CSE-- Pg. 74 SATAN'S HAMMER, Ch.18, pg.160 "Goodnight Sweetheart" epilogue

[smidgy]

I forgot that at AK, while in line for Kali, Jackson and I were leaning against the big rock walls. then the kids behind us started doing that and their mom said "kids, stayaway from those walls, they're dirty" I thought, "sheesh, so the kids get a little dirty" but then she said "they smell" ...

so I sniff, and sure enough she's right! me: "Jackson, get away from that yucky wall!" it stund of urine! yup. someones kids had to go potty while in line, so they let him pee on the rocks. boy , was I indebted to that mom!

now I knowit's a long line and all, but if kid has to go, tell the people in front of you and behind you and go and come back.. I know this is a sore subject on the Dis, but I would have no problem letting someone take there kid to the bathroom and get back in line. I know some complain about it. better that then let them pee in line.

so we made new best freinds on that lng line. kim and todd talked to the guy in front, who was also a teacher, and Jackson and I talked to the nice family with 2 kids behind us. then Jackson played games on kim's phone a lot. boy, I'm really starting to like those smart phones!

so we didn't get to sit in a tub with any of our new best friends! I started taking my shoes off, Jackson started to copy Grandma, the CM said, "no you have to leave your shoes on" so while I was putting them back on (stupid me) we somehow lost our "group". darn! we'll never see them again! and we shared SO much!

I'm so far behind on the chatter, but I did catch your new chapter.

There, that's all that matters.

Your secret is safe with me, though I sincerely doubt that this will be your last foray into the children's menu now that you know how good a value it can be.

I/m still not quite sure on the concept of how evil it is to order off the kids menu as an adult. Sometimes
you just want a little bit to eat and don't want to waste food, you know? So, is this stealing? Am I morally bankrupt and a useless bane on society?
Or does anybody else do this with out feeling the guilts, or pretending it's for their own kids?
Come on, talk to me! I want to do it again but without the fear that they are going to take away my Mouse ears.

normally , that would be the case. the problem here is that , in the USA, they think it is normal for fathers to only get to spend time with their children every other weekend.

Wait, are you saying that Todd and I need to spend more time together? We'll kill each other!

Can't help you with the pictures - I can never find Waldo, or spot any of the differences so I certainly can't figure out which park a picture of some nice Disney flowers was taken in

I am OCD every Sunday with the comics section trying to find ALL 6 differences between the two pictures.

I love Mission Space but have found that as I get, um, less young I can't handle it the way I used to. I can do the orange side once but if I try it a second time in the same day I'm in trouble. I don't vomit (thankfully) but my head continues to spin for quite a while after I'm off the ride.

We need a Linda Blair smiley with the head spinining around.

ok, I'll do my best. tee hee

nebo actually had NO IDEA who phinneas and furb are!!! what kind of Grandpa is that?! gasp!
..

Oh of course I know those two, and all too well. When we go back now in late November, Test Track still won't be open because it's not phinneas, it's still being furbed.

somehow, I early on, convinced them to do the Lion king show.


that was a big mistake..... I guess I never realized how much of a musical that is.. now, nebo and I love musicals... and I guess we are a couple of softies. ....

NOTE: to ANYONE bringing newbies to Disney. :
whatever musicals, fireworks,illuminations, songs, parades, etc etc. bring you and your hubby to tears....

um they wont' get it..

now, normally steve and I are sipping on our sunny d's , listening to the pleasant notes of circle of life. trying to not let the other see the tears on our cheeks.

well. I guess they liked it.

Fine, give away my personal emotional secrets and how I even cry when Ursula sings her song during Little Mermaid.

On the subject of P&F, my brother-in-law has had to watch it too many times with my neice and nephews so he lovingly calls the show um... Male body part that starts with a P and Fur. Not very appropriate or PC but funny!

 

[monymony3471]

Order what ever you want to eat. Who is going to stop you from paying for something that you want.

The only time it should be an issue is when you are an adult on any of the dining plans.

If you are paying cash, you should be able to order anything you want. It is no different than purchasing a snack.

ok, coming out of lurkdom to confess that I love getting kids Mickey waffles for breakfast. It's the perfect size, and they don't usually sell them in adult meals. I seem to think it consisted of two little waffles, one sausage, one bacon slice, an apple sauce, and a small milk for under $5! Everyday that starts with Mickey waffles is bound to be a great day.

No one has ever denied me the waffles, so I assume it's ok.

Barb, Barb, Barb, you have now, finally, after all these weeks reading my reports, finally sunk to the level of M
ike and Ponzi.
And your B I L has got to be a riot when he orders a Pina Colada! My buddy Kris whom I just recently mentioned, not only used the word you were talking about, but also the female word that's not too far from Colada when he ordered one. You know, the one Jerry hoped rhymed with Dolores? Back then, those drinks were rare, so I stopped going to the Hawaiian styled bars with him.

Order what ever you want to eat. Who is going to stop you from paying for something that you want.

Well, I don't think it's that cut and dried. The sign does say it's for kids, 3-9. You put those numers together and I'm STILL past it.

The only time it should be an issue is when you are an adult on any of the dining plans.

Oh, whew, I've never been an adult on ANY plan!
Boy, Ponzi and Bankr are kicking themselves for not getting to that line first.

So, what you are saying is that we are going to suffer eternal darnation together. But yeah, that was pretty much what me french toast platter was,,,,but I know I got two peices of sausage, maybe they just felt generous that morning. But know what's funny?
I REALLY enjoyed the applesauce that morning!
So now that we've cleared that up, let's talk about you.

I think this is your second post now on this thread, but you seem right at home doing it, what gives with that?

Was there something in your past that makes you shy away from Nebo threads?
You can talk to me, pretend it's just us two, which, lately, pretty much describes things here.
Are you maybe in the witness protection program? Is that
why you are so quiet?
Or, was it something Ponzi said?
If he's the reason, we can make him an offer he can't refuse.

Thanks for posting lurker, yes, you got it right, i'm bored right now.

No more morally bankrupt than Disney calling a 10-yr-old an adult. Order all the kid meals you want, we'll get you more mouse ears! ;-)

We watched a new episode of P&F earlier tonight. That's right, 2 adults without kids. We mIght order off the kid menu tomorrow. Pushin' that envelope, I tell ya!

Bored here too, except that I get to DIS on a Fri night. . Hubby's working on a project for a class he's taking.

 

[sewmess]

... But know what's funny?

DH (and I to an extent) is a big Superman fan, so he did watch Smallville when it was on. Lex Luther, in the first four seasons or so, was always being knocked out, thus leading my DH to note at some time that if a person had actually been hit in the head as many times as Lex had, he'd just look at people and say "I like pudding" Of course, my wonderful DH took it all the way to this:

Lex is in court, finally being brought to justice for all the horrible things he did. Superman testifies, Lana Lang testifies, Lois Lane testifies and so on. . .finally the judge turns to the defendant to see if he has anything to say for himself. Lex slowly stands and says, "Your honor, members of the jury, I would like to say that I truly - deeply, honestly, and truly - love pudding."

-the point I'm trying to make here, Nebo, is that your head injury is why you enjoyed that applesauce so much.

Not that brain damage is funny. It's very serious and people prone to banging their delicate brains around in their skulls should invest in a helmet.

 

[pkondz]

You can talk to me, pretend it's just us two, which, lately, pretty much describes things here.

Geez! I've been busy madly typing away a response for ya and this is what I get?

Okay, and work's making me work... but still.

why you are so quiet?

Thanks for posting lurker, yes, you got it right, i'm bored right now.

Oh, sweet! An offer I can't refuse... Complimentary park tickets? Club level at Grand Floridian? Whatever it is, I can't wait!

But since you're bored...

Ok, NO Jimmy Cranky Corn lines this time, just some serious trip reporting, from Jimmy Olsen instead.
(who's Jimmy Olsen? I don't know, who cares.)

I'm actually curious if anyone else does know who Jimmy Olsen is?

Without Google that is.

so with drinks in our REFILLABLE mugs, we wandered over to Art's Animation Resort.

Fine. Let's call them 'Refillers' from now on, since 'Mug' just won't do.

Our first stop was trying to get into the pool area, where the bar is. Yes, please explain to me why they don't want ME to spend money at this bar?

Simple. Their insurance premiums would go sky high after a visit from you.

See the sky? How nice and clear and blue it is?

I was thinking of photoshopping in some menacing clouds... then I realised I'd just be making your case for you.

We then went and looked around a bit more in the food court, and it's definately the most diverse of all the typical Disney food courts,

You mean food choice wise? Or decor wise.

And while we were spending all of 15 minutes inside the main building, the people in charge of the lighting and props had gone to work again, removing the blue sky and replacing it with dark, gray clouds.

I rest my case... your case... whatever.

I wonder if they really do enforce at all intruders like us being there, we went and got a couple of seats at the bar.

Easy enough to find out. Next time, when you're ready to leave... and don't care if you get another drink or not... Tell the bartender that you're not staying there and see what happens.

I'm betting that he won't care, but you never know.

Yeah, go ahead, throw us out now right before we order two ten dollar drinks, I dare Ya!

Sure. And then you're angry. And then you'll go back to your own hotel and have four ten dollar drinks just because you're ticked off.

One other person was sitting there and the bartender looked like he was already on his drive home, we just might have postponed that right now, meaning, he's not all that thrilled to see us.

It might be more of, "Oh, great. It's that guy. Maybe I should save time and call the ambulance now."

Ya never know.

(Termite walks into a tavern and asks "Is the bartender here?")

Well of course he wood.

Once again, they are closing off the pool area, this means we have to drink up quickly our 10 dollar Mai Tais, (with tip) and get the heck out of Dodge.

Ford the waters of the pool and Chevrolet off to your own hotel.

I also had something nagging in the back of my brain damaged head that I knew needed to be rethunked, but I could'nt put my finger on it.

Raise right hand above head. Bend elbow approximately 90 degrees. Extend index finger (I said index finger!! Sheesh). Put finger on back of brain damaged head.


There, was that so hard?

The manoeuvre, not your head.

Earlier, Todd and them came back from MK

That right there pretty clearly indicates your level of frustration. I’m pretty sure that’s the first time you’ve referred to Jackson et al, as “and them”.

get on over to the Studios to make sure we don't let Jackson miss Light's, Motors, Action, Jackson.

Especially since it’s named after him.

So, let's recap tonight, no, I didn't get to talk to Jackson about today, or yesterday for that matter.
No, I dind't get to sit with my wife and enjoy a cocktail by the outside bar. Yes, I did get rained on again.

I'm already thinking about the November trip,

I really can’t blame you. Vacations are supposed to be fun, aren’t they?

Back in the room I think I might have been a tad sarcastic when I said, "Next time I'm looking forward to coming here with people I know, like complete strangers."

I know you weren’t exactly chuckling when you said that, but…


That is pretty funny.

Hey, what can I say, it's been a bad week.

Yeah, you get a free pass. I’m gonna take it easy on you.


Nahhhh…

That's what's so great about staying on site, anyone can leave a group at anytime and still have a way home for all of you.

True. Nobody’s tied down. Wanna sleep in (or conversely, someone wants to go earlier), no problem. Meet up later, ‘cause there’s always a bus just a few minutes away.

EVERYTHING sounds good to me right now!

Well, Ok, maybe not brussels sprouts or spinach, but you get the idea.

Did you know that brussels sprouts do not in fact come from Brussels?

No it’s true! They actually were brought up from a very hot place by a dude with horns on his head and hooves instead of feet. I think he had ‘em speared on a pitchfork.

At least that’s my opinion.

Why would anybody want to eat a gamey tasting duck when there's plenty of chickens walking around?

For the gamey taste?

Can you tell I haven't eaten yet tonight?

Yes, but it’s very subtle. I don’t think anyone noticed.

I was hoping for the fried chicken which Smidgy got but no, tonight it was the roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and green beans.

Dude, I’d take that over fried chicken any day.

Oh, does relish count? What is relish? I've never heard of somebody growing relish, and then walking around the neighborhood every september with baskets of it to give to neighbors like they do with those nasty tomato things.

Basically cucumber. Basically pickled cucumber, aka pickles. Chop ‘em up and there ya go.

I remember the time I was into sunflower seeds, and I grew my own crop of them.

You grew a crop of seeds?? Wow! Most people have to grow the whole flower. You’re a genetics whiz aren’t you? Makes sense since you’re also a genetic anomaly.

What? You’ve got the “accident” gene.

Deny it if you can.

Well I am very happy to say that it's grown a lot in a couple of years, I could not even finish it! I asked for extra gravy and they even gave me a "side" extra cup of that too, and it all tasted just great. I would most definately order it again. It reminded me of a great Thanksgiving dinner, with no one glaring at you for taking the best white meat breast slices. Oh, and pretty sure a roll and butter came with the dinner too! And nobody pressuring you to "At least TRY the pearl onions casserole dish I made with yams."

All right! All right! Geez, now I’m hungry!

We ate outside the food court, which is dining "Al Fresco" which is better than dining "Al Bundy", or even Al Jolson, "You ain't tasted nothing yet, folks," and no, we weren't going to dine with "Say hello to my little friend" Al, mainly because it's about 48 degrees in there. I have no idea what she got for dinner, I know she's a big fan of the shrimp Lo Mein there, but I thought she had already gotten that this trip.

What was that Ponzi? Oh, think that's funny eh?
No, I'm also not dining Al Anon.

I didn’t say a thing! Well, al I was going to say was that you’d think it would be warmer then 48… at least according to Al Gore. Besides Al Roker forecast that it was going to be warmer too! I heard it on Al Jazeera… No, wait it was Al Sharpton that said it. Whatever, it’s not supposed to be cold as Al Franken’s, Minnesota. BTW, were the Lo Mein noodles al dente?


Okay, okay, I’m al done. I’m outta here quick as Al Unser.

That night I slept "fair",

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who sleeps the fairest of them all?

it's Early Entry tomorrow, meaning the park opens at 8:00!

We aren't meeting them until 8:15, and that 's IF they are on time.

Not again!

After that brilliant handling of Early Entry today at MK, it's actually, really, undeniably, indubitably, unequivically going to be repeated tomorrow!

( Is anybody else hearing Munchkins talking right now?)

No. Just how hard did you hit your head?

Ok, half of a couple more pictures, I have a hard time counting that high.

You were only off by one. You did very well, considering.

but they all really liked it without any repercussions.

(hmm, looking at that ,,, does that mean they had "percussions", without a drummer, or could only do it once?)

No, it means the Reaper has come to give you another cussion to hasten your demise. (He’s neither procussion or concussion)

I hate when my mind does that to me.

You’re not alone.

Diane still made it back before they got out, what a trooper, and she was a pooped trooper. A super duper pooped trooper.

This is a true story.
At work, one of my coworkers decided to give another coworker a break by doing her job early, thus saving her the trouble of doing it. While he was thus engaged, she mentioned that he was a real trouper... no, a Super trouper. When he got back she said, "Hey! You're a real trouper! You remind me of that Abba song!"

He was just trying to be funny.

He wanted a laugh by appearing to not understand.

He replied, "What? You mean Dancing Queen?"

I don't think the words were fully out of his mouth when he realized with horror that he had possibly picked the absolute worst song title.

That was years ago. We haven't let him live it down yet.

Oh yeah, I know I have some pictures in here somewhere from today, hang on ;

Oh, I already posted them? See, the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is drinking.

I do. A manhattan.

Yeah, I still post them warts and all, but I don't do it immediately now.

So the quality hasn’t gone up, just the laziness?

We are now in killing time mode until the fasties for Soarin' are up, and they decided then to skip the Prime Time Ressie, which by now was the best choice they could have made.

I presume you mean from a time crunch standpoint?

Ok, ok, what I did was,,, well,,, um, you see I really wasn't all that hungry,
and well, um,,,, ok, ALLRIGHT, I'LL TALK!
I ordered off the children's menu!

That might be a hot topic… or not… but I don’t care. Seems to me the restaurant can have one of two things happen. 1. They make their normal profit by selling you a kid’s meal, or 2. You don’t order anything or go somewhere else.

Sure, maybe you’ll order the adult’s meal and they’ll make a bigger profit… once. Since you won’t be back to a restaurant that won’t sell you something that’s on the menu.

Especially if it’s take out like Sunshine Seasons.
“I’m sorry, sir. But we can’t sell you a child’s meal unless you can provide proof of immaturity.”
“Sure no sweat… ummm…. See that kid over there? He’s mine.”
“That’s a little girl, sir.”
“Okay, she’s mine.”

I thought it might still be ok cuz I still have the mind of a child, 21 trips to Disney prove it, right?

Ah, but now you have to show all your old ticket stubs to prove it.

Ok, next to each item, I'll assign a number of assuridnance. HUH? What the heck is that word?

Guesstimation.

Ok, a "confidence" number, with 10 being the most confident on what I'm saying.

So you ran a confidence scheme to get your kid’s meal.

Check.

We then got the best seats you can get on Soarin', row one, which means the highest and no feet in your view, center collumn. I've said before, and I know it makes no sense, but with row one the highest, you are also a little closer to the screen, and when you swoop down to the water parts, you feel even more like you are going to end up with wet feet.

Just curious. How sure are you of that? I got the impression that the seats were pretty evenly stacked one above the other. Course it’s been a while since I rode it last.

Diane does NOT like doing row one, and it just figures that NOW she gets to sit next to Jackson.
The whole ride she was terrified; for herself, AND him.

Interesting. So she feels better when she sees feet above her? Sort of, “I’m fine, at least I’m nowhere near as high as those poor sods.”

Thanks for the chapter! :

ok, I'll do my best. tee hee

nebo actually had NO IDEA who phinneas and furb are!!! what kind of Grandpa is that?! gasp!

Actually, I don’t really know who they are either. I’ve heard of ‘em and recognize them now, but… I guess I’ll have to tell the DDs that they can never have kids.

soon the life guards were shushing us all away.

That’s what you get for being so loud.

HEY!!!! glad I caught you!!! STILL OPEN??? OH OBOY!"" aren't you glad to SEE me? bet you thought you wouldn't have any business tonight, but here I am!! in my experience, they say : listen to my dumb jokes , and I "might" tip you a dollar, maybe two.

Too bad you don’t tip ahead of time. “Hmmm… you tipped a dollar… I’ll give you a glass of water… to go.”

turns out he was a very cute , young gay guy who used to work at wilderness lodge. ..... how do I know that? (nebo never gets this.. I do.. I have very good Gaydar)

Funny. I thought, “How does she know he used to work at Wilderness Lodge”?

and I left him a very good tip. (nebo gets mad at my tipping. he is a good tipper, but sometimes those of us in the "biz" tend to overtip.. to make up for all the cheapstakes")

Not only that. I used to be a cook and we didn’t get any of the tip money. But I sure learned just how hard people in the industry work. I tip high too.

well, besides doing the 2 big rides (the safari and expedition everst)twice and doing the stupid tusker house lunch, ,and waiitng in line for the stupid kali river rapids for 110 minutes. we did everything!! except for the bird show. ok not the trails..

I love your description. Best day ever! Except for the fact that most of it was stupid! But we did everything! Except we didn’t do everything!

NOTE: to ANYONE bringing newbies to Disney. :
whatever musicals, fireworks,illuminations, songs, parades, etc etc. bring you and your hubby to tears....

um they wont' get it..

Yep. That’s true.

well. I guess they liked it.

Wow. Really? I’m surprised.

.

Glad to know you’re so punctual.

"Jackson, get away from that yucky wall!" it stund of urine! yup. someones kids had to go potty while in line, so they let him pee on the rocks.

Eww… What’s with people? My BIL let his kid do that… in our backyard. Ummm… ya know, we do have a bathroom just inside that building… right beside you…

Smidgy, how hard are you trying for that 5000 post milestone?

 

[bankr63]

I'm actually curious if anyone else does know who Jimmy Olsen is?

Without Google that is.

Even after peeking on google, I don't remember him.

Fine. Let's call them 'Refillers' from now on, since 'Mug' just won't do.

Well how about "sustainable" mugs - to go along with the fish...

OMG! I read this like 3 times in Nebo's original post trying to figure out the joke - is he going to get to the punchline later? It's now like 2 days later, and rereading it here the nickle dropped immediately! That's too funny!

Ford the waters of the pool and Chevrolet off to your own hotel.

Yes sir, you need to be back in your room in 5 minutes or you'll get wet. Datsoon?

Basically cucumber. Basically pickled cucumber, aka pickles. Chop ‘em up and there ya go.

So yes, green and a vegetable. Relish; natures perfect food!

Especially if it’s take out like Sunshine Seasons.
“I’m sorry, sir. But we can’t sell you a child’s meal unless you can provide proof of immaturity.”
“Sure no sweat… ummm…. See that kid over there? He’s mine.”
“That’s a little girl, sir.”
“Okay, she’s mine.”

To weigh in on this one, I don't see anything wrong with eating a child's portion. We all waste too much food, especially on vacation. I think it is perfectly acceptable to order small and not waste!

 

[smidgy]

.

ok. after posting, I kept thinking of something else I wanted to say. (gee, Diane, that's what the "edit" button" is for). so I dept adding another post.

the last one I started going on about father's rights, inequalities, and other soapbox issues, thought, nah nebo's TR isn't the place for that.

so you know you can't delete a wholse post? so I "left my mark"


aoubt the prime time ADR. this was added not long before the trip. Todd decided he wanted to go back there (we took the boys there on our first trip, when they were 10 and 13). so we started out with only one ADR for arrival night (trex) and no water parks. 2 character meals, prime time and both water parks were added!

well, I kinda whispered in kim's ear a couple times that morning that it would be really hard to do what we want at epcot and get over to prime time by 11 (might've been 11:30). and finish eating in time for the car stunt show.

she just said, "we'll play it by ear" I finally said, "yeah, it's hard to play it by ear with ADRs". so they actually agreed and cancelled it. we did some more epcot stuff, and later that day they ended up eating dinner there with only a 10 min. wait.

ooh! I didn't know I was so close to the 5000 mark!!! (how exciting!)

 

[Backstage_Gal]

ooh! I didn't know I was so close to the 5000 mark!!! (how exciting!)

Now you'll have to post when you sneeze, LOL.

I swear that I had at least 7,000 posts added to my count that I never posted. This happened a few years back. No way I posted over 10,000 posts, I am not a big talker

I know you've mentioned that before...
So maybe you're not a "big talker" but a prodigious typer.

 

[pkondz]

I finally said, "yeah, it's hard to play it by ear with ADRs".

Very subtle, Smidgy.

ooh! I didn't know I was so close to the 5000 mark!!! (how exciting!)

There should be a prize for that or something. A special tag maybe...

Of course if there was, I'd be posting...

 

[pkondz]

like...

 

[pkondz]

this.

 

[sewmess]

Thought you might like that.

And obviously I know who Jimmy Olsen is. I even thought about having him testify.



And Smidgy. . .That's the Burma Shave way of posting.

Lex slowly stands and says, "Your honor, members of the jury, I would like to say that I truly - deeply, honestly, and truly - love pudding."

-the point I'm trying to make here, Nebo, is that your head injury is why you enjoyed that applesauce so much.

Not that brain damage is funny. It's very serious and people prone to banging their delicate brains around in their skulls should invest in a helmet.

Oh, I wish I cuold have had pudding instead of applesauce. Thanks for a funnystory sewer rat. Your DH sounds like somebody I'd like.

Fine. Let's call them 'Refillers' from now on, since 'Mug' just won't do.

Ok, we'll try, Refillers it is.

Simple. Their insurance premiums would go sky high after a visit from you.

Real funny, and I can't argue it either.



You mean food choice wise? Or decor wise.

Yes.
Ok, ok, I do mean both though. The food has things like Naan bread like at Animal Kingdom Lodge's Saana, and the decor is really a weird theme too, off the wall post modern apocalyptic neo renaisance early Mediterranean Colonial style. I'm sure you know what I mean. It's something Joey and Chandler would have come up with.


Well of course he wood.

Ok, you got it, but I'm still betting it trips somebody up,,,, IF they admit it.

Ford the waters of the pool and Chevrolet off to your own hotel.

Hyundai can't think of a clever line to add to this, although I think I Audi. I'm so sad, (Saab)


For the gamey taste?

You like Donald and Daffy?


Dude, I’d take that over fried chicken any day.

Well, when you're right,,,,yeah, it was really good.

Basically cucumber. Basically pickled cucumber, aka pickles. Chop ‘em up and there ya go.

Never tho8ght of that, Ok, I like pickles, no wonder I relish relish.

You grew a crop of seeds?? Wow! Most people have to grow the whole flower. You’re a genetics whiz aren’t you? Makes sense since you’re also a genetic anomaly.

Oh man, what a waste of space that was! I could not believe how easy they were to grow, and how badly they also filled up with ants. Each flower had thousands of seeds I'm guessing, but now way was I dealing with the ants, and they had to be sawed down, the base stem was like trunks after growing for 5 months, yeah that's all it was, 5 months, and they are ANNUALS!



I didn’t say a thing! Well, al I was going to say was that you’d think it would be warmer then 48… at least according to Al Gore. Besides Al Roker forecast that it was going to be warmer too! I heard it on Al Jazeera… No, wait it was Al Sharpton that said it. Whatever, it’s not supposed to be cold as Al Franken’s, Minnesota. BTW, were the Lo Mein noodles al dente?

Ok, great contribution, but I like my Als better. At least you didn't add mr. quida to the mix. Not kidding, I was sitting at the puter and Smidgy walked by, and I asked her to give me a funny Al. She was no help.


Okay, okay, I’m al done. I’m outta here quick as Al Unser.



This is a true story.
At work, one of my coworkers decided to give another coworker a break by doing her job early, thus saving her the trouble of doing it. While he was thus engaged, she mentioned that he was a real trouper... no, a Super trouper. When he got back she said, "Hey! You're a real trouper! You remind me of that Abba song!"

He was just trying to be funny.

He wanted a laugh by appearing to not understand.

He replied, "What? You mean Dancing Queen?"

I don't think the words were fully out of his mouth when he realized with horror that he had possibly picked the absolute worst song title.

That was years ago. We haven't let him live it down yet.



Yeah, that's funny, and I can see how that will forever make him infamous as long as he works there.



So the quality hasn’t gone up, just the laziness?

Hmm "How 'bout that?"


That might be a hot topic… or not… but I don’t care. Seems to me the restaurant can have one of two things happen. 1. They make their normal profit by selling you a kid’s meal, or 2. You don’t order anything or go somewhere else.

Sure, maybe you’ll order the adult’s meal and they’ll make a bigger profit… once. Since you won’t be back to a restaurant that won’t sell you something that’s on the menu.

So far,nobody has called me cheap yet for ordering off the kids menu, but why do I still feel so guilty about it? Really, if anybody out there see why I should not do this, please share your opinions here,
I won't get mad in the slightest, I'm just looking for what's right I guess. Or if not right, at least what's not morally reprehensible.

Especially if it’s take out like Sunshine Seasons.
“I’m sorry, sir. But we can’t sell you a child’s meal unless you can provide proof of immaturity.”
“Sure no sweat… ummm…. See that kid over there? He’s mine.”
“That’s a little girl, sir.”
“Okay, she’s mine.”

I was "This" close to using the Billy Zane routine from Titanic, "I have a Child!" , but I had already done something like that in a previous report, and I've caught myslef a few times doing that. ( and I've missed a few times as well)

Ah, but now you have to show all your old ticket stubs to prove it.

I like the Korean method of I.D. used on M A S H, "This is me!"



Just curious. How sure are you of that? I got the impression that the seats were pretty evenly stacked one above the other. Course it’s been a while since I rode it last.

No, I'm pretty sure of it. If they were right over you, then You wouldn't see their feet overhead, but it's like a reverse stadium seating, and I think the IMax thype screen is tilted away from you to maintain an equal distance/ height ratio. No, I don't know for sure, but I'm also not making this up either, unlike people commenting on lunar effects on pets and kithenware.

Interesting. So she feels better when she sees feet above her? Sort of, “I’m fine, at least I’m nowhere near as high as those poor sods.”

The proper answer here is
Yup.



Funny. I thought, “How does she know he used to work at Wilderness Lodge”?

I KNEW that was coming!



I love your description. Best day ever! Except for the fact that most of it was stupid! But we did everything! Except we didn’t do everything!



This is funny cuz I said the same thing: "So, you did everything? Except the headliner attractions of Pangani Trail, Maharajah Trail, the Discovery Island Trails, Flights of Wonder bird show, The train ride to Rafiki"s Planet Watch, The Boneyard children's zone, the Jammin Jungle parade,,,,




Eww… What’s with people? My BIL let his kid do that… in our backyard. Ummm… ya know, we do have a bathroom just inside that building… right beside you…

For some reason, many ADULTS seem to think that kids excretions aren't the same as adults, like it doesn't count or something as real pee or poo, haven't figured that one out yet why.

Smidgy, how hard are you trying for that 5000 post milestone?

Think I said before, she thinks Bill Gates and Microsoft are going to send her a hundred dollars for every post.
or a Nigerian business man is going to.
