Canadian Buffoon's Disney With a Teen Vacation - 08/13 - The Wrap

[jandlinz]

Have the best time! Take lots of pictures for us!!!!

 

[pkondz]

For mousekeeping, huh???

That kills me!
I immediately thought of dollars for "ones".
"Okay." I thought. "What do I need ones for?"

And of course, the inevitable immediately popped into my head.


Well, it's a family board, so I had to think a while longer....
"Ah. Mousekeeping. That'll work."

Except I always leave a fiver.

Well it took you long enough to finally get to the point! I should have known better than to read the whole post.

Welcome to the longest week of the year.

Actually it's going by too fast!
I got crap to do and no time to do it!!

Well, that part's not boring. Just torture.

Like I said to Andy.
Ain't got no time for that!

Well from what you told us. I thinkit's actually one week until Vancouver airport. Tomorrow it's one week until Maui.

Still

While true, it still counts as leaving on a vacation.
Regardless of where we spend our first night!

 

[pkondz]

Whoops! Somehow missed replying to this.
Sorry Tammie!

Tap dance, maybe?

This is do-able.

Yikes! That is almost as scarey as arguing with you daughter on a Disney ride

Nope. Nothing is that scary.

Okay, now I double quoted and can't find the spot to correct it on this tab the sun is making it hard to see....anyway, about the planning, HAKU A MATATA! it's Hawaii, relax already! I'm sure you will find fun things to do, but go to the beach and relax! It sounds like you two work really hard and you deserve a break.

Well, I dunno about me, but Ruby sure works hard and could use a break.

I don't do the PTR either. I don't keep readers around long enough to finish my TR, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want to know what I packed in my suitcase.

Yep. I can see your PTR now...

17 pairs of socks.... check!
17 pairs of undies... check!
whip... check!
toothbrush... check!
toothpaste... check!
hair brush... check!

etc.

If I don't make it back before you leave, aloha and have a Mai Tai for me!

Thanks, Tammie!

P.s. update posted, sort of the sunshine was calling my name.

Saw that!

and speaking of Tomorrowland, I liked it too! We just watched it again on Monday.

And I forgot you are not a sit on the beach person. Okay snorkel and relax!

I think the big plan right now is to just chill as much as possible...
While being at least-semi entertained.

 

[pkondz]

Oh boy! This is gonna be good, I can tell! What a hook!

I know how to bring in the crowds.

Ugh, grammar lessons. Never mind.

And send 'em running for an exit.

But you have to get to zero when you count down. You can't stop at one. Unless the bomb doesn't go off in an action movie.

I actually thought of that.
Except I was thinking more of a rocket launch.
Which, I suppose is kind of like a bomb.
Except when I think bomb, I think "Ishtar".

On your iPod, have you ever asked Siri to divide zero by zero? It's awesome.

I just did!

And drivers! I love to tell the other drivers that they're number one. <--- Like that!

Always nice to wave at people!

Hey, don't sell yourself short there.

You're right. I've written some real stinkers....
this one is only in the top three or four.

I'm sure it will go by VERY quickly.

It actually is. I'm not ready yet!!!

 

[pkondz]

What day do you leave?

Wednesday.

And when do you get back?

Monday.
Although I think I'll be pretty wiped by the time we roll into town.

My friend's have just left for a three week vacation in South America. Two weeks will be on a cruise starting in Sao Paolo and ends in Chile. That would be cool!

Nice!

I'm stuck here in Ohio with the cold and snow. Unfortunately, winter has come. Hopefully it won't last very long.

That cold zapped a huge area... yours included.

Will you be discussing two next?

Who knows!

 

[cinderkelly]

In case I don't get back here before you leave for Maui, just wanted to wish you a wonderful trip!

Blue skies and sunshine!

 

[laura74]

Ponzi! I was looking for TGM's trip report and found this! I'm glad you took one of your kids this time! I just booked a trip so in my usual fashion I show up on the disboards when I am excited about it. Looking forward to reading about your trip. I am only at your math story problem of a contest and I have to say I am glad I missed it. It's making my brain hurt. I still have your prize from my latest unfinished trip report. The post office is a mile away yet I still have it in my drawer. One of these days... Can't wait to hear about what it was like to travel with Kay...and in August no less!

 

[pkondz]

Well you can't put the smiley in there or it'll seem like you don't really believe it.

That wasn't an "I don't really believe it" smiley.
That was a "This is an inside joke" smiley.

Couldn't you tell by the subtle juxtaposition of the closed eye?

The fastest guy has already passed you so you can't trip him. Sure you could outrun the slowest one but why bother? Trip him and just walk away, saving your energy for the inevitable next bunch of zombies. They tend to sneak up on you all at once, not even making a sound until you turn around and notice they're there.

Huh. I'll be darned.
I stand corrected.

Well, I did until you tripped me...
Hey! Stop trying to eat my brain!
Stop! Stop that! Knock it off! Hey!!!














brainssssss....

Like in cartoons when they can walk off a cliff but don't fall until they look down.

Never look down. That's what does it.
Ever seen a blind man fall off a cliff?
Nope.
And you never will.

Not bad??? The correct reply was "funniest thing ever!"

Funniest thing ever!


Actually, I was going to post a video that was funny
and say "This is funnier!"
So I Googled "Funniest video of all time."

Wow. Boring.

But I do like this one:

Your jealousy was all I've ever really wanted.

Life goal complete.
How I envy you.

(Just a little bonus there for ya.)

Nice one!!! Did the DVR just cut if off or was it never actually played?

I don't think it played.

What did you think? I hated it.

Well...

Spoiler

Since I didn't know if I was ever going to see the episode, I checked the episode guide and already knew he was going to die. Didn't know how, though.

Plus it had been so long since we'd seen an episode
that it was great just to see it.

Spoiler, .... (not that anyone else reads my crap)


I wish they would have ended the whole thing two seasons earlier when they blew up Gus. That would have been perfect. Of course I was rooting for Walt up until the end after most people had turned on him.


end spoiler

That was one of my favourite scenes.
When he walks out of the room and straightens his tie.

Perfect.

It's really good so far. I also forgot to list Mad Men. That was entertaining for the first few seasons then it got sort of annoying.

So.... watch it and get hooked and then hate it?

Check.

Thanks so much for getting that song stuck in my head

You're welcome!

I'll get you back for that.

eep!


oh, crap.

Have you packed yet?

What is this "packing" you speak of?

At least made a list of what to bring???

That's pretty much done.
I keep a packing list on the 'puter.

 

[pkondz]

Yay almost Hawaii time!!!!

Oh, Alice!

(Followed by the obligatory: Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!
Sorry. It's a rule.)

Not a Full House fan... and if I see anything remotely
like that Rock the Hula video, I'm leaving the island.

 

[pkondz]

Hmmm, I hear it's a bit coo-lish in your area... Think warm thoughts!

c-c-c-can't.
b-b-brain f-f-f-frozen.

Have the best time! Take lots of pictures for us!!!!

Thanks! I'll see what I can do.

In case I don't get back here before you leave for Maui, just wanted to wish you a wonderful trip!

Blue skies and sunshine!

Thanks!

 

[pkondz]

Ponzi!

Laura! You're alive!
Nice to see you again!

I was looking for TGM's trip report and found this!

And I'm glad you did!
Missed having you around.

I'm glad you took one of your kids this time!

aka: justification.

I just booked a trip so in my usual fashion I show up on the disboards when I am excited about it.

This is a Laura axiom.

Looking forward to reading about your trip. I am only at your math story problem of a contest and I have to say I am glad I missed it.

Well, it was fun to see just what people thought.

I still have your prize from my latest unfinished trip report.

And I was so ticked that you didn't get your prize that I sent!
I can't replace that T-shirt!
Not impressed with the post office.

Lesson learned. Next package will be tracked.

The post office is a mile away yet I still have it in my drawer. One of these days...

Nice of you to think of me. But don't go to any trouble.

Can't wait to hear about what it was like to travel with Kay...and in August no less!

Happy reading!
(And don't be such a stranger!)

2.

Two.

2 is the first even number.
Any number that follows 2 is even
if it is divisible by 2.

It's the first and smallest prime number.
It's also the only even prime number.

2 is the atomic number for helium
which is awesome because it makes
party balloons float
and makes your voice squeaky when
you inhale it.

A safety in football is two points.
A basket in basketball is two points.
(Will you please stop bringing up the three point shot!!!)

Lowest number broadcast on TV in North America.
Chinese proverb, "Good things come in pairs"
Twelve days of Christmas you get two turtle doves...
Who wouldn't want a couple of turtle doves?
(I hear they're delicious! )

Ah... there's the word I was looking for.
The most important 2 association of all.

Couple.

Ruby's out right now, but when she gets home
I'm making her a nice brunch.
Eventually she'll find the chocolates.

And that's what makes the number 2
and this day so special.

But I would be remiss if I forgot my harem.
That just would not do.

So...

And Wishing ALL my readers a wonderful Valentine's Day.


I think that's it.
Tomorrow... 2 days to Maui.

The Backstory​

 

[franandaj]

What'cha makin' for brunch?

 

[pkondz]

What'cha makin' for brunch?

Eggs benedict will feature prominently.
Plus she treats my hash browns like they're crack,
so gotta do those too.

 

[orangecats2]

Happy Valentine's Day to you too! Where's my candy?
I love potatos!
DH is making bacon and egg sandwiches. Then he's leaving for his friends! What a guy!

 

[Steppesister]

Don't ask me why I'd sit in a snow bank for an hour...

Why would you sit in a snowbank for an hour?

It can be an adjective "I'll have one for the road."

That would be a noun. Objective case to be exact.

1 week til Maui.

Do you have any idea how much I hate you right now?






So for the 2 seconds I hated you, I thought about all the warm weather, sun, fun, surf, and other "stuff" you'll get to do in a week. Then I stopped hating you, and got all full of warm fuzzies for you and Ruby. Have a wonderful time and enjoy every stinking minute. (Oops, started hating again. K, I"m done.)

Have FUN!

Actually it's going by too fast!
I got crap to do and no time to do it!!

Story of my pathetic life right now.

 

[pkondz]

Happy Valentine's Day to you too! Where's my candy?

I set it down to wrap it up so I could send it to you.


The dog ate it.



Wow. Did she ever get sick.
The next time there's chocolate lying around...

yeah, she'll eat it again.

I love potatos!

This is the most random comment on the whole TR!

DH is making bacon and egg sandwiches.

Had to make egg Mcmuffins for the DDs since they don't like eggs benedict.
I have no idea what's wrong with them.

Then he's leaving for his friends! What a guy!

A true romantic!

 

[pkondz]

Why would you sit in a snowbank for an hour?

That would be a noun. Objective case to be exact.

Hmmm... how about "I'll have one ice cream sandwich for the road."

Do you have any idea how much I hate you right now?

Oh, pffft. Says the lady with freaking flowers in her yard.
We won't see anything bloom for at least another 3 months.

So for the 2 seconds I hated you, I thought about all the warm weather, sun, fun, surf, and other "stuff" you'll get to do in a week. Then I stopped hating you, and got all full of warm fuzzies for you and Ruby. Have a wonderful time and enjoy every stinking minute. (Oops, started hating again. K, I"m done.)

Have FUN!

Thanks, Liesa!

Story of my pathetic life right now.

I know. Not much longer now.

 

[franandaj]

Eggs benedict will feature prominently.

If it weren't so cold there, I'd say I'll be right over!

Plus she treats my hash browns like they're crack,
so gotta do those too.

So she cooks them up into a rock and smokes them?

 

[orangecats2]

That darn dog! And I sent her a leash!

This is the most random comment on the whole TR!

You said you were making potatos! Seriously potatos are my favorite food! I could live on them!

Had to make egg Mcmuffins for the DDs since they don't like eggs benedict.
I have no idea what's wrong with them.

I don't like eggs benedict either. Of course our eggs are the substitute because I'm allergic to yolks.

A true romantic!

Oh yeah, I even bought my own gift. A birthstone Alex and Ani bracelet.
