DIS Dads DDC XXVII: Penguins in Paradise!

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Evening guys,

We had our Middle School JV Boys District championships today and here are two of the happy winners..

The boys played amazing in the final, totally dominating in a 64-15 win All the boys except one found the scoresheet, DS chipped in with 4 points and 5 boards.

One good thing about the final was both of the schools are feeder schools for the same high school so the future is looking bright for that school.

Congrats!

There is little else that will make you bust out in uncontrollable happy quite as effectively as seeing your kids earn the right to smile that big.

The boys done good (and so did you sir).

I've been doing the online approach, not too much is closed up so far, pretty much BOG. Weird

Called and was able to get reservations at most times we wanted without much trouble. I told the CM that I was not able to get reservations online and she looked into the ressie and said that there was a problem with our registration. It was showing August dates, but the system was reading April for reservations. So I guess the computer was showing it was not in our ressie window. Glad we figured it out. She sent a note to tech support to have it fixed.

BOG was still booked. It seems they are just telling everyone to do CS at lunch.

Thanks guys, I feel better now.

My son called to tell us he's scheduled for his 3rd year crew member flight in the #7 jet on Saturday! If these budget cuts mess this up, I'll really be annoyed!

I'm not sure what that means but I think it is good. Congrats to your son.

It’s about as accurate a depiction of my home as “Great White North” is of yours.






Nope…

Are you a fungi?

Anybody else see the Simpson's episode where Mr. Burns explains the fiscal cliff?

"Think of the economy as a car, and the rich man as the driver. If you don't give the driver all the money, he'll drive you over a cliff."


Good stuff.

Congratulations!!! Seeing the look on his face and knowing the pride that you have in your heart makes me proud of both of you!

What?
Y’all thought that “Duck Dynasty” was an accurate portrayal of life in the South?

I don't think it would be fair to compare Duck Dynasty (from LA thats deep cajan south) to you in SC, although I could see Lizard Lick Towing more your area

Are you a fungi?

Yup...
Especially when I’m anywhere on Disney property.


The reference was to my employers
(the folks that are the cause of that black hole I was originally discussing)…

They’re also rather fond of keeping me in the dark and cover in $#!&.

It seems like that is what is happening. I am for the ability to work hard and earn money, but this income disparity thing is just over the top. The government gives tax subsidies, they can hire more lawyers and pay a lower tax rate than me and raise the cost of their goods to make more profits. Dave Ramsey in his new book talks about making a great income and then paying the people that work with him a great salary. But, I guess I get a some back in my mutual funds. I don't think it needs to be taxed away to the government, but employees and shareholders rewarded. But, that can't be legislated.

I found out the hard way that these boards are like antibiotics in that you can't miss a day. And they also have nasty side effects.

When mine get's to dating age, I'm sure a rapunzel tower won't seem like a bad idea.

Short trip to disney >> no trip to Disney.

The tower didn't seem to stop Ryder. As for the trip, I would pass on that short a trip for a longer one later in the year.

Sorry to hear BOG was booked, but glad you got the others. I always call for that one restating I definitely want, but after that, do the rest online.

Duck Dynasty, Lizard Lick, Buckwild, Jersey Shore, the fact that Donald Trump even exists…

They’re all pretty much the same delusion.

OK, so I have been trying to book ADR reservations for the end of August and nothing is available unless you want dinner at either 3PM or 9PM. I started at 190 days out as they allowed me to do it due to the reservation. REALLY Disney? This is getting to be a pain in the a$$. The crowd calendars show 4-6 for that time. Can there really be that many people eating all day?!

So far we have only a few (subject to change):

Le Cellier
Prime Time Cafe
Akershus
Ohana (Breakfast)

I'm thinking we may just scrap the meal plan and go OOP, eat a good breakfast and CS dinner if nothing is available. It seems like I am planning our days specifically around the meals. Too stressful. We like to not plan every little thing.

OK, whining over. Everyone have a good week!

Ouch. I think I'll call when my 180 days rolls around.

Wait a second....are you sure you're an engineer? Because you're advocating actually talking to a person rather than doing it all through computers. WHAT DID BRAIN DO TO YOU DURING LUNCH LAST WEEK?!?!

Little good news/bad news. Took the minivan of doom in for it's annual emissions check last week. (Luckily they only test the emissions of the vehicle, not the owner.) But alas, it failed. Took it to my repair guy (who strangely goes by the name "Q") Anyway, Q wasn't in on Saturday so his underling looked at it. Said the Check Engine light was not coming on during ignition. Could be a burned out bulb, could be a shot computer - $$$$$$$$$$ (if you get my drift)
Luckily, Q figured out that it was just a bad bulb, which caused the emissions test failure. Basically - if the bulb doesn't come on, the computer fails its self test and it fails the emissions test. So he going to replace the bulb, reset the computer and the internal combustion engine should be as clean as the day I bought it.

The rocket fuel exhaust on the other hand....

Glad to hear it was just a light.

Missed where you posted that one at first…
Nice turn of phrase.


It may not be in exactly the right format for a Man Law,
But it would sure make a dang fine motto.

Whoa....wait...wait wait. There's basketball in Canada? When did this happen?
I thought there was just hockey, curling and Canadian Rules Football.

I found Lizard Lick Towing when I was at the gym. It was my guilty pleasure. Then when I cancelled my membership (to save money not b\c I was a sloth) I quit watching. I refused to burn any cycles of free time on that show.

He's got a dream
He's got a dream
See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem

Though I do like breaking femurs
You can count me with the dreamers
Like everybody else, I've got a dream

Thank you for getting that stuck in my head

Hot Damn! Seton Hall 66 Villanova 65. Down by two with ten seconds to go, they steal the ball and then hit a three. Last second Nova shot is short. Not a big deal in the NCAA basketball scheme of things but broke a huge losing streak. Celebration in South Orange.
