In my case it's actually "Hair yesterday, non today"
I maintain a “Mutual Follicle Nonaggression Pact” with mine. According to the points laid out in the MFNP, I resolve to an outright ban on dyes, treatments and all use of “product”, limit cuttings to 6ish week intervals, and refrain from blow drawing or other noted follicle rights abuses. The treaty farther stipulates that the follicles are entitled to turn as gray as they please and become wavy, unkempt and disheveled with no threat of retaliation (think of the picture of Einstein), so long – and this is key – so long as they continue to maintain proper anchorage and troop levels.
It’s a tense standoff, but in the spirit of Détente all parties have thus far abided the treaty.
A public service is what I offal.
Public Haggis?
Ohhhhh
Very kind of you then, I am "umble".
Hey, I like turkey on the holidays.
Of course, it's because I brine it first... so it's edible... and only once... maybe twice... a year.
It’s good in casseroles or as a smoked lunchmeat. But the birds have been overbred for quick growth and ample breast meat to the exclusion of all taste and texture. Brining does help but it’s rare that anyone can do it much justice. When forced, I try to stick to the dark meat, but it’s actually the “Enforced Tradition” that makes me nutty. Just because it’s a holiday does not mean that you have no possible choice other than to eat this one particular thing to the exclusion of all other options.
A pox on all the Victorians and their ridged rules of decorum!
Only problem is, what I would've had for later would've been a puddle of melted chocolate.
Then again, it's a rental... let them deal with getting the stains out.
I hear (and recently read) of far worse intrusions upon the sanctity of rental auto upholstery.
I don't mind the meringue ...
(or the merengue either... see My Blue Heaven, Rick Moranis, Steve Martin)
but I consider it something to get through on the way to the good stuff.
I try never to dance (It’s just better for all concerned).
As for that other stuff… My issue is I don’t much like the flavor of egg-whites. When you remove the yokes you render them nearly inedible (to me at least), and for some reason even when dowsed by large amounts of sugar, I tend to notice them.
<<shudder>>
I didn't want to embarrass you by saying that I saw your... uh... um.... last part of "embarrass"
Embarr-*** me?
Dude, you’re the one that’s lookin’ in.
I should think that you’d be in need of an immediate optometric evaluation to assess any potential damage.
I don't know if I'd do that or not.
Part of me would really like to have it.
But up here you can only drive them for a few months out of the year.
Might keep it for a year and then sell it.
To be sure, it would be highly entertaining. There are many, many high-end vehicles that I’d love to have parked in my garage (that I need to build), and in a perfect world… well…
But I like the one year thought.
Then again - a used MX5 would also be fun to tool-around in (at a fraction) and I’d likely have enough left after that to replace most of my “fleet” with “newer” used variants.
Boring? Yes… just being practical.
Hmmm... I wouldn't know since I've never been.
Open wheel racing has the pit area, which is located adjacent to the track and used during on-track activities.
Re-fueling, tire change, minor repairs and adjustments.
The paddock area is where the motorhomes and semis are.
Some semis are strictly for transport,
but some semis are rolling garages where they can pretty much build the car from scratch.
Generally for drag race events, the pit area is just like the paddocks except that all maintenance is done there and it’s also usually open to all attendees. Watching the crews completely dismantle and rebuild the engines and most of the vehicle between each race is – to me – more fun than the actual rounds (especially as in person, you only really have a decent view of the start of each heat).
Yeah, probably. But Andy would've missed it.
A salvo at my nemeses…
And I didn’t even have to lob that grenade over the fence.
Blasted autocorrect…
And how many of us were convinced... convinced! that driving race cars was our calling.
I doubt there's a boy alive who hasn't thought that while idling at a red light.
Not many gals either from my experience.
Moronic? Idiotic? Foolhardy? Illconsidered?
Am I getting warm?
Even strung together, I don’t think words approach a proper description of this instance.
Language simply fails on this level.
Never seen the Jaminators, I like that one.
Sum of all Thrills is one of the few things that Kay mentioned, actually.
She has had Beverley, so I won't be able to sucker... er, fool her again.
The boat might be an idea, though.... hmm. Where's the dock for that one?
(Going on the list)
The “Jams” are fun (as are most of the Atmo-musicians on world).
The boat docks right outside the International Gateway (between the France & England pavilions).
In truth, you can probably get to Boardwalk a bit quicker on foot, but the boats are an attraction in themselves.
I wouldn't mind exploring Tom Sawyer Island myself,
(never been)
but I don't think it's in Kay's area of interest.
I get that…
To me, the barrel bridge and escape tunnel in Fort Langhorn (when it’s open) are worth the side trip alone. One can easily regress about 40-odd years in age without realizing you’ve done it.
(or worrying about what any of the other “grown-ups’ think about you).
But with a teen at your side, momentary regression may not be allowed.
The eye rolling alone could cause serious injury.
I like the wedway after dark option, though. That's going on the list.
That’s a good one; very relaxing. Another point is that your eyes don’t have to adjust as the train goes in and out of the attractions (allowing for the best views of SM in particular)
Sword in the stone! You know, I don't think I've ever even seen it. On the list.
It’s by the carousel and makes for a nice photo- op. They used to do a ceremony with Merlin for the little ones, but have since stopped that I believe. But… There are still reports that from time to time, for unexplained random reasons (like maybe if the young lady is just cute enough, oh and mickey ears might help too), you can give it a yank and the sward will still move. You just got to be lucky.
I thought the phone no longer worked?
Hadn’t tried it in a while. If so, that’s too bad.
I’ve always liked little hidden things like that.
Last time we were there the phones in England no longer worked either.
Another unfortunate loss.
Wilderness Explorer. I think we'll at least take a look at it and decide from there.
I may pop back over to the Mara for some ZDs.....
No sense in missing ZDs and taking a moment or two to just watch the critters hanging around the Savannah area.
You can do as much or as little of the WE booklet as you want. Some of it is silly (ok, most of it is), but it’s a diversion. Just remember… The wilderness must be explored!... Kaw, Kaw!... Rawr!
I was contemplating the mini golf.
We have a free coupon. But... the stars would have to line up just right, I think.
Watching the water parade is on the list, but who knows if it'll happen.
Those are “if there’s time” attractions. Worth doing at least once if you can swing it but don’t lose valuable time on the detours if you don’t have it to spare.
Nope. You've got some really good ideas there.
Some I hadn't thought about, so that's all good.
Thanks!
Just another public service that I offal…
