GUESS WHO'S COMING TO FREE DINNER, or, Feeding Nebo,,,,completed

[lexmelinda]

Hey, bartender.....since you're giving out the drink recipes, I would like to know what's in Hot Sex mentioned in Nebo 1. I think googling that is out of the question. For Me(l).

Warning! Warning! Danger Will Robinson!

yeah, thanks Scotty.

You have no idea, do you? They're all ME! I have 17 different log-in names, so you think you have an audience.

Jaime, this really cracked me up, good one.
This next chapter is probably going to come at you in bit's and pieces.
Cuz I just lost an hour by somehow hitting the magical " make everything go away " key. Yeah, and it might now have an edge to it.

WE ATE AT THE FRIGGIN MEXICO RESTARAUNT AND WENT BACK TO THE ROOM.

(calm down, that's not nice, calm down)
Am I the only one who loses stuff somehow? I'm serious. Does it happen to any of you?

We get off the boat ride, and go check in at the register for dinner. The place is really empty.

"Hi, we're here for our nine,,,,,
"Yes, yes, come this way please."
Diane turns to me and gives me that, " hey, can't get any better than this" look, I'm not so sure.
Something about it all just doesn't seem right.
And, besides that, something else just doesn't seem right.
With me.
Not sure what it is, all I can notice to myself is that something's not quite right. ahh, never mind

Now, by now you should all know about my incredible visual acuity exploits.
My eyes are just amazing!

I can see dark, where no one else can. (I think they're just not trying)
So, on our way to the table, I saw lots of dark, I proved it by banging into 3 other defenseless tables on the way there. Now, this shouldn't have been a problem now. There was no bright sunlight to have to come in out of, but it didn't matter.

Somebody said "sit", so I sat.
It was a great table. We were right by the river, lookiing at the volcano and the pyramid, yes, those I could see. But, that was about it.

After a couple of minutes, I finally asked, "Diane? Are you there?"
"Yes honey, I'm here".
The waitress came, and handed us our menus. Then said,,,,,,
" So, are you ready to order?"
Diane laughed, "Are you kidding? You just gave us the menus."
"Oh"
And she started to walk away, obviously shook.
Diane: But we will order drinks now, if it's ok.
waitress turns back, now big smile in her voice.
"Oh, I forgot, be right back."
And she ran away again.

We just looked at each other.
Well, she looked at me, her head was right where the volcano was spewing lava, so the brightness behind her blocked out her head.
The waitress was back in 40 seconds.
"Hokay, you ready to order now?"
I saw the outline of Diane's head wave back and forth, and then she ordered a margarita.
I said "ditto"

"OH, you want a ditto?" "How would you like your ditto?"
ok, she didn't really say that, I probably would have jumped in the river if she did, but she did just stand there and look at me.
" I'll have a margarita,too."
"Oh, you want two margarita's?"

"No, well, yes. Geesh. " "One margarita for me, and one for my wife."
"Hokay?"
That river was starting to look better and better.
We had about 3 minutes to read the menu before she was back.
Sans drinks.
I had been trying to hold the little candle thing up to the menu to see it, Diane was hanging over the railing trying to read by the glow of the lava.
Luckily, we had read the menu's on All ears net, and pretty much knew what we wanted.
I had the combinacion platter, I think she had a steak thing, mexican style going on, I could be wrong though.
I don't remember what she ordered for an appetizer. Could have been aardvark for all I could see.
I ordered a floodlight.

At about this time, I should say that I'm not the best person you want to have critiqueing a Mexican style eatery. I have gotten better over the years, I really hated this food for a long time, but, to me, it's all still "GLOP"
Having ordered, we pretend to light a smoke, well, that's what we used to do after you make your order, and enjoy it with your drink.
Oh, that's right. So far we are pretending to drink, too.

Our drinks were there in less than 3 minutes.
Chips and salsa were there 1.6 minutes later.
Appetizers arrived 2.5 minutes after that.
Not five minutes went by and she's wheeling out the entee cart to us.
I thought Diane was going to go through the roof!

Hey! we haven't even started yet on the appetizers! Don't even think about putting that stuff on our table. Why don't you just bring us some corn flakes and milk and we'll take care of breakfast too, while we're at it!"
I had a reasonably good idea that the sarcasm was lost on the waitress, but I loved the line, and gave wifey a high five.
Which of course hit her in the forehead.

About ten minutes later, the food was wheeled out to us again. And , no, they didn't ask if we were ready, they just decided that it was time to "pop" it up to us again. Kinda like Rosie O'donnel on tv.

From what I could see, my plate was just packed. I'm not convinced that instead of putting the food back under the warmers, when we first rejected it, that they just didn't pile on more stuff that was still hot on top.

I'm starving. A combination platter lets me be safe, gotta be something I'll like. Right?
I tried the glop on a tortilla. Not bad.
I tried the glop in a tortilla. Not bad.
The glop baked with different kinds of glop, they're all cousins, that was supposed to stay in the tortilla, but wouldn't. Some of the cousins tried to escape down my arm. Not bad
The hermetically sealed glop that you could actually pick up with your hands, and eat it soforth, as long as you didn't try to put it back down again.
If you did, all the runaway glop from the lesser species would infiltrate, and your hermetically sealed glop would now have a "glop" coating, rendering it useless to try to pick up again.
Where was I?
Oh.
Not bad!
Let's see. Am I shortchanging any glop here?

Oh yes!

Refried glop! And this was bad. I could barely see it, I just knew to avoid "Nine O'clock" on the plate.
I had meant to re-critique Diane on how she felt about her meal, but,,,,,,,I forgot.
Don't worry though, if I'm off base on something here, I think she'll let you know!

During dinner, I looked around, and we were the only ones in there.! Honest, really truly. And it felt like they couldn't get rid of us fast enough, so they could close up.
I had no problem with the food, and believe me, there was plenty of it, I didn't come close to finishing, neither did Diane. But the service totally sucked.

I don't know. Maybe if there were more folks there eating, there might have been a few more lights on. If a romantic dinner is what you have in mind, then this place is for you. Just remember;
You might find out that whom you're leaving with isn't who you came in with.
and with that I'm going to say "menyana" night guys

 

[nebo]

ok, fine,,,,,,, actually Melinda, Hot Sex is a pre-made drink that you'll find next to the Schnaaps, butterscotch, Pucker, dreamsickle type of stuff. It's kinda chocolatly,,,,,chocholatly,,,,,,chocolotly,,,(boy, I hate you) , no, not gonna telll you. You buy it, then tell me.
so there

 

[nebo]

I just started your trip report and am enjoying your warped sense of humor. Loved the "killdozer" segment. There's plenty of other funny and entertaining material here, but that part was so visual it sticks in my mind.

It's fun to read a report now and then about an adults-only trip. DH and I are 46 and 51 respectively. We're Big Kids that completely enjoy the World. BTW, judging from your photos, I think we had the same table as you at Hoop-de-do-Review. Table 21?

Looking forward to future segments. Thanks for the laughs.
Today 01:28 AM

I knew I was forgetting something else.
Kay7979 , I had to ask, do you remember that movie? Killdozer? I asked Diane after I posted it and she looked at me like I'm nuts.
Oh, and I thought I was the one in charge of being a--- retentive, but you actually remember what table number you sat in at Hoop de Doo?
Wow!

Ok, everybody, off my case.

P.s. your right, it was table 21.

 

[smidgy]

Diane's critique of San Angel: If you like Mexican food, you'll like it. Nebo is right, this glop is no better then the Mexican glop at the mexican restaurant in Your Town, USA. (which is the reason we haven't eaten at nine Dragons, chinese is chinese). this is the reason I ordered mexican steak. It was done just as I ordered, medium rare, and was great. (with good glop on the side)
I still to this day am surprised that Nebo was surprised that it was dark in there! how many times have we walked through this restaurant to get to the boat ride? ok, the swelling on my forehead from his "high five" is just starting to go down.
If a restaurant is going to be open for extra magic hours, AFTER illuminations, and they take your ADR, they should not be surprised that you actually want to enjoy your meal. Let us enjoy our drinks with the chips and salsa, THEN bring the appetizers. when you see are about finished with them, THEN bring the entree.
ps. kay and nebo, table 21 is at the hoop de doo REVUE, NOT REVIEW. you can review a revue, but you can't revue a review. (well, maybe you can set a restaurant critique to music and dance, and call it a revue, but it is still a review) wait, I have to review this last sentance. should I review the revue review? (see, I can be persnickety too)

 

[lexmelinda]

Am I the only one who loses stuff somehow? I'm serious. Does it happen to any of you?

No...you're the only one.

I don't remember what she ordered for an appetizer. Could have been aardvark for all I could see.
I ordered a floodlight.

NEBO! Before you go back to WDW, get yourself one of those little key chain flashlights. DH has one and it is mighty handy.

I had a reasonably good idea that the sarcasm was lost on the waitress, but I loved the line, and gave wifey a high five.
Which of course hit her in the forehead.

Diane must have the patience of a saint. Happy to hear the swelling is going down!

Now this is just some "classic nebo"! Hilarious! Ya know, I kinda like the glop at the Mexican restaurants although I prefer that at least some of it is red and not all brown. But let's face it....we're all just there for the margaritas.

Great installment and almost glad you lost the first version....I can't imagine that it was as funny that this one! Thanks for the info on the Hot Sex. I'll look for it cause I'm all about chocolate.

 

[RHONDALEE]

Diane/Smidgy I have to disagree with you about "chinese is chinese". I have had Sesame Chicken from a couple of chinese places here and talk about GLOP. The Sesame Chicken in Nine Dragons is FANTASTIC.....
Maybe Jaime (Tiggerbell) will tell you about her "Salad in a vase" sometime.

I knew I was forgetting something else.
Kay7979 , I had to ask, do you remember that movie? Killdozer? I asked Diane after I posted it and she looked at me like I'm nuts.

Wow!

Ok, everybody, off my case.

P.s. your right, it was table 21.

Yes, the movie Killdozer sounds familiar, and I actually think I can picture a couple scenes of this giant bulldozer, yellow I think, chasing people down, ready to smush them into Mexican Food Glop.

As for table 21 at HDDR, I have to remember all this useless trivia for my own trip report. Table 21 was a great table for taking photos. I got a bunch. Also a great spot for trying to trip the actors and waitresses who keep walking by.

ps. kay and nebo, table 21 is at the hoop de doo REVUE, NOT REVIEW. you can review a revue, but you can't revue a review. (well, maybe you can set a restaurant critique to music and dance, and call it a revue, but it is still a review) wait, I have to review this last sentance. should I review the revue review? (see, I can be persnickety too)

Thanks for setting me straight. That's why I usually have to check a couple Disney websites before posting segments of my trip report or I end up with embarrasing blunders like that. Well, Review or Revue I don't know, but after our evening at the show I have renamed it the Poop-de-doo-Review,Review,Review. But that explanation comes in a later episode of my report.

 

[Kay7979]

Nebo,

It just struck me who you remind me of, right down to the bald head except of course you are not nearly as old:

Mr. Magoo

If you ever run out of your own half-blind funny mishaps, you can always watch some old Mr. Magoo reruns for inspiration!

 

[lexmelinda]

Mr. Magoo

I didn't say it! Kay said it! tee, hee!

 

[monymony3471]

mony mony.. what is a foot massage? anyhow, much as I hated working new year's eve, i made enough in tips alone for 2 nights at a moderate resort,and isn't that what it's all about?... (however, my "deluxe bloody mary new years day special" was a bust. ...in our youth, all the regulars that were there last night would have been there today, getting a "hair of the dog" . now that we are all william H. macys, I guess they were all home licking their wounds. (but my cutie bruce willis showed up for a couple manhattans
:

Well from what I have experienced first hand, a foot massage can be given to you by your spouse. Yes, your spouse. All you have to do is sit on the couch next to your spouse, in your case, nebo, and put your feet on his lap. Then while he is watching the TV he can put his hands on your feet, and this is the tricky part, he can rub them at the same time.

Sometimes they get lost in what's going on in the show, and the rubbing stops, all you have to do is wiggle your toes and they remember that they were rubbing your feet.

Let me know if this helps!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Nebo, still here and reading, you are hilarious as always!!


And congrats, you are getting a bunch of groupies now

 

[Redwitch]

Thank you Nebo!

I have spent the better part of the week reading your reports. I found your May trip first and immediately had to search for this one. I cannot remember ever reading a Tripy or is it Trippy or Trippie (never mind) that made me laugh until I scared the cats!

 

[winkers]

Came close one time, a few years ago.
I was ready.
He put on the gloves.
I was nervous.
He dimmed the lights.
I was more nervous.
He lit some candles.
I was shaking.

It was when he put the Johnny Mathis CD in that I finally bolted.

From that point on, my line was always,,,,
" Hey, why don't you tell me what you're looking for, and I'll tell you if it's up their or not"

Ok, I am dying! You are too funny! But being a woman I don't have much sympathy for men with the prostate exam. Next time you're spread eagle with your legs in the air and a spotlight aimed at you, then we'll talk!

 

[UtahMama]

Ho-Kayyyy, I'm a late-joining wanna be groupie and friend of LexMelinda, MonyMony, PrincessV and BackStage Gal. I've read this all in one pop without skimming except teh replies from your fans that I dont "know". 16 pages! OY!

There's just WAYYYY to much to comment on so I wont, except to ask if you really use words like "Ludicrosity" or "Scrote" in real life common conversation? Good, me too.

Since I'm too overwelmed to comment, I want to know how you got the hunky bald guy to pose for you in front of Mr and Mrs. P. Head ? THIS guy is not capable of FLIP TOP sunglasses!

I am enjoying your humor and sarcasm, mostly because you are keeping me away from MY TR which is in a creative limbo (coma) right now (mostly because I know the end is near-ish)

SO! You are entertaining the masses and your fan club thanks you!

Nice to meet you, by the way.

 

[jluvsdis]

Hey Nebo, thanks for the compliment. I live and breathe these boards, whether I'm going or have just returned, they are my life. Just ask my husband

I must thank you too, for bringing me, sloooooooooowly, out of my "lurker" state. I just can't read your reports and not want to say something, you are a true classic. Teach me how to qoute too and then I can really say what's on my mind

As always, continuing to enjoy every word.

Jill

 

[tiggerbell]

I got a bottle of Vicodin................. staying OFF my feet~!

Nebo,

It just struck me who you remind me of, right down to the bald head except of course you are not nearly as old:

Mr. Magoo

If you ever run out of your own half-blind funny mishaps, you can always watch some old Mr. Magoo reruns for inspiration!

Oh, just too funny. I almost soiled my depends.
Yep, beautiful, how did I go from Bruce Willis to Mr. Magoo in less than three weeks? And this from a person with an avatar of a pig with wings that can't get off the ground!

tiggerbell I got a bottle of Vicodin................. staying OFF my feet~!

Jamie, did everything go ok today? hope so Just remember, don't take the pills after you have eaten, you'll just waste them. And don't try driving until you know how they affect you. Oh, shoot, you won't listen, I'll be right over to show you how to use them.

Utahmama: I have read a lot of your trip report, even posted a couple times, but that was back when I was in high school.
I'm glad to see you though, you haven't changed a bit. And yes, it does get tough as you near the end, it's like the whole trip you took is ending again.

Ok, I am dying! You are too funny! But being a woman I don't have much sympathy for men with the prostate exam. Next time you're spread eagle with your legs in the air and a spotlight aimed at you, then we'll talk!

Winkers: you are correct. the only stirrups my feet will go in had better be hanging next to the belly of a horse.

redwitch: thanks for reading, your comments really help.

Backstage_Gal Nebo, still here and reading, you are hilarious as always!!


And congrats, you are getting a bunch of groupies now

Yes, I think Jamie is expecting overtime pay, pretty soon.

Thank you Lexluthor for your insight.

Any I've missed, I'm sorry, but thanks for reading.

Boy, I went from good "eye candy" to Lemonheads. geesh

After dinner, I couldn't wait to get out of San Angel Inn. It just seemed kinda weird in there, with no on else around. Honest. Every other table was empty, but still had the little candles glowing on them.

We walked out and just sauntered towards the front of Epcot.
We did one more thing before we left, Spaceship Earth.

I see signs that say there is a new sponser, Siemens, I believe, whoever that is, but I swear those signs have been up there for a couple of years now, and the changes they say are coming,,, well, I don't even think they are breathing hard yet.

brb

 

[tiggerbell]

I'm doing pretty well. Only took 1 vic today - taking another one when I go to bed. Until about 1/2 an hour ago, it didn't even hurt.

Stole my mother's walker. Truly.

AND, if my foot heals the way I think it will, I'm getting a part time job because MEG WANTS TO GO BACK TO DISNEY!!! In December. For her real birthday. 3 trips in 1 year. Have I mentioned I turn 39 in a few weeks, so I have declared this "The Year of The Jaime". And 3 trips sounds perfect!

 

[nebo]

After that long day, I was asleep in no time.

Thursday, Sept. 14th, 2006 in the year of our Lord.

I waken, open my eyes and find I'm facing the windows.
Light is just starting to stain the inside of the curtains, and I can see it running down near the floor.
(ok, knock it off, who do you think you are, Stephen King?)
As I gathered my wits and tried to shake off the slumber, I realized something wasn't quite right.

Light was only coming in through one side of the window!

The other side was black.
I don't mean dark, in shadows, I mean Black!
I pulled the blanket up to my chin. And listened.
Nothing. Absolutely no sound from anywhere.

Then I felt the sound. Getting closer. I couldn't hear it as much as feel it.
And the harder I listened, the louder it got!

Ahem. Do you recall in the last installment that something didn't quite seem right?
Well, yeah, I'm getting a pretty good idea what it is now.

No, not the heartbreak of insanity.

As I looked at the windows again, I realized that my left eye hadn't yet opened. It was stuck shut. I pryed it open, and knew that the thumping sound was just my heart.

Got out of bed and took about 3 steps towards the john, and the kids started screaming at me.
My back yelled," Hey! What do you think your doing sucker?"
My foot said, "Go ahead, make my day." "I'll drop you like a rock."

I hobbled into the bathroom, and closed the door.
Whew! This is going to be a swell day.
I had no idea how swell.

I am going to cheat here. Yep, shoot me. But I'm going to post what I had written in the first trip report so you get the full meaning of how I feel about these toilets at the Pop. wavy dream sequence here

As Diane is grabbing all the drawers, I go to the bathroom.

And I come face to face with IT.
The toilet.

Oh no, this is not just any toilet.

Now, luckily for me, I was not still sitting when I finished.

There is no handle here. Just a chrome button on the middle of the tank top.

This should have given it away to me but I just pushed the button anyway.

Suddenly, the whole room rumbled, the lights flickered, and all the air was
sucked up out of the room.

I looked, and it was gone. Just like that like I had never even used the toilet in the first place.

And it all took place in .5 seconds.

I was scared.

I think Disney has found a chasm that goes all the way to the center of the earth, and they now handle waste at the new resorts by jetisoning it there.

I had heard about these things.

They were originally tested in the Nevada desert and then later in the
fifties at Bikini Atol, along with the hydrogen bomb.

But back then, they were considered to be too cruel and inhumane.

That is not a flush handle on the tank.

It is called a detonator.

Seriously, you may think I'm blowing this out of proportion, but I would
not want to be sitting there when the thing goes off.

I'm afraid I'd end up doing Mel Gibson's William Wallace character from
"Braveheart" and start yelling " FREEDOM" as I"m being disembowled.

Now, aren't you glad I shared that with you? heh

detonate at your own risk.


Ok, back to the present. There I am again, alone with the Mad Flusher, only this time the handle was actually on the side, but of course by now, we knew better.

I stood back, and pressed the lever with my foot.
The shower rod rattled, the lights dimmed, but,,,,, it made no sound.
When it was over, I leaned over to look.
Yes, it was gone, it just didn't make any sound!
So, I said to my self, only out loud, " Hey, it didn't make any sound."
Which was then followed by, " Hey, I didn't make any sound either, when I said it didn' t make any sound."

And then I knew. Step aside foot. Step aside back. Big brother cold is home for a visit!

Crap, crap, crap.
When I get a bad cold, the first thing to go is my hearing.
But I'm in denial right now. Nope, nothing wrong here! I get dressed, grab my trust refillabled mug and go down where the coffee is.

As I walk out of the room, the sun is up, and it looks like it's going to be a great day. But as I walk towards the elevators, I can't hear any birds. Or people. Or air conditioners running. I stop overlooking the pool and lean on the railing. Even my shoes didn't make any sound.

To be honest, it was damn spooky. Mostly cuz everything seemed normal otherwise, except for the silence.

Now, how to pull this off without anyone actually talking to me.

I filled my coffee up with no problem. There was a guy next to me, I guess he might have said something to me but I'll never know. When your suddenly deaf you learn not to make eye contact. Hey. Kay, does mr. magoo have a compatible deaf brother?
But now the real challenge awaits. The store has just opened, and I need drugs.

I grabbed the Orlando Sentinel like I usually do, then go in search of medicine.
And I can't find it quick enough.
Some useless, low life, nothing better to do cast member had to come up and try to help me.
Crap!
Here we go.

Once eye contact was made, he stood in front of me and started talking.
And it looked so funny to me, his mouth moving and no sounds coming out.
I'm afraid to talk for a couple reasons, one, it just encourages more talk, and two, when you can't hear, it hard to tell how loud you are being.
So, I just point to my ear with one hand, and wave my other hand side to side showing I can't hear.

There, that should show him. Right?
And at just that time, I guess I swallowed just right, and the whole world just came crashing back in on me.

I was Nebo-unplugged.
I actually jumped a little when that happened, only I was still looking right at the cast member. And I could now easily hear him. Oh, how I wish I hadn't.

"Hey buddy, it's ok. I know it get's a little nuts around here but it's all cool."

And then I realized what had happened. He thought I was making the "crazy" sign with my hand, and when I jumped a bit, that didn't help.
As crappy as I felt, I busted up laughing, and had a hard time stopping. Now, he's definately looking nervous and fingering his cell phone. For security.
So I ended up explaining what just happened to him, very quickly mind you because I know this new found hearing thing is going to go away, shortly.

Gratefully, he shows me to the cold medicine. And leaves.
And, now that I mention it, I'm leaving too. tbc
