The Angry Birds Star Wars is really fun.

Agree. Only played a couple levels so far, but I like it. Wondering if it's better on the iPad than iPhone.

I'm done with it so far. I need to try and get more stars, but you have to pay more for Dagobah and the Hoth system is coming soon. It is bigger on the iPad, that's about it.

Congrats on post 500, but you missed ownage by a few posts.

When it says coming soon, I think that usually means in about 6 months.

Welcome. Dues are payable in beer, bacon, dole whips, or cake. That Brat Tail sounds great. While I am not a runner, there are some runners on here who do the Disney races. This is a completely off topic thread, so jump in and hang on for the ride.

Thanks AirGoofy! I'm lovin the dues system you have set up. Can I pay with that chocolate sheet cake from Costco with the chocolate mousse filling? I'll add strips of bacon to the top (from Costco of course...) if it increases the value.

Glad everyone is safe. Hopefully the repairs won't be too bad.

Last year, I had a close call down the street from my house. Almost ran into a doe. Had my DS in the car. The doe jumped over the front end of my car. Must have been 4 feet up. Didn't know they could jump that high.

D'oh! A deer! A female deer!

Ummmmmm, I don't get it. What do you mean I missed it? It said 500, I swear it did. Do I have to go back and do it again? Maybe I could own something else? Awwwwwwww.

It will be sooner than 6 month. They need to boost revenue for the holiday season. They are letting you get hooked and then they plan to unleash their diabolical plan to conquer the universe!

Welcome to the club! Great name.

Thanks! Ran my first Tough Mudder about a month ago. Before that it was mostly just running races. It was an intense but rewarding experience. The electroshock was worse than I expected... I dang near blacked out on my second one before I crawled out. Had a great team... that was the key - they pulled me through alot.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

That sounds great. Just don't put it in the mail. There must be something wrong with my mailbox because all the bills arrive, but no dues or anything else mentioned by these guys on here.

Howdy everybody.... I've used these forums from time to time, but thought I would officially join DISDADS. I'm a bit of a West Coaster, so DLR is home to me, but we are getting closer to our first trip to WDW in almost 10 years - we're doing a 4 night Disney Cruise followed by 5 days at WDW in early February 2013. Staying at POP. Can't. Hardly. Wait.

Here's some info about me:

Real Name: Andy
Location: Cedar Hills, UT (halfway between Salt Lake and Provo)
Family Situation: Married for 13 years. Four children - DD11, DS9, DD6 and DS almost 4... a/k/a The Hulk
Occupation: Financial Analyst for Software company
Pets: we had a fish for about a week...
Favorite Food: Thai and Indian... plus authentic Italian-style thin crust pizza. Oh and a local college favorite called a "Brat Tail" - basically a 16 inch maple bar doughnut split in two and serves as a bun to hold a bratwurst
Favorite Drink: Dr Pepper Ten... with crushed ice
Hobbies: I love to run... someday I dream of doing the Goofy. Besides Disney theme parks I love rollercoasters... and travel whenever I can to try new ones.

I'm glad to be here!

Welcome to the Club!

Ummm...is there a story behind "we had a fish for about a week..."? And does it end in tarter sauce?

I may have told a subordinate to F off today. Long story to a long day.

We'e got time. Go ahead and share.

Today - running around town then Epcot tonight. Sat - DTD and MK than the race. Sun - Epcot.

Good luck on the race!

Sorry it was a rough day. I usually speak in code to avoid getting in trouble that way. My buddies know I like to reference Tom Hanks' knock-knock joke from the movie Catch Me If You Can. So if someone's getting on my nerves and I say, "Do you want to hear me tell a joke?" they know where I'm going with it.

I love that joke!

Rough night last night. We were out having dinnner with friends and driving them back home on a dark country road when I ended up hitting a deer in the road. It was a big buck, too. I hit the brakes and swerved to the right at the last second, and for some reason he moved forward into our path. Anyway, he hit the front headlight on the driver's side, and then bounced around and put a nice dent in the driver-side passenger door on the van, too. And I think the frame is slightly bent because the driver door scrapes against something every time I open it now. I'm sure this will be a fun repair bill.

Anyway, the important thing is that it was still driveable and nobody got hurt. Well, except the deer. We never found him, though.

I can tell you why. Because deer are stupid.

Glad no one got hurt.

Kentucky has a hockey team?????

I wonder if it is a club team. I see Purdue on there and hockey is a club sport at Purdue.

Dude, I didn't even know there were words in that picture until you pointed them out.

D'oh! A deer! A female deer!

I've got to ask - with a name like "electroshock", just how tame did you expect it to be?

No, you were right about the 500 post part. Ownage is the first post on a page though, and that post was in the middle of a page.

ETA: See, in this case, Barry has ownage. ^^^

Forget the universe. They need to start with the tri-state area.

I was referring to your real name... but yeah, that one's good too.

Happy birthday MiJo!

Repair bill? Let the insurance people take care of it. Hopefully the deer had insurance.

haha... makes sense now, Andy.

You probably didn't need the Tough Mudder primer as well.

Forgive my newness... it takes me awhile.

Hope everyone has a good Friday! Going to lunch with Paul today. I look forward to putting a face with the postings.

Looking forward to lunch... My face isn't quite as offensive as my postings, for reference...

I've got to ask - with a name like "electroshock", just how tame did you expect it to be?

I had no idea what to expect, to be honest... it scared the crap out of me - but I figured it was the last obstacle in the race, so by that point I'd be so happy the rest was behind me, I'd run through, get a couple of shocks, and you know... "no big whoop"

This isn't me... but 0:07 is a good indicator of pretty much what happened:

Why would anyone subject themselves to this type of torture? I'm still asking myself that question... but hey, at least I got a sweet orange headband out of it!

 

[DisneyDadC]

Wow Up until now I just realized I only had 7 posts in this thread.Now I have 8





Guess I need to chat more.

Well, having seen what you willingly subject yourself to, it is clear that your absolutely nuts.

You seem like you should fit in well around here.

Which one did he have? Deerco, ForestWide

What's for lunch?

Eventually...

Actually, I've been to Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the month of May enough times over the last few years where I've seen her up close and in person, so the pictures are just a little bit of a let down.

She likes to wear those dresses. Looks good on TV. You couldn't get pictures?

What a beautiful Friday!!!!
