Canadian Buffoon's Disney With a Teen Vacation - 08/13 - The Wrap

[pkondz]

I grew up in Hemet, CA. At the time it was like paradise; now it has been transformed into a sewer.

You grew up in a sewer. Check.

I went to college at University of Irvine for a couple of terms, and loved studying on the beach.

Studying on the beach... sounds pretty nice.
I could never study on a beach. Too many distractions.
One of them would've been you.

But more than that I was a CM at DLR for about a year during that time and adored my job. I was a hostess in the Blue Bayou restaurant. I still have my name badge- a special trinket from long ago.

I did not know that!!!

I seriously will gladly take snow all winter.

What the hell is wrong with you?!?

I just don't like ice, that stuff's evil. I'll take the snow, but I could do without freezing rain and the bitter cold temps. A nice coating of snow on the ground and a sunny day in the mid to upper 20's without any wind is about perfect.

Well.... okay. Yeah, but...

You know for winter. I wouldn't want it all year. I do like not having to wear a coat every time I step outside in the spring, summer and fall.

... and there it is.

But then again, I've got 4 wheel drives, equipment capable of clearing snow and a huge hill on the edge of my property. So we know how to do snow right.

You just had to say "hill".

 

[pkondz]

You’re making an assumption here…

You know what they say.
"Never assume because it makes an a** out of you."

I always stop at that point.

But then again, all those records were sealed as part of the identity change.
So who’s to judge the actual validity if your assertion.

You'll never hear it from me.

Hummm…
I don’t see the problem, there.
Sounds like a thoughtful well-reasoned assessment of the situation.

Yeah. Because all my stuff is "well-reasoned".
Yeah.

Oh, wait!
Sould have replied in Greek, shouldn’t I?
Here…

(more animated in the performance)

I need to get a better class of friends.

Are you aware of our national historical track record in terms of dealing with the rightful inhabitants of lands deem as “desirable”.

Only when I'm eating Custer.... custard.
Just be careful what you wish for.
The last time you ticked us off, we burned down your White House.

It’s good to have goals in life.

Gooooooaaaaaallllll!!!!!!

If I’d have missed it, you’d have had every right to banish me form the TR.

You'd be surprised at what gets missed.

Or maybe you wouldn't.


Then again, my readers tend to be very intelligent.
Well... except for you know who.

Good.
So, why’s the rum always gone?

Simple, really.
@SnowWhiteOz and @BibbitybobityLu drank it all.

The true strength of Loony-Tunes…
They were always written firstly for adults.

The kids just got to laugh at the slapstick.

Was just saying that to Kay how all original animated film was directed towards a mature audience.

You’re the benevolent dictator here…
Dictate.

Need to find a secretary first.
And she needs to be very skilled.
I don't care if she can take dictation well, or not.

(There’s plenty of president for tyrants to ignore their own rules once they become “inconvenient”).

Do you have any idea how long I looked at that before I figured out you meant "precedent".

 

[pkondz]

Interesting. I loved it as a kid and as an adult. I guess there's something about falling anvils that just gets me.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

You know what they say.
"Never assume because it makes an a** out of you."

I always stop at that point.

You were the one making the assumption, so that's a good place to stop.

Yeah. Because all my stuff is "well-reasoned".
Yeah.

Well the quote was.
The one doin' the quoiting...

Well...

I need to get a better class of friends.

Yeah but, folks breathing that type of rarefied air wouldn't bother responding to drivel.
You're TRs would be very quiet places indeed.


And we can't have that, now can we?

Just be careful what you wish for.
The last time you ticked us off, we burned down your White House.

Depending on who's in it, I might offer to help in the endeavor.

but actually I think it was the UK that was ticked at the time.
(along with large numbers of some of those rightful land owners we were discussing)
And it didn't didn't change anything.

Then again, my readers tend to be very intelligent.
Well... except for you know who.

Goes without saying...


(and you were wishing for a better class of reader... silly you)

Simple, really.
@SnowWhiteOz and @BibbitybobityLu drank it all.

Ahhhh...
This explains much.

Do you have any idea how long I looked at that before I figured out you meant "precedent".

Blasted auto correct...

 

[Self_resqing_princz]

So, I got through like the first 5 chapters last night.
First:

I'm constantly disappointed with airport baggage carousels.1. No horses going up and down. So, fail, right there.
2. Even without horses, it still might be fun...
but they put signs up telling you to stay off.

What kind of crummy carousel is that???

OMG! that WAS SO FUNNY!

THEN- I had just put the baby down to bed... and saw the gymnast spaz out and laughed so hard I woke the baby up. OMG that was too much!

Then the part about the Dismeet in AK... I've NEVER done a dismeet but the next time I go to WDW I totally want to do one!

 

[irene_dsc]

Wow you posted some really, really clever comments!

Well, thank you!

Well... except for that one that was really rude.
And really... how could you? I'm quite upset.

Sorry about that one. I don't know what came over me. It's almost like someone else's words came out of my mouth...I mean, typing...

 

[jandlinz]

Ugh. I love shovelling snow. Really. Honest. Yep. Sure.... Kill me now.

Actually, this year hasn't been bad for snow.
Oh, we have some. But only a few feet.

We really haven't gotten much either. I shouldn't complain. It was just hard to go out and shovel because my DH was out of town a couple of days. I have to wait for my littlest one to sleep. So I only get an hour at most, plus I have the four other "helpers" who want to join me so getting on snow pants, boots, gloves, and hats x4 cuts down my time even more. It makes clearing the snow a race.

She says "annoying".
Well, she used different words,
but I can't use them on the DIS.

On the other hand, we also believe in them fending for themselves.
So we told Elle she could come if she paid for her airfare.
(We paid for everything else.)

Once we hit high school and had a job my parents did the same. We paid for everything, but food. We actually paid for a lot of things growing up.

JK.
When I started on the internets, that's what I got.
It just stuck.

Huh? I guess I was expecting some James Bond code or something.

 

[jandlinz]

WHAT???? You have snow?!?!?!!

No fair!

We've only had enough to go sledding once!



Yes, I'm like a 10 year old little boy who gets excited about snow. Because I get to go sledding and play with my tractor and loader moving snow piles.

And this mild winter is ticking me off!

Wait! Are you jealous of snow? Ugh!!! You do sound like my kids. You are welcome to come clear the snow over here. (I started wording that differently, but had to change up my words because some of the "boys" on the DIS may take it the wrong way. I can already picture the gifs it would have gotten. Phew! So glad I diverted that.)

 

[pkondz]

You were the one making the assumption, so that's a good place to stop.

You wouldn't believe how many people complete the line.
Sometimes I just stare at them. Sometimes I'll say something like"
"I already said "you"."

Well the quote was.
The one doin' the quoiting...

Well...

Good point.

Wait...

Yeah but, folks breathing that type of rarefied air wouldn't bother responding to drivel.
You're TRs would be very quiet places indeed.


And we can't have that, now can we?

So. Just to be clear.
You're saying you think all the readers on this TR are low class?

Depending on who's in it, I might offer to help in the endeavor.

but actually I think it was the UK that was ticked at the time.
(along with large numbers of some of those rightful land owners we were discussing)
And it didn't didn't change anything.

True. True and.... True.

Ahhhh...
This explains much.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

You wouldn't believe how many people complete the line.
Sometimes I just stare at them. Sometimes I'll say something like"
"I already said "you"."

Good thing I didn't stray into that snare.
But I know me...

I'll trip over myself soon enough and fall face first right onto the next land mine.
Should be quite entertaining.

So. Just to be clear.
You're saying you think all the readers on this TR are low class?

Well, consider that they allowed me entrance into this clubhouse.
More importantly, they allowed you in as well.

 

[SnowWhiteOz]

Simple, really.
@SnowWhiteOz and @BibbitybobityLu drank it all.

 

[franandaj]

Hmmm.... This is the story.
I write something with 100% sarcasm and it comes off as sincere.
Then I see a picture attached to a video file.

I wisely wait until I'm at work to view it.



Because I can't view videos at work.

I'm crushed that you didn't watch my video!

Hmm... This will only impress me depending on your answer.
"How many shoes do you own?"

Well, let me show you...These are my "everyday" shoes that I normally choose from on a regular basis. They are next to my side of the bed.



These are my "back up" shoes that I only wear to match specific outfits or climates. Oh yeah, my Tennis Shoes are not pictured since they're in my gym bag.

Arrrrgh they warm enough?

No they were not warm enough. We met some DIS friends for lunch while up there and as we were saying goodbye outside the restaurant I could feel the cold pavement through the soles of the boots.

The fact that the temperature is supposed to be as warm as 33
by the weekend is front page news here.

Funny you should mention that...

This does not bode well for your luggage.

Huh. Don't think we have those up here.
Are they prescription? For Fran?

Yes they are prescription. Mostly the script is written for Fran, but there has been an occasion where I have had to take them as well. With her immune system it doesn't hurt to have them on hand.

Really??? I do that all the time! Plus calculate sine and cosine and logarithms.

Oh. Wait... I don't do any of those things.
Nevermind.

See! I'm not saying math is useless, but not everyone needs higher math.

Believe it or not, you're more varied than I am.

That's funny. I feel like I am dressed in the same "uniform" practically all year. Tank top, capris and sandals. Every. day. (well except today a storm is brewing off the coast and we might actually see rain this weekend!)

 

[orangecats2]

Just wanted to chime in real quick that I'm not mad or anything. I'm sick. There's no way I'll be able to read all the comments. Yesterday I think I was only awake for about five hours total. I had to cancel lunch plans for tomorrow.
Did I catch this from Ponzi?

 

[MHSweb79]

Not to be all neener-neener-neenery but just 4 short weeks after my last trip, I am headed back down to the World on Sunday, if anyone needs anything.

Oh, alright.

Neener-neener-neener!

 

[pkondz]

So, I got through like the first 5 chapters last night.

Are you okay? Probably a little nauseous now. Sorry about that.

OMG! that WAS SO FUNNY!

Glad you liked it!
But really.... you can't even ride it????
Pass.

THEN- I had just put the baby down to bed... and saw the gymnast spaz out and laughed so hard I woke the baby up. OMG that was too much!

When I saw that gif, I knew it was going in the TR.

Then the part about the Dismeet in AK... I've NEVER done a dismeet but the next time I go to WDW I totally want to do one!

I've done.... 4 DISmeets so far.
And only one of them was really bad.



(That should get 'em talking.)

 

[pkondz]

Well, thank you!

You're welcome! I just calls 'em as I sees 'em!

Sorry about that one. I don't know what came over me. It's almost like someone else's words came out of my mouth...I mean, typing...

I was quite shocked that you would type that. Shocked!

 

[pkondz]

We really haven't gotten much either. I shouldn't complain. It was just hard to go out and shovel because my DH was out of town a couple of days.

I was very pleasantly surprised to come home from work yesterday
to see DW just finishing up the shoveling.
There wasn't much, but it sure was appreciated.

I have to wait for my littlest one to sleep. So I only get an hour at most, plus I have the four other "helpers" who want to join me so getting on snow pants, boots, gloves, and hats x4 cuts down my time even more. It makes clearing the snow a race.

Those can be tough words to hear "Can I help?"
<sigh> "Sure!"

She's a potty mouth.
Learned it from her Mother.

Once we hit high school and had a job my parents did the same. We paid for everything, but food. We actually paid for a lot of things growing up.

Kay is just starting.
"Dad, I need more of this eyeliner."
"Sure. Do you have the cash or do you want me to take it out of your bank account?"
"Nevermind."

Funny how the don't need as much stuff now that they have to pay for it.

Huh? I guess I was expecting some James Bond code or something.

It is. But if I told you, I'd have to kill you.

You are welcome to come clear the snow over here.

Here too, Andy!

(I started wording that differently, but had to change up my words because some of the "boys" on the DIS may take it the wrong way. I can already picture the gifs it would have gotten. Phew! So glad I diverted that.)

At first I was
But then the nickel dropped. Oh!

Should've left it.
It would've been entertaining.

 

[pkondz]

Good thing I didn't stray into that snare.
But I know me...

I'll trip over myself soon enough and fall face first right onto the next land mine.
Should be quite entertaining.

To both statements.

Well, consider that they allowed me entrance into this clubhouse.
More importantly, they allowed you in as well.

My God. You make a very valid case...

I'm crushed that you didn't watch my video!

There are some things which I refuse to be subjected to!

Well, let me show you...These are my "everyday" shoes that I normally choose from on a regular basis. They are next to my side of the bed.

I count at least 5 close toed shoes.

These are my "back up" shoes that I only wear to match specific outfits or climates.

Do you have back ups for your back ups?

Oh yeah, my Tennis Shoes are not pictured since they're in my gym bag.

Check.

No they were not warm enough. We met some DIS friends for lunch while up there and as we were saying goodbye outside the restaurant I could feel the cold pavement through the soles of the boots.

Should've gotten the mukluks.

This does not bode well for your luggage.

You'll see.

Yes they are prescription.

Ah.

Mostly the script is written for Fran, but there has been an occasion where I have had to take them as well. With her immune system it doesn't hurt to have them on hand.

That makes sense. If you can prevent yourself from getting sick,
then she won't catch it from you.

See! I'm not saying math is useless, but not everyone needs higher math.

I was just talking to a co-worker about that.
e was at a restaurant where the bill was something like $17.39.
So he makes the tip $2.61 to make it an even $20.
The waitress says in astonishment "How did you do that?"

That's funny. I feel like I am dressed in the same "uniform" practically all year. Tank top, capris and sandals. Every. day. (well except today a storm is brewing off the coast and we might actually see rain this weekend!)

My uniform year round is this.
Jeans and a T-shirt.
Shorts in summer... sometimes....
That's it.
