DIS Dads DDC XXXIII: Bad Idea Factory!!!

[AirGoofy]

Back home from tennis tonight ownage. Sitting here with ice bags on my knee and foot. I guess this will be the new way of life for awhile. Still, it's not really the shooting pain from the tear, just the soreness from being so overweight.

Does one need to see Sharknado 1 in order to appreciate Sharknado 2? Just curious...

Shark. Tornado. You're caught up.

Did I ever tell you the one about the blind skunk that fell in love with a fart?

Did her true love up and vanish in the wind?

Back from the promised land (WDW) and now I'm paying the price, I was supposed to go back to work this past Mon, but after getting a call from my boss while waiting to get on 7 Dwarfs Mine Train

You took a work call while at WDW? That's dedication. I avoid taking work calls when the phone rings in my office.

Hmmm

We've never closed out a thread with fart jokes...

What's that sound? Did somebody step on a duck? Will it be a closing, or can we carry that title to the next thread?

A good crutch to the head could win us the title

There you go. I'm sure lots of people would pay lots of money for tickets to see us tag team wrestle. You be the one who gets beat up in the ring for 5 minutes, then crawl to me, tag me in, and I knock them out in 3 seconds with the crutch.

2 days of vacation tomorrow and Friday followed by BIG cookout on Saturday.

My girls got their teachers and found out who all is in whom's class. All appear happy, including DW.

Norm, sounds like you're going to have an ice pack deficit soon. There are some good DIY ice pack recipes if you want to make your own. They work exceptionally well.

Never a fan of Shark Weak, but I am now officially done with it. There may be a couple of programs that are legitimate and informative but by far, they are overly staged, overly dramatic, terribly acted and in most cases present lies as fact simply for titillation.

Watched part of “Lair of the Mega Shark” and it was awful. To paraphrase one scene... Ominous Voice: We lowered the cage and immediately three great whites appeared. One circled the cage to “probe for weaknesses.” Probe for weaknesses? Crap, Crap, Crap. You know they chummed for days, were lucky to get three great whites together, dumped the cage in the water and filmed one shark swimming near the cage. “Zombie Sharks” was nothing more than preventing a shark from swimming so water and hence oxygen stops flowing over their gills. Have someone put you in a choke hold and you will become a zombie.

These programs do a lot of harm. Shark Bad-Must Kill. Ask Peter Benchley his feelings now about shark decimation following Jaws.

Miami Beach is in the background of this picture taken during one of DD’s trips. They caught nine sharks that day so yes, they are just offshore. However, you have more of a chance getting killed by a cow trampling you than getting bitten by a shark. (True fact)

Good morning guys!

 

[RodBelding]

Morning guys.

Shark. Tornado. You're caught up.

Dude, maybe a spoiler-alert next time? Jeez...

However, you have more of a chance getting killed by a cow trampling you than getting bitten by a shark. (True fact)

Great. Another animal to be terrified of.

Back from the promised land (WDW) and now I'm paying the price, I was supposed to go back to work this past Mon, but after getting a call from my boss while waiting to get on 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Thrus telling me I had to come in on Sun for 8 hrs because the place was a mess, well I was going to be home and I could use the few hundred to pay for our MVMCP ticks when we go in Dec, after a few days catching up my back is not feeling all that great, then today since it was raining this morning I got the great idea of starting to do per go flooring in the ManCave, OK so this was something for me, but my knees and back are hurting pretty bad, I got about 2/3 done, if i'm not in traction fri night after I will do more, the thing that really sucks is that I only get 1 day a week off so now it's till next Weds, before I'm off again The only thing keeping me going now is our Nov trip

I thought that was why they invented caller id? Nothing like a work phone call to be a downer before a ride on the mine train. Good luck with the knee and back pain. Take some good pain meds, use some ice and try not to ruin the weekend by over doing it on Friday.

I never saw the first one and I have the feeling I don't need to.

I have a feeling I don't need to see either one, but curiosity will probably get the best of me at some point.

I do enjoy shark week and still plan to watch some of the shows. But I do take it with a grain of salt. Especially after their Megalodon mockumentary last year. I do like the fact that they have some great quality video footage of some impressive animals that we might not otherwise get a chance to see.

I know what you mean about their over dramatization and being a little bit less than credible, but I do like some of the things they do. I thought the whole submarine with cameras that follows the shark into the depths was a great concept. Until I started thinking... won't a submarine following a shark about 20' behind it likely change its normal behavior? Well, that question got answered by about the third time the submarine was attacked.

Watching Sharknado 2. Holy cow this is awesome. As soon as I saw Ted Stryker, I was hooked.

I watched some of it as well. These movies were totally gypped at the Oscars.

Great. Another animal to be terrified of.

‘Morning all…

You took a work call while at WDW? That's dedication. I avoid taking work calls when the phone rings in my office.

I’ve been called at least once during all of our last three trips to WDW, and our last trip to the beach for that matter.
Not taking the call is not an option.
Any wonder I don’t much like the job?

What's that sound? Did somebody step on a duck? Will it be a closing, or can we carry that title to the next thread?

DDC XXXIV - Did Somebody Step on a Duck?
I like the sound of that one.

I’m with you. It gets ratings, but teaches nothing.
We already do a good job of teaching nothing… no sense in also sensationalizing the fact.


Nice picture by the way; interesting point of view.

Morning David! Happy Thursday all, today is another meeting day. Nothing but fun around here, let me tell you.

Thursday you say? Thanks for the heads up, I can no longer tell what day it is.
They all just seem to run into one and other.

Morning guys...

Sound like a good plan. Hope y’all have fun getting out and about.

Have seen a couple of the Riplie’s aquariums; a bit pricy for their size but entertaining outings. We use to have a Spaghetti factory near us as well, but it shut down long ago. I figured the whole chain failed, but apparently it just couldn’t make a go of it in our area. Odd…

There's still about a dozen of them across Canada.

Always busy when ever I've gone.

I've been to the one in Vancouver, Edmonton, and Toronto (many times).

We have one in Indy as well.

Looks like fun. Can I go?

All I see is a black box with a white X in it. What am I missing here?

 

[Cynergy]

No joke my brother came around a corner of back country road when we were younger and hit a cow. Totaled his car. He jokes that the cow just jumped right out in front of him.

The site must be blocked where you are.
Picture this…

Three punks sitting in a relatively small indoor hot tub that they’ve “converted” into a whirlpool by also submerging the business end of a good sized gasoline powered outboard motor…
near where their feet are…

So you're telling me that cows have freakish leaping ability as well as being bloodthirsty for humans???

Oh you went and done it now....

I think they're doing far more to hurt awareness with some of those shows than help it. Those of us (like you and me) who live on/near the beach are well aware there are sharks in the water, and some of them nearby.

It always seems like the media is shocked, SHOCKED I SAY, when there's a bite...

Personally I'm more surprised that it doesn't happen MORE OFTEN than it does already.

I like the sound of that one.

I like the sound of it too. I wear crocs year round (in the snow I wear 2 pairs of socks). Wjen my feet get wet I tend to "quack" whem I walk in them. Lol.
