[bankr63]

And thanks alot for the Publix name change. It just so happens that I shop at Publix, so now every time I go grocery shopping I'm going to think of you Nebo. I just hope to goodness sakes I don't call the store by your reworked name while I'm shopping, in the line of a Fruedian slip!

We shop at Publix every trip to Florida, and I am now tainted too. But I don't think it's Nebo I'm going to be fixati,,, uh, thinking of now...

Yes it is a bit Nipp(l)y out today.

And what the heck is a Whipp1e that it would get censored?!? I googled the word and there is absolutely NOTHING that comes up that is even remotely risque

stop it Clark. I mean, Mark.

I have no idea.
Really.
I did run into that happening when a couple times I talked about the actor who played Robert Petrie but at least that
I could understand, that name is just SCREAMING to be censored.

Well now my fellow comrades are going to be after me but I just could not resist

Hi X Factor,,, sorry, most of your post was in mine, and it doesn't come through. (hmm,,,that sounds like it's begging for asterisks too, doesn't it?)

I liked that line too.

Why on earth was Mr. ******* asterisked out though?

edit: it bleeped me too! very, very strange. Where's your girl Oh Mari to explain?

I didn't even know it was blocked until you said so. Beats the snot out of me why.

Diane likes Disney, beer, wine and cursing?


She's like my long lost twin!

Spiffy, absolutely spiffy!

You can't say Mr. W but you CAN say "Pubix?" Something's wrong here.

I laughed about the Smidgy's handwriting. My boss has a chicken scratch that even HE can't read. One time he brought me in a birthday card that he had given his elderly mother. She couldn't read it and he couldn't remember what he wrote so he brought it to me to see if I could translate. I did.

Ok, great! How's next tuesday sound? We are just a short ride from Providence and you can then decipher her next list for me.

Love the aside! You can take us grocery shopping anytime!

I'm all caught up now, it took me a few days.

~~Dawn

Well, Ok, but you push the cart.
OHHH

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!

No, seriously.

This was supposed to be included in the last chapter,
"You know the top part of the cart that folds forward? Where most people put bread, eggs and other stuff they don't want to get smashed? "

Well, before you put your bread and English Muffins there, just think for a second what is USUALLY sitting in that same.
Exact.
Space/Spot.

That's right, a baby/toddler in training pants, if you are lucky. You know, the kid that goes around the entire store, facing backwards! Ten minutes ago, his butt was where you are now placing the Marble Rye.

Your welcome

A hit and run?? tsk, tsk.


I rather prefer "leaving the scene of an accident"

Boy, Smidgy really wanted that bleepin' garlic, huh?

Yes, she was waiting with Hated breath.


Brings back fond memories of my first job at a CPA firm... my clients were all doctors and lawyers, and one of the docs had handwriting so bad he typed everything. But his typing was about like Nebo's trip repo... uh, I mean, um, ...
So I can relate.

Oh, nice going CANDY, mke fun of my typing now , huh?


Take all the asides you want! We'll be here to keep things stirred up.

ya think?

Oh, and by the way.....
Roll Tide.

What a shame it had to be Saban though,,, and no,, I don't like ND either!

Dang !! I want a wife so I can use that line.

Also, I want one (a wife) to cook and clean and do laundry. But ... I'm guessing my hubs wouldn't like it if I had a wife, so......

I can't use your funny joke. Which sucks. Guys get to have all of the fun.

Ok, you want a version that you can use? Allright, I'll work on it. But those kind of lines usually only come to me when I am combining copious quantities of collective cordials.......
and booze,
so this could get ugly again.

but I'll do it for you.

That's why I like shopping at Publix (which my Mom, rest her soul, called "The Public"), they ALWAYS have plenty of antibacterial wipes in the dispensers by the carts. And make use of them we do!!!

One of our former preachers is still a friend on Facebook, even though he was moved to a different district several years ago (a Methodist thing). He, an Auburn guy, and his lovely bride, a FL gal, even raised up a hearty "Good Luck to the Bear-Worshipping Sabaanites" post before the game.

Really? I never heard of that, I wonder if my place has them?/????

Wow, a woman after my own heart, A Bear Bryant reference.

 

[buzz1121]

Hey Nebo!

I'm going to try to catch you while you are logged in. When is your Spring trip to Disney?

Oh yeah, I just might be going grocery shopping at Publix this evening.

Wish me luck!!!

 

[smidgy]

we still write our meal tickets out by hand at the restaurant(no computer there!) and the cook has no problem at all deciphering my handwriting. and I'm writing in a hurry there. and he's from Mexico. (just sayin')

Ah Ha! So it was Spanish you were writing in! And what is the cook's vision like? 20/20? Poor Steve needs your lists writ large!!!
Of course I still have him lying in traction in a hospital bed, so I don't even KNOW who this guy is that's doing your shopping...

 

[Xclusive2WDW]

Hi X Factor,,, sorry, most of your post was in mine, and it doesn't come through. (hmm,,,that sounds like it's begging for asterisks too, doesn't it?)

Hmmmmm, uh yeah it does, one minute. . . Smidgyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

(That's what I would do when my step-grandfather got Alzheimer's, he would say crazy stuff because he got confused easily but to him he was not confused. At the time I was really small so I would just say "I'll be back" and go running and yelling "Grandmaaaaaaaaa" )

Not saying your losing it or anything Nebo. . . I mean, it's kinda sorta gone already Just kidding

 

[nebo]

You know, Ok, I know, we all have chores that we must do, no matter what, or how unpleasant they may be. But, face it, we realize, that if we don't do them, they are just not going to be done, right? Whether it's changing the litter boxes, or picking up all the dog parc in the yard, once again, it's an ugly, UGLY job,,,,,,but somebody has to do it.

Ok, nuff said. Here we go..................

Beaten path? meh. Now beaten eggs!

Scrambled, not stirred. (the name is Ponz, just Ponz)

I thought it was Ponz, James, Ponz.


Always listen to both asides if you want to get the foray straight. You don't want a crooked foray.

There was a crooked foray amidst a crooked hoard,
It was from a crooked TR upon a crooked board.
It spoke of crooked carts, within a crooked store.
And all the crooked readers shouted out for more.

I have not thought about the crooked man in 50 years. WOW





Verily I say onto thee, "Tho thine answers may be vaccuous, the word 'pubix' hath already been uttered (didn't say uddered, so don't even think about it, mister!!) therefore a very different "V" word hath succumbed to the vagaries of the voluminous vulgate."



Yeah... I think I did.

Ok, well done. But I have one more v word for you now that you hurt yourself doing that,,,,,,,,,
Vicodin!



Pretty much anything that starts with you and ends with "by myself" is just about guaranteed to end poorly.


Uh, yeah, it does seem that way doesn't it?


I remember that commercial. Although that's going back a ways.

What? They are not still running Spaghettios commercials? Thought I just saw it. Oh that's it, I'm doomed, doomed I say, just doomed.

And I've never had it.

What? Yep, I'm doomed.

I can't believe it! It's amazing how one missed keystroke can totally change a word, isn't it?

Boy you leave out the hyphen in Winn-Dixie and everything's different!

Wait, you're saying there's supposed to be a hymen in Winn Dixie?
now they tell me,,,,,,,,,,,,, and just leave it,,,, ok?

I won't if you won't talk about Sobeys.

I've heard of that name, where is it?

So just how often is that line used in your neck of the woods? Hmmm???

You're right, sorry, and yes, used way too much.

Dairy-ere? Like rump roast?

thank you for getting that, and yes, that is used excessively here also.


Because if you went to your doctor and said, "Hey Doc. How about a handicap sign for my car?"
He would reply with, "You're still driving?!?!?!"

Strange thing is, my doctor sees nothing wrong with me still driving cuz my one eye can stilll read 20/40 lines.
However, he's 112 years old and drives a Panzer himself.

Sheesh. You and your typos. That's EYERONY.

Eyerony, the Carpentersville Treat!


Now that was good. I'm willing to bet that 70% percent of readers didnt get that. Unfortunately, we have no cable cars here.


Some people need to be led to the obvious, don't'cha think?

Really? You didn't read my opening did you?

The funniest sign I saw recently (on the net, not in person) was a sign that said:
If the red light is on, do not open the door
Door may be opened when the green light is on

Then it was repeated in braille...

Actually, I have come across signs like this, and no, It's not a stupid fluke.
When a hard of sight person lays there hand on it,
the braille signage then comes up in, like you said, saying either green or red, so they don't have to actually see the colors themselves.

It's getting more and more popular but the hard part is getting the sight impaired to KNOW this system.

And yes, Ponzi, I made this whole thing up just to try to make you feel stupid,,,,, at least for a couple of seconds. [/B

Solved. Mr. Whipp1e

But that is weird.

No kidding. I've run it backwards and upside down,,, and nuttin!

cjlvsccm already had the perfect response for this one.

I'm sorry, I'm no longer speaking to her.





What is with you? Do you really want me to photoshop you with a melon head or a lettuce head?

You know, believe it or not,, my thoughts when I'm writing are not always 100 percent focused on you, front row, center, at all times. Yes, I do have my lapses, so, as Belloch told Indy,,,, shoot if you must!

You were thinking of me? Aw... shucks...

Oy, what timing these posts have sometimes....geesh.

Heh. That was good.

Glad you liked it

Seriously? A store that big and no pharmacy?

Nope, and they don't accept credit cards either,,, that's one of the reasons they are so cheap.

I remember that.

I wish you could have been there with me to hear the
ladies behind me in line holding their Chardonnay gasp,when I said that.

Kids these days... they just can't do simple math, can they?



Although senility trumps poor math every time.

It soitenly did this time, Ollie!





A couple more trips like that and you'll get there! Keep trying!

Thanks my friend, well done.

 

[nebo]

noticed you made it a point to say "holding HANDS" Good idea to clarify these things around here. *just sayin*

Careful young lady

Nebo, you know I am a fan of your "aside" chapters. The events in your daily life are every bit as entertaining as your experiences at Disney!

And while you were delightfully verbose there is one thing you never have and that is vapid verbosity!

Even if I order it through cable I can't have it?

I hadn't thought of it before but going in a grocery store after having been in bright sunlight must be eerily akin to going into some of the moderately dark indoor queues at Disney.

yeah, you are kind of right there. I'ts also the flourescent lights that I think do me in.

And thanks alot for the Publix name change. It just so happens that I shop at Publix, so now every time I go grocery shopping I'm going to think of you Nebo. I just hope to goodness sakes I don't call the store by your reworked name while I'm shopping, in the line of a Fruedian slip!

And again, that's what makes this job fun to do, payback's like that.

Great chapter Nebo!

Nebo, I have read every one of your TR's but admittedly not every post, so forgive me if I missed this somewhere along the line but why don't you wear sunglasses?

Irene,,,,,,no,,, IRony,,,,,,,,,yeah, i like that,,,, you have no idea how many sunglasses I have at home,,,you name it,,, I've got it. Gray , green,,, aviator yellow,,,, the ones from the eye doctor,,,,, many times i've worn TWO sets of them prior to the incredible admission to ride,,,,,'
Peter Pan,,,,,,,,,but the difference in in door vision just wasn'[t worth walking around outside and not seeing either cuz it's too dang dark.

And when driving,,,,no,,, I want all the light I can get,, unless it's right in my eyes,,,,I'lll flip a shade before I put on sunglasses,,,,, I don't know,, to me, they hide things.

Nebo was thinking of you Pkondz but that was after he thought of T-Man. He thought of you for a second, but then he saw something else that reminded him of T-Man so he put your avatar thought on hold and ultimately had to go so he could write a chapter on the T-Man thought association.

Um, yeah.

What'd she say?

Does anybody else have the word verbosity ringing in
their ears?

 

[Thumper_Man]

Ok work has been super busy lately. Haven't even had time to finish up the day on my TR, but after reading Nebo's last chapter, I came up with a T_Man song.

HELP!
(Originally written and performed by The Beatles)

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now my sight is going and I hope they find a cure.
Now I feel I've lost my mind, where's the open door?

Help me if you can, I'm falling down.
And I can't seem to find my way around.
Help me before I knock this display to the ground
Won't you please, please help me.

And now my body hurts in oh so many ways,
My dependence on the vikes, gets me through the day.
Now when I go shopping I forget what I came for
Was it beer or was it wine? I'll buy both to be sure.

Help me if you can, I'm falling down.
And I can't seem to find my way around.
Help me before I knock this display to the ground
Won't you please, please help me.

[smidgy]

see, we had it all worked out.. rather than Nebo miss out on seeing the park in the day time(by wearing sunglasses), we would collect fast passes to do the dark rides at night. until they started with that stupid fast pass return time enforcement!!! aargh!!!

Hmmmmm, uh yeah it does, one minute. . . Smidgyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

I can't help you dear. you started this with him, you're on your own!

 

[nowellsl]

That's right, a baby/toddler in training pants, if you are lucky. You know, the kid that goes around the entire store, facing backwards! Ten minutes ago, his butt was where you are now placing the Marble Rye.

Dang, I just read another post about someone afraid to put their cloths in the drawers at the hotel because, gasp, someone may have used them to put their dirty cloths in Now I've got to start worrying about the carts at the grocery store

Hey, I've worked in public schools for 33 years, I'm pretty sure I've been exposed to every germ out there

Awww man, the "he started it" doesn't work on you either, huh?

I try not to interfere in the banter between nebo and his .. um...followers..... fans..... minions? he gets in enough trouble on his own! (unless I can see an opportune time to add a little sumpton' sumpton' ..... )

Way to go T-man! But how would Nebo know that he knocked down the display because he can't see it........

 

[yellowtink]

Finally caught up. Took me a while, but I did. Great updates nebo. Loved smidgy's input as well. Can't wait to hear more.

 

[shan23877]

Great song Thumper Man!

Smidgy I think that since Minions are Universal property we should go with something more disney friendly. Maybe we could be Captain Nebo's Pirate Crew?
