DIS Dads DDC XIII - Zerphonics spoken here!

Yep. Just saw it in a store here in Iowa. They dumped the White Ale this year for a new one called "Black and Brew" which is a coffee stout. Looks promising. Unfortunately they kept the Chocolate Bock (awful in my opinion).

It`s been a long while since I`ve bought this, there was no chocolate bock then...cranberry lambic still there?

So we are planning my tenth trip to the World mid December. Because there are five of us and we need appropriate rooms to accommodate all of us we decided to invite my parents to join us and just get two rooms at POP. To have some fun with the trip we decided to get them the classic Mickey Ear Hats with "Grandma" and "Grandpa" embroidered on the back. They showed up the other day ... but they said "Grandma" and "Lara" on the back. I'm trying to decide if my dad will be willing to change his name.

I was kinda stoked to get the CW pass next year because of Leviathan - looks incredilbe. It's half built now. I took a pic of it the other day from the 400 on my way into work. I will post it shortly.

Leviathan

From the highway heading South on 400.

For those familiar, it seems to be located in Medival Fare.

No. That got tossed out two years ago. Too bad to. That was the only way to ever buy that particular beer and while it isn't a true lambic it actually was very tasty.

Hmmm..is this a hyper-coaster?

Dammit, that WAS the reason to buy it, I can't find much here cranberry wise, other then a double chocolate cranberry stout, not the same. Now I'm not so sure on the purchase. I can get Winter Ale soon enough at work. I hate coffee, and the regular lager I can get anytime. A shame.... Guess I'll just get some Cherry Wheat and call it even.

I think I've mentioned a before that - although it isn't thanksgiving in Canada, we are doing a big Thanksgiving dinner tonight.

We have some friends coming over, and we got a 17.5 lb turkey.

The turkey's been defrosting in the fridge all since Wednesday.

I opened the turkey this morning - and it is missing a leg.

That SUCKS!

But hey, just means more of the other turkey parts.

You got Long John Turkey!!

Had to Google "hyper coaster" - but it appears it is.

According to HYPER COASTER on Wikipedia Leviatan is listed, as well as Behemoth (what opened about 4 years ago).

They really are HUGE!

I'm jealous!

Cedar Point is only giving us their version of "Dino-land" and some kind of new water slides in the water park.

But we do already have a couple of Hyper Coasters! If Leviathan is anything like our Millennium Force, it will be awesome!

Haha, the closest thing we have to a hyper coaster is the aligator coaster kiddie rides at the fair!

We have limited land/space being that Cedar Point is on a Peninsula! Thus, the reason for shorter ride time.

Leviathan will be different with a 4 seat across configuration as well. Should be pretty cool!

Just had one of these....

Amazing! Dare I say - maybe better than PB cups!

Does it mean you can have 5 of them?

Trust me - I could eat 5 of them no problem!

Told family this and DW says "I think the leg wanted to go to WDW so it hopped over to that line to be cut off and then the turkey went back in the line to get wrapped and frozen"
