Orlando Smackdown: Dis vs. Uni. Ch.16 Japan Hates me, Just Hates me 7-13

Sounds like you had a haunted drawer my friend. Not fun. It really wouldn't be a Nebo TR without some injuries though. You can always be counted on to deliver.

I'd want to see the sunrise in the MK too. Sounds cool.

Great score on Buzz Smidgy! You rock!

The Pole! Are they going to put an engraved plaque with your photo on it? "This is the spot where the famous Nebo once "stood"

Shooot,, if that was the case, I'd have plaques scattered all over the parks and resorts,, and all the way down from Chicago.

and that, dear Nebo, is the way to HOLD ON to a pole!!! tee hee. (kiss hug)

Oh, that's all that came through.

It's maxxed out!

Well, that was fun.

actually, once the initial thrill was over (in about 3 seconds) it was kind of anti-climactic. I mean, what's the point now?.

I cn see that being a problem. Ok, I have it: next time, you have to shoot lefthanded!


I'm hoping fgr some input here from Smidgy, but to me itjk's still under construction and I hate the sight of the walls up with signs on them.




That big round thing on my front is a "Happy Birthday Steve" button,,, Diane had mentioned that when the reservation was made and I got it at checkin.
My problem now is that I kept forgetting to take it off, and all KINDS of people kept telling me "Happy Birthday".
And yes,, it was funny at first,,, and then got annoying.


I think Nebo purposely left it on the whole trip, just so he could growl at people when they innocently wished him a happy birthday. I mean, it is bothers you, next time womeone sayd it, take it off immediately admit is, you love playing the grumpy old cuss!

Ok, ok, you are right, I confess. Cuz I'm good at it.

But when you get to be my age,,, everything is annoying, just ask Diane.
No,,, better idea is don't ask her.
oops guess I just answered that

I hope I haven't missed much.... evil laptop is possessed I will never walk past that post again without thinking of you, let it forever be know as the Nebo post

Yes,, that was the post I was futiley trying to grasp as I was blacking out and falling backward. Boy,, those hidden security/safety agents aren't as fast as you think.

It is a proud day when you max out on Buzz Lightyear. I did it over my birthday trip. Happy Birthday to me.

Welll done, how do you do on Toy Story?

I turned 25. I figured if I admitted that, I may be laughed outta hereI know tons of music before my time. It's my parents/ grandparents fault. The same goes for movies. Thanks to my grandmothers love of Sean Connery I have seen all of his movies to include Hunt for Red October. So yes, I know I would enjoy Pat O'brians and even some of the acts at this years F&G festival.
It should Everything else is.

25? That's it? That's too young for me to harmlessly flirt with you! Our age difference is 8 years older than you are old.geesh,,,, where's my Geritol?

Returning to the scene of the crime, eh?

Yes, Marie was the first one to nail it. And you still win nothing.

Ok, on to March Madness

 

[Self_resqing_princz]

Thanks for adding the few pictures in there from the new area... I haven't see much yet... and none at all from the dark TLMM new ride.
Thanks for sharing!

 

[yellowtink]

Welll done, how do you do on Toy Story?

Not so hot. Almost everyone in my family can beat me. Sometimes even my Mom.

 

[pkondz]

After our strange "Main Street " only night, we were tired and just wanted to get to bed early

The MK has that affect on people... makes them want to go to bed early.

It's like this;

Oh, it's like that? You do not want to go there! N'uh unh.




Sorry, I have no idea where that came from.

When I got back I unpacked and we went to the pool for a while, then, when we came back, that drawer was open all the way again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVC2vyVCWJI

"Huh, guess I just forgot to close it."

You know you're getting old when you get to that stage where you can't tell if it's your memory going or a ghost.

You know what's coming, right?

Yup.... I even used the "barked shin" phrase.... although I wasn't sure if it was going to be the shin or somewhere a little higher up.

Guess who has to go potty at two in the morning?

Every male on the planet over the age of 45 or so?

And no, I'm not thinking about evil magic drawers in the dark in the middle of the night to go take a leak.

I too would never suspect a drawer. I would suspect the sink, the toilet or the ever elusive bidet.


But a leaking drawer? Nope.

If I had gotten out of bed on the near side, I might have missed it, but NO, I had to take the overland route and get out by the door side.

Next time. Get out on the other side and crawl over Smidgy's bed.


Note for Smidgy only.


No one else read.


Everyone gone?

Okay Smidgy, no one else is reading this. After all the damage I've done to your love life (Nebo Spike, Swiss Miss Nebo, Coppertone Nebo... just to name a few) I've now done my part to restore the romance in your marriage. I've sent him over, it's up to you to grab him!



Okay, everyone else can read again.

After making a left at

I know! I know!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no7xEmZramk

at the foot of the bed

oh

I thought I was home clear.

Fool!

It was waiting for me.

Always take the time to listen for the evil laughter.

"He barked his shin."

Yup. But it coulda been worse.... see above.... your shin....

Didn't seem so funny now though.

Yeah. Ruby's crazy. She says the worst place to get hit is the shin, but I think that's nuts.






The funny bone is worse.

I do think I see where it came from though,,, cuz,,when it happens, the sound that comes out of you is close to a Bark.

Well that explains it.

So at 6:15 we are down at the bus stop.

I really wonder, if there's any other vacation where you would willingly get up that early.

Did I mention you're on vacation?

I look toward the east and can barely see a signifying glow heralding the coming dawn.

Hey look everyone! Nebo's waxing poetic!

Wax on, wax off.

It was pretty spooky looking out for Disney.

And watching the Walking Dead hasn't exactly helped the mood either.

Then we saw the maintenance worker coming towards us.

But how cool.... or unnerving perhaps... if the maintenance worker didn't just come towards you but shambled towards you.

And of course, he walked with a limp.

See? Cool!

I kept hearing in my head,,, "they're coming for you Barbara", does anybody remember that classic line?

Nope. Not without help from Google. I watched the clip and realized.... I don't think I've ever seen it. And I don't know why not. It's a classic for Pete's sake.

But he turned off next to the bus depot and headed towards the building.

Please tell me you at least had a sigh of relief... or maybe you let up on the death grip you had on Smidgy's hand.

Finally, a bus pulled up and there were real live people on it, maybe six of us in all.

Are you sure? It was still dark. Maybe they were vampires.


could happen.

by the time we got through the gates, the dark had left us in the hands of widely scattered light.

We're the other people from the bus with you still?
Not vampires then.


Oh. And you're waxing again.

but the good feeling almost sucked me into trying the Astro Orbitters again,, a ride I have done ONCE in my life with my son, butr then I came to my senses and walked quickly past.

Proof that I have more sense then you. I've never ridden it.

you can have a tendancy to just want to leap out of the little car you are riding in and get it over with.

Is that even possible? Isn't that why they wedge you in there in the first place?

Since we were right there with no line Smidgy Oakley wanted to do BBuzz Light Year.

Fastest laser gun in Carpentersville.

About 90 seconds into the ride,, I have a score of about 8700, and she puts her gun down. "Well, that's that" she announces.

I love that.

I'm hoping fgr some input here from Smidgy, but to me itjk's still under construction and I hate the sight of the walls up with signs on them.

A necessary evil, I suppose.

The new Little Mermaid ride is ok,,, nothing special to me,,, more like a fancier Snow White dark ride,,, but the queuing area is much cooler,,, in a simulated grotto I guess.

I suspect it'll be a big hit with the small fry.

What Smidgy is like when she slaughters me at Buzz,,,

You're really developing an attachment to sleeping on that couch aren'tcha.

This chair is a big deal,, and I can't tell you why.

It's a big deal 'cause there's a beautiful woman sitting in it, of course.

And, of course, you know that no trip is complete without the rocking chair picture.

But you're not sitting in it? Is there a thought behind that?

My problem now is that I kept forgetting to take it off, and all KINDS of people kept telling me "Happy Birthday".
And yes,, it was funny at first,,, and then got annoying.

Uh, huh. Smidgy's already pointed this out. But I didn't buy it either.

But before we left,, I had to go and check out one more thing.

Know where we are, and what this is?

I'm wondering though... Who figured out which pole it was and where? You? Or Smidgy?

Either way, great idea for a pic.

And with that, a good night to one and all.

Thanks for the chapter! :

you can throw in the older females, too!

now, nebo never said there was no romance. come people just like their own beds to SLEEP. (in fact, there was a whole thread about this. got kinda argumentative too.. only on the DIS
(but you did kind of put it "in jeapordy there for a while)





I really wonder, if there's any other vacation where you would willingly get up that early.
the "wilingly" is only on his part


It's a big deal 'cause there's a beautiful woman sitting in it, of course.

now I think YOU need glasses!



Uh, huh. Smidgy's already pointed this out. But I didn't buy it either.

see nebo, we're all on to your tricks!

 

[Stacybaeasm]

Always very late to the game, but this time, I have an excuse! I just came back from a month of recovery from having gastric bypass. I actually didn't have the energy to get on the Dis. I'm going back to the beginning to catch up now though. Look out, here I come!

 

[Thumper_Man]

I know! I know!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no7xEmZramk

I always laugh when I see this. Considering I only live about 10 minutes away from Albuquerque. Now if I make a left turn at Albuquerque (coming from our house) I'll land up going East which would eventually take us to
WDW.

Lady H, next time we go to Albuquerque (we as in you and I. I know you go there everyday during the week for work) remind me to take a left and keep on going.

Yeah. Ruby's crazy. She says the worst place to get hit is the shin, but I think that's nuts.




The funny bone is worse.

I'll have to disagree with you on this one. I think you had it right the first time.

Ah yes. I remember you telling me about the button. I'll talk more about it later. When you get to that part.

Hi Stacy, we missed you. But geesh, gastric bypass? That's not even fun to say! We almost always try to take the bypass,, especially around Atlanta,,, now I'm going to have to rethink this. Seriously,, hope you are doing better soon.

I'll have to disagree with you on this one. I think you had it right the first time.

I totally agree with ou on this one,,,, the funny bone aint nuttin in comparing the the two,,, I mean the THREE of them together. Welll, since we are on the topic,,, the worst I ever had was when I guy wound up on a zero degree day, 15 feet away from me, the goaltender,,, totally unprotected except for a goalie stick and my baseball glove, and fired a scorching slapshot at me.
It did not mis me!
I threw up for a half hour afterwards.

The second time that ranks up there:
I was climbing around with a buddy under neath the very high/tall bleacheers at a local high school,,, Diane's school as a matter of fact,,,, and swinging like a stupid monkey back when I was around 16.

Well,, just like I missed the Harbor House pole,,, I missed a cross section doing my Johnny Weismulller, Tarzan yell.
The "x" section caught me there,,,
I swung around and fell,,, and the "x" section below caught me there again.

And I swung around and fell again,,,,
and one more time again.

By the timie I was done,,, even though I had just recently had my voice drop from puberty,,,I was making Wayne Newton and Frankie Valley sound like baritones!

And you Mike? You sound like you speak from experience yourself. Ponzi,,, anybody else?

 

[pkondz]

Just like when I drive Elle back from dance class. I always think, "Just go another mile past the exit... take that exit and 30 hours later... Disney!"

Every.

Freaking.

Time.

I'll have to disagree with you on this one. I think you had it right the first time.

Glad you caught that.

Ever notice how funny it is when it happens to someone else?

I must admit, I've never had a really bad episode... but I'll never forget my friend's.

He scaled a chain link fence and had just swung his leg over.
So he was hovering over the top bar of the fence, one leg on one side, the other leg on the other, holding himself up with his hands.

Really too bad that his hands slipped.

He didn't quite pass out.

I will now attempt to steer this ship back towards G-rated waters. Yikes.

I also topped out on Buzz during our last trip. It drives DH nuts when I do this because he is a gamer and I am not. Plus I have crippled hands and he does not. For those who enjoy driving their partners abolutely insane (and really, who doesn’t?) here is what to do (please note: written in second-person prose. I want extra credit.):

First, you get yourself diagnosed with arthritis of the basilar joint of the thumb in both hands. This should be done about a year before your trip. Next, during your trip, slice open your thumb trying to cut an apple with a plastic knife, realizing only after you are bleeding heavily that the Disney fridge has frozen the apple, and also that the plastic knife was never up to the job in the first place. This should be done a day or two before you hop in line for Buzz. Take extra band-aids.

Once in the Buzzmobile, practice shooting the gun. Use your left hand, then your right, trying to determine the best way to grip and fire without opening up the gash or causing severe pain in either hand. As you approach the robot room, take a first look down at your score. You should have about 800,000 points. Thinking quickly, spin your Buzzmobile around so you can shoot at the back of the robot’s hand. This will bring your score up to 999,999. Elbow your partner so their eyes can bug out of their head and steam comes out of their ears, then sit back and relax. Your work is done.

(This is an exact, true representation of how I maxed out on Buzz this past January.)

 

[Thumper_Man]

And you Mike? You sound like you speak from experience yourself. Ponzi,,, anybody else?

Of course. Back in the good ol' days, cups weren't as highly enforced in some sports as they are today. While playing baseball, I really never used one. The only person required to wear one was the catcher. For everybody else it was optional. No I wasn't the catcher or the pitcher. 2nd base and short stop were the positions I played. I recall one day during practice, playing 2nd base, coach hit a ground ball my way. I was moving in position to catch it when all of sudden, the ball took a bad hop and caught me. Practice was over for me that day.

 

[Thumper_Man]

Just like when I drive Elle back from dance class. I always think, "Just go another mile past the exit... take that exit and 30 hours later... Disney!"

According to Google Maps; if we both left at the same time, I would only get there about 3 hours before you would if I turn left at Albuquerque.

My DH enjoyed your story about how you maxed out Buzz. We are both taking notes because we enjoy smoking the kids on the videogame style rides.

Wait,, you mean I'm not the only one that bleeds at Disney? And how can you cut yourself badly with a PLASTIC fake knife? I'm lucky if I an get them to cut butter.

See I don't have the "road to Disney" problem because I only fly.

What happened to the video of the CBR room? I was a really good girl and only watched the videos once they were posted and then I get cheated out of the video I most wanted to see?

And wasn't Ponzi going to post a pic of his dog???
