8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 13

[captaincrash]

Ah yes Mary, one of the more effective uses for the beloved Freak Flag! Though these days, my just breathing embarrasses the STs! So of course I do nothing better than playing with their heads. When I dropped Taryn off at her friend's house for the Senior Trip I hugged and kisses each one of the friends and told them each, no boys, drinking, stealing or drugs! Geez if the ground could've opened up Taryn would have jumped right in. I love these get-even moments

I must lead a sheltered life...

... because I don't have an appreciation for what the "FREAK FLAG" thin is all about. I googled it and came up with nothing which helps much. Is this some kind of infamous reference to a movie or something similar?

Off hand, since I'm really just guessing ... the FREAK FLAG sounds like an undesirable exhibition of some sort!​

Letting loose, being down with your cool self, especially in front of a group of strangers. Your inner freak, that wants to come out, but often is supressed, from social anxiety.


I didn't know either. I am not that down with my cool self.

My DS especially loves when I demonstrate my disco moves while singing "Shake Your Booty" at the top of my lungs!

So you'd be screamin'
"SHAKE YOUR BOOTY"
while dancin' like this?​

Hmmm....

Letting my "wild" inner self out might frighten some

I can see how a freak flag might be the lesser of 2 evils with me...​

We just arrived home a little bit ago from the 1st Annual Eagles Nest Awards. Hazel and I didn't know this was the first such awards that school will now be doing on an annual basis. There were around 60 students that were given this award and each student was selected by a teacher or staff member of the high school. I haven't had time to load the pics that I had taken this evening, but Angelina made us so proud and we got MANY compliments from several of Angelina's teachers. When Angelina came forward to receive her award and certificate I'm the one who had butterflies in my stomach and also had the buttoms popping off my shirt. After I get the pics loaded, most likely tomorrow, I will post a couple and also include what Angelina's English teacher had to say about her. All in all, it was a wonderful evening and yes, some tears were also shed.

Congrats to Angelina and your family!

What a wonderful honor!!!!!

.....

Here's part of the reason it's been a difficult month. My son took a hard fall and ended up in the ER. He's fine, just has the scrapes you see and a sore neck. He'll be in a neck brace for another week or so. I took a few pics with my phone because he wanted to see himself all strapped to the guerny

We'll be praying for a speedy recovery for your son!

M? Oh, M!! Look what I found on another thread...

On my last trip, I found out through another guest that you can get a character to come to your room and give you an hour back massage. It was a lot of fun. I chose Belle from beauty and the beast and my wife chose Goofy. It was a lot of fun, and the back rub was pretty good.

It cost $65 for the hour, plus tip. I highly recommend it.

Can you say, "Hello, Please send Prince Eric over for a back massage??""

(I'd post the URL to the thread, but I haven't figured out how to insert it. Is it just a regular copy paste from the IE bar at the top? somehow that doesn't seem right. Someone clue me in and I'll edit this post.)

OH! How many days out can we book this???

(please PM the answer - BACK OFF MARY, HE'S MINE!!!!!)

OK M, You can have Prince Eric if I can have Captain Jack or Will Turner - or better yet, both!

How much for both?

That's right Tom, just like that!!

Oh my goodness!!!! Thank goodness he is OK. That is what is most important. Also, congratulations to Angelina! The award sounds wonderful. Can't wait to read what her teacher said about her for the reason she got the award.

Needless to say, it's been a very long day, here is what Angelina's English teacher wrote in the program booklet.

"I have known Angelina through her experience with the morning announcements and in my English III class. She continually impresses me with her maturity and the value she places on education. Angelina is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in, and I'm sure she will be successful in all her pursuits."

And for those wanting help in becoming an evil genius, here are some tips:

• [*]When you've captured your adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought, shoot him then say "No."

<snip>

Corollary:
Also do not reveal the location of your Secret Base or Hidden Lair to the hero during torture or execution prep.

We as moms really do have the power, don't we.

I can see now that I need to go to the hospital to treat this epileptic seizure induced by that picture!!!

It's heartwarming to share in your beaming pleasure!

Being Proud Parents is such fun, EH?

Sorry for being so much trouble...

I meant no harm!

<chuckles>

[captaincrash]

Thank you! I'll miss you guys too!!!

Maybe on your return you'll catch this...

​

Thanks again, guys.....I'm stressing over the flights....so it's nice to be "here" and see my peeps.
Depending on how much the internet costs, I'll try to be on here when I can! Maybe post some pics, too.

See ya later!

Are any of the Chicago area DISers still considering a DIS Meet this summer? Obviously, we aren't available the next few weekends, but after we get back we should be around through the end of July (August gets a little busy again).
pdarrah

We are still talking about July... I called Cheryl and LVM for her today.. maybe we can set a date..

 

[captaincrash]

Anyone remember that old She-Mom cartoon? After reading this I immediately thought of the part when she pulls her sword out and yells "By the power of The Captn!!" and then after she changes into She-Mom "I have the POWER!"

NO, I have just had to go thru the list and weed out a few things. The goal is to have a secure site and eliminate any potential for the link getting out. With my new job I haven't had as much continuous time to double check things.

Although I don't have particular expertise in setting up major websites, I can hold my own and if you need help, don't hesitate to ask. The least I can do as a good DISboards Citizen is help out...

 

[captaincrash]

This one is special for Crash (and his famous clam sauce)...


Why do pirates have such bad breath?

Because they eat gARRRGHlic!

Thanks!

LET OUR FREAK FLAGS FLY!!


Found this definition just in case anyone was starting to think maybe I AM a freak, well I'm not, okay, well maybe I am, but I'm just a little freak



From the Urban Dictionary:

freak flag:

Letting loose, being down with your cool self, especially in front of a group of strangers. Your inner freak, that wants to come out, but often is supressed, from social anxiety.


This describes all of us, we all are "being down with our cool selves" (our Superty Cool Selves)

but consider this:

DISfreak: Any person who suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder focused on Disney related matters (e.g. Disney Parks, Disney Cruise Line, Disney films, etc.) and is considered by their teenage children to be embarrassing and uncool when in fact, the DISfreak is the ultimate cool parent, true to their word, often doting on undeserving children, and current on all popular trends. http://www.asiteimadeup.com/DISfreak/
