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

[All7OfUs]

Beverly: Like a shot to the groin... always hilarious when it happens to somebody else.

Hope this is one of your runners up!

 

[MaryAz]

Can't wait to see which one wins!

 

[middlepat]

Beverly: When it absolutely, positively has to be the worst drink on Earth.

 

[afwdwfan]

Sorry Barry, my emotions got the best of me.

 

[KatMark]

Mark, I don't know how I missed your update.

I'm with you...the Studios is our least favorite park. After the Muppets (which we love), TOT and now the Animation Studios, the park is kind of boring.

I love what your wife said to Scotty...I was just

I'm curious to see what happens with TOT?

 

[afwdwfan]

Well, after 4 innings in game 3... still no update. Do I need to keep refreshing just in case?

 

[glennbo123]

I just checked too.

 

[3timesmom]

= Monty Python and the Holy Grail

+1

Hey...I read that in someone elses TR...oh yeah mine...

yaaaaaay. - Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Also)

We'll just say you "inspired" me. Plus, it's a versatile quote. Anyway, you're correct, the second part is also from Monty Python.

+1

Caddyshack

Caddyshack - but I think it's been used already

Yes. Unfortunately, we used that one up.

Christmas Vacation

+1

Christmas Vacation


Edit: I hate you Barry.

Don't feel bad, afwdwfan. I gave you a point for shamelessly plugging me on the Dads thread.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

I hear you there. I guess I'm a Bucks fan by default. Not like it matters - there won't be any basketball next year anyway.

I'm not sure I would notice. A quick check of the standings reveals my Sixers have started the season 0-3. In other news, the sun rose in the east this morning.

Do you do that to? I mean, wear a sleeveless t-shirt around the house, and every time your wife looks at you (or in your general direction) you flex and say "Welcome to the Gun Show!" No? Oh, yeah. Me neither.

I just tried that this weekend. My DW burst into continuous laughter, literally rolling on the floor for at least 10 minutes. Then she made me promise to never, ever do that again.

Hope this is one of your runners up!

Can't wait to see which one wins!

Me neither. This is hard trying to compile them all so I can compare them.

I'm curious to see what happens with TOT?

Well, I may have slightly exaggerated my wife's actual words to Scotty. But it's safe to assume his act was wearing thin.

I've probably built up ToT too much. Oh well. That's what I do.

Well, after 4 innings in game 3... still no update. Do I need to keep refreshing just in case?

I just checked too.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I stuck with game 3, because the Rangers finally started making it interesting (until game 4, anyway). Plus, the Flyers game and the Penn St./Michigan games were on, as well as the old Vincent Price version of The Fly. Any chance you get to annoy your wife by constantly changing channels, you have to take it.

OBA!!! (it stands for Yeah!! - maybe I can teach you some portuguese... !!!), you just made my day,thanks (obrigado)!!! By the way, nice pics!!!

Obrigado!

See? I'm learning Portuguese already. And I'd love to learn any other phrases you're willing to teach me. Useful phrases for this Trip Report might include:

• "Plus one point"
• "I did not mean to offend all Canadians"
• "I think Glenn really is stalking me"
• "Same to you, Barry"

What an awesome trip report! Thank you for the giggles!

Thanks for reading along!

Star Wars

 

[middlepat]

• "I did not mean to offend all Canadians"

So by this are you suggesting that there are only a select few of us that you are trying to offend?

 

[middlepat]

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Star Wars

I think more correctly it is "Star Wars - Episode IV A New Hope"

 

[FreezinRafiki]

I just tried that this weekend. My DW burst into continuous laughter, literally rolling on the floor for at least 10 minutes. Then she made me promise to never, ever do that again.

Are you sure you did it right? Don't give up! With practice, eventually, she won't laugh as a response and just roll her eyes in disgust. That's really all you can hope for, though.

• "Plus one point"
• "I did not mean to offend all Canadians"
• "I think Glenn really is stalking me"
• "Same to you, Barry"

Wow! My very own Portuguese mockery! I can't wait!

 

[FreezinRafiki]

I think more correctly it is "Star Wars - Episode IV A New Hope"

I was using George Lucas' original 1977 theatrical-release title.
I prefer to let George Lucas disappoint me in the order he intended.

+1 for Barry. I thought his explanation was sufficient. And it made me laugh.

So by this are you suggesting that there are only a select few of us that you are trying to offend?

Absolutely. I really only want to offend you, Daddy-O and Tutter, not the entire country.

*BLARES HORN*

No, I'm not sure I did it right at all. You know those Looney Tunes boxing episodes where Bugs flexes and his arm just kind of hangs loose in a U-shape? It was kind of like that.

Let's hope 3timesmom comes through with some colorful insults!

Public Service Announcement: I should point out that there was a reference (not a direct quote) to a very, very recent movie in the last chapter that nobody has found yet. It just came out this year so it's possible not everyone has seen it yet.

I know that time speeds up when you're in a dream, and apparently it does when you're on vacation as well.

Never seen it but worth a guess... Inception?

I can fly.

Just happened to see this, I'm sure it isn't a quote, but that screams Peter Pan.

Ding Ding Ding! You are correct! Very cool movie, by the way.

That was Iron Man. Wherem I Now got that one earlier.
