DIS Dads DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

Dads of the DIS talk about life, bacon, Disney, bacon, kids, bacon, cars, bacon, family life, and lots of other fun stuff! And beer. And bacon.
What his name? Palpatine? I thought he was cool shooting lightening out of his hands. Too bad about thay ugly face thing though - tough to pick up the ladies.
If he turned down the voltage on his hands, I think he would have done fine. Plus he was rich as f.....
I will be stuck with the mutt I didn't want for the night. I think we are ordering out and having pizza and beer. Guys night.
Sounds ruff. I thank yooooooooo......:sad2:
Licking a flagpole? Is that more British slang for something else?
Only if it's at full mast.
I am curious, are you going out or staying home for New Year's Eve?
In. With Friends. Getting hammered. And then in with the Americans next door on NYD for polite hungover conversation.
You really are Marvin the martian if you think that would be strolling weather. :eek:
Not to mention the fact he has an Illudium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator. Oh, I may not know my Star Wars, but my WB knowledge is sound.
My dog (years ago) loved beer!
Funny name for a dog.....

Mexican food and then Paddington 2 at the flicks for us today. Plastic Tsunami is 80% conquered, had to go and buy new shelves for all the stuff.
Have a good afternoon, compadres.
 
Morning, folks.
Warmed up quite a bit. -2F/-19C now. Pleasant strolling weather.

Damn!

Guys night. I’m surprised the dog drinks beer. Not surprised about the pizza though.

Long time boozer. The good thing is he is a happy drunk.

And no, the dog does not get beer. Bet he would enjoy it though.

Can someone tell me why didn't we go to Florida for Christmas?

We're full?

Didn't realize Fort Lauderdale was such a long drive. ;)

I live in South Dade and it takes about 30-45 minutes depending on the traffic.

PP is only driving to Ft Lauderdale. But she is talking to her professor and coordinating her project IN S. America... It's like N. America, only South...

The professor teaches 1 day a week and since they are on break, she suggested she stay overnight at her house and talk about the project. Earlier this year, as part of her class, the Cousteau Society asked them to submit proposals to improve a nature preserve in Nicaragua. The Pirate Princess' proposal was chosen. They gave her $4,000 to implement it. The good news is she gets to go to Nicaragua 1 or 2 times, the bad news is that it is kind of a big deal and she wants it to go well.

I am curious, are you going out or staying home for New Year's Eve?

Jodi and I will be staying home and streaming this...

We never (well almost never) go out because we don't want to be out with the drunks, so this is a GREAT alternative. Thanks Randall!!!

We pretty much always stay in, sometimes have friends over. Come on up if you want.

The days of going out on NYE are long gone. I will be joining you and Jodi watching the live stream.

Because we're too stupid.

No comment.

Depends.
I'll be working until about 11pm on the 31st and then have to get up at 5am on the 1st to get back to work.
So... technically I'll be out on NYE, but home by midnight... hopefully asleep.

You work too hard.
 

OK, I have to ask. What is the Plastic Tsunami?
All the curly haired Ninja's presents mate. They came in a wave of 2 days of plastic Barbie/Doll house/Little Pony etc etc from my parents and the in laws. When are you heading up?

We'll be spending the evening at a little gathering at one of the better area Pubs...
(and the beer is unlimited and was included with the price of admission)

The only down side being that I have to be up and at work in the morning.
(but they didn't say I couldn't be nursing a wee bit of a hang-over once I get there.)

Pizza and beer sounds like a great plan.

Because our wives won't let us.

That clears it right up.
 
Happy Thursday. Had to go in for a few hours of work which turned into a lot more hours. Back to vacation mode.

Only if it's at full mast.

Funny name for a dog.....

:lmao::rotfl::lmao: on both.

Will that be enough for the project? Or, do you have to fund any?

Ah yes, the house full of naked Barbie's.

yesterday I kicked a penguin

?

Canadian penguins. That army keeps mobilizing.

Got it. At that age, mine was more into stuffed animals than dolls. She had bunk beds and the top bed was full of the buggers, almost to the roof.

Was going to leave on Tuesday but she has a friend flying in at about 1:00 am on Wednesday that she isn't going to see for a while. She wants to pick her up and go out for a bit. That means she will be useless driving up. Her logic, "Well, we won't need a hotel Tuesday night."

Nope. Hell hasn't frozen over yet.

Close, though.

I would say it has.

No beer? More of a gin and tonic kind of pooch?

Single barrel Bourbon.

yesterday I kicked a penguin.

Careful, they fight back. So Randall tells me.

Don't we all?

Not me lately.

Sounds fun, wish I could join you.

Not a penny, travel will be part of the budget. I will probably get stuck watching the mutt I didn't want though.

Don't mock them. While you're sitting there oohing and awwwing at all the cuteness... they strike.

Single barrel Bourbon.

Gotcha.

Careful, they fight back. So Randall tells me.

::yes:: See above.
But I'm Canadian. I can get away with it.
Penguin: "Hey look! A Canadian! They're really polite!"
Me: <kick!>
Penguin: "Did that just happen??"

Not me lately.

Okay. Everyone but you.
 
Morning Boys from a rainy London. The kids are going to Panto today with my mum, so we were going to Borough market, which is a foodie hotspot, but it all open air, so the rain has pretty much nixed that. Coming up with a Plan B right now.

Ah yes, the house full of naked Barbie's.
Why do they do this? I didn't have sisters, so this is completely alien to me. I mean, I get why ladies are much more fun to play with without accoutrements, but they just get de-clothed and left on the floor. This seems less than chivalrous.
Me: <kick!>
Penguin: "Did that just happen??"
Or if it's a Canadian Penguin - "Sorry. My body may have hurt your foot."
She had bunk beds and the top bed was full of the buggers, almost to the roof.
We bought these great empty bean bags from a website that you fill with stuffed animals they don't play with anymore. The kids are sitting on them right now.
Was going to leave on Tuesday
Nice one. I'll look out for you on the FB updates.

Hmm.... you do know we actually do this, right? If you step on my foot, I will automatically say "sorry".
Remember, you're talking to a Brit. We built an empire on apologising.
What's Panto?
It's a Theatre production that is loosely based on a kids story like Jack and the Beanstalk or Beauty and the Beast. The common thread it has to have a Dame, which is a bloke dressed in the secondary female character. All good cross dressing fun for the family. Often the gender roles are swapped through the production. Its all very camp and fun. I hate it.
Morning gents. -30C/-22F right now.

Summer will eventually get here, right?
Man, that's chilly. Summer is just round the corner. I think.
 
Okay. Everyone but you.
And me
I'm right there with ya CJ. Even though we don't have negative numbers (especially on Celsius scale), I would be okay being physically right there with you and Miami temps now.
