It All Started With A Lie.....NEW 2/4! My Ode to Robert VanWinkle

[jcc0621]

ROCKY GIBALTER!!!!

Don’t all Mom’s?

Did you ever find out what happened that they needed the doctor for? I guess as long as it wasn't for the pilot you were okay

“Aw, he’s a weirdo.” Ya think???!! Sheesh.

Dude, I’ve never seen that and no I was going to see de-icing in ACTION!!! Well, yippee skippy! I started telling Andy how cool that was and maybe I bounced in my seat a few time, but heck I was excited. The guy next to Andy was laughing at me. Hey, dude, like I’m from like California like, and we like just like don’t like have like de-icing machines like there. Like, okay? [/SIZE]

Only you would be excited about this T

Anyway, our plane headed over to the “de-icing area” and we got the hose, dude. I decided it was my duty to assist the guy with the hose and point to spots that weren’t fully de-iced. He wasn’t very receptive to my assistance, but I felt it was my civic duty to ensure the safety of my fellow passengers. I’m good to have around, people. Trust me.[/QUOTE}

OMG! I can picture this in my head

It was so annoying and completely inappropriate, IMO.

Maybe he needs another job, becasue you know the economy is so good and all he can go right out and get another one

he’d had a bad night and asked if he could stay home. Oh, brother. Fine.

What constitues a bad night. I use my mother's rule for going to school. You only say home if you are bleeding, vomiting or have a fever. My mother sent me to school once with a broken arm (idn't know it was broken of course) and only took me to the doctor when the nun called her and said youmay want to take her, her arm is turning blue

UP NEXT: The brown folks are here and yes, we are invading your space! Bwuahahahahaha!!!!

 

[MeLaNie9]

UGH! I'm sorry! I'm knee deep in Girl Scout cookies, but I promise to get back to our regular scheduled programing ASAP, Cap'in!

What I wouldn't give to be knee-deep in GS cookies - Samoas to be exact!

Thanks for a little Robbie VW! I would never be excited about having to de-ice. As I fly out of Cleveland, its not so novel and it terrifies me

 

[lovealldisney]

It was nasty and bitter, much like my SIL, but that’s another story. Ahem.

I thought you liked you SIL?? Mines a real peach to heeheehe!

 

[hucifer]

ROCKY GIBALTER!!!!

Hot.

Anyway, that’s certainly not something you want to hear mid-flight, right? And me, the ever caring, compassionate person instantly freaked out. Not because I was concerned about the person, but because I was concerned about being diverted to another airport or having to go back to Orange County. I know, shame on me. I was waiting for my bubble to burst… for my web to unweave… for something to prevent me from my trip of lies. Ok, I was a little worried about who ever needed medical assistance.

I must admit, I would have been a TEENY bit concerned about my arrival time too.

I looked up to find Rocky staring at me. He had a weird look on his face, and didn’t look away when I made eye contact.

Hot.

I tried, really I did, so get some pictures, but it just wasn’t possible without being totally obvious.

Color me disappointed.

Dude, I’ve never seen that and now I was going to see de-icing in ACTION!!! Well, yippee skippy! I started telling Andy how cool that was and maybe I bounced in my seat a few time, but heck I was excited.

That's just weird.

Once we were on the bus, we had to wait forever and listen to the jack*** driver talk to his co-worker right outside the door about how much money he makes and how people don’t tip, etc. It was so annoying and completely inappropriate, IMO.

I hope you didn't tip him after that comment.

Did someone eat the fish?

As we approached the TSA area, there were tons of people with balloons and banners and American flags cheering. I turned to look around and saw a small group of soldiers getting off the not-monorail. I stopped to clap and got all verklempt. It was so sweet to see all the children with their Daddy’s and Mommy’s and all the parents welcoming their sons and daughters home. It was truly a beautiful sight and I wanted to hug them all and thank them.

I love you! And that totally made me cry.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

You absolutely brought the correct winter attire. It was freezing whilst you were here! :

I know! It was so hard to leave nice, warm Cali and head into the Arctic!

I'm beginning to wonder if there really WAS a trip.

Stop leaving us hanging!

Thanks for the kick in the *ss, Wendy.

Where the heck were you going in the ATL airport that you needed long underwear?!

I needed to be able to change in ATL for my arrival in MCO. I was still in Cali. weather gear.

Dude. Flying to Buffalo, we don't even get radio, let alone TV... let alone TV's playing RHOC!

It was pretty awesome! On the way home, you had to pay to watch, but the in-flight movie was free.

Sorry, I have to respectfully disagree, though I'll give it a solid 2nd place finish. #1 will always be Miami Int'l. Is Z on here? She'll back me up.

Ooh... I bet that one IS good!

Okay, you so owe me a new monitor for that one!

Full on funny, T. I'm glad you got a thrill with the de-icing, and I'm SURE you were helpful.

Yup. I'm sure I was his story of the day.

if you think de-icing is cool you need to see them plow snow off the runway

: Hmmm... I don't do snow.

Did you ever find out what happened that they needed the doctor for? I guess as long as it wasn't for the pilot you were okay

Nope. It was in the back of the plane, so I knew it wasn't the pilot.

What constitues a bad night. I use my mother's rule for going to school. You only say home if you are bleeding, vomiting or have a fever. My mother sent me to school once with a broken arm (idn't know it was broken of course) and only took me to the doctor when the nun called her and said youmay want to take her, her arm is turning blue

I think she mentioned him being tired. Honestly I didn't care. I was in WDW and he's in Kinder, what could he possibly miss.

Thanks for a little Robbie VW! I would never be excited about having to de-ice. As I fly out of Cleveland, its not so novel and it terrifies me

For this Cali girl, it was pretty nifty!

I thought you liked you SIL?? Mines a real peach to heeheehe!

Oh, I do. It's the other SIL (husbands SIL, actually).

I hope you didn't tip him after that comment.

Well, "I" didn't. coughcoughAndydidcoughcough

I love you! And that totally made me cry.

I forgot to add "husbands and wives". If I forget to say it, I think of you and Mitch often. When we were there in January, I knew it was your last weekend with him for a while, so I didn't bother asking you to come see us, but I do hope you make it over in July for a cocktail or four.

 

[jordanyosh]

Yay for an update! I am headed to WDW in a few hours!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Yay for an update! I am headed to WDW in a few hours!

Yay for a Disney trip! Have a blast and I hope you're flying out of the OC. That place is dreamy!

Thanks, I'd love too! Definitely won't need your thermals then.

I looked up to find Rocky staring at me. He had a weird look on his face, and didn’t look away when I made eye contact. Ewwww… weirdo. I nudged Andy awake and Rocky headed down the aisle to use the facilities. I told Andy what had happened and he replied with “Aw, he’s a weirdo.” Ya think???!! Sheesh.

Creeeepy!!!!

Let me just say Jackson-Hartsfield Airport is the BEST people watching airport EVER! O. M. G. We saw some doosies there… bionic woman springy shoes, man-pris and mandals up the ying yang….it was fabulous. I tried, really I did, so get some pictures, but it just wasn’t possible without being totally obvious.

OMG you must have been in heaven

Hey, dude, like I’m from like California like, and we like just like don’t like have like de-icing machines like there. Like, okay?

I would have thought that was cool too

Anyway, our plane headed over to the “de-icing area” and we got the hose, dude. I decided it was my duty to assist the guy with the hose and point to spots that weren’t fully de-iced. He wasn’t very receptive to my assistance, but I felt it was my civic duty to ensure the safety of my fellow passengers. I’m good to have around, people. Trust me.

OMG I can see you pointing out the window too

 

[hucifer]

Thanks for the kick in the *ss, Wendy.

This is too funny to give up on just yet. And you're welcome.

 

[Lauralee131]

I just gotta say that if you think the ATL airport has great people watching, come downtown where I work! Just on the 2 block walk to the parking garage you will see:

Babu - the crazy rasta-bearded, turban wearing barefoot Indian man who sits on the side of the garage, with a blanket rolled out next to him selling pipes, bowls, rolling papers and incense. And he's usually playing some kind of recorder thing like a snake charmer. I'd like to say though, that I'm in the nicest smelling parking garage in the city. And in Atlanta, that's really saying something!

Across from the parking garage is the hospital with what appears to be the biggest, and most lax, mental ward EVER. Crazies everywhere wearing flourescent stickers with the date on them showing that they're out on a day pass.

They wander the sidewalks like some surreal scene out of St. Peppers Vs. Zombieland movie, talking and yelling at themselves and others. Hookers. Pimps dressed like Huggy Bear. No lie - can't make this stuff up...wish I'd had my camera!

Men in women's clothing.

Men standing in a stupor in the middle of the sidewalk with their pants around their ankles and their "bidness" hanging out.

Big crazy women pooping as they walk down the sidewalk.

Same big crazy woman accosting construction workers saying "I know you're checking me out. I know you want me. NOW. Which oneaya'll gonna marry me?"

Drug addicts and homeless people.

Like the homeless man that was SCREAMING in my face last week while I was on the phone..."I WANNA GO TO SEATTLE! I WANNA GET ON UP OUTTA HERE. TAKE ME TO SEATTLE! I WANNA GET ON UP OUTTA 'LANTA"

Ahhh...can't wait to see the sights of New Orleans....

 

[praisehisname]

It was nasty and bitter, much like my SIL, but that’s another story. Ahem.

There's one in every family...

Let me just say Jackson-Hartsfield Airport is the BEST people watching airport EVER!

Hopefully it helped pass the time!

[puggymom]

Well apparently you realized I wasn't here yet and you were just waiting for me to show to continue.

Ok, I'm here, please continue, or will this be a repeat of the last one.


HMM... whatever happened to that trip report. Oh yeah, that's right.

 

[puggymom]

Anybody want to come out to play

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I'm here...
No pressure or anything, though.

 

[lovealldisney]

How about a snack everyone???

 

[jcc0621]

T is buried under girl scout cookies, but I know she won't sitch us...right T? Right? RIGHT????

 

[Parla]

What gives? I get on the disboards after months away. Find T's most recently started TR. Read all six pages.... now what?

I now remember that I used to take notes when I read these reports. I can't remember what all I wanted to say which is pretty sad for just six pages. But I did LOL at your de-icing story.

Take care!

 

[PrincessV]

Dang. I saw activity over here and thought maybe her TR'd been resuscitated!
