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

[hucifer]

I can't see the Space Shuttle, but I can identify the Atlantic Dance Hall...it's a win in my book.

Well heck, I can see the Dance Hall any time. Not so much with the SS. What the heck is that, anyway? Is it really a Dance Hall? I've never been so I claim ignorance on that.

I always feel like you're talking just to me.

I am....shhhh.

What IS that???

Some sort of cupcake dessert thing. You could paint works of art using frosting on white chocolate. Except there were a limited number of available colors. And it was too thick to paint with.

Adorably cute!

I can't mock this because I do it all the time--ESPECIALLY at Disney World.

Yep. I'm definitely a morning person.

I am still here ya know!

I write the most disgusting parts with YOU in mind.

According to our friend Loubon, he is on a self-inflicted ban from the Disboards. Don't ask, you really don't want to know the details. Something about getting offended by a refillable mug thread, I think. Anyway, his self-inflicted ban doesn't stop him from lurking. Or replying. So he started e-mailing me his comments and I promised to post them here for everyone else's (read: mine) enjoyment and displeasure.

Without further ado...I bring you...

Loubon.

I don’t usually read trip reports that are on page 3 and I especially don’t read vegetarian trip reports (I don’t know what that is that you ordered but it looks like it needs a haircut). But when you start quoting things I didn’t say that could get dangerous (and probably very entertaining) so I felt I better weigh in. However, since there were no pictures of Jakie or postal equipment from the 19th century I kept dozing off and have nothing to add at this time. BTW spell check doesn’t like the way Jakie spells her name (and I’m not about to tell Microsoft they’re wrong) and I don’t feel I know her well enough to add her to the custom dictionary. Please tell her from me how inconvenient she is.

First of all, I'm surprised that you bother to even scan the third page of the trip report boards for something this pathetic. Maybe I need to beg for readers in other TRs?

Second, that dish was a million times better than any charred flesh meal I've ever had.

Third, Jakie is starting to consider changing the spelling of her name. All because of you. See kids, you really CAN make a difference.

Quote by NMAmy: I always feel like you're talking just to me.

Wait until she starts quoting things you were just thinking. That will really creep you out. Trust me on this.

It creeps me out, too. To get inside Lou's brain is rather...unsettling.

Quote from you: Dan tells me that the boy was being very good during my absence, and that they were having a great time. Without me.

No doubt booze and women were involved.

I wouldn't put it past Dan. Or Patrick.

As for the space shuttle I saw it a few years ago right outside the ‘50s PT. Everyone was looking up in every different direction. So I whip out my Internet enabled phone, go to the NASA site, watch the countdown and then look in the direction they told me. Imagine on the 4th of July if you stood in front of your house in Michigan and looked at my house in New Jersey and I lit a roman candle that was a dud and only sent up one flare about three feet into the air. Got that mental picture? There you go. You’ve now seen the shuttle from WDW.

At least you got to check the box next to "Witness Space Shuttle Launch" on your Things To Do Before I Die list.

PS How long do you think it will take before someone says WTH is going on?

Depends on how attentive this audience is. Considering the fact that I keep ending up on page 3...unlikely.

It will be our little joke.

Not to quibble, or call you out on your Seinfeld knowledge, which you have already proven is vast, but wasn't Art Vandalay an architect? Or was he an importer/exporter? One of those. But when was he a Dr.?

Sorry you got shafted on the shuttle thing. Next time: binoculars.

I gave Art Vandalay an honorary title.

I don't think binoculars can see through clouds. Funny enough, this underprepared overpacker did NOT bring any on the trip.

Hmmm...true. X-ray vision goggles then?

Art has most definitely earned his honorary title. And then some. Good ole Art.

The funny thing about this is that Lou started quoting things that I was thinking. Namely this:

After all the hoopla over squash and veggie burgers with big chunks of corn, I figured we were already on rocky terrain--I wasn't touching the hairy looking meal with a ten foot pole. Either literally or figuratively. I just took it on faith that it tasted better than it looked. I didn't want all the vegetarians thinking I had some kind of axe to grind.

 

[Peter Panic Attack]

Back inside, I stop to talk to Michelle. “How does the teacher prefer to be addressed? I’ve been calling him Art before I realized he had a PhD.”

I wasn’t aware that a person could earn a doctorate in "trucking". What was the title of his thesis paper……”A Crack of Hope: an indepth look at the affects of suspenders on the trucking industry”

One With The Pit Stains announces that we have a guest presenter today

Is it just me…..or have you actually become more disrespectful since you learned Art was a Phd? I think you’re an anti-doctite……..a raaaaaaaaaaaabid anti-doctite.

Soon enough it was time to go on our field trip to Orlando Post Office, where we could watch real-time transportation and distribution happenings right in front of our eyes. I had worked in a general mail facility one summer between college semesters, so I wasn’t exactly unfamiliar with it all. But still…how can you NOT get excited about this trip?

Ummm…..because it’s a field trip to the post office. Honestly, are they even necessary anymore?

Then he led us inside, through a secret door and down a hall.

A secret door? Did you guys have to tap the third stone to the left of the revolving bookcase before you slid down a pole into a secret subterranean postal lair? Because....that would be a post office tour worth experiencing.

I had to give up. That thing was gone. I would have even settled for the flash of fire. Curses

When I saw the space shuttle from WDW…..which incidentally was probably the single most greatest thing I’ve ever witnessed in my whole entire life…..it left a big white trail behind it. Maybe you were preoccupied by all of the exciting memories from your big day at the post office.

 

[mmeb144]

I just want to go on record as saying that Jakie spells her name cool!

Way to make her feel better, dude. At least imaginary Loubon tried to make her feel better with the Michigan/Jersey/Roman candle dud thing.

Cupcake puzzle thing = ability to leisurely consume fabulous creme brulee and Irish coffee largely unpunctuated with "Are you done yet? Can we go now? Are there rides here?" Therefore, best. dessert. ever.

 

[PrincessV]

Space shuttle: one. Hucifer: zero.

Ahem.

Sorry - couldn't resist. But, truly, it fell far short of exciting. In the words of Leo, then aged 4: "That's it? I want ice cream."

In fact, go ahead and look for vegetarian meals on the menus for the upper scale restaurants in Disney World. Go ahead. I’ll wait. Okay, you back yet? And what did you find? A bunch of Pasta With Vegetables on just about every menu, right?

Ye-ep.

So if you hate fish and don’t eat meat, I highly recommend this restaurant

I'll add, though, that if you love fish, it excels there, too!

I called home and when Patrick got on the line, he said, “Hi Mama! Mama bye-bye.”

Aaawww!

And yes, I really was going to bed at nine o’clock. Sue me.

Truck Talk is tiring.

 

[NMAmy]

Nobody puts Baby in a corner or hucifer on the FOURTH page!

Hope everything is okay, pal!

 

[PrincessV]

This is mostly a test. Because I can't seem to see the last page of your TR. Maybe if I post something, it'll let me in??? Here goes...


ETA: It worked! WHAT is going on with the DIS lately?!

Now... where are you? opcorn:

But it was really really really tasty. Honest. Once you get past all the hair.

Mock if you will, but Art was one educated trucker.

Is it just me…..or have you actually become more disrespectful since you learned Art was a Phd? I think you’re an anti-doctite……..a raaaaaaaaaaaabid anti-doctite.

I am NOT an anti-doctite!

Ummm…..because it’s a field trip to the post office. Honestly, are they even necessary anymore?

Not really. Unless you consider it more of a museum tour.

A secret door? Did you guys have to tap the third stone to the left of the revolving bookcase before you slid down a pole into a secret subterranean postal lair? Because....that would be a post office tour worth experiencing.

Now you've ruined the whole experience for me. Thanks.

You hurt me. You hurt me real deep.

I just want to go on record as saying that Jakie spells her name cool!

Thanks for sticking up for her. This crowd is tough.

Way to make her feel better, dude. At least imaginary Loubon tried to make her feel better with the Michigan/Jersey/Roman candle dud thing.

Loubon's Ghost is a kinder, gentler version of his former self.

Cupcake puzzle thing = ability to leisurely consume fabulous creme brulee and Irish coffee largely unpunctuated with "Are you done yet? Can we go now? Are there rides here?" Therefore, best. dessert. ever.

That's true. And don't think that I didn't appreciate being able to enjoy every single meal without the drama that goes with it.

Ahem.

Sorry - couldn't resist. But, truly, it fell far short of exciting. In the words of Leo, then aged 4: "That's it? I want ice cream."

Ahh...thank you. That was nice.

Ye-ep.

You know what I'm sayin'?

I'll add, though, that if you love fish, it excels there, too!

That actually makes sense.

Truck Talk is tiring.

It does tear to wear one out. No one here seems to appreciate that but you.

Nobody puts Baby in a corner or hucifer on the FOURTH page!

Hope everything is okay, pal!

I thought I was only as pathetic as the third page. This fourth-page crap is surprising, even to me.

And yes! I'm great! Time for another update, huh?

Now... where are you? opcorn:

Ummm...I gave up on my own thread. Like it's even way too pathetic for me to bother with anymore. I honestly never thought I would see the day when someone would bump this thing.

It's my fault, isn't it? It was too much pressure when I told you that I trust you to finish.

 

[Jiminy'sGirl]

Huci - I will make you a deal.... I'll finish mine if you finish yours!!!!

 

[hucifer]

It's my fault, isn't it? It was too much pressure when I told you that I trust you to finish.

Not at all! LOL. In fact, most of the report is written already. It's just that I usually post my updates from work, but I download the pics from home. And I have been forgetting to download the pictures lately and so that means I cannot post. Or...I guess I could post, but then you wouldn't have my awesome pictures to go with the witty prose. And who really wants that?

In fact...yesterday....I went as far as copy/pasting the next segment into a reply and then went to look for the pics when I realized that...doh! I had not downloaded them yet. I will do that this weekend.

Huci - I will make you a deal.... I'll finish mine if you finish yours!!!!

This sounds boarderline kinky.

I like it.

 

[PrincessV]

Huci - I will make you a deal.... I'll finish mine if you finish yours!!!!

And I'll add to it... I'll do one for my next big trip if you come back to this one!
(Um, yeah... I hit a major writer's block on my blog-thingy. I actually miss TR writing!

Yay!

 

[Connie96]

Ummm...I gave up on my own thread.

I was starting to believe that you really meant that!!

...so, I was pretty psyched to find there is a forthcoming update!

Looking forward to it!

(Um, yeah... I hit a major writer's block on my blog-thingy. I actually miss TR writing!

Well, if you do ever go against your own promise to not write another TR again, I will be all over it! (Just shoot me a PM so I know to look for it.)

I was starting to believe that you really meant that!!

...so, I was pretty psyched to find there is a forthcoming update!

Looking forward to it!

Why, thank you! Like I said, I was all ready to post it yesterday. I just need to download some pictures and it will be all ready for those interested parties.

 

[mmeb144]

Count me in as an "interested party"!
