12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 13

[becka]

V . . . I am a pretty good trivia player (just ask Amy) but I am TERRIBLE at that WD Trivia! As much as I love everything Disney, that stuff is just waaaaay too intense. What many people consider trivia, I think of as general stuff because I read alot, but I can't remember stuff like the names of the three sisters in Cinderella and assorted things like that!

(I did know what an E ticket was though!)

We really like trivia as well! DH really wants to do the Disney trivia on the cruise. He thinks that with himself, me and Nathan we will have an unbeatable team!

All right, shall I bring it?

 

[becka]

Definately a silver lining. At this point I'd rather have strep than the flu or some other virus. Viruses drag on forever, with strep, once you're on the antibiotic you're almost as good as new in 2 days!

That is exactly what I was thinking. As miserable as strep is I actually felt better knowing that was the diagnosis!

Time to get the kiddies in bed, although Sarah is still doing homework. House is on again tonight!

 

[tynkerbell]

My camera is due to arrive tomorrow!!

Now you just have to figure out how to use it. DH still hasn't figured out all the settings on his - he better practice this weekend.

 

[Jhalkias]

My camera is due to arrive tomorrow!!








Can I call it a camera or does it have to go by a special name??

Just call it your "precious" . . .

(Everyone got that LOR reference?)

[lbgraves]

considering my father and her can't be on the same planet, I agree!!!

Also the fact that too many people on the ship know about here.

 

[brack]

Andy did originally post #59000. It has changed due to deletions that had to be made.

This is what I get for missing a whole 24 hours! I can't leave you guys alone without you getting into trouble.

We call our new Canon George!!!

K - did you get my PM yesterday? Diana

Go for it!!!!

 

[pyramid2000]

Don't take that for a legit answer...just a lazy CM. Call back!

I was thinking they have my phone number on file and this is the standard answer they were told to give.

 

[becka]

Go for it!!!!

I am sure we will. That is one of the must-dos for us this cruise is to attend at least one trivia session. We missed it on the 4 night just because we were so overwhelmed. I hope it won't be quite as bad this time especially with us having 7 nights!

 

[DSharpe]

OK . . . similarity #??? I forget. Anyway, Sophia loves the Ferris wheel and it takes all my grit to ride the darn thing with her - just ask Amy. I love airplanes - just afraid of open heights.

I have been toying with trying the parasail, but am still not sure.

Can't think of a better time than 9:30 on the first CC day!!!

 

[pyramid2000]

We call our new Canon George!!!

And why is that??

 

[tynkerbell]

I just had it done in September. It was not pretty, and my right eye is not as good as my left one. BUT, it is nice not wearing glasses anymore. My eyes rejected contacts two years ago, so I could not longer wear contacts. With my upcoming wedding in June, I didn't want to wear glasses. Hence, the lasik.

I tried contacts earlier this year and could not for the life of me get used to them. So I wear glasses, and I hate it but I can't get over the whole creepiness factor of a laser on my eyeball.

 

[becka]

And why is that??

Because Fred just didn't sound right...

It is just a little joke around here that everything that needs a special name is either Fred or George. I can't even remember why but this is something we started saying back when we were in college and dating. It just stuck! Although it has been interesting since my sister married a man named Fred....

 

[melissalv29]

um, ok, you and Charming's team fantasy!!!!


NO, crisis averted....my mom just found Fl rates and was going to book, I convinced her to wait until next year!!

 

[lillygator]

Also the fact that too many people on the ship know about here.

yes, you guys must remain quiet......

No really, my dad and GF saw the roster, knows the "drill" but as I posted before....and water under the bridge, I only met him the year johnny and I married - 6 on 12/2....he is clueless to my bad girl, wild child side.
My mom tried to squeeze the DIS out of me tonight...no go...










WHAT AMAZES ME:


I found the DIS on a disney search????

 

[becka]

OK I had to ask DH if he remembered why we use Fred and George. He reminded me that the George is from the old Bugs Bunny cartoon when Marvin The Martian steals Bugs to make him the new friend for the abominable snowman.

Spaced Out Bunny (1980) (TV)
Bugs Bunny is abducted by Marvin the Martian and brought to Mars to be the companion to his pet abominable snowman Hugo, who will "hug him and squeeze him and call him George."


The Fred thing we can't remember...it was just a generic name that went well with George.
