golden opportunity to prey on your fears.
But I'm not gonna do it again. Just relax and have fun while you're there, okay?
(somebody please point out to Smidgy that I spelled "Revue" in it's correct tense! You know how tents she gets when you misuse Review when speaking in terms of shows. )
Smidgy, Nebo spelt revue rite.
Your walcome.
More than likely I'll be on here one more time tomorrow,
Hope so, otherwise I'll have missed wishing you both a very wonderful, fun and hopefully injury free trip!
