Thumping Our Way Through Disneyland.

[cjlvsccm]

Hi Thumpers!! I just got caught up with the last 10 pages. What? I've been busy!

Enjoying the chapters, lots of fun was had. And revenge, apparently.

Going way back here... Hey Heather, no one else got the Lightning Sand line?? Princess Bride was the first movie I ever paid to see more than once. Right up my alley.

 

[Mom&RN]

Lady H and T Man, I've been MIA off the DIS for almost two months (had a few big life events happen that kept me hopping) but am back and looking forward to catching up on your TR.

 

[pkondz]

What are we doin’ today?
We got no place to go.
Gotta get out of this bed
Hey sleepy head, come along with me.

Mighty fine out today.
Lets makes this one lazy day
We can take it nice and easy
You know it won’t be long till we’ll, we’ll be

Down by the pool being lazy, come as you please
Down by the pool being lazy, with our Disboards family.
If you’re all alone, you won’t be long
Just sit right down and sing this song
Down by the pool being lazy, everybody follow me.

I know I'm going to feel stupid when you tell me, but.... nope. Don't recognize the song.

Lady H ended saying I would entertain you. I’ll do my best and give it another try because I have no talent. Zip, nada, zilch.

It's always nice when one recognizes ones shortcomings.


(jk. you done good.)

Oh my neck. Oh my back. Oh my neck and my back. I’m gonna sue Disney for $500,000, but we can settle out of court right now for some free passes.

That seems like a pretty good settlement. As long as you sign non-disclosure agreements, I can't see how Disney could pass up that offer.

Today would be a slo ride, take it easy type of day.

That song, I know.

I promised Lady H we would take a break while on vacation

ah. You're a wiser man than I, oh Man-'o-bunnies. I didn't schedule in a break and I broke Ruby.

Major plan for the day is to sit by the pool, in the pool, staying cool and trying not to act like fools.

Well three out of four ain't bad.

We slept until about 9 this morning. Which when you stop and think about it, is sleeping late for us; since we’ve been up every morning at around 6.

Have kids and you'll never ever sleep til 9 ever again.

Did I ever mention my name is We'll?

<everybody> "Hi, We'll."

When ever I hear "We'll need to clean the yard this weekend" translate to, "T_Man, you need to clean the yard this weekend."

Sleeping beauty is still talking to the bears.

Pardon? Did you just say that she's sleeping in the bare?

I take our laundry into the living room and sort out our laundry. Red shirt goes washed with Lady H’s white blouse.

I actually did that once. A white shirt got mixed in somehow with the colors and...

oh, the horror.

Yes, I know. Who does laundry on vacation?

Ruby... when she needs a break from commando style touring and me.

Oops, forgot the bleach for the darks.

I've also lost a couple of black socks that way too...

Up the stairs, 50 paces straight ahead, turn left and walk 10 more paces; turn and shoot.

very nice segue.

And why isn't that spelled segway?

We find two lungers (as Nebo would call them) between the pool and hot tub.

No, I didn’t turn Lady H’s white shirt pink. It’s now a nice dark red.

Someone had taken our laundry out of the washing machine and had just put them on top of the washing machine so he/she could use it. GRRRR!!!! They could’ve at least put it in the dryer for me. Which is kind of a good thing they didn’t though. We have some moisture wicking clothes that shouldn’t be dried in the dryer.

So just to be clear. You're mad because they didn't put your clothes in a dryer, but you would've been mad if they'd put your clothes in a dryer?

Payback is a, well you know the saying to that.

I know! I know! "Payback is a dish best served with a side of coleslaw."

Right?

The clothes that needed to be air dried, I hung on the back of the chairs, over the sofa, the bed, balcony chairs and table. How many else do this on vacation?

<cricket> <cricket> <cricket>

Actually I have a pop up drying rack that folds down into a compact size no larger then a fanny pack.


Okay, I don't have that, but wouldn't that be a great idea? Go ahead and patent it if you wish, but I want shared credit.

She took them out of the washer and put them into the only available dryer. Thankfully I was there or she may have tried to steal the dryer next.

I must've read that 1/2 dozen times.

There's only one dryer and she's using it. So why does he say she'll try and steal it? Does he mean she'll walk out with a machine? She's so evil that she'll physically haul a dryer up to her room?

Finally, the nickel dropped.

whoops, I accidentally hit the dial on her dryer. My bad. Her clothes looked like they needed to be fluffed dry anyway.

So you're actually doing her a service. That's nice. Glad to see you took the high road.

:

One of us is going to land up on the baggage cart if we don’t stop and get something to eat soon.

Not if Curly beats you to it.

We were waiting until we got paid which just so happened to be today as a matter of fact. Well not today, today; but it was today back then.

So today is today yesterday and tomorrow it'll be today except when you're referring to yesterday's today tomorrow?

Nebo finds it hard to believe they sell pizza. Here's the proof.

That's not proof! You could've ordered that pizza anywhere and thrown an animal print tablecloth under it.

Nope. Not buying it.

We keep with our usual tradition and have our nightly drink out on the patio. Seems we made quite a dent in the case of beer we had left. There’s only a 6 pack left. We each have one so we can have a couple before our departure home.

That's better then loaves and fishes! You have only a six pack left. Then you each have one six pack and there's still a couple of six packs left!

Thanks again everyone for sticking with us. We’re almost done.

Thanks for the chapter!

Hi Thumpers!! I just got caught up with the last 10 pages. What? I've been busy!

Understandable. We've been busy too. To think we almost took this trip a year ago and we're still not done talking about it.

Enjoying the chapters, lots of fun was had. And revenge, apparently.

Revenge?! Its not my fault that the button accidentally got turned to air dry. I plead the 5th.

 

[Thumper_Man]

Lady H and T Man, I've been MIA off the DIS for almost two months (had a few big life events happen that kept me hopping) but am back and looking forward to catching up on your TR.

I would think graduating and getting a job would be a big life event. Takes away from Dis time. Glad to see you're back here and on Nebo's TR. Hopefully it won't be too much longer that it's back to just being Nebo's TR's. Thanks for sticking it out with us.

 

[Thumper_Man]

I know I'm going to feel stupid when you tell me, but.... nope. Don't recognize the song.

You mean I actually have you stumped? You didn't Gurgle it? I'll wait a little bit longer before I provide a link to the answer. In true T_Man fashion, I did change a few words but not many.

That seems like a pretty good settlement. As long as you sign non-disclosure agreements, I can't see how Disney could pass up that offer.

You're batting 0 for 2 here my friend. I used a movie reference here.

That song, I know.

Finally in the ball game. 1 for 3

ah. You're a wiser man than I, oh Man-'o-bunnies. I didn't schedule in a break and I broke Ruby.

Yeah, well I had to. As you can see by Lady H's pic of her feet, I almost broke her to. If not, then she might have turned around and broken me.

Well three out of four ain't bad.

Yeah. It was hot outside again so it was hard to stay cool.

Have kids and you'll never ever sleep til 9 ever again.

Its like that now. D'MIL lives with us. Need I say more?

Pardon? Did you just say that she's sleeping in the bare?

I will neither confirm or deny that. Family board.

I actually did that once. A white shirt got mixed in somehow with the colors and...

oh, the horror.

You mean this isn't normal?

Ruby... when she needs a break from commando style touring and me.

And you ask me about Lady H about sleeping bare? I don't really need to know about Ruby touring commando style. TMI.

So just to be clear. You're mad because they didn't put your clothes in a dryer, but you would've been mad if they'd put your clothes in a dryer?

Exactly.

I know! I know! "Payback is a dish best served with a side of coleslaw."

Right?

Well if you're like me that doesn't like coleslaw, then right.

Actually I have a pop up drying rack that folds down into a compact size no larger then a fanny pack.

Okay, I don't have that, but wouldn't that be a great idea? Go ahead and patent it if you wish, but I want shared credit.

Actually something like this has been done already. We have a portable clothes hanger we use. Hangs in the shower. I may have a way to improve on this item though.

I must've read that 1/2 dozen times.

There's only one dryer and she's using it. So why does he say she'll try and steal it? Does he mean she'll walk out with a machine? She's so evil that she'll physically haul a dryer up to her room?

Finally, the nickel dropped.

Yeah, I read this a couple of times as well. I meant to correct it, but was just in a hurry to get a chapter up.

There are 6 washers and 6 dryers. 5 of the 6 dryers were being used. I was using 2. I was afraid if I left, she would take our clothes out of one of the dryers I was using. Thankfully there was one not being used, so our clothes didn't get tossed out of the dryer.

So you're actually doing her a service. That's nice. Glad to see you took the high road.

:

Thank you. Anything to help out a fellow timeshare owner.

Not if Curly beats you to it.

Good thing it didn't come to that.

So today is today yesterday and tomorrow it'll be today except when you're referring to yesterday's today tomorrow?

No, today is Thursday which was today 8 months ago which I was writing about today, which was actually yesterday; and next week, I'll write about Friday which I'll refer to as today, but at the current moment will be tomorrow since we're still talking about today.

That's not proof! You could've ordered that pizza anywhere and thrown an animal print tablecloth under it.

Nope. Not buying it.

You don't have to buy it, but it sure was good.

That's better then loaves and fishes! You have only a six pack left. Then you each have one six pack and there's still a couple of six packs left!

Well if this was true, then there would only be one 6 pack left and 4 beers since we each had one. Unfortunately there were only 6 beers left and after each having one, there were only 4 beers left. Plus the Simply Lemonade bottles.

Thanks for the chapter!

Thanks as always.

 

[pkondz]

Revenge?! Its not my fault that the button accidentally got turned to air dry. I plead the 5th.

Ya know, I started to wonder if anyone's ever posted a TR where they've said, "And such and such happened but I got even by doing blank."
And then somebody else posts, "That was me!!!"

Thanks for sticking it out with us.

Hey! What about me?!?!

Oh, wait... you said, "sticking it out with us."
Sorry, I thought you said "sticking it to us."

Oh, almost forgot...

Got our Wunderbars while we were in Vegas. They were good. A little bet better than Zebra Domes IMO.

WHAT????????????????? Better than... better than....

I can't say it. I just. Can't.

 

[pkondz]

You mean I actually have you stumped? You didn't Gurgle it? I'll wait a little bit longer before I provide a link to the answer. In true T_Man fashion, I did change a few words but not many.

Nope. Did Google it but didn't see it, too.

You're batting 0 for 2 here my friend. I used a movie reference here.

Oh, fine. I try and write something amusing instead and this is what I get.
Fine.
The answer you're looking for is:
"Man, get your punk @&& up. It ain't even wet over here. Damn."

Happy now?

Sheesh.

Its like that now. D'MIL lives with us. Need I say more?

No. You poor, poor man. My condolences on the loss of your man cave.

And you ask me about Lady H about sleeping bare? I don't really need to know about Ruby touring commando style. TMI.

TMI? Well then I guess I won't post the pictures.

Actually something like this has been done already. We have a portable clothes hanger we use. Hangs in the shower.

Dang. There goes my royalties.

Ok. I waited to see if anyone else had any guesses.

I changed the lyrics to "Down By The Pool Being Lazy." Click on my song title to listen to the original version.

No. You poor, poor man. My condolences on the loss of your man cave.

Thank you for your sympathy. If anyone, I knew you would understand.

TMI? Well then I guess I won't post the pictures.

Considering she didn't let you post pictures of her from your Hawaiian trip, I really doubt she would let you post those type of pictures. You would not only lose your man cave, but everything that goes with it.

 

[pkondz]

'Course I'm at work now, so it'll hafta wait 'til I get home.

That's one thing I don't have to worry about.

It's already all gone. I'm surrounded by potpourri and throw pillows.

 

[Mom&RN]

I would think graduating and getting a job would be a big life event. Takes away from Dis time. Glad to see you're back here and on Nebo's TR. Hopefully it won't be too much longer that it's back to just being Nebo's TR's. Thanks for sticking it out with us.

I couldn't leave you and Lady H! The new job definately kept me busy but, unfortunately, what has really kept me busy is that my son was just diagnosed with Diabetes and ended up in the hospital in ICU for three days because his blood sugar was so high when he was first diagnosed. Thankfully I recognized the symptoms before it was too horrible (ICU was horrible enough). Big life change for our family, especially my son. We all love food (A LOT, more than we should) so we're working on loving healthy food... My son is doing awesome, I'm super proud of him.

Sorry to hear you had such a rough time, but glad you're son's doing better now.

I've never heard that song before. Which kinda shocked me. You'd think with it being such a catchy tune that it would've gotten enough air time that I'd remember it?

Had to laugh though... I wonder how many people, back in those more trusting days, figured out that they weren't actually playing the instruments or singing live?

You mean they weren't?

I don't even remember how I stumbled upon that song. I think I did a search for lazy songs and that one came up on a list. New I had to find a way to use it. That wasn't even the first video I saw. After watching the first video I had seen, I saw the related searches and that's when I found this video.

Hopefully I'll have another chapter up this week. See if we can get this done once and for all. Nebo and Smidgy will probably go and come on another WDW trip, and we still won't be done reporting this one.

I knew you wouldn't abandon us. I would expect it from Nebo, but not you.

Glad to hear your son is doing better. Guess all those years of school paid off huh?

 

[Mom&RN]

Thanks for the kind words Ponzi and T Man. Nothing like having my education come in handy in a very real way! Thankfully my son is willing to take my advice and not ignore his Momma

 

[bankr63]

And you ask me about Lady H about sleeping bare? I don't really need to know about Ruby touring commando style. TMI.

I just figured that's why it was time to do laundry - no clean gitch.
