I'd like to thank all of you for posting, even Melinda, and , now, you are going to see Bruce Willis transformed, right before your very eyes, into Willaim H. Macy.
Once I got that darn helmet fastened on, we were led out of the little instruction room, to an instruction tryout area. I was afraid this was going to happen, only because we did this in may. Once you're familiar with the Segway, this part can get old , real quick.
After a couple of "around the pylons" and "up the ramp", "down the ramp", I just kinda stood on the side and watched the others.
The guy with no name tag came over to me with both eyebrows raised.
BOTH!
"You're not playing?"
"Actually, I've done this, I'm just waiting to get to go into the countries."
" OH, you're that good, are you?"
I did two 360 degree spins, one double lux, zipped around behind him and on the way back to my spot, picked his wallet.
"You're pretty good, old son, but I've got a Segway of gold, against your soul, that' says I'm better than you."
" Well my names Nebo, and it might be a sin,,,,,,,,,
Ok, I made that whole last part up.
But it was fun typing.
I handed him back his wallet, and went through the pylons again.
I don't want another "Phil" here again.
When the practice time was over, we all headed over to World Showcase.
In line.
Quack, quack, quack, quack.
On the way there, we were joined by a young woman. Ah, this is Lauren. I got the feeling she didn't want to go through the instrucional phase again, either.
And I could tell , she had a special Segway. It was not only faster, it was one of the newer types that you turn with your body, not the handle.
We played ducks through a couple of the countries, just following her. I know some flowers lost their lives when we went through a couple of garden paths.
When we got to Italy, I think it was Italy, don't worry, if I'm wrong, smidgy or tiggerbell will correct me, they had a large area there and told us we can go play on our own. This part was hysterical to me. It was like somebody just shouted; "Gentlemen, start your engines."
Two women broke rank, and immediately turned into each other. The Segways growl when the hit something. Honestly, the "growl".
To make you not do that again.
Then they both tried to turn away in opposite directions, and the wheels caught.
Whoo doggies, there was a growling going on that would curdle your spine.
Then of course, the "flustered factor" would set in, and they were trying anything to get away. The poor guy that came up to help, now he gets rammed into,
more growling.
It was totally entertaining, and Jaime wasn't even there!
When the show was over, we took off on our own, and,,,,,I got the camera out. I gave it to her, and this is what I get for my thanks.
A Nebo by any other name is still a dork.
Lauren: " Hey, lets get you both in a picture"
Did somebody say send in the clowns?
yep, thanks Lauren.
and with those glorious photos, I'm going to leave you now. I have tomorrow off so I hope to get a longer chapter in .
