A Vacation From My Problems (A Sept. 2010 Trip Report) - COMPLETED 12/14

[glennbo123]

Good heavens, Glenn, when you're all done here, come spend a few of your spare moments using that Beverley in my toilet bowl. Looks like you have some extra time on your hands.

It's Friday, and it's been a tough week....perfect time for a little brainstorming session.


And another post deserves another slogan entry or two:

Beverly - Many great inventions were accidental discoveries....and so was this.

Beverly - When lab experiments and marketing deadlines collide.

Beverly - When lab experiments and marketing deadlines collide.

Best one yet!

I know you said all the movie quotes were gone....but "over-the-top" was a Sylvester Stallone classic

 

[afwdwfan]

I'm loving your TR! Way to keep everyone engaged!

Engaged??? We're all just here for the points!

Beverly: The reason for Italian wines.

 

[PennyLane1084]

Couldn't resist busting out the photoshop for this one.

Beverly - Like reading a glennbo trip report, only better! (j/k Glenn)

I actually thought of one, but since this is a family site, I decided to keep it as my own private joke.

Captain, agree on the great picture! Kudos to your DW! That one could be used in a legitimate ad campaign for Disney.

As for Mission Space, I always do the orange side. Haven't ever tried the green one. Now, let me shed light to my comment. Tea cups (which also spins very fast, especially if you are with my DSs) would ruin the rest of my day. I guess it is the same effect as looking out the window when riding down the road, and watching all the trees zip by. That can affect me at times also. Being on BP meds, and reading all the warnings, made me follow all their advice strictly about keeping your head against the rest, keeping your eyes on the screen in front of you, etc.

The rest of the family got off the first time we rode it, talking about the spinning and I didn't have a clue what they were talking about. Never noticed it, and like I said, I would have probably been in trouble if I had. By heeding the cautions, I get to enjoy a very fun ride experience, without all the guilt (or nausea)!

Come to Italy; the water is okay, but don't drink the Beverly!

Beverly - Get results faster than riding Mission Space Orange Team!

Beverly - The worst prank yet from the producers of Jacka@@!

 

[marvali]

Couldn't resist busting out the photoshop for this one.

Hey, no fair playing the Lucy card!

 

[afwdwfan]

Beverly: For kids who think vegetables taste bad.

 

[glennbo123]

Dangit Marv, you got me to laugh with this one:

Come to Italy; the water is okay, but don't drink the Beverly!

Beverly: Single-handedly bringing the productivity of America's offices to a grinding halt on this fine day.

You don't call this productive? Look at how many slogans we've cranked out.

 

[Rental01]

Beverly: Stay thirsty my friends.

Beverly - When lab experiments and marketing deadlines collide.

My judging criterion was that I'd stand behind anything that made me laugh so hard that Ramen noodles get stuck in my nose.

Both of these entries have my vote.

Very true and I am going BLANK!!! Is it bad when you are sitting in a meeting and instead of paying attention you are trying to think of a Beverly slogan?

 

[KatMark]

Beverly: Single-handedly bringing the productivity of America's offices to a grinding halt on this fine day.

This is my favorite one!

 

[marvali]

Dangit Marv, you got me to laugh with this one:

Yeah, I was kinda proud of that one when it popped in my head.


Maybe I'll PM you the one I hesitate to post......

Ok, if this one wins, this competition was rigged.

You don't call this productive? Look at how many slogans we've cranked out.

No kidding, I think we just replaced an entire marketing team.

Beverly: Keeping neighbors dogs from pooping in the yard since 1923!

 

[glennbo123]

Okay, I'm sitting down.

Your DD and my DD would have fun playing around in the water together. Actually, my DD would much rather just spend the whole week at the resort pool! How many times did you hear "Can we go back to the pool now?"

We all enjoy the vomit-colored experience for Mission:Space. The first time DD rode it she couldn't reach the buttons and was FREAKING OUT! She thought we were going to crash. So... being the good dad that I am... I reached over and pressed her buttons for her. I'm not entirely sure what would have happened to her if the buttons did not get pushed, but I'm thinking a meltdown would have occurred.

I'm loving your TR! Way to keep everyone engaged!

We didn't have any begging for the pool. But one of our kids (you get 3 guesses) kept wanting to go to the hotel.

And I'm not sure I'd say they're "engaged"... I've created 2 monsters with the games here. The TR gets lost in the shuffle!

It's kind of like a car dealership that gets people in the door by offering free pizza. Sooner or later all the pizza is gone, and the cars are still in the showroom!

Good heavens, Glenn, when you're all done here, come spend a few of your spare moments using that Beverley in my toilet bowl. Looks like you have some extra time on your hands.

He's not the only one!

I know you said all the movie quotes were gone....but "over-the-top" was a Sylvester Stallone classic

Well...we're using the word "classic" very loosely here, but knowledge of obscure Sylvester Stallone arm-wrestling movies deserves a point.

+1

Engaged??? We're all just here for the points!

You see, Don?! You see???

That's impressive! I have had friends who are thrill-ride junkies tell me they got sick on the orange side. They have barf bags on the ride, for pete's sake.

I'll pass on the compliments to my wife! Thanks!

Hey, I'm not complaining. This has been extremely entertaining!

My judging criterion was that I'd stand behind anything that made me laugh so hard that Ramen noodles get stuck in my nose.

Man, this is going to be incredibly hard to judge. We even have people jumping in with Photoshop now!

I must say, the creativity here is astounding. You guys are just plain hilarious.

Very true and I am going BLANK!!! Is it bad when you are sitting in a meeting and instead of paying attention you are trying to think of a Beverly slogan?

No, that's not bad! It's exactly what meetings are for, and a much better use of your time!

This is my favorite one!

Aw, thanks.

Ok, if this one wins, this competition was rigged.

No kidding, I think we just replaced an entire marketing team.

They have a marketing team? They must be like the sales group in Glengarry Glen Ross, where the boss won't give them the good leads until they sell the crap.

And I would never rig the competition in my favor. I prefer to accept bribes from the actual contestants.
