Hucifer does the solo thing sort of. Alone and going home, 9/21

[Peter Panic Attack]

Hey hucifer -can I break in on your TR to give Peter Panic Attack a quick shout-out? I finally started reading your TR, but I can't reply of course, and had to say everyone is right: IT ROCKS! I'm joining the league to get you to write another.

Thanks PrincessV....and go Gators! I’m still in mourning over the SEC championship game. I overheard the final score from a couple of Alabama fans while waiting for the next showing of “O Canada”. Even Martin Short’s light and playful banter couldn’t lift my spirits….because after all….I blame Canada.

Then he asked if I wanted the super-cool, gravity-defying, awesomeness-inspiring real space flight, or the wimpy wimpy store-brand ride that never leaves the ground.

Boy…I don’t know….because they both sound equally awesome. You’ve made it so hard to choose.

So instead of containing my pleasure, I breeze by the Greenies, taunting them by skipping through the queue, evil smile playing on my lips, and flashing my orange badge at each of them as I pass.

Looks like Angel Hucifer was on a union break.

And as much as I loved Magic Kingdom, I preferred Epcot.

Burn her! Burn her!

Feeling generous, I gave up my seat for an elderly couple and walked up to the doors. A man and his teenage son were standing next to me. The son was wearing a grey hoodie. The man was holding a giant beer glass that, although empty, looked like it recently contained a whole lotta beer.

Maybe you should have saved your seat for the giant beer guy….before he falls on somebody. Statistically speaking, an elderly couple is lighter than a male beer-drinker….and far less likely to do significant damage in a tumble.

But when I smile back, I realize then that I’ve already been smiling. Which would explain things. There, plastered on my face, was my state of mind…like a window to my soul. I was happy. And people could clearly see that.

Ahhh…Angel Hucifer is back.

I wash my hands and walk out of the bathroom, still carrying the bag away from my body and making sure that my body language is shouting, “Not mine! Not keeping it! Trying to find its rightful owner!” I certainly don’t want to put out the “It’s mine! I bought it! It was with me the whole time!” vibe.

That may not have been the only vibe you were sending….when you exit a public restroom carrying a bag away from your body at arms length.

 

[hucifer]

No, I broke it on my son's cute little rear end. Seriously, don't think I'm cruel. It really was broken
I think.

I'm totally calling Social Services. What's your number?

Yes, I AM that 90 year old woman who insists on the green side. But how did you KNOW that???

You told me on page 16.

Oh, good Lord, I AM old. You know, I barely venture into Future World. I tend to spend all my time in the WS because that's where they keep the margaritas and the beer.

You're not old, you're seasoned. And forgetful, apparently.

You know, that exclamation point has always bothered me. It seems so un-Canadian. It seems like it should really be called "O, Canada (you know, if you have the time, you really might enjoy watching our little show about our country, eh?)

Too long. I always thought O Canada! might be a climatic expression for our northern friends.

It's SO cool. It made me happy just thinking of you walking around with a big ole smile. And that is NOT sarcasm, my friend, I really mean it.

I appreciate that, Amy. Although, you will see that SOME people totally went sarcastic with that line.

And you were in the WS so it may very well have been yesterday's sauerkraut. Which may explain why it was left behind.

No way. Sauerkraut remains would weigh at least 8, 9 ounces. This bag was 0.5 ounces at the most.

That's why I married DH--for the sexy accent.

That's my girl.

Flourish & Blots? Dervish & Bangs? Sorry, I went all Harry Potter there for a minute.

No need to apologize for a Harry Potter reference here. This is an HP-friendly thread.

Wow, it was your lucky, lucky day. Not diamond encrusted Mickey Head earrings but a wooden spoon.

Maybe it was left behind on purpose. Maybe it was some psychological experiment on human behavior. I hope I passed.

There was too much that I loved and had to quote in this installment!

I was saving all my good material for the solo adventures.

Listen, 2 concussions in one soccer season and spinning is forever more out the window, lady!

That is a bummer. Because Mission:Space the Orange version is one kick-butt ride.

Show-off.

Damn right.

Years ago, I received a copy of a copy of a copy of EP mood music some CM illegally swiped. Great working music!

I USED to listen to Live 365 at work and hear park music all day long, but work decided to ban all online radio stations. It had to go because they use up too much bandwith and managers were unable to eBay. Something had to give, so buh-bye Live 365. Helloooo gently used Beanie Babies!

Which it just may possibly contain...

I've already proved why that wasn't possible to Amy. (See above.)

Congrats!

Thanks.

"I'd like to thank the academy for this special honor, and especially Art for the wonderful lunch, and all you little people on the DIS, you know who you are, for enjoying my trip report, and begging for more truck school stories."

I LOVE that speech. I'm totally using it and scrapping my old one.

Boy…I don’t know….because they both sound equally awesome. You’ve made it so hard to choose.

Some people don't have that choice. (See above.)

Looks like Angel Hucifer was on a union break.

Angel Hucifer goes on lots of long smoke breaks.

Burn her! Burn her!

This isn't my nose. It's a false one.

Maybe you should have saved your seat for the giant beer guy….before he falls on somebody. Statistically speaking, an elderly couple is lighter than a male beer-drinker….and far less likely to do significant damage in a tumble.

See, this is why I shouldn't do the solo thing anymore. You people are WAY smarter than me about these scenarios. Not sure how I survived the first time, really.

Ahhh…Angel Hucifer is back.

She was way overdue...she had been on a 48-minute smoke break.

That may not have been the only vibe you were sending….when you exit a public restroom carrying a bag away from your body at arms length.

Just giving the public something to talk about when they go back to their resorts that evening.

 

[glennbo123]

That's a great line.

This isn't my nose. It's a false one.

 

[Peter Panic Attack]

This isn't my nose. It's a false one.

Well, we did do the nose.....and the hat.

 

[kbheap]

I am just stumbling into your TR and am only on page 10. I will finish it, and probably tonight but seeing as I have been reading TR's for the last 2 hours at work, I should probably work a little while before I go home. Good trip report!! Can't wait to read the rest of it.

 

[Cap'n Keel]

The Orange-Green thing would have worked better if you had explained what each was - I don't remember. So you rode the old lady version after all?
I think that ride is my least favorite in all the parks as I suffer motion sickness. Yes, a Cap'n who gets seasick. I admit it - it's shameful I know. Nothing drugs and rum can't fix. Well maybe rum is a bad idea, but I have a rep to maintain <hic-up>. I never travel to the parks solo so I'm always forced ta ride the throw-up version.

Speaking of solo - leads me to my next Hucifer TR observation. You were smiling and the whole world could see that and smiled back. Yep, a smile usually gets a smile. <glint of a gold tooth> But traveling alone in the parks is sort of like going to the movies by oneself. So what were they really thinking? Sort of sad to me. I've traveled the world and one of the things I've learned is all the greatest sites lose their luster without someone to share them with. It's a natural human trait. Not that the Cap'n likes to socialize ... no way! Well maybe a tad with the lasses.

Like others - I think your description of your love for Epcot to be ... well ... fantastic. Well written Hucifer - take a bow! You brought the sights, sounds, and feelings to the page. Your transition to 15 at the turnstiles - most excellent. You took your readers on a journey with you. Difference between a Hucifer TR and so many others. I don't feel the same way as you about Epcot, but Main Street at MK gets me every time. It takes me back to a time, before I was born actually, of small town USA, blah-blah. Well ... I won't go off on a MK tangent. It's your TR and you like Epcot darn it! <whispering - dumb girls>

>So I head into Canada
We pretty much avoid that area. Why? The Brit's across the street/ocean cook this fish and the smell wafts over the whole area. Doesn't reach France thankfully or we'd have to burn the UK down <Its what we pirates do, plunder, pillage, mayhem, etc>. You know your fish smell is bad when people in Canada can smell it coming from England. Why don't they cook something else there in the UK - like bangers. <I didn't say a word, too easy, same goes for spotted ...>

Le Cellier - never heard of it. And they laughed at you? See why you need the Cap'n with ya? I'd pulled out me cutlass and run the lubber through. Never did like them Canucks what with their red coats and big wide cowboy hats and lack of manners for Hucifers. BTW Do you always have these issues with getting in to eat? We eat whatever and where ever every trip without issue. Is this possibly hygiene related? Did ya happen ta have yer finger in yer nose when you asked?

>O Canada ... so I sit down – alone
And you are surprised? Never saw it - boring. But, I'm all for it. Need more atttractions like it. Keeps the lines down at the good stuff. Dumb tourists.

>Go directly to the bathroom.
Okay here you are back in the bathroom again. <tsk-tsk> I wrote a TR once. Whole bunch of pages as I recall <swig>. Not once were the heads (that's sailor talk) mentioned. Scratch that, there was a mention and a photo now that I think of it. And also while I'm thinking about it, that photo was Ms. Hucifers idea. We need to get you some help young lady. For other readers, she made me do it. Yes, I'm ashamed. It was me. I took that photo of the mouse, duck, and many of their friends in the stalls. Not one of my proudest photos. Who'd known it'd make the tabloids.

>Someone bought a wooden spoon in Disney World! ... admirable moral code
Tourist buy anything and everything don't they? I know it's weird but some people actually collect spoons. Yes, I've seen them selling them, usually metal, all over the world. Why? Who knows? Who would have thought baseball cards would be big one day either? Yep, I can see me ole $10,000 Mickey Mantle rookie card clipped to the bike tire there. Hucifer you need to get out more darlin. Spoons are big, big business. Imagine a world without them - like in Japan. The entire soup market is dependent upon them. Economies are at stake here. As to your honesty, yes it is admiral <a low swash bow with a hat flourish>. You do know that if you steal anything at DW that a bolt of lightning will find you.

G'day ta ya me-dear.

Yer humble friend and servant,

 

[NMAmy]

You were right. Move over NMAmy.

What the heck?? I've been ousted so easily?

Quoting NMAmy: I'm an old man magnet.

Define old before I stop liking you.

It's always at least 20 years older than I am. And since we've established that I'm 90, I think you're safe. Who knew there were so many 110 yo men around?

You told me on page 16.

You're not old, you're seasoned. And forgetful, apparently.

Well, that's embarassing. I think I'm going to get my address and phone number tattooed on my arm so kind strangers can call my loved ones if I wander off.

Too long. I always thought O Canada! might be a climatic expression for our northern friends..

You win!

 

[hucifer]

It's nice to see a fellow Holy Grail fan.

Well, we did do the nose.....and the hat.

But she's got a wart.

I am just stumbling into your TR and am only on page 10. I will finish it, and probably tonight but seeing as I have been reading TR's for the last 2 hours at work, I should probably work a little while before I go home. Good trip report!! Can't wait to read the rest of it.

Hi kbheap! Welcome! I'm glad you posted.

Well, we are all guilty of doing a little DIS-ing from work. Except me. I would NEVER do that.
(Pssst...my boss reads this thread.)

The Orange-Green thing would have worked better if you had explained what each was

Most people followed along okay. But for the memory-impaired, here:

Then he asked if I wanted the super-cool, gravity-defying, awesomeness-inspiring real space Orange flight, or the wimpy wimpy store-brand Green ride that never leaves the ground.

Yes, a Cap'n who gets seasick.

Maybe you should seek a new profession. Like librarian. Or tour guide.

But traveling alone in the parks is sort of like going to the movies by oneself. So what were they really thinking? Sort of sad to me.

Not as sad as a seasick pirate.

Like others - I think your description of your love for Epcot to be ... well ... fantastic. Well written Hucifer - take a bow! You brought the sights, sounds, and feelings to the page. Your transition to 15 at the turnstiles - most excellent. You took your readers on a journey with you. Difference between a Hucifer TR and so many others.

Thank you for such a nice compliment! Better be careful...not exactly the reputation you want to have.

I don't feel the same way as you about Epcot, but Main Street at MK gets me every time. It takes me back to a time, before I was born actually, of small town USA, blah-blah. Well ... I won't go off on a MK tangent. It's your TR and you like Epcot darn it! <whispering - dumb girls>

MK tangents are welcome here.

You know your fish smell is bad when people in Canada can smell it coming from England.

I thought you said you like the lassies.

Le Cellier - never heard of it. And they laughed at you? See why you need the Cap'n with ya? I'd pulled out me cutlass and run the lubber through.

If it would have gotten me a reservation to the hottest seat in Disney World, I'm all for it.

Is this possibly hygiene related? Did ya happen ta have yer finger in yer nose when you asked?

Probably. I leave it up there all the time.

Dumb tourists.

So it's dumb to visit an attraction I like? Well slap my butt and call me an idiot then.

Not once were the heads (that's sailor talk) mentioned. Scratch that, there was a mention and a photo now that I think of it. And also while I'm thinking about it, that photo was Ms. Hucifers idea. We need to get you some help young lady. For other readers, she made me do it. Yes, I'm ashamed. It was me. I took that photo of the mouse, duck, and many of their friends in the stalls. Not one of my proudest photos. Who'd known it'd make the tabloids.

That was the best part of your TR! Because it was my suggestion.

That was a mighty big paragraph about spoons, Cap'n.

Yer humble friend and servant

My own personal servant? Sweet!

Well, that's embarassing. I think I'm going to get my address and phone number tattooed on my arm so kind strangers can call my loved ones if I wander off.

That wouldn't be a horrible idea.

You win!

I already won. A wooden spoon, remember? But thanks.

 

[All7OfUs]

I'm totally calling Social Services. What's your number?

They are welcome to come and find me!!!

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Another great installment Hucifer! The spoon was just cracking me up. It does make you wonder what strange things go on in the minds of some people.

 

[hucifer]

They are welcome to come and find me!!!

Hopefully you didn't hide the weapon. It will be covered with your fingerprints and your children's buttprints.

Another great installment Hucifer! The spoon was just cracking me up. It does make you wonder what strange things go on in the minds of some people.

Thank you! And yes it does. I thought that was the weirdest thing a person could buy in Disney World.

I see your trip report has been permanently moved to the "Completed" section. That's kind of sad. The end of an era.

Our outhouse have been the recipient of all kinds of various and sundry items- notwitholding my shoe one time, entire rolls of our "John Wayne" paper, and old copies of Lenin's writings. 'Tis true, I swear it. I'm sure it could hold a wooden spoon...

 

[hucifer]

Quoting you: Bratus913 is too busy for the DIS these days.

Okay, but her name was something like Lucindifer wasn’t it or am I just making that up? Also was the 913 her birthday or address? If it is her birthday she’s 3 days after me (and many years earlier). If it is her address you just helped my stalking database.

Her real name is Lucinda but we call her Cindy. Her screen name is Bratus913...yep, that's her birthday. Oops. I've said too much.

Quoting you: He also didn't look down when I showed him a little leg.

Try shaving them next time.

I thought some men like the au naturel look.

Quoting you: Are you saying my *** looks big in these pants?

Who can tell under that poncho?

Like the poncho could hide THIS huge ***?

Quoting you: Oh my God, Lou...you're right.

Nothing to add here. I just wanted to hear that again.

I was shocked that you were.

Quoting you: I love its new age music, giant golf ball, 80s fonts, lighted sidewalks, dancing fountain, those spinning thingees, and just the general feel of it. And that’s just Future World.

Very nice, accurate description.

Whoa...is that...a compliment?

Quoting you: Then I left, thumbing my nose at Le Cellier as I passed. Stupid six-month waiting list.

They had plenty of seats. But seating a vegetarian at a steakhouse seems a bit of a waste.

Then they should remove their vegetarian entrees off the menu and we won't be tempted to come.

Quoting you: The man hears me, looks up, and warns his son that I was eavesdropping, and that I looked like trouble.

No doubt they heard about you stranding foreigners in the park.

He said he would be FINE!

Quoting you: I was happy. And people could clearly see that.

They probably thought you were nuts and were wondering what you were doing out alone and unsupervised.

That's also possible.

Quoting you: I immediately turn into the nearest store I could find. It is a little toy shop in the United Kingdom.

Yes because if someone forgot something in the bathroom the most logical place for them to look for it would be a toy store.

Hey, if they're silly enough to buy a wooden spoon in Disney World, maybe they're desperate enough to walk into each store to find it.

Quoting you: Yes, I went with alliterative nonsequitors.

How were they? Even though I’m not a vegetarian (in case you couldn’t tell) I’ve been meaning to try those. They sound delicious.

Rather bland, actually. They sound better than they taste.

I don't know WHAT to say to this reply, except...



....Oh, and you TOTALLY ninja posted! You got me.

 

[marvali]

Okay, oh mighty Goddess of Trucking, I have finally caught up! I find myself exhausted from the ride, yet anxious for more, more, more... So looking forward to that next breath-taking installment on the hucifer Truck'n Roller Coaster! (I'm guessing Jakie isn't reading all of this since she would be greatly affected by this ride due to her motion sickness)

 

[All7OfUs]

It's an art. What can I say?

Hey Marvali! Glad to see you pop in here. I'm also glad to see you're enjoying the fruits of my labor. Goddess of Trucking? That's quite a title. I like it.

I gave Jakie a copy of the TR, yes. However, it was a bit edited from the final. In order to make it funnier for posting, I had to highlight some of her less fine qualities.

Edited: Ninja posting- not wiping with our John Wayne paper.

LOL. Got it.

 

[marvali]

Hey Marvali! Glad to see you pop in here. I'm also glad to see you're enjoying the fruits of my labor.

Been lurking for a few days (ninja subscribed) but finally decided to post so you knew I was there. Oh, and as a kid I was always offended by the Marvin K. Mooney book.......nobody loves me, everybody hates me.......blah, blah, blah, blah!

Goddess of Trucking? That's quite a title. I like it.

Yeah, I tried to coin that one in my post on glenn's PTR thread. Only fitting, wouldn't you say.....

I gave Jakie a copy of the TR, yes. However, it was a bit edited from the final. In order to make it funnier for posting, I had to highlight some of her less fine qualities.

Yes, just because the poor ole girl isn't as indoctrinated to what is important in life doesn't mean you should hurt her feelings......at least to her face!

And I get those looks sometimes when I go off with the Disney trivia..... I'll have to listen out for the crickets chirping next time!

 

[All7OfUs]

LOL. Got it.

Although, I must say without a certain level of skill, things might not go all that well in that either.

 

[Cap'n Keel]

I recall a Sci-Fi movie starring John Travola called BattleField Earth. Did you see it? Leverage. I loves being a pyrate.
