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

[Mrs. Knowitall]

I can't figure out how to do the yellow quotey thing.....so here's my response...

"I see my evil plan to bait you into commenting has finally worked! Soon I will control the entire TRI-STATE AREA!!!"

--Phineas and Ferb



"And where did you get your icon picture from?"

It was an option on the page....I tried to get a green alien guy picture up and I couldn't....



"Um...about that screen name..."

What can I say, you're rubbing off on me after all those years.



"Really? Where do you get your points? Costco? I get mine in bulk at Sam's Club."

You know me...I'm a bargain hunter....I get mine off craigslist and eBay.

Obviously, Captain_Oblivious would be married to Mrs. Knowitall.....otherwise, how would anything get done. So finally, after much teasing, mild insults and even sweet talk, I have joined the party that is Captain_Oblivious' Trip Report of Awesomeness. I have no idea what I'm doing....in fact you could say I'm going in circles like these guys...

What I WILL do is this.....anyone who has given me a compliment on a photograph:

+5 (that's per compliment)

To the other girls who liked the Green Alien Guys:

+10

To the wonderfully patient woman from Brazil who translated things for my husband:

+25

And to the Captain:
-100 for teasing me about joining. So there. Oh, and by the way, hi honey! Are you happy I'm here?

So as you can see, my points are worth WAY more!

What a wonderful, creative and enjoyable icon PICTURE you have there! Only a beautiful, witty, brilliant, kind, generous, patient, VERY long-suffering, humorous Princess could ever come up with such an appropriate indicator of her charm and grace!!!

Hey, I like to take a good idea and improve on it!!! Added a little flair and panache!!!

When "deep fried" and "beer-battered" are in play, money shall be no object.

This has MAN LAW written all over it.

Has EVERYONE missed this? BAH!

SECONDED!

 

[All7OfUs]

You bring up a good point. It's a law of nature (and Man Law) that bacon and cheese (or fake cheese sauce) make everything better.

Sooo, you keep your larder well stocked??

BTW! Welcome Mrs.Knowitall!!! I just love how this is going already!! No, Really!! I do.

 

[glennbo123]

Welcome Mrs. Knowitall! We are so happy you're here. You're even more charming in print than I imagined you'd be, from your lovely pictures.

thats odd, you have the same name as my wife.

Wrong thread

It could definitely pass with some copy & paste effort though.

Hmmmmm... seems to be a common name.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Welcome! Great to have you here. It looks like the Captain's point system is about to go from oblivious to obsolete.

Story of my life.

That's alright... your wife is more generous with her points anyway.

It appears that way. I'm not keeping track of hers, though. Too much work.

Hopefully my little tutorial helped out. Oh, and

+1

Can't believe trennr didn't jump on that one right away.

Copy Lion-cat.

We'll have to see if all this shameless pandering works. When I try it, she sees right through it.

Hey, I like to take a good idea and improve on it!!! Added a little flair and panache!!!

Panache? Yeah, it means flamboyance.

Sooo, you keep your larder well stocked??

BTW! Welcome Mrs.Knowitall!!! I just love how this is going already!! No, Really!! I do.

Mmmm...lard...

People seem to enjoy our fake Facebook fights. Now we can bicker here, too!

Welcome Mrs. Knowitall! We are so happy you're here. You're even more charming in print than I imagined you'd be, from your lovely pictures.

What is that smell in here?

I'll have to move it over to that thread. It's worthy of man-law status.

... seems to be a common name.

 

[glennbo123]

What is that smell in here?

Eddie Haskell's cologne.

 

[marvali]

Panache? Yeah, it means flamboyance.

Oh, flamBOYance.......I thought you said flatulence!!! Guess it must have been some other smell you detected in here......

 

[glennbo123]

Panache? Yeah, it means flamboyance.

[that's nice]

Some people say wisdom comes with age. I just make stuff up as I go along.

Did I comment on this already?

I forget... maybe my wisdom with age has a touch of alzheimers with it..


Anyways.. I liked this comment. It reminds me of my dad.

I can't wait to see how the rest of this turns out!

This is getting good!

Awesome... I can only imagine what would happen if Mel actually joined...

Welcome Mrs. Knowitall! We are so happy you're here. You're even more charming in print than I imagined you'd be, from your lovely pictures.

WOW! Nice!

thats odd, you have the same name as my wife.

This is the funniest thing you have ever posted!!!!!

Hmmmmm... seems to be a common name.

I agree! LOLOL

First of all Welcome Mrs. Knowitall!

Hopefully you can explain to Mr. Oblivious that the center of the sports world does not revolve around Philly. (we all know its Chicago).

As for the rest of the TR... I think I'll just sit back, relax and enjoy the flight. Thanks for flying United.

 

[MissLiz]

Welcome MrsKnowitall!!!

As if this thread wasn't entertaining enough, now we've got more!!! yay!!

 

[FreezinRafiki]

I can't wait to see how the rest of this turns out!

If past occurrences are a good predictor of future events - a wife joining the Disboards specifically to comment on her husband's TR never works out well for said husband.

I've heard.



Good luck, Mark.

Give this a look-see.

Aw, Marv...you had a quote staring you right in the face here.

And nice job on the follow-up.

Mrs. Knowitall!!!!

Julie certainly gives as good as she gets. It's fun! Most of the time.

This is the funniest thing you have ever posted!!!!!

I agree!

I'm afraid she's going to side with me on the sports issue. Sorry, dude. She is a football (and Eagles) fan, which makes her exceedingly cool in my book.

Welcome MrsKnowitall!!!

As if this thread wasn't entertaining enough, now we've got more!!! yay!!

I should have named this TR "Mr. Oblivious' Wild Ride".

If past occurrences are a good predictor of future events - a wife joining the Disboards specifically to comment on her husband's TR never works out well for said husband.

I've heard.


Good luck, Mark.

Oh, come on. When has that ever happened before?

Anyway, I'm not dead yet.

Still wondering about that "Knowitall" tag...

Yeah, but that seemed like work. No WAY I'm doing that this close to my trip.
