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

[Backstage_Gal]

Geez, Nebo, leaving us hanging like that!!!!!!!!! Come on, post, please!!!!!!!!!

Drink a little "sprite" and get to writing already........

 

[Kay7979]

Ok, my stupidity time again. "Tag Fairy"?

uh, oh, gotta get to work, be right back.
Next, the devil goes down to Epcot. Posting,,,,,,

Look on the left column of poster's screens, under their name, and you will see that many people have funny little quips under thie names. These are clips of various things they have posted, which have been lifted from their post by someone known on the DIS as the "Tag Fairy" who then inserts the quip permanently under their name. Don't ask me the mechanics of how the Tag Fairy installs the quote. Not sure. Many of us, myself included, are "tagless." I've heard that the Tag Fairy doesn't frequent the Trip Reports Board, so we may be tagless for a very long time!

Hey, Bikerbabe, thanks for the info on St. Auggie. We'll keep an eye out for Cal's, and or Ray's. Fine dining, huh? They sound like biker bars. heh.
What? Has Hook's closed down?
You may go in your Harley leathers, I'll be in my cut-offs and tank top.


Ah, now, finally, a woman that appreciates great talent, and bestows the proper response on the deserving one. You really need to talk to Diane, more.

Wow! Did you hear that sound? Of everybody else throwing things at their computers? I could from here.

The restuarant isn't Rays its The Reef...sorry for that misinfo...and who says my leathers arent cutoff and I'm not wearing a tank top

Yes we do appreciate you, as Does Diane, we just cant tell you cause you get all cocky about it

Thanks for a great cliffhanger...

 

[smidgy]

harleygirl, I couldn't have said it better myself!
on another note:
"I think the fear factor took some of the enjoyment out of it for her" only if you think being petrified beyond belief is enjoyable

ah, but I digress... the ticking timebomb awaits!

 

[monymony3471]

Monymony? Now, I admit, I'm easily confused. But....

My confusion starts with your signature, icon, avatar,,,, WHATEVER.
It says location MI

You see, where I come from, that stands for Michigan. Now, I know they do things differently a lot in Indiana, especially, the time zones, but, uh, does MI stand for Monies Indiana? Nice to see you back. Strange as you are.
I am sorry to say though, much as we'd love to meet you in Detroit, Indiana, this car will not be stopping till the fuel gauge is on E. There just isn't any time.

Since you were so eager to post how cool it would be to meet someone as strange as I, I thought I'd make that a possibility. But, you know what mom always said, stay away from strangers.

MI stands for Michigan. Nothing strange about that.

Wow Nebo - what a great report - Jaime pointed me over and I just finished the whole thing - lovin it and can't wait for the next installment!! Gotta add - I HATE flying as well and finally got to drive down last time - liked it so much better. Oh and the Bears poem - already sent a link to DH for that. Just wanted to say "Hi"

Smidgy - I love the fact that you post regularly in this report. DH just found mine and now I'm sure the games will begin!

I just spent my whole day reading your trip report (all 37 pages so far) whenever my boss wasn't paying attention and loved all of it. You are a great writer. Can't to read about "Lucifer", thanks for sharing your experiences.

 

[McDisney]

I noticed a funny thing tonight, driving home from work.
Tell me, is it just me or has anybody else noticed how many towns there are that are named after water towers?
Just wondering.


So tell us, having myself never been to Carpentersville, when the carpenter's built the water tower and named it after themselves and subsequently (subsquintly? anywho) the town after the tower, how long did the wooden tower hold water? Does it still stand or does the town need to be renamed weldersville?
just curious

I am so behind on my reading!!! Another great drug induced episode!

My motto today is: NO PAIN,,,, NO PAIN.

Obviously!

"You know, I hadn't thought about it, but now that you mention it, it IS our last day, so, WHY NOT?"

The strange thing is that you actually seem to have some memory of this day!

Just when the car slowed down, and you go back inside, she said;
"You mean that's it?" "Oh, that wasn't bad, that was kinda fun."

Way to go, Diane!!!

Then Lucifer came back with the drinks.

Oh, no!!! You're gonna get stuck with the tab on the steak and shrimp. I can feel it in my bones.

I suppose there's no way now that you can stretch this out until May. Oh well........Just glad to hear that you guys are going again!

THIS is when you know the drive to work is too long! I think Tolstoy had a shorter ride to work and look what HE did with it!

As I staggered around, trying to loosen up, I saw these things on the table in our room.
One of them said Early Times.

"Early Times"??? Sounds like the directions for dosage, if you ask me!

She looked like Delacroix walking the "Green Mile".
"Honey, don't worry about it, we can take row 3 agian, it's alright."
But, when we got up there, she went and got in line in row 2.


Just when the car slowed down, and you go back inside, she said;
"You mean that's it?" "Oh, that wasn't bad, that was kinda fun."

Yep, views can change over time. It helps when there is not a ten year "nothing break" in between visits.

First, great reference! Second, way to go, Diane! I totally understand about Test Track - mine was Splash Mountain, though.

I ended up at the "head" of the table, with Diane sitting next to me around the corner on the chef's side.

Ok, ok, it might have been the "foot" of the table. Guess it's all in the perspective.

I used to play a game with my Girl Scouts called "Who, Sir? I, Sir?" (I learned it from my 8th grade science teracher, who I think stole it from a Cary Grant movie) and you sat in a circle. One end was the foot and the other the head - so, by my logic - were you at the left or right end of the table? (IN RELATION TO THE CHEF) If you were to his left - you were the head. The right, the foot.

Then Lucifer came back with the drinks.

Excellent.... that's right, nebo, string it out... May is almost here...

Kay, you can edit your own profile. You can put whatever you want under your tag. The tagfairy makes it color. I suppose she can add a cute quote or two as well. Just click on "User CP" in the upper left hand corner. Look for "Control Panel" on the Left hand side of the next screen. Under that, you will see "Edit Profile", click there, and you're in. Knock yourself out! I haven't read your trippy to give you some help on the cute quotes, but you could always "borrow" someones...

[smidgy]

tee hee ok, ok! I was WRONG about test track... it's no biggie...he was right about that, I was wrong. however...
SOARIN'.... disclaimer before the ride: If you are afraid of heights you should not ride this.
I am PETRIFIED of heights.. but.. I rode it anyway. I know you are not REALLY high, but why create a sensation that terrifies you? (for those of you with acrophobia, you know what I mean. the SENSATION ALONE terrifies you, whether it is real or not; ever wake up in a cold sweat from a scary dream? THAT wasn't real)
yes, it was really cool (in a way), an experience not to be missed, but it still scares me. but I try to do as many things as I can that nebo likes to do because I love him and want to make him happy. and knowing I am really only 10 feet off the ground makes it "do-able". and I was very proud of myself, and HOPED he would be proud of me. and I will KEEP doing it, again and again, in the lowest row. (and he can do it by himself in the upper rows if he wants) quote "but she had to insist on row 3 again. this is the lowest row. the ride is still good, but I would like to try something different" (he did ALREADY try it in the uppermost row by himself, I did not keep him from trying that , nor would I. he wanted ME to do it WITH him) PARENTHETICAL ASIDE:
(being the snake lover that he is, what if he was married to someone with a phobia of snakes? (which is a common phobia) I let him have a multitude of snakes in our home, WITH babies in the home. we had a boa, a reticulated python, etc etc., at one point we were BREEDING corn snakes! but I digress)
alas, I suffer from acrophobia (I say SUFFER, because I really wish I COULD enjoy these things, I do feel like I'm missing out, but I tried, really, it's just not fun for me)
so I am SO proud of myself for riding it , not just once, but over and over. BUT
that isn't enough. I do NOT WANT to be 30 feet off the ground, and experience the same sensations. I know I'm not hundreds of feet in the air, it's a simulator, but I'm still 30 feet up.
yes , the "green mile" was nothing compared to my green face, in fearful anticipation....and I did get in row 2, even though he said , at the last minute,"you don't have to if you don't want to" .... and WASTE the argument the day before? I think not. If it was that important to argue about, then I best do it. and I did. I hope he had fun. actually, Iknow he did. me?
just wanted to say I appreciated my fellow "girls" cheering me on in my attempts at courage! and wanted to "splain" a few things

 

[smidgy]

actually, if they offer free dining in sept. we already have ressies for the 13-16 at dolphin 125 a night. so as far as having a "nebo harem meet" IF they have free dining, and IF we still have jobs (the bar I work at is for sale also, besides nebos place of biz threatening to go under) we would book at a moderate resort , hopefully,(ok maybe a value) the week BEFORE the 13th. a LOT of IF's!!! and If we are out of jobs, maybe we will LIVE there by then! (in FLA)(IF nebo had his way) and you could all sleep in sleeping bags in our den! (FAT chance nebo will drag me away from my grandson! AND my 83 year old dad AND our 2 sons and their wives,not ready to move JUST YET! )again, I digress...BUT the PERK of staying at the dolphin for the end of our trip...walking distance from epcot after illuminations and.... KARAOKEE at the swan!! and performing LIVE>>> NEBO!!! that man can sing... ( I just sing "these boots") but he has quite a repertoire!., come monday, 16 tons, jenny, rainy night in Georgia, moody blues(question),bobby rydell,poor side of town,Lynkin Park,.tons of oldies, some new stuff, etc etc, that man has quite a following in the karaoke circuit in our neck of the woods! I get gossebumps just listening to him sing!
we figure we can cancel our ressies, but didn't want to pass up the 125 a night at dolphin, so we booked it. if we can't go, we can't go. (my idea) so we figure the week before will be our free dining. (but we really don't think they will offer it again. shucks) if they do, I figure we'll try for port orlean riverside, bayou section. but maybe we'll end up at a value (pop)\
who knows, the way our lives are maybe we'll be living in argentina? greece? norway? (no too cold) with nebo's tinkering, who KNOWS WHERE?
if he thinks, he tinks. guess I am destined to be Sarah to his Abraham.

 

[lexmelinda]

guess I am destined to be Sarah to his Abraham.

You're not pregnant are you Diane? You know I've wondered why you guys didn't consider moving down to FL but I can see not wanting to move away from your dad and your grandson. I have, however, wondered how much the waiters and bartenders make at Disney World? Gotta be a small fortune....tempting.

ok - IF this all occurs - we will be there at the same time... wow. Fourth trip's the charm. Our dates are September 8 - 15 this year.

I also learned that (and I can't remember where I read this) the body is not able to laugh and feel fear at the same time. I have tested this on a few rides, and it seems to hold true.

 

[nebo]

Wow! Does this count as a paradox? Both of us and Jaime there at the same time?

And Jaime, it is possible to feel fear and laugh at the same tmie. It happens to me every time I watch "When Nature calls" and I am fearing for my sanity because I'm laughing at this crap.

Melinda, from what we have heard, Yes, they do make a nice chunk for bartending

Ok, Jaime, it was the foot of the table. Now, YOU HAPPY?

Melinda: The strange thing is that you actually seem to have some memory of this day! (quotes don't work here at work for some reason)
I'll have you know I have an excellent memory, if I want to remember it.
( ok, where did they put the exclamaation mark?

Very good! Clever, funny, and sarcastic. You fit right in here. Welcome aboard.

Missj1975: Ditto, As Kurt Vonnegut Jr. might paraphrase, welcome to our own personal monkey house.

Ty ry: Nice to hear from you Tracy. I'll have to check yours out. Are you a Betty Maltese ex neighbor too?

outta time, gotta go

 

[tiggerbell]

Yes, thank you.

As Kurt Vonnegut Jr. might paraphrase, welcome to our own personal monkey house.

This made me laugh - when I had the big house, 2 dogs, 2 preteen girls, 2 hermit crabs, no partridge but an actual pear tree, and the EXwaste-of-space, I would ask the girls to straighten up a bit sometimes - just so's it don't look like monkeys live here all the time!

 

[winkers]

Hi Winkers

Yu know, with your addition, the states are now covered. From Wahington to Florida with Backstage Gal. Unless you're Wash. D.C. .

:

You hit upon one of my little pet peeves! Whenever I tell someone I'm from Washington, they always say D.C ? And I have to say no, if I meant D.C. I would have said D. C. Okay, my little rant is now over!
