Boy. This feels strange. Sitting here writing again.
Been awhile.
I have one question.
"WHo are all you people?"
Hi bunnysmum, Welcome to C'ville. It's not quite as nice as Berwyn, but then, we never had to deal with Betty Maltese as a neighbor, either.
Cause my dd, Bunny has two loose teeth, and that's what the tooth fairy brings at our house...
A long time ago, we used to go to Spring Hill for Disney dollars for teeth too.
Now, we go there and turn in our Disney dollars and get teeth.
All of you that have shared my anticipation, delight, my unknown, unexpected adventures and interactions coming up on the next trip, finding the "STUTUES" . Well, I am sorry for dragging you down with me and having our "DREAMS", just so unceremoniously burst with the information that they went the way of Brittney's hair.
Um, Libade? glad you joined the moosketers. Boy, you sure picked the strangest line to find a "whimsy" in.
Backstage_Gal HI Nebo, still around reading faithfully!
I would would post if i had anything funny to say. I am counting on my twin sis Kay to do it for me!
I'll probably regret saying this ,
Is this true? The twin sister thingy? Anybody?
Nah, they can't be twins, Backstage gal seems to be a normal, well adjusted woman.
And the other one is a flying pig.
Nah.
Unless it's the "bad seed".
Hmm
Ok, I have to get back to work here.
By the way, the back is better.
As long as I keep myself in a constant stupor, everyting is fine.
Just fine.
Now where the heck did I leave off?
Oh yeah, it was our last night at the Dells, and I still had 3 go-kart coupons left.
Yeah, yeah, take at easy.
The bus at Saratoga finally came, and we joined the zombies on the way to Downtown Disney.
Diane did go up to this bus driver and ask is he new where the boat dock was. The one that the map and the guide books say go from Saratoga to DD.
And, good thing we didn't go walking around looking for it.
It wasn't running that night.
And "They", would have probably caught up with Barbara. (Diane).
I'm not real good with zombies.
I never know what to say.
It probably would have come out, " Do what you want to the girl and leave my alone!"
So, instead, the bus pulls up at DD.
We exit, leave the zombies behind and get over to Captain Jack's with 3 minutes to spare.
And we are told there will be a twenty minute wait.
So, ya hang around. I go outside for another smoke, and it's drizzling out.
Twenty minutes later, we are called, and are seated right next to a window, with a great view of,,,, um,,,,, water. Ok, shiny water. It's dark, the water is dark, lights are reflecting off it. Dark, shiny, water.
However, it was still a better view than the tables in front of us , that seated 8. Yep, it's time for being PC to be darned. There was ten of them, yelling at the seater and the server. But only 8 chairs there. They were speaking Spanish, but I could tell they were'nt from Mexico. I thought I heard South American mentions,,,, but the women were just brutal, yelling at the staff.
I heard the seater explain that they only made ressies for 8, and now you are ten.
Didn't matter.
As I was about ready to request a different table, 4 more of them came in.
These four guys were even drunker then the rest, but in a good mood. It was the women doing all the yelling
Before we even got a chance to be moved, the waitress who had already given us a beer, asked us kinkly if we would mind moving to a different table.
Said she needed our table to help this group out.
Hold it,,, no, not kinkly,,,, KINDLY.
There.
And we got away from them, and still had a blackened water view.
And we ordered.
Now, I know you have read Wolfgang Smidgie's review on this restaurant.
And it was right on.
For the most part.
So Tough, you're going to have to read mine too.
We are there for only one reason. The twin lobster tails. To be honest, I have only oredered lobster once in my whole life. I'm thinking "two" might be overdoing it. So, I ordered a steak and a lobster, "side".
I know she had "Carb cakes" as an appetizer. I''m not sure, but I think I ordered the boring Minestrone soup. (you do know that for the rest of our lives, they will be known as Carb cakes from now on?)
Dinner came. And I just dived right into my mashed potatoes.
My steak was this thing that looked like a hockey puck. I almost started thinking, cool, a filet! Then I looked closer,,,, uh uh. On closer inspection it looked more like Gaines Burgers. This is sirloin. I cut off a piece. And HOT sirloin. I had popped that little piece in my mouth after a sawed it off.
I could tell when it got to the table and I cut into it, it was medium rare, but the nuclear reactor they had put it under wasn't done cooking , I think.
It was now medium well.
And so was my mouth.
" How is your steak, honey?"
"ummm, one second, hard to tell with a mouthful of seared flesh."
Absotively, without a doubtlet, it was the worst steak I had on Disney property, ever. Your jaws just gave up, whether you wanted them to or not.
I turned to the lobster tail.
ok, I admit, I am relatively new to this aspect of "fine dining".
After peeling back this dinosaurian like exoskeleton, I was face to face with this big hunk of what looked like to me, marshmallow. I look up at wifey, she's going to town on hers. "Nope, nothing wrong here."
And just before I take a scoopfull, I notice the bypass running around Macon.
You see, I am still extremely, map, oriented, even though we flew down this trip. Trust me, any Pschologist that ever tried to give me a Rorshach Test, would run screaming into the hills. Because everything looks like a map of some state, or town, to me.
Anyway, this lobster tail looks like the state of Georgia, ,, I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is the "red line" going around Macon.
"Diane?" "Should I have a red line going around Macon in my lobster?"
"Shut up and eat, it's fine."
Wow, talk about getting headed off at the pass?
I did eat most of everything cept the bypass, since I wasn't eating that steak. I could have ordered about four more helping of the mashed potatoes though, they were great. My luck they would have started looking like Alaska, " why is there an oil rig in here?"
I was still full by meals' end, and didn't order desert. I know, sacrilege on the dining plan, I just felt stupid ordering something I wouldn't eat. She ordered Lime Pie, I believe. I looked at her.
Was that Valdosta hanging from her chin?
She barely touched her dessert too, so we asked for the check.
Boy, how to explain this next part.
Our waitress came, and took her room key card. She stopped back mometarily to inform us that our two beers were on the house for being such great sports, and switching tables.
Cool.
But oftentimes, fate has other plans. Just when you get set up with the free beers, evil is planning it's move.
There is so much that goes on just beyond the realm of our senses, that we just don't know about. And sometimes, we just cannot follow the flight of a simple thing like a room card. As it dissappears behind a doorway. And we also don't see the many people that might be handling it, fondling it, and then, finally, returning it to us.
But true, malevelolent evil, has no timetable. Once it's work is done, it can sit back and take a nap.
It knows it's work is done, now it just waits for the alarm to go off.
Then, it smiles.
So, it was with the innocense of a child, that Diane picked it up and put it back in her fanny pack.
The room key card crawling with death!
Jiminy Crickets, where did the time go? I'm sorry if I shortchanged any of you, I just didn't want to overdue things first night back in the pilot's chair.
Wait a minute: did I see right before?
There is now a Melinda and a Belinda? Tell me they are yanking my chain.
Nebolinda, saying ttfn.
). We never know what to do about Christmas and gifts and blah, blah, blah...
Ya got me on this one...caught me offguard
