Operation Big Thunder: the Dole Whip Conspiracy COMPLETE

[FreezinRafiki]

Guess what I'm eating for lunch right now, as I respond to these answers?

Not that, I'm sure. I'll go with...reheated leftovers.

Are you suggesting that I'm not who I say I am?

You're clearly the Sausage King of Delaware.

I'm French, you idiot! Why do you think I am talking with this outrageous accent?

What are you doing in England?

Sigh. Julie was busy dealing with Dave as he had an irrational temper tantrum over a spilled soda. So I snapped this one.

She has taught you well.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Oh fer cryin' out loud!

You would have gone with the shawarma?

Awesome!

Love it!

Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?

But strangely appropriate, don't you think?

You work in our economy...eat our cheesecake...and still pass judgment.

They told us that when we picked ours up...caused us to have to split up, which was a pain. I like the old way better.

Me too.

Definitely this one.

That seems to be the consensus!

Yay, it's good to see that he hasn't been kicked out of the terra cotta army yet. Was he singing Doo Wah Diddy?

Oh, and Guy Smiley could be a muppets reference. He appeared in the Muppet Movie and the Muppets Take Manhattan.

+1 Nice job! I tried to sneak that one in there.

Shawshank Redemption

+1

Not a movie, but a Shakespeare play. Julius Caesar.

Dude... your TR just went to a Shakespeare reference...

+1 Yes, it did...and you recognized it!

Et tu Rob is obviously a Julius Caesar shout out. Now that Mark's gone all he's referencing Shakespeare.

You son of a gun!

I don't recall Shakespeare saying that.

It's about time I sneak one in on you!

This TR is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

"Sorry, folks! We're closed for two weeks to clean and repair America's favorite family fun park. Sorry, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!" is a Vacation reference

+1

flux capacitor is a Back to the Future reference

Thanks for the thoughts…
Just this morning it started to clear up a might.
We’ll see if that won’t hold up for a while.

On the upside, I’ve been doing a lot of volunteer work up at the school this week and that is always fun.
Too bad you don’t get paid for doing the fun stuff.

I always envy the people that find that place where their talents and joys interesect. Of course, I found that place for me as well, but no one will pay me to sit on the couch and watch football.

Sorry about that Chief

(nice reference though )

I’ll run it by the Great Carnac and see if he can divine the answer without ever before having seen the question. All I’ve got to do now is write down the question, place it in a hermetically sealed envelope and then find a way to sneak it inside that #2 mayonnaise jar which has been buried under Funk and Wagnall's porch since noon yesterday.

See if my car keys are there too, would you?

Well, you’re in charge of the oblivious…
I just thought I go after the obvious.

But not the movie quote, I guess?

As the joke says:
French military tanks come equipped with three reverse gears…
and one forward in case of attack from the rear.


I didn’t just say that out loud did I?

That the recruiter chastised y’all (but like I said, I’d have to think about it).
CM’s generally don’t ever “chastise”. But then again, if the recruiter was just playing the role in character, then I’ll but it.

At this point I’m suspecting that there was a little bit of tussling over who got to hold and punch the buttons on the communicator (and that the kids might even have had to fight you for it once in a while ).

Perhaps. "Chastising" could have been in character, as you said.

I could give clues that either confirm or deny this guess, as it seems to be a popular one. But I'm afraid any clues would give it away completely.

It happens… I’m still “generally” following the policy of responding to the whole update first, so I got beat on that one. “ka sura”. There are usually more points to be earned in the responses between updates (as Glenn is currently proving)

and those are still fair game.

I'm doing my best to keep 'em coming.

Casino Royale

Thanks for the hint.

And you're welcome.

I'm going with this for the lie. What she actually ate was a flatbread.

Pretty easy to make up those menu choices, isn't it? But her food may have been wrapped in the flatbread.

Shawarma = The Avengers

+1

I used that as a chapter title in my last TR, but hey, I probably wasn't the first to make that observation.

That's where it was. I knew I'd seen it before somewhere. Sorry I didn't give proper credit in the chapter there.

Not that, I'm sure. I'll go with...reheated leftovers.

I ate a burger.

You're clearly the Sausage King of Delaware.

I have to be careful how I respond to that one.

What are you doing in England?

Mind your own business.

She has taught you well.

When I left I was but the learner, now I am the master.

That's where it was. I knew I'd seen it before somewhere. Sorry I didn't give proper credit in the chapter there.

Not a problem. You did a better job setting it up as a joke, I just used it as a chapter title for our World Showcase travels.

 

[foodrocksluver]

I just read your whole TR ... while at work. Please don't tell my boss. I mean, you can, he's got a WDW luggage tag on his briefcase and drinks his morning coffee out of his 5 year old refillable mug.

Anyway, I've been laughing, crying, and snorting from laughing and crying.

I have noticed a lot of movie references, my favorite being the crack about your yutes. I love a good My Cousin Vinny reference almost as much as I love going to a diner and having my selection be either Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner.

Once again, Shakespeare, Macbeth


This is getting a little too classy for my taste. Quick, somebody tell a fart joke.

 

[afwdwfan]

Well, now we have a firm grasp of the obvious.

Sherlock Holmes

And stolen on a hint to Rob.

 

[afwdwfan]

Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?

This is a quote from a well known mustard commercial, but I'm going to pick it out for it's highly comical and appropriate use when these words were spoken in Wayne's World.

I used that as a chapter title in my last TR, but hey, I probably wasn't the first to make that observation.

[BThat's where it was. I knew I'd seen it before somewhere. Sorry I didn't give proper credit in the chapter there.

I just plan to plagairize the crap out of both of you when I write my TR.

+2

Although I'm also awarding +2 to Barry for setting these quotes up in the first place.

Not a problem. You did a better job setting it up as a joke, I just used it as a chapter title for our World Showcase travels.

We'll just call it a running TR gag.

I just read your whole TR ... while at work. Please don't tell my boss. I mean, you can, he's got a WDW luggage tag on his briefcase and drinks his morning coffee out of his 5 year old refillable mug.

And no problem! I wrote the whole thing at work. (don't tell my boss)

Anyway, I've been laughing, crying, and snorting from laughing and crying.

Hopefully not all over your screen!

Did you just say you were a fast cook? Are we to believe that boiling water soaks into a grit faster in your kitchen than any place on the face of the earth?

Perhaps the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove. Were these magic grits? Did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?

+1 Hey, Stuart Scott quotes that one during Sportscenter highlights.

I was going to write the joke about the pirate that Patrick shared on FB for Talk Like A Pirate Day, but I don't think I'm allowed to type it here.

Sherlock Holmes

And stolen on a hint to Rob.

+1 Stealing is approved, since I stole Glenn's WS joke.

This is a quote from a well known mustard commercial, but I'm going to pick it out for it's highly comical and appropriate use when these words were spoken in Wayne's World.

+1 Works for me!

I just plan to plagairize the crap out of both of you when I write my TR.

That won't be a problem, but I'm going to worry when Dave and Scotty start showing up in the pictures.

My Cousin Vinny. Although I'm not sure if it counts, since it was requested, in a sense.

How the heck did you know that? I'm starting to worry about you.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Mind your own business

Monty Python and the Holy Grail




I got busy and missed a number of fairly easy ones.

As for reading right over top of the Sherlock Holmes quote…
I just feel bad about that one.

 

[afwdwfan]

That won't be a problem, but I'm going to worry when Dave and Scotty start showing up in the pictures.

Hey, there's got to be comic relief. Somehow I have to find a way to work that picture of Dave sleeping into it. If Glenn can do it, I can too!

How the heck did you know that? I'm starting to worry about you.

I'm not sharing my secrets.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Oh nuts. If he had wrtten it as "mind your own beez-ness" I'd have gotten it!

 

[glennbo123]

I suppose I need to get a guess in for the lie. I'm torn between what Julie had for lunch and whether the kids had difficulty sharing the phone. Chicken flatbread sounds like the kind of thing Julie's been eating so far, so I guess I'll have to go with "there was some difficulty sharing the phone". Dang, I hate to guess that, because your kids are such s.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Oh nuts. If he had wrtten it as "mind your own beez-ness" I'd have gotten it!

That would have been more obvious, but you did get to most of the ones that were available today.
I’m just picking at the scraps that you and Andy left.




Now then…
I was rereading the current update to see if I saw any better candidates for the lie.

Nope.

Nothing stands out and over thinking it has not been a good strategy thus far.
So it’s time to officially go with the obvious (or the Oblivious as the case may be)
and officially chose the obviously wrong answer. Namely…
that the young’ens had one or two minor problems sharing the phone.





While I’m here…
The photo of “Smiley” also re-caught my eye as I was reading.
Considering the look on the faces of all the soldiers around him…
I’d say that the proper caption for this one ought to be:

“The smell of excellence!”
