An Inconvenient Truth: happyhaunt Style! (New... pg. 113!)

[sheridac]

Me: Because I'm a lily-livered, bleeding heart, liberal, egghead communist.
Mellyman: And I'm a gun-toting, redneck son-of-a-somethin'. Or other.

You got skills, I don't deny that. You can shoot and you're athletic.

 

[tink38]

I'm 1st!

Do I get a prize?

No? How bout I just show you yourself? You like that, right?

 

[NAB]

The work stuborn comes to mind when reading this. My Dh says I am that and so is our son. I always say why is he doing that , Dh will say he is like you that way. We butt heads all the time.

 

[horsegirl]

I wish I could get a CM on the peeing off the balcony thing. Too.

Ick, again....blinders, please?

We headed up to do the Carousel. The GOLDEN Carousel.

We had to wait. Longer than most. To get on. We had to make sure Beth was gonna get the right horse. The one with the golden ribbon on it's tail.

It's true. That there is ONLY ONE. It's not an urban legend.

Yes. It is mine.

Not like the frog in the pre-sealed bag of salad greens. That one is false. And, yet, I still look for a frog everytime I buy a bag.

I have seen said frog and it is clearly NOT an urban legend either.

There is actually ONE horse with the ribbon.

Yes. Yes. Yes. You already said this... C'est moi!

Beth got it. And we could all breath easier.

me too as she is a wisp of a rider.

There it is. The ribbon. I'm not spinning a tale. Or... pulling your tail. Either.

I enjoyed my ride. On a lesser pony.

Chapter 11 got it right.

As did both Calvin and Tommy. Mellyman opted to sit this ride out. He doesn't think it's very manly. To perch himself up on a fancy little horsie and go up and down and around and around. He's wrong about that.

He needs to read the history books all the way back to Ancient Rome. Men actually look quite dandy upon a mount, look at yankee doodle and Georgie Porgie (W, not Walker).

Perhaps Camilla could do it. She looks like she has enough upper body strength. When she's not occupied giving rides on the carousel. That is.

No offense to any horses out there.

NOT, as you did my ride proud, this chapter here, which resulted in hilarious pix of salad frogs and morphed camilla horses....

and so I leave you with this.....

I'm actually a ghostie too. Thanks, my lesser hauntie! As usual, I loved this. And I feel as proud as well, a stalk of celery.

 

[horsegirl]

And... one time... I actually DESERVED it. Believe it or not.

What happened was this: I set all the animals free. From their cages. My friend's father was a Magician. By trade. And they had a cool house with secret doors and passageways and all that. It was fun. He kept all his animals... bunnies, pigeons, snakes, mice, etc... for his act. In this shed. In their yard. And one day... I opened the cages. And let them. GO.

I didn't like the cages. I was young. And it seemed logical to free them.

Boy... was I WRONG.

What a commotion. Most of them were recovered.

And I was soundly, SOUNDLY spanked. Twice.

Once by his Mom. And once, again, by The General.

Whew.

I learned MY LESSON. I think.


heh heh

I am going to be narcissitic again, and think you wrote this with me in mind. I know you did not know that I have done the same thing, but I have, more than once, as I do not take kindly to being told what to do....I know you know something about that! Of course others will think you wrote this about them and that indeed is your gift, my hauntie. You make each of us feel like you know us, and weave us into your fantabulous, witty tales and postings, so many of us! and ...such a knack you have, dear woman!


I loved so many parts of this chapter and second to the carousel, this may be my favorite chapter of all your happyhaunt tales...Thanks

 

[LaLa]

Real life isn't like this. Real life doesn't coddle you. Real life has ups and downs and scrapes and scratches. Real life is full of scabs. (Yikes!) Pick them off. And get on with it.

Very well sad, Mel. I totally agree with ya on that one. Except for the picking of the scabs part. Cause that'll just leave a scar. Plus it's gross.

And then we had to wait inside. Holding our 3-D glasses. And imagining what sweaty person wore them just before. Me(l).

Probably just I was wondering that.

Now you won't be the only one wondering that. Thanks. LY/MI.

Mel, with this installment, you have definitely established that you are a full on Manly Girl. Or maybe you're Dog the Bounty Hunter. With five teen sequined bikinis and a closet full of killer shoes. Scary.

Wait. Listen really closely.

Do you hear that? That's AC/DC. And they're playin' your song.

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Great report again Mel! Now you have given me another reason to go back to the Magic Kingdom. I want to see that horse with the ribbon on it's tail.

Oh that and the fact that we just got back from our last trip and we didn't get to ride Maelstrom because my Dad lost his temper. But that's a whole other trip report.

Note to ZZub: Are you sure you are a BAMA fan? ZZUB is Buzz spelled backwards and I believe Georgia Tech has a certain mascot who goes by that name.

 

[ZZUB]

Me: We agree on nothing, Mel.
Mellyman: Yes, Mel.
Me: Education, guns, drugs, school prayer, defense-spending, taxes - you name it. We disagree.
Mellyman: You know why?
Me: Because I'm a lily-livered, bleeding heart, liberal, egghead communist.
Mellyman: And I'm a gun-toting, redneck son-of-a-somethin'. Or other.
Me: Yes. You are.
Mellyman: We agree about that.
Me: I should punch you in the face.

This all sounds so familiar. Like I saw it on some well-written, well acted, critically acclaimed but barely watched liberal fantasy camp.

Or I'm having another one of my episodes.

I'm concerned that wearing 3-D glasses makes you think you're using someone else's toothbrush. You do understand that the glasses go on your face. Not in it. Right?

Now I'm in the mood for deviled eggs.

Who am I kidding?

I'm always in the mood for deviled eggs.

But... the theme of this Egg Hunt is "learning is delightful and delicious!".

So you passed.

And, yet, I'll kill you with my shoe.

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

It took us quite awhile to convince Beth to ride. We don't MAKE them do rides they don't want to do. Because... what is the fun in that? Really. But we convinced her. CONVINCED her. To try it. Just once. She could close her eyes if she needed to. And we were all right there. For her. And... we did it. Finally. She held my hand tightly. But made it through. In one piece.

Borg on this one for the DD's

Mine who is about the same age, won't go near the ride.

Haunted Mansion either.

But she did this time.

Because I convinced her to!!

Great chapter, thanks for sharing

 

[UtahMama]

I am not the least bit manly or boyly so I love this chapter,

but I can relate to not having anything at all in common with one's DH...

except Disney.

I had to ride the lesser pony BEHIND the golden ribbon one thanks to a

family of eavesdroppers who STOLE my ride!

Whatever. Karma.

Yes, the Left Wing.

 

[Cass]

Hey Mel, is there like a Coles Notes version of your TR? I made it to the Chretien Inuit carving but i have bleary eyes now.

 

[mikayla73]

Mel you crack me up! I also agree with you about real life .. sometimes it kicks you in the teeth, other times it is a whilwind of good times. Better to be prepared

Well i'm onboard this riverboat but still only on page 2. I need to take an hour or so just to catch up with the rest of the tr. Think that's how I'll spend my morning tomorrow - some good reading. Shag off the Suzy duties for yet another day thanks to the disboards. Shhh...don't tell hubby on me.
