Ok, all caught up and really enjoying the TR! What on earth was your daughter building with legos that's related to Office Space?

And, I read the inbetweenstuff. An office building. Very clever, all I could think of was a fax machine or stapler.

Stayin' alive! Stayin' alive!
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
Stayin' aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!!!

little known fact. when administering CPR. do it to the beat of "stayin alive stayin alive" after doing this chorus 3 times, do the breathing thing.

You are too good for page 3. Looking forward to another update.

Aw. Thanks!

Stayin' alive! Stayin' alive!
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
Stayin' aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!!!

I had to do something. Thanks for the bump!

Just read your report. I was hooked when you told your friend to "just put oven mitts on when you pick up the dog ..."

Then I saw the photo of Mr. Squid and the squirrel - and the gloves. Hmmmnnn, maybe they really do use oven mitts to pick up the dog ...

Looking forward to more updates.

I haven't had to use oven mitts yet but our dog can get *****y. (Ha! Good one.)

Hi! Joining in and going back to catch up now

Great! Thanks!

She likes to build office space, as in cubicles, conference rooms, boss's office.

And, I read the inbetweenstuff. An office building. Very clever, all I could think of was a fax machine or stapler.

The funny thing is that it's the inside of an office building.

little known fact. when administering CPR. do it to the beat of "stayin alive stayin alive" after doing this chorus 3 times, do the breathing thing.

Duly noted.

Great Update - love the part about the contaminated glow cube - something for me to obsess over in July - thanks !

It's funny you should talk about the Playboy club - why you ask - or maybe you don't - but I am gonna tell you anyway! The other day at work a few of my coworkers were discussing their childhood memories of going to ballgames with their dad, etc... I chimed in with mine - going to the Playboy Club in Vernon Valley NJ (which is now a ski resort I think) with my dad. I was around the age that I knew I wanted to be "able" to wear those costumes when I grew up (still waiting to grow up) and that I wanted to be a Bunny too! My father was less than thrilled to say the least. Well of course my coworkers thought I was crazy, but the guys were definitely jealous - they would have traded those ballgames for bunnies in a heartbeat!

 

[Thumper_Man's Wife]

Just sneaking in the back to say I'm here

...aaaannnnddddd now i'm gonna go back to catching up

.

Too many TR's, so little time at work...I mean...So little time to catch up...Yeah.

So sorry to ponder the glow cube. Maybe they sterilize them!

Weren't the bunnies the coolest? I know it's not a very feminist thing to say but at the time I thought they were pretty glamorous.

Hi TMW! So glad you're here. And isn't it considerate of me not to load this trip report with Mickey Mouse pictures so that you won't look too conspicuous at work, I mean home?

I keep checking back everyday. I want another update please. I love your writing style.

Wow! I'm so flattered! I hope to have something by the end of the week. It's a little busy at work. Feel free to chime in!

Hello Everybody,

Laura told me she was writing a blog about our last Disney trip and asked how I wanted to be referred as. I said “They Call Me Mister Tibbs!” ... but something was lost in the translation.

I had no idea how funny Laura’s blogging could be and how many folks would be following along. I know she’s witty, but like the “quiet talker” Seinfeld episode, only a portion of what she utters is audible.

Laura said in the beginning that we don’t drive our car to the airport because we’re afraid it will break down en route, but the real reason we have everybody driving us around is because we have no sense of direction. Even if we make it into the airport’s parking lot, there’s still a chance we could be lost long enough to miss our flight. On our first Disney trip, we stayed outside the resorts and lost the car (in the parking lot) TWICE. Disney has some sort of system that narrows down your car’s location if you can tell them what time you arrived.

Yes, our small dog, Matisse, requires oven mitts to be moved. The dog groomer asked me how often I brush her teeth. HAH!

Laura left off with our second night and wants me to add my memories of the Magic Kingdom that Monkston & I visited after dinner, but like Dory, the lovable fish, I remember nuthin’. Or certainly not in enough detail to break down what happened that particular evening. It all sort of blends. I know we headed for the Tomorrowland Speedway a few times. Monkston steers. It will be a sad day for me when she can reach the gas pedal herself.

With her's and Ponzi's threads, it's just as important to be edible with all the recipes.

Hey SquirrelMan, great to meet you,,, got yourself a heck of a little writer there, been keeping us laughing for some time now!

That trick with the Cheetohs and the ducks,,,,
can you do that with Laura as well? THAT, would make a great little video!

I guess this isn't the most appropriate place to break this to you, but you're hard of hearing. Your family and friends have been shouting at you for years and sometimes it gets a little tiring.

Laura said in the beginning that we don’t drive our car to the airport because we’re afraid it will break down en route, but the real reason we have everybody driving us around is because we have no sense of direction.

Who's we Kemo Sabe?

Oh yeah. But you were driving.

Just the quality I need for help with my trip report. Make it up. Exaggerate! Nebo and Ponzi do it all the time!

Yes. Sigh.

Incidentally, my hearing is ridiculously keen. if The Avengers needed somebody, with really good hearing ... and the Earth didn't need saving till after 10:00AM ... and I could grab a quick nap at 3:00PM .... I would BE an Avenger.

I have some movies queue up, but I guess I'm not allowed to post movies/images until after by 10th post. I'll work on getting Laura to dance with squirrels (was that the assignment?).

Gasp! I'm shocked! Ponzi, say it ain't so, you wouldn't really zaggerate would you?

 

[mmeb144]

Is this the newest movie in a series? Dances with Squirrels? I thought that was you...

 

[nebo]

Um, actually, no. Just see if you can get Laura to dance and sway back and forth holding a bag of Cheetohs like you did with the ducks, I'm sure she won't mind!

Another husband and wife team, AWESOME

Hi Laura!

Can't remember if I posted yet, but I've been reading along after your "marketing" on Ponzi's report. Great stuff!! Love Mr. Squid and the squirrel. A mother squirrel left a baby in our neighborhood when I was around 8 or 9. My brother decided to "adopt" it and Squirrely (original, wasn't he??) would crawl up his arms and back too. My brother built it an elaborate screen house with blankets, but the squirrel was too young to know that it should get under them in the cold and unfortunately, Squirrely didn't make it. Your pictures reminded me of the ones of my brother.

My boys love the Speedway - but my oldest son is really tall and could reach the pedals last trip...he was SIX! He did have to scooch way up on the seat, but he could reach. I made my husband ride with him!

Everything I say is the unadulterated, 100% honest truth.

Really.

Honestly.

Just like Nebo... only maybe even more so.

And to the DIS Mr. Squid

Everyone will be flocking to see that movie.

I'm not the one that befriends squirrels.

Um, actually, no. Just see if you can get Laura to dance and sway back and forth holding a bag of Cheetohs like you did with the ducks, I'm sure she won't mind!

I think it will take more than Cheetos.

Squirrely is about as original as Fearless. Mr. Squid had a lot of very original names for his pets like Blackie and Kittens.

My boys love the Speedway - but my oldest son is really tall and could reach the pedals last trip...he was SIX! He did have to scooch way up on the seat, but he could reach. I made my husband ride with him!

That's Mr. Squid's and Monkston's traditional ride together. I don't enjoy the fumes.

Everything I say is the unadulterated, 100% honest truth.

Yes, I think you guys are equally honest.
