I like that. I'm gonna have to steal it.
The line... not the bag...
There seem to be two types of baggage returners (three if you count dumping them all in a pile).
The first kind is an oval or circle that brings up the suitcase from the bowels of the airport and then the bag goes round and round.
The second kind is where the bag comes out from behind a curtain, follows a track for a while then disappears behind another curtain. Eventually, it comes out again.
I think its a game they play back there, they rip off all the ties and ribbons and stickers, and each time throush they add another back onto the back until it's recogniczed.
Kind of like an old game show in reverse, "Camoflage".
I've always thought that while passengers are waiting and watching the bags come and go, there are baggage handlers on the other side watching as well.
"Hey, Bob. Here comes that big brown one with the orange ribbon again."
"Yup. That's what? It's second time through here?"
"Yeah. Let's take it off for a minute or two just to mess with people."
"Okay, you do that while I keep changing the order of the other bags."
NOW you got it!
You'd think that... and you'd be wrong. Pretty sure we've
always had to wait for that last bag.
Never happened to us either. But I'm sure there was a sinking sensation in your gut going on.
Absolutely. I was already thinking aobut what clothes I had to replace, shoes, books, liquor,,,,,,,,my mind shut down. Not to mention that I don't even have a suitcase to store them in!
"Hey Bob, let's take some of these bags and start putting them over here!"
that guy talking to Bob is about to have a contract put on himself.
That's weird. You'd think one of you would've seen it earlier. And I'm sure you weren't embarrassed in the least.
You are rigtht, NOT. I just think that they couldn't put it on the conveyor untill the gorilla got done playing with it.
A few years ago, I went to a higher end luggage store and bought Ruby some expensive luggage. The stuff is super lightweight and if it ever gets damaged (by you, the airline, the toothless cab driver.... doesn't matter) they'll fix it for free. If they can't fix it, they give you a new one.
Who needs a new toothless cab driver?
What a load of BS. I bet he could take plastic but can skim if he takes cash. Wouldn't you love to have a waiver that the driver has to sign before the trip starts stating that they will accept credit or you will not be liable for payment?
Or how about this, "So I owe you $30? And you won't take my credit card even though you said you could? No problem, I don't have any cash on me, but if you'll just wait half an hour or so, I should be able to get some cash for ya."
You are not far off from what DID happen a bit later on.
It looked pretty nice from the research I did.
Right, The Safari Inn in Murfreesboro Tenn. looked nice in the brochure, too. Remember that one?
Cockroaches were picketing the motel for having unsanitory conditions.
I'm calling hogwash. Oh, sure, you probably told Smidgy that you could save $200 by going a day early. But factor in the cost for the extra hotel day, plus meals and any incidentals and you're probably breaking even at best or even losing money.
Au Contraire ye of little faith. It really did save us 220 to fly previous day, Doubletree cost is 93 total with tax, about at a 12 buck taxi ride from there to Royal Pacific, but yes wie did eat at Fridays that night...We still ended up close to sixty extra bucks on the black side, plus the extra day, and I don't really count eating at Fridays, since even if we stayed home, we were goin g to eat something anyway.
The real reason is you saw an opportunity to go a day early on vacation at little to no cost and grabbed it. Which is of course the smart thing to do anyway.
Didn't i just say that?
Too bad you didn't take a snap of it. A large hot tub is a rare thing at a hotel.
Then again, I'd probably get annoyed if I'm trying to relax in the hot tub and every minute or two you come by doing laps.
Coronada Springs has the biggest one on properties. This one blew it away. when I first looked at it, I thought it was what must be a huge Warm Tub, and almost jumped in, whichy would have been a big mistake, it was around a 105 in there.
As I kept easing, slowly easing my way in, I kept hearing, "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" yeah, the Christmas Spirit was in me, so was pictureing teh lobsters atNarcoosee's.
I always think the same thing too. But then I either don't look (not one single time in Hawaii) or it's not far away enough to make a difference I guess.
I can easily get sidetracked on astronomy and such. Hey, wanna here my diatribe on Dusk and Dawn again?
It's good! Cast members just LOVE it when you bring it up to them.
What a great Smidgy shot. Boy she sure looks happy! :goodvibe
You forgot cough, hack, gag.
Marita, yu have a phrase for that,,, can't rember it now,,give!
Of course, cause you quit.
YES I KNOW I QUIT, OK, NOW LAY OFF
geesh
To me, thats more impressive then the upgrade itself. In my experience, rooms are
never ready before noon.
Well of course not, where you live it's pitch black at the stroke of noon, and it's also ten oclock then!
Two things.
1. Ive never been the type to peak at the Christmas presents before December 25, so I didnt even
glance at the other vids.
2. Is Diannes maiden name Parkinson? She did a great Price is Right job for the chair by the window.
Afaid you lost me in the price is right ref. never really seen it. wel, ok, except the blooper where teh one woman ran up aftetr being called and her tube top decided to not be so tubish anymore.
Wow! Nice score!
That is a pretty sweet deal. I was telling Ruby about it and she was impressed too.
Right now, the only rides you can't get front of the line access to is Forbidden Journey and Rip Ride, Rocket
Next time, go when the parks are empty. Itll make things a lot smoother for ya.
A revue is a show you view, no?
Yes, and i know where you are going here:
so, technically, you can review a revue, but you must see it twice, first, otherewise you are just viewing a revue, right? and oh gosh, look at the time.
Yeah, and Im sure the cute girls in the short skirts dont hurt none, either.
That would be Hip and HOP,, they were NICE girls.
Whats even funnier is that I have no idea if that was in the show or if you just made it up.
Spoiler alert:
Yeah, that was actually in the show, and well done too.
The
trash can didnt see you, Kemosabe?
TrashCan Man didn't see me, nor did the Walkin' Dude, or Tom Cullen or Larry Underwood or Nadine Cross,,,
Oh, boy! I cant wait to see what happens next! This is gonna be awesome!!
Right
Okay. Not quite as awesome as I was expecting, but
Bravo, Smidgy. Well done. Hip, hip and all that.
Ha, score one for Uni. But is that the only time you used the cards that day?
No, she used them often, but as time went on they were becomeing more and more unnecessary as people left their vacations to go back home as we moved further away from Thanksgiviing weekend.
Its been a long time, but
How could I get mad? Ive got nothing to compare it with. Ill take your word for it until I get the chance to see for myself, I guess.

:
Thats so weird. Ive heard the same thing.
Thanks for the chapter, dude!
