Operation Big Thunder: the Dole Whip Conspiracy COMPLETE

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

I did not know that. Ed, did you know that?

Is that a quote from The Lion King?
I swear it sounds like it ought to be.

(Oh, and I deserved that smack to the back of the head by the way)

If you want to get technical, my elevation remained relatively unchanged.

It’s not a mater of elevation it’s a mater of speaking proper South’rn.

Let me translate…

North = Up
South = Down (obviously)
East = Over
West = Out

From my house you would travel up to Delaware, down to Florida, out to DL or over to the beach.

(You can smack me for that one too )

Good catch, but Glenn beat you to it.

Yah… he beat me to the Jacuzzi reference too
(unless we’re both wrong, but either way I get zero for that one as well).

At least you got a big welcome, I just got pay back.

You both got payback. That's how I look at it.

Typo! Sorry. I meant CO=Capt Oblivious. Duh!

Now it makes more sense.

Thank you for my warm welcome.

Camille! Is that better?

I love parents who like to torture their kids in a smart way, makes for some really smart donkey's later on, teenhood will be seriously brutal. That's when all our smart donkey ways come back at us.

Me? Torture my kids? Where do you get these crazy ideas?

Don't you hate that?!? My son would do this to us every. single. time! Mackie only did it when we were in th grocery store with a grocery cart FULL of groceries. It's good to know other parents deal with the same things.

The Immutable Law of Toilet Usage states that children will only need to use it at the most inconvenient time. If they choose to use it, of course.

I love how you put a "So they had that going for them, which was nice."

Like I said, it's a versatile quote.

She probably thought she scored big time with a family of five's meal. You big meany!

Let it be known that I WILL fight old ladies for waffle fries.

I think they are signaling a certain Dis'er.

Ohhh, there's a set-up.

Thank you, y'all are good friends. Now I know I'll never have to stop there and I owe that all to you and your beautiful wife.

Don't ever let it be said that you didn't learn anything from my TR's.

Thank you Julie for breaking the news, I didn't want to risk hurting his feelings.

Capt. Poopy-pants is a good fit, huh?

[/QUOTE]

Glenn beat all the rest of us to it but I agree that this is most certainly the lie.
I don’t see a hot tub in any of the pictures and it ain’t noted in the realtor’s listing tied to the link you supplied.

Nice job of ferreting that out so quickly Glenn.
I had to think about it for quite a while.

Obviously…

Now watch…
Mark will come back and say that ain’t it and I’ll look like a fool.

Again…

And as usual.

Just taking guesses for now...your research skills are impressive. Then again, those pictures are the same ones I saw when we booked the place several months ago. How often do you think they update their site?

Yes. And Julie has photographic proof on her FB picture albums clearly showing Sarah waste deep in the ocean last year.

Again, more impressive research. You guys are going all out. Is she waist-deep while swimming with me?

Worse. Cubs box scores.

Unfortunately, the state of my baseball team prevents me from making Cubs jokes this year.

Duh. That's why I unloaded my DVC points on some poor schulb and sent him instead.

What a moron! He deserves whatever abuse you send his way.

I'd rather go in August when it's really hot.

Umm...yeah...

Who are we kidding? We'd go to Death Valley in the summer if a Disney park was there.

Rob beat you to Point Break, but you beat him to Star Trek.

That's what I get for taking the time to put 2 answers in one post.

I'm still finding glitter in places you don't even wanna know about!

+1 You're right in the thick of things.

Who wants to be a Millionaire?

I do!

Oh, sorry. +1

Mark, sorry I've fallen behind.

I can:

1) Blame a certain DIS meet with a friend of yours?

Sure, I'll buy that. Trying to keep him in line is exhausting.

2) Blame it on my just being lazy in checking my subscribed threads?

Actually, it's a little of both, and dealing with the nursing home, etc., and trying to get Mark ready for his trip to Vegas tomorrow.

No problem. Life happens while we're trying to avoid it on the DIS.

Love the updates. But I think the real reason for your sunburn at least is that awful hat you are wearing and the sun reflecting off of it on to your skin directly. That hat is almost as bad as the t-shirt you wore when I met you.

Well, I could have worn my Cubs hat that I got at Wrigley last summer. But I wanted to show my support for a truly awful team this time around. Gotta prove I'm not a bandwagon fan.

Seriously, great update, and what a great place. Mark and I love those kinds of vacations. I may have to get the details from you of the where, the approximate cost, etc., if we should ever decide not to go to Disney one year (yeah, like that's going to happen).

I spotted the lie!

I'll be happy to send you any info you'd like. I even posted the rental listing!

Honestly, I'm usually good after a couple of days sitting at the beach rather than a whole week. But lots of other people feel differently!

Is that a quote from The Lion King?

Are you sure you still want to meet up? That's a lot of smacks I owe you.

I've been scoring the "lie" points differently. Everyone gets only one guess, but a point goes to everyone who correctly identifies it. That way you can still earn points when you're not one of the people who happens to be logged on when I post an update.

Ahhhhhhh… Bach.

Very magnanimous of you.
That makes this next question worth answering then…

Just taking guesses for now...your research skills are impressive. Then again, those pictures are the same ones I saw when we booked the place several months ago. How often do you think they update their site?

Not sure how often the pictures would get updated, but the high-end upgrade in question was also not noted in the list of amenities. Generally when you install something in a vacation rental that ought to attract additional prospects (and thereby allow you to raise the asking price another five Benjies or so) you’d make a point to list it.

Does that mean I’m correct? Nope, but it is the logic I using


As for “impressive research skills”, you’ve read my TRs (I don’t know why, but you have).
So you also know that when it comes to researching details, I can gnaw on a bone until there ain’t nary a scrap left.

Are you sure you still want to meet up? That's a lot of smacks I owe you.

I’ve been dope slapped before (by my DW to be specific and regularly might I add).
But then again you’ve been known to earn yourself a few here and there.

I tell ya’ what… we’ll keep track from here on. I’ll even spot you the two from that post, so you’re up +2 on that score.
Payable whenever we do finally run into one and other.

 

[glennbo123]

ahhhhhhh… bach.

Nice!

But you can’t earn anything from my responses so…
No points this round, James.

Wow, Bambi's gonna be ticked when she reads what you wrote about her...

Again, more impressive research. You guys are going all out. Is she waist-deep while swimming with me?

Back to the drawing board....

Sure, I'll buy that. Trying to keep him in line is exhausting.

Especially since I have minions that will push you in front of a bus for me.

The logic certainly makes sense. I was just pointing out that things may have changed since that listing was posted online.

I'm going to guess that we've both earned enough from our wives so that we probably don't need to increase the abuse on each other.

Nicely done, Radar.

Don't make Glenn angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

Wow, Bambi's gonna be ticked when she reads what you wrote about her...

Back to the drawing board....

Maybe...there are a couple of different guesses out there. You could always try Andy's shotgun approach.

With his elbows up, too.
