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

the guy who wrote "mama told me not to come" also wrote "you've got a friend in me" and "short people".. Randy newman. just found that out sat. night from one of the band memebers at the front bar at the restaurant.

I had a feeling I was "doomed" about 10pm the night before we left when, not only couldn't I sleep, but my throat was scratchy. sunday it was sore, anelephant was sitting non my chest, and I had had about 1 and a hlf-2 hours sleep, tops.
I thought I did a great job lasting as long as I did(I had been hoping to get in a nap. ) but we will always take the better room, even if we have to wait for it, instead of the not-so-good one just cause it's ready.
and he had the nerve to yell at me for ruining his video by coughing!!! harrumph!:mad:
 
great chapter Nebo! That "executive" desk really is a bummer. Must be because of the convention center?

An alarming number of the acts that you've seen at Epcot are dead now. Does this worry you? I think 'ole Chuck's days could be numbered...

Poor Smidgy. You probably complain about how much she packs before you steal her underwear, don't you? :sad2:
 
I figured there was no time like the present to go in search of the ice machine. This turned out to be quite a bit of a walk, those machines are usually in the center of the buildings and we were close to the end.

Uh oh. These ice machines walks are sometimes hazardous.

We really hated this, otherwise it's a great room. Two queen beds, 8 pillows total, might have even been more on the wire shelf, even the folding partition from the vanity area has been replaced now with a double sliding doors.

I loved the sliding doors. They should put them in all the moderates.

And I liked that there's a regular vanity with counter top instead of the pedestal sinks they used to have.

You're thinking of POR because I remember I really disliked them there. CSR has always had the counter.

Ok, that's enough, I'm getting too helpful and actually informative now.

Can't have that in a trip report.

Don't you hate that when the machine takes the bill half way in,,, and then spits it back at you?

Yes, which is why it's great I now have a kid that begs to handle the transaction.

After a drink in the room,,, we are officially opening things up with Fuzzy Cups tonight,,,which Diane is now making up for us.

Fuzzy cups!!

I do remember that it was right about this time that the degree of Smidgy's contagious, infectious disease was just becoming known to us, as you can hear her expectorating in the backgound even though the lights clearly said, "Filming in Progress, be quiet."

Poor Smidgy.

Ever since Smidgy got busted at Magic Kingdom with little bottles STICKING out of her pockets, I'm the one who usually gets the honors of smuggling them into the parks.
Yes, cargo pants come in handy for nightime park time.

And if it's a big night you add a fisherman's vest.

As we head to the bus stop,, I'm looking at my hunched over shadow trying to keep up,

Trying to keep up with your shadow?

I have the feeling once again,, and again,,,, the water park is not a gonna happen. We each still have 8 water park tickets left on a no expiration pass,,, best deal we ever made,,,,
IF we use them!

Isn't there a lazy river there? Seems like it would be perfect for you.

On this next picture,, well, this is where I throw my hands up in the air to look like this guy, :confused3 I have no idea what this is supposed to be, The Mount Apemore of Life? But I'm reasonably certain,,, that the giraffes are not real.

Disney found another clever way to plug a movie.

Here they are, all the way from C'ville Illinois, otherwise known as District 12, Kantkiss and Peatamoss!

Did you know that the trouble making 13th district in Hunger Games is New Jersey?

By the time we got to Phoenix,,, I mean,,,to World Showcase,,, our Fuzzies were dead, and we stopped for a beer before we continued on our way.

What happened to the little bottles?

Not just from me, Smidgy's voice is starting to sound more and more like Mercedes McCambridge when she dubbed in over Linda Blair in the Excorcist!

Tell me you had to look that up on IMDB and you didn't know that off the top of your head!

The strangest thing though about this 35 minute concert, was the play selections.

Couldn't be as strange as David Cassidy's when we saw him. He thought we all wanted to hear his new stuff.

I hate to say that I'm not the biggest fan,,,, no, sorry,, rock and bagpipe music to me is not a good fit.

I just wonder why bagpipes are in the Canadian section.

no pop,,,

Careful, your midwestern is showing.

Thankfully, no real plans for tomorrow, hang by the main pool, then when we're ready, head on out to DD for dinner at Planet Hollywood using our voucher and converting our tickets into AP's.

Sounds like a great plan. I hope you remembered to order the burger you didn't get last time.

( ok,, I had to listen,, why does my voice sound so high and squeeky in the video?)

I didn't think that but for some reason in my head, your voice sounds more New Yorkish. Then I hear it on the video and it's midwestern. I'll have to revise.

must be the new underwear.

I wish Smidgy would have told me she's wearing a smaller size now.

Did you start reading those books Nebo?

Great chapter!
 
Uh oh. These ice machines walks are sometimes hazardous.
You's funny!


And if it's a big night you add a fisherman's vest.

Great idea! Market it!


Isn't there a lazy river there? Seems like it would be perfect for you.

You think with all of his mishaps Disney would put one in in every park just for him. He should practically own them by now.

What happened to the little bottles?

He forgot to wear his fishing vest!

Tell me you had to look that up on IMDB and you didn't know that off the top of your head!

My DH and nebo are wired the same, they have all this useless information stuck in their heads just waiting for them to have a use for it.
Couldn't be as strange as David Cassidy's when we saw him. He thought we all wanted to hear his new stuff.

I hate when that happens!

I just wonder why bagpipes are in the Canadian section.

Apparently someone imagineer had a fixation with bagpipes and was very good at playing poker.

Careful, your midwestern is showing.

Is that a bad thing? Should I be more careful?


I didn't think that but for some reason in my head, your voice sounds more New Yorkish. Then I hear it on the video and it's midwestern. I'll have to revise.

I always thought he'd sound more like Sam Elliott. I'll just keep thinking that.

Hi Laura, I'm Monica nice to meet you!
 

Smidgy has bronchitis. Or pneumonia. Maybe Nebo won't have to fall down the stairs this trip to get the usual medical emergency into this trip report. Great report as always--I spend more time snickering and snorting my way through these reports, good thing I work at home.
 
You's funny!

You's funny too.

Great idea! Market it!

Nebowear?

My DH and nebo are wired the same, they have all this useless information stuck in their heads just waiting for them to have a use for it.

Good thing he can jam it into a trip report then.

Apparently someone imagineer had a fixation with bagpipes and was very good at playing poker.

A Canadian?

Is that a bad thing? Should I be more careful?

Nah. I lived in the land of soda pop and bubblers for quite a while myself.

I always thought he'd sound more like Sam Elliott. I'll just keep thinking that.

Well, now I'm racking my brain trying to remember what Sam Elliott sounds like. Can't get past the mustache.

Hi Laura, I'm Monica nice to meet you!

Hi Monica! Nice to meet you too!

Visit me here too!

Sorry Nebo. Gotta take these marketing opportunities when they arise.
 
Question: Is there anything more annoying than an eternally long trip report with no chapter links in the first post?

Answer: Yes, there is. An eternally long trip report with a never-ending horde of contributors who are almost as witty and entertaining as the author.

I have now lost 3 days of my life reading The Amazing Adventures of Smidgy and Nebo, unable to skip a single page, and I still have a few of the older TRs to read. Thanks so much for sharing your stories!
 
"Just an old-fashioned TR, Nebo with some Smidgy harmony..."

Nice chapter! Woohoo! And I scored one of the first looks! :woohoo:

Maria :upsidedow

That's cute Maria,, and it works so much better than:
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBOOOOOOOOOO'S COMING!


My sister was a big 3DN fan in High School, but weren't one or more of them in jail for significant portions of time when their career was at its peak?

margy, that could well be, I don't remember if it's true or not.

Hello Nebo just read your latest chapter brilliant banter as usual.Theres one thing I would like to mention probably ponzi will know this, him being a Canadian and all is that Off kilter have actually modelled their selves on an old established Scottish rock/folk group called Run Rig who do play in Canada quite a lot in fact they now have a Canadian lead singer now after their original went solo after a failed attempt to get into politicks I Have posted a link to YouTube with the original line up if you have the time in your busy schedule its worth watching just so you can see the difference . Hey it’s like saying the group at the rose & crown are better than the group they imitate as well This won"t let me post a link because I am still a greeen horn with less tha 10 posts but if you go to youtube.com and type in run rig loch lomond live that should get you there go for the 1991 version yes they are that old but still going strong.

Hey Macbrewski, there was a regular reader from my last report,,, or the one before that,,, who had a cousin that played in Off Kilter,, not sure what that's worth exactly,,:lmao: Oh,,, Will you just post 3 more times in a row and then we can all go out and celebrate, ok, you won't have the under ten limits.

THREE DOG NIGHT!!! I'm gonna have to buy a CD now, you reminded me of all the great songs I used to love! Can't believe they didn't play Joy to the World!
Great update! I have a bad feeling .... I sure hope Smidgy wasn't too sick during the trip :sick: That would just stink!

There were a lot of good songs they didn't do,,, and there were a lot of really crappy songs they didn't do either,,,,, "Shambala", the worst was "The World is black, the world is white,,,,," AARGH!
 
Well, now I'm racking my brain trying to remember what Sam Elliott sounds like. Can't get past the mustache.

Remember "BEEF - It's what's for dinner." ?? In the drawlin'est baritone cowboy voice you've ever heard. :cool2:



While I love the show, I could't help thinking about the songs they didn't play,,,,"Liar",, "Old Fashioned Love Song", "Out in the Country" , heck,,, what about "Jeremiah was a bullfrog?", or "Easy to be Hard? "that one was my favorite. They even left out "Celebrate, dance to the music"

Don'tcha hate that, when you get so little of what you're expecting? I saw 3DN once at a benefit concert here. I guess they had a longer set, so I was happy to hear more of those hits.

Hope Smidgy got better quick!! Great update, ready for the next one!
 
nebo, I just realized that we were only one building away from you (8-B). I thought I felt a disturbance in the Force when we were there.
 
Finding our now ready room was really easy, and it turned out to be just perfect for us now. Even though I am not a big Cabana theming fan at Coronado,,,, wow,,, you could nto beat our location with our room. And we were close enough to the Ranchos that much of our time would be spent by THAT pool, since the Cabana pool is as exciting as a Motel 6 pool that is not 10 feet from a highway!

That is an awesome room!

The first and strangest thing about the room is an important one,,,,,
The table with two chairs near the front of the room is GONE.

It has been replaced with a rectangular mahogony colored desk with a single, computer type desk chair in front of it!

That's crappy - that change wasn't decided by a woman :snooty:

Ok, that's enough, I'm getting too helpful and actually informative now.

Oh no, we can't have that! :rolleyes1

By the way,,, a bottle of vending machine Coke or Sprite,,,2.75,,,I think they are 20 ounces, or 149 Decacentimililiters for you Canadians,,,no, I don't forget this is a multi-racial trip report for all nationalities.

As a Canadian, I thank you for making sure to translate for me :rolleyes1

No, I'm not talking about protective athletic wear cups,,,

Oh,,,, ooooooo,,,ok,,, even I"m gonna just stop that one right there,,,,, Ewwww.

Hey, at least you didn't do what I did! Years ago, I took a picture of one of my boys, posted it on FB, then realized (a month later!) that on the top of the dresser behind him, in PLAIN SIGHT, was not one, but two, jocks! Yep, that's what happens when both boys are in soccer - those jocks migrate everywhere :lmao:

No, I don't know how this turns out, but I've got a pretty darn good idea,,,, and the key word is CRAPPY.
I'm afraid if i listen to it first, I just may delete it, and I don't want to do that,,,,so I'm going by the "what I don't know right stinkin now can't really hurt me."

Awwww, what a cute accent you have! :thumbsup2

I do remember that it was right about this time that the degree of Smidgy's contagious, infectious disease was just becoming known to us, as you can hear her expectorating in the backgound even though the lights clearly said, "Filming in Progress, be quiet."

Aww, poor Smidgy :grouphug: I :love: the corner windows - gorgeous!

For some reason,, the beds came with throw rugs on them, not sure why but this thing could have really come in handy at home. No, we didn't, but we wanted to, and I had to wonder, how many they lose everyday?

Didja throw them? Huh, didja? ::yes::

Yes, cargo pants come in handy for nightime park time.

Well sure!

I don't know what I was more afraid of then,,,
her head spinning around,,, or the green vomit shooting,,,

or,,,
I could have just said her voice sounded hoarse.
hmm
sorry

Just had a gross flashback :sick:

While I love the show, I could't help thinking about the songs they didn't play,,,,"Liar",, "Old Fashioned Love Song", "Out in the Country" , heck,,, what about "Jeremiah was a bullfrog?", or "Easy to be Hard? "that one was my favorite. They even left out "Celebrate, dance to the music"

I would have been :mad: if I'd seen that show and they didn't sing Jeremiah was a Bullfrog! I'd have been a heckler in that case :rotfl2:

Ended up down in the Land, Sunshine Seasons and went for something we had I think on our last trip,,, the evil Dr. Pork Chop meal.

I am SO going to call every pork chop meal that - forever! ::yes::

Thankfully, no real plans for tomorrow, hang by the main pool, then when we're ready, head on out to DD for dinner at Planet Hollywood using our voucher and converting our tickets into AP's.

Sounds heavenly! :angel:
 
Three Dog Night update. It wasn't a jail stay, it was court-ordered drug rehab for two of the bandmembers which caused the cancellation of most of the 1985 tour. Also, they are currently recording a studio album - first one in 24 years. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
 
Whew.... I just got caught up. Really stinks when life and work get in the way of keeping up with Nebo's trip report. Great update. What a great room. Definitely worth the wait!!!
 
I have now lost 3 days of my life reading The Amazing Adventures of Smidgy and Nebo, unable to skip a single page, and I still have a few of the older TRs to read. Thanks so much for sharing your stories!

:eek:somehow, I got top billing!!! how the heck did that happen???:woohoo:

they were ALWAYS Nebo's reports. but, somewhere along the line they became (have no idea how)" Nebo and smidgy's reports." but.. top billing? no, wait, can't handle it, nebo must always be on top. ...:rolleyes1...
 
Laura,I'm sure Nebo didn't "google" or whatever that info. I dont' even know if he knows HOW to do that! we have NO idea what IMBD is!!!:rotfl: his mind is like a steel trap (which can be annoyinf, if you are trying to win an argument!)

ps.I was born and raised in Chicago, and have NO idea what a "bubbler" is.


mony, so you think of Nebo as a Sam Elliot? sheesh, now there will be NO living with him!!;)

Lisa, he has absolutely NO accent at all! neither do I. everyone who DOESN'T live here has an accent!!!:rotfl:

all you people who don't get the bagpipes in Canada... what did you DO??? SLEEP THROUGH THE CANADA MOVIE?????!!!!! HHMMMM???!!

there are numerous cultures in Canada.. blah blah blah....
ponzi and lisa, help me out here. Nova Scotia???? um, New Scotland?

some of you people are so Ethnocentric!:snooty: (but I love you anyway :grouphug:)
 
his mind is like a steel trap

Like one of the those legal humane traps or like one of those mean ones? :rolleyes1

Lisa, he has absolutely NO accent at all! neither do I. everyone who DOESN'T live here has an accent!!!:rotfl:

Um.. OK then. Well, *I* don't have an accent and I don't live there :lmao:

all you people who don't get the bagpipes in Canada... what did you DO??? SLEEP THROUGH THE CANADA MOVIE?????!!!!! HHMMMM???!!

My dh wanted to see the dumb Canada movie once, so we did. Other than enjoying Martin Short (whom we love), that movie is beyond ridiculous :sad2:

there are numerous cultures in Canada.. blah blah blah....
ponzi and lisa, help me out here. Nova Scotia???? um, New Scotland?

Yep, we're a melting pot :goodvibes. Yes, the bagpipe-playing is more prevalent in the Maritimes for that reason. Pretty much every culture is well-represented in Canada, depending on the region. The bagpipe-playing isn't all that popular here on the West Coast, for some reason :lmao:

some of you people are so Ethnocentric!:snooty: (but I love you anyway :grouphug:)

How else could I be this cool? It's all that ethnocentricity LOL! :snooty:
