DIS Dads DDC XXI - Passing Time Until Our Next Trip

[wasnotafan]

Bodies?

No bodies at home they would be at work. Just old DVD players, clothes, computer games that SWMBO has forgotten about.

Morning Guys,
My parents are taking the kids for the weekend. Only downside is I work all weekend.

Less for a couple of days? Not as good as if you have the time off but it is something.

Just keep slithering

Nice sunsets

Arrrrg

Fun trip. Not Disney related but hope you enjoy the pics.

Like the last two. The snake is another reason you won't get me more than 6 feet below the surface.

Rough hockey game last night. We won 8-2, but I got the heck knocked out of me. On one shift, I actually drew 6 minutes in penalties against the other team for slashing and cross-checking - all within the span of 30 seconds. The ref even commented that I got beaten up pretty good on that shift.
...

Ouch. That is rough for a non-checking league. My nephew plays hockey but is starting to reach the point where the teams have an official goon. It will probably be his last year or two though he may switch to being a ref.

Great pictures! What is this one?

Evil incarnate. There are two kinds of snakes. Live and dead. Dead are the only good kind.

Maybe it should be "Single chicks dig scars."

Married chicks just want you healthy enough to help out with the kids, lawn care and automotive maintenance.

You forgot going to work!

I kill goose all the time, but they are Grey and that's something completely different.

One of my favourite World Showcase stops.

My wife and father-in-law would agree with you.

I would dissuade him from reffing. The verbal abuse is pretty bad.

A line I heard last night (not from my team):

"Hey ref, does your wife know you're ----ing us tonight?"

 

[ClearScreen]

True.

It's funny, I know guys whose wives view them as sperm donors with a paycheck.

Snakes...why'd it have to be snakes. I'd only be comfy around then providing I know poisonous from non poisonous.

My brother fought more then scored...so they gave him sweater 99 as a joke.

That doesn't fit on a t-shirt quite as well...

If I could picture anyone saying that right before they did it....it'd be you.

It's always good to be prepared.

You should check out the movie "Goon" if you haven't already. Definitely worth a rental. Some good laughs and good lines.

A buddy of my bro's got pretty far in reffing, no idea why he dropped out, I suspect that might have been it. Got as far as the AHL/IHL looked to make it to NHL, then quit. My brother went on a road trip with him once, had a blast.

That's awesome, but reffing is a dangerous proposition even in the NHL.

I had a coach in high school named Pat Dapuzzo who became a linesman in the NHL for 24 years. You may remember this. His career was ended when he got hit in the face with a skate:

Any Dads out there who go all "Boy in the Plastic Bubble" or "Running Scared" right before a Disney trip?

Tough league Chris. Maybe you guys should call up the Hanson Brothers.

No. You can still do Disney in a wheelchair!

Really, you just have to do your thing. You play all the time, so it isn't like you're taking some extraordinary risk by getting out there.

But this is coming from the guy who "played basketball all the time" and ended up in a walking boot for my wedding. So that that for whatever it's worth.

Did the boot color match the Tux?

I did do Disney on a walker once. Got out of the hospital in January 2011 and went on a solo trip to Disney that March. Not recommended but it can be done.

That was funny.

Awesome pics...

Is there a hidden Mickey in this one?

NEVER NOTICED THAT. Has to go on the wall now. But do I put it with the diving pics or the Disney ones? Decisions, decisions.

Great pictures! What is this one?

That is a juvenile spotted eel. Probably a teenager in eel years. It will eventually grow to the size of the green one in the next pic or even larger. Unless you mess with them, they leave you alone.

Tried to find a video someone sent me to show you this idiot feeding an eel and teasing it. The eel latched onto his finger and snapped it. You could clearly hear the crack as the eel broke it. Quite funny actually. Dumb a$$.

What is it and how bad can it hurt?

It is called Fire Coral and is named that for a reason. I barely brushed against a piece once accidentally and it hurts. Not as in how bad can a bee sting hurt, but MY GOD WHO POURED ACID ON MY SKIN hurt. You will live but it will remind you how stupid you were to touch it for a couple of hours.

Put it this way, if you touched Fire Coral, it would be a tragedy. If Tim touched it, it would be comedy.

 

[Goofy + 3]

Has anybody seen my free time? I seem to have misplaced it. I can barely find time to read a post or two on the Dis. Too much work. Hope all is well with you guys. All is well here.

I'd like to point out one thing I got to experience on my vacation to almost-Canada last week. On one of the days (July 22 I think) I went to the Can-Am festival in Sacket's Harbor, NY. According to the article in the paper up there, it was a festival celebrating the friendship between Canada and the US. I couldn't help but think of you guys when I read that. I know they may talk a little funny and some of their words are spelled wrong, but deep down they're good folk. Plus they gave us hockey and judging by some of the posts I just read, we like hockey too.

As one of the events for the festival, they played an Old-Timey Baseball game complete with old-timey uniforms. There is apparently a whole league for this. Did you know that back in the late 1800's you could catch a ball on a bounce and it would still be an out? Also, catching a foul tip resulted in an out, if an ump wasn't sure on a call they would get help from the crowd, no leading off and you can't over-run first base. Lots of other rules too. Oh and no gloves. But the ball was kind of mushy and halfway between a baseball and softball in size.

And the taxes. Can't forget that one.

I remember hearing his name on NHL broadcasts. That's pretty cool.

Can you find some to send to middlepat?

Looks like CJ took it all.

 

[RodBelding]

Hey guys. Hope everyone's doing well today. Missed about 5 pages since last night, and way too lazy to catch up, so if I missed anything; or or depending on what it was.

Did he also take my disposable income? I can't find that anywhere and there's a weekend coming up!

Excellent explanation!

I've seen some articles on those leagues. But they use the original name: Base Ball. (Two words). Authentic wool uniforms and huge, heavy bats. I think it'd be fun to take in a game sometime.

 

[Twin Dad]

Hmmm..that doesn't really work out, does it?

Not really but I do get to nap in a quiet house. Trying to get DW to make a decision about what to do with the free time. If she doesn't make up her mind I might go play 18.

Got off the phone with my buddy from the UK and we were thinking about our next dive vacation. It naturally turned to the Roatan trip we took earlier in the year. Decided to look through some pics from that trip and post a few.

Great pics.

They showed one of these games on ESPN Classic a few years back. They changed the rules in the 1880s I believe to eliminate the one bounce rule. It is very cool to watch. One of the big differences was the umpire stood off to the side when calling balls and strikes. If you guys get a change, go see one of these games. Its very cool.

Honest and Lazy. Not sure what that qualifies you for.

And be the baby daddy.

Absolutely. : lemon.

The soccer and softball leagues I have reffed weren't bad. Now, I just ref the kids soccer games mostly. Every now and then, I'll hear something stupid from a parent or coach, but I rarely pay attention to them. I never heard that line though. I would probably laugh at it.

 

[cj9200]

Been pretty bored lately. Since getting back from vacation, I only had to write one proposal for a client and that one was easy. Glad the Olympics are on to distract me. Currently watching horses prance around.

Excellent explanation!

Thought you would like that.
