[smidgy]

mony, mony.. PULL toy, NOT play toy!!!

remember when your kids were toddlers, and they had that toy on the strig they pulled along,(maybe it was a duck, and it quacked)

so, when nebo and I are walking in the dark and holding hands, and I walk faster than him, I PULL him along. so he is my pull toy.


WHERE is YOUR mind, young lady??!!!

 

[pkondz]

Ok, I know I've been oweing ,,,,owing?

I owe,
I owe,
It's off to work I go.

anyway,, I owe you a chapter.

And don't forget an apology for all the bad puns...

And believe me, I don't like to chagrin in public often.

How about emote? Do you like to emote in public?

Man... public is a word you have to be real careful to spell correctly.

One thing I forgot to mention;
After handing my glasses to Smidgy handing my cap to her as well,, well, you can guess how well I'm seeing.

You really should consider taking some sonar navigation courses.

It probably wouldn't help you navigate, but at least other people would hear you coming and get out of the path of destruction.

<scree!>
<ping!> <ping!>
<screeeee!>

Yes, I'm really getting tired of using the phrase, "Perfect Storm",

And yet it fits you so well.

He responded with , "No problemo, ma'am", and briskly grabbed my arm and walked me over to the car.

Where I slammed my head on the over head harness way up in the air right now.

I saw that one coming... obviously, you didn't. You really had faith in that kid, huh?

Behind me I heard Diane's audible gasp, and a few other people going, "ohh, uh oh, " and one, "That's gonna leave a mark",

Hah, that would've been me if I'd been there. No, wait, I know who you are and what you're capable of, so I guess I would've said something like, "Wait, the show's not over."

I did my best to "skootch" over, and ,,,

Wham, my head found the overhead harness on the next seat.

See? Toldja.

Off to the side, I could hear somebody yell out:

"FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, SOMEBODY STOP HIM BEFORE HE KILLS HIMSELF!"

There's a reason she doesn't like Roller Coasters;
Way too stressfull whether she rides them or not.

I forsee a time where bottles are prohibited from being launched from the apex of coaster rides.... but Nebos aren't.

First new coaster I've tried in years, and yeah, I TOO can get apprehensive about roller coasters.

Well, after being concussed not once, but twice, I can certainly see why!

And I'm happy now; the ticker is still ticking, the tocker is still tocking,

Ya, ve Germans haff vays off making you tock.

and my shorts are still dry.

Well there you go. Right there you're ahead of Bunny boy who couldn't keep his shorts dry.

The day
was passing us by though, the park is only open to six, and
the sunlight is wanning.

Or is it waxxing?

Anyway, it's going down.

This should help:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fULNUr0rvEc

We have three more items on our list before park closing, and i am now in half trot behind Smidgy to ET. as in, Eternal Torture.

A ride I've actually been on!.... but don't remember. At. All.
I do remember when ET says goodbye that Ruby and I both burst out laughing (We had no idea that would happen). But that's it.

I don't get it, her legs are shorter than mine, how can she be able to walk faster?

Uh, huh. And how many jobs have you had where walking faster means you get paid better? Hmmmmm?

We got there, I chugged up,

Which is far, far better then 'up chugged'.

She then looked down at the brochure, and then she did the funny part.

She looked at her watch!

OMG! It's 47 and a half minutes after park closing time!

Which I think is now set for Seskatchiwan time, plus 8 minutes....

You may not have realized it... but that's probably exactly what it was set at. This time of year, Saskatchewan and Chicago are in the same time zone, i.e. it's the same time in both spots.

no, she's not good at changing the time when the time zone she's in happens to change.
The Noive of it!

Next time, take a holiday in Kazakhstan. Unless her watch is set to the 24 hour clock, then she'd be off by 12 hours.

We bolted from there, and now I was in the running; I vaulted the railing, cleared the rope without even touching it and did a double forward somersault over the "IN" turnstyle gate, I hit the ground in balance and we were off to the Gory Grusome Show.

What?

I didn't say anything. I believed every word of it.

Now we get back to hoofin' it over to the Gory Grusome SHow,,,,,,,,,,,,,my mantra the whole time was , "Bad foot, bad back, bad foot, bad back, bad foot,,,,,

Please see previous comment re: wax on wax off.

We know the Star will walk in, staggering with a knife in
his chest, and fall down in front of a girl in the first row.
YES, of course it was Smidgy one time, and then he asked
her for CpR as he was dying.

She obliged.
Then he asked her to do it the way the French people do it.
She declined.

I wouldn't. Just keep up the chest compressions while exclaiming, "Mon Dieu! Zee patient he is no doing so good! Sacre Bleu! I surrender!"

Which brings us to another head to head,,, ET vs. Peter Pan. And these two rides are a great match up.
Except for one thing;
ET kicks Pete's butt!

So you call it Eternal Torture... then say it's better than PP? I don't remember it so I can't compare again unfortunately, but you've certainly piqued my interest.

Funny thing was, I never saw a single target during the entire ride this time, my eyes have gone from suck to worse, but even without the huge bonus you get by pressing the button at the end at just the right time, I still beat her!

At this time I would like to commend Smidgy for deliberately not aiming at the targets so Steve would have something... anything to feel good about.

It's basically a highlight reel run on huge water screens in the lagoon with some fireworks going off behind you,, well, or in front of you, depending on where you are standing.

The film part is interesting, but the fireworks are not only lame and irrelevant, but almost obtrusive.
You have to keep turning around to see them.

That does sound lame. Sounds like you're forced to miss something.

This was the "I'm paying good money to stay here " family, and "I can do whatever I/we, want!"

I loathe people like that.

Diane caught more of this fiasco than I did, and tried to tell me what happened on the boat ride back, so I'm hoping she will do the same thing here and relay the story to all of you.

I see from a quick skim ahead that she's started.

Take it away, Smidgy!
Take it away, Smidgy!

Yoo hoo, Smidgy!!

Geez! Just look over there -> post 577

and now I'm looking forward to meeting Mr. Zigzag tomorrow morning.

Hmmm... just someone you bumped into? Again and again?

That line makes it look like I'm going to continue on, doesn't it?

Fools!

Oh, sure. Tick off your readers by calling them names. You wanna hit 2 million views or not?

Well, ok, just for a bit, got nuttin better to do right now.
With the house to myself.
On New Years Eve.

sniff

Ah. He calls people fools then wonders why he's alone on New Years Eve.

I expected a crowd down at the boat dock, nope, they took the day off I guess. We got to the park 15 minutes early for early entry, and it was a little nippy out.
(notice I left the "L" out, Clark?)

Well there is a nip in the air. Can I take something out for you?

Yes Eddie, you always were the classy one.
So what do you say we say goodnight, and pick
this back up tomorrow? Tommorow. To morrow.

I love ya, tomorrow! You're always a day... oh, nevermind.

Menyana!

Happy New Years, hugs to all of you.

Thanks for the chapter, dude! :

 

[pkondz]

How about a snowball fight?

Are you seriously challenging a Canadian to a snowball fight???

Isn't that what the moon does? Does this story include pants?
Anyway, it's going down.

Please not the pants!

 

[monymony3471]

mony, mony.. PULL toy, NOT play toy!!!

remember when your kids were toddlers, and they had that toy on the strig they pulled along,(maybe it was a duck, and it quacked)

so, when nebo and I are walking in the dark and holding hands, and I walk faster than him, I PULL him along. so he is my pull toy.


WHERE is YOUR mind, young lady??!!!

Exactly where it should be! You said pull toy and I couldn't GO there, cause that would have been really bad, so I went with play toy cause that so much better left to the imagination.

Are you seriously challenging a Canadian to a snowball fight???

Yes, this Michigander, mother of 4, soon to be teacher extraordinaire is challenging you to a snowball fight!

And just so you know, I lived in Canada many weekends from age 19-21. Geesh!

I also know what a loonie is and I'm not referring to Nebo!

 

[Xclusive2WDW]

Exactly where it should be! You said pull toy and I couldn't GO there, cause that would have been really bad, so I went with play toy cause that so much better left to the imagination.

My money's on Mony for the snowball fight! Go Blue

My words of wisdom today (according to my Mother)

Never eat chicken on January 1st -

you will scratch for money all year !


Rose

So what does she say about smoked sausage?

Bravo, Bravo Love the new update.

It's not a vacation until you see the kin of the Clampett's!

Poor Smidgy having to work. I do hope you both have a wonderful New Years though!!!

Hey thanks, I don't think I've ever gotten a Bravo before, I kind of like it.

And then we come to, (sigh) the other end of the spectrum;

Happy New Years to you too! XOXOXO

Ok, your quote isn't coming through on it's own, but I/'m not a complete moron. Kid employee just hustled me away, and yes, I trusted him since he was just told I cant' see, and when hyou can't see, you usually are looking DOWN so as not to trip over something and end up UNDER the coaster, and if I was using my "basic human instict hands for guidance", they would not have been up by my head but in front of my groin, ok?
Geesh!

Wow! US is really kicking Dieney's butt so far. I do agree with your picks though. What did you think of RIp Ride Rockit? I did not ride it last time we were there as I was a little ill from too many rides on FJ.

We have not seen the horror show in years. Kind of forgot about it. Definitely have to put it on the list for the next trip.

Happy New Year to both you and Smidgy, as well as all the readers and contributors, and thanks for sharing your exploits with us!

Gory Grusome is a must see, for anybody. ANd the Rockit is ok, better than it looks and kind of cool how it leaves the confines of the Studios and goes out into Citywalk, but it's no Millenium Force or Raptor, and the Beast is still my favorite alltime coaster, though I haven't ridden it in 20 years almost.

Glad to hear everyone had a nice holiday.
Hope everyone has a magical New Year (yeah I stole the Disney line, feel free to roll your eyes)

Your room was amazing. If we ever do Uni out there I will pick your brain for suggestions and tips.
Can do, first thing you need to do though is become a Loews First member, go to the website and sign up, it's free.

Are you sure about the Mummy being better than Rocking rc? Please someone tell me that the Mummy ride out in Florida is different than the one out here at Universal studios Hollywood. Otherwise I could only shake my head at that one.

I've taken some heat on my Mummy selection, but it's a personal choice for me. I like how the Mummy starts out as a haunted dark ride and turns into a coaster, and the loops just don't do it for me anymore on the modern day steel coasters. The Cyclone at Coney Island, the Bobs at Riverview, now those were a Man's roller coaster, you really were lucky to survive the rides.

Rode the one out here in November and was not very impressed with it. In it's defense, it is a rather small space so they only had so much room to work with. They took out the E.T. ride to make way for the Mummy.
They did recently open a new Transformer's ride that really is great and I hope they put one out in Florida for the folks that don't make it out this way.

Transformers in Florida is already under construction at the Studios.

Happy New Year to all! Just got caught up since Christmas. Loving your head-to-head on Uni v WDW. We've never been there, and like getting your perspective.

NYE in Epcot,and NYEE in MK were epic fun! On our last day here, and this is a vacation day. Skipping the parks, shopping at a couple outlets, and back for pool time... it's 80degrees today! Thankfully, we missed the sleet at home.

Wait, you are in Alabama and worried about bad weather? Monica, Kyle, Ponzi, who wants first slap?

Quote from mony: Do you not have this basic human instinct?

This is quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever read on the DIS, so thank you for the laughter today!

I'm so glad we could be here for your amusement.

Great chapter, although I'm sad that Universal is winning so many points. Not that I don't agree with you, I just hate to see the dark side winning so far...

The scoring basically in the whole scheme of things is irrelevant, cuz Disney has a certain Magic Feel that Universal just cannot duplicate, that's why we have NEVER done Disney first and then moved over to stay at Uni,,,, it would just be too much of a let down.

New Years Eve and NO vikes ??? That is super sad I mean truly tragic.

I would share, but since you live about 800 miles away, that is a problem. Hope you had a good night anyway. Thanks for the update !!

Tease! Ah, you've probably got the little 5 mg ones instead of the 7.5's.

 

[jecskc]

Tease! Ah, you've probably got the little 5 mg ones instead of the 7.5's.

That is what all of the boys used to call me in school. I never understood it.

I do have the 5's. But I have 60 of them ...... and you don't.

 

[monymony3471]

But kid employee said, "No problemo." That was your first clue.

 

[nebo]

I owe,
I owe,
It's off to work I go.



And don't forget an apology for all the bad puns...

What? Look above this line! That's a pun that should have stayed in the oven.

How about emote? Do you like to emote in public?

No, I just hand out the appropriate Smiley placards when needed. Kind of like, "Here's my Sign".

Man... public is a word you have to be real careful to spell correctly.Yeah? Go into a Hobbit chat room after you've had a few drinks and see what comes out when you bring up Mr. Baggins name.



You really should consider taking some sonar navigation courses.

So I can Run/walk silent, Run/walk deep?
That was a g reat movie.

It probably wouldn't help you navigate, but at least other people would hear you coming and get out of the path of destruction.

<scree!>
<ping!> <ping!>
<screeeee!>

Isn't that "Ping" a great sound effect?

And yet it fits you so well.

Ah, the perfect storm line. And I have no response to it.

I saw that one coming... obviously, you didn't. You really had faith in that kid, huh?

happened too fast. Went from just standing there trying to see to being whisked away, but here's a great thought:
This isf a person with the responsibility of everybody's safety on a high speed attraction.

Hah, that would've been me if I'd been there. No, wait, I know who you are and what you're capable of, so I guess I would've said something like, "Wait, the show's not over."

I thiought for sure you were going to do the Al Jolsen, "You ain't seen nothing yet, folks".

See? Toldja.

I forsee a time where bottles are prohibited from being launched from the apex of coaster rides.... but Nebos aren't.

Apparently , you didn't read my comment on the Thumpers thread about your use of the Thesaurus when "top" can work just nicely as well. And you talk about having to be careful when typing "public?" Well, I just didn't hit the T hard enough when typing that other couples' thread, and it really looked funny as well.





Ya, ve Germans haff vays off making you tock.

I don't know why, but that just made me laugh. Great, I'm losing it.

Well there you go. Right there you're ahead of Bunny boy who couldn't keep his shorts dry.

I'm not caught up on his thread yet, so, um, OH BOY, CAN"T WAIT?

This should help:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fULNUr0rvEc

Are we going Karate Kid here? I don''t dare go in the middle of a post, got to wait till I"m done here first or I'm asking for it.

A ride I've actually been on!.... but don't remember. At. All.
I do remember when ET says goodbye that Ruby and I both burst out laughing (We had no idea that would happen). But that's it.

Well, after all these years, they still haven't updated the software it seems, ET still didn't say the name Nebo, and I don't think he said Smidgy, goodbye either. But once I did use my dad's name and it sounded so funny to hear him say, "Goodbye, Adolph".

Uh, huh. And how many jobs have you had where walking faster means you get paid better? Hmmmmm?

I can truly say that I have no idea what you are referring to here, I'm lost. I mentioned she has shorter legs, how can she walk so fast, and you are now talking about employment and pay differentials?
DId you just start a conversation on some other thread and you are going to finish it here?
Oh wait, you have been talking to Monica a lot lately,,,,ok, that explains it!





OMG! It's 47 and a half minutes after park closing time!

I'm surprised she hasn't asked me to buy her a few more watches to solve the time zone twilight zone problem.

You may not have realized it... but that's probably exactly what it was set at. This time of year, Saskatchewan and Chicago are in the same time zone, i.e. it's the same time in both spots.

I thought of that a few hours after I posted it, and i had a feeling that the two may be basically in line.

Next time, take a holiday in Kazakhstan. Unless her watch is set to the 24 hour clock, then she'd be off by 12 hours.

Wait a minute, you mean you say "holiday" for "vacation" like the English do too?

I didn't say anything. I believed every word of it.

ok, ok, I may have exaggerated a tad when describing my open field maneuvers.





So you call it Eternal Torture... then say it's better than PP? I don't remember it so I can't compare again unfortunately, but you've certainly piqued my interest.

Yeah, I din't explain that well, I meant the walk/run, to ET was Eternal Torture, not the ride itself, but there's no doubt it's better than Peter Pan.

At this time I would like to commend Smidgy for deliberately not aiming at the targets so Steve would have something... anything to feel good about.

Ha,,,, she was PANICKING that I was beating her!





I loathe people like that.

I really feel like I'm not missing anything with my hearing aids, but sadly, that's just not true. In this case thoguh, I might have gotten in trouble if I had heard all she did with the family, and I might have said something they for sure would also not like.

I







Oh, sure. Tick off your readers by calling them names. You wanna hit 2 million views or not?

You're right, then I can double my royalties.

Ah. He calls people fools then wonders why he's alone on New Years Eve.

Oh I wasn't alone.

I had Patches and Mischief coughing up hairballs for entertainment.

Well there is a nip in the air. Can I take something out for you?


As Ronaly Reagan once famously said in a debate, "See, now, there you go again", I have read that line ten times, knowing I'm missing something, but I have to admit i'm just not getting that coin to drop. please help me .
I was referring to Christmas Vacation and Clark telling the girl with big ****s it was Nipply out, and I said I'm leaving out the "L" and, oh,,,, never mind.




Thanks for the chapter, dude! :

Are you seriously challenging a Canadian to a snowball fight???

Hey, if you two can't play nice, I'm going to turn this trip report right around and we'll go back home!

My money's on Mony for the snowball fight! Go Blue

What, am I just really stupid today? X Factor, why are you saying Go Blue?

 

[nebo]

That is what all of the boys used to call me in school. I never understood it.

I do have the 5's. But I have 60 of them ...... and you don't.

Right, you never understood it....

But kid employee said, "No problemo." That was your first clue.

Right, sigh, can't argue with that reasoning.
What is this, Bash Nebo week?

 

[pkondz]

time to add a dum dums...

Hey!

no, I didn't call you dum dums (which were a terrible knock off of tootsie roll pops, by the way) Addendums:

Oh. Okay, then.

all the time we spend on the Dis, you'd think we would've done a little more research on it.. or at least ANY research on it.

Not that there's ever been a thread on the DIS about how no one understands how people can go to WDW/UNI without doing some planning first... :

I forget if we knew what time, but we knew it was around dusk (and let's not get into THAT again!) sheesh.

awww....

but NOW Nebo decides he wants a beer for during the show.

Classic battle of the sexes... Someone will want to stop for a drink when it's most inconvenient for the other.

I'm not making this up people! It's a fact!

I have been promised a grand marnier slushie for umpteen trips now (and yes, I finally got it this trip).

Well all right then. I guess there's no reason to read on now that all the mystery has been sucked out of this TR.

the cart that was near min in black was closed.

Min in black?

Ok let's walk towards the area by disaster

No wonder Nebo is always getting hurt. Smidgy always leads him towards disaster areas instead of away from them.

It all makes sense now.

kinda like the Griswolds and the empty parking lot

Queue theme from Chariots of Fire

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtyrDZG-eDo
(warning profanity at about the 2 minute mark - sorry, couldn't find a clip without it.)

oh yeah, that reminds me (see this is why Nebo goes nutz when I talk, I tend to flit around a bit. I have a little bit of Edith Bunker in me)

Squirrel!

(todd and jeremy and the other kids weren't so amused sorry guys, hope they forgot about it by now)

Trust me... they haven't.

poor nebo is at my mercy at night. (the power, THE POWER!!!! T H E .....) oops got carried away there. good thing Nebo will never see this, and you guys won't tell, right?

Nebo's my friend so... nope. He won't hear it from me.

so I grab onto my pull toy (I grab steve's hand and start dragging him again.. thumper and ponzie are biting at the bit, mony is DYING)

Grabbed your pull toy huh? Did Nebo have a big smile on his face? Were you getting strange looks from the other guests? Did security start chasing you?

:

the access to the rest of the deck sticking out isblocked by bushes. (now I know I couldn've squeezed through.. which is a no no, but I also knew nebo would've put his foot down on that one. "you are NOT leading me through a forest!!).

I go back and tell Steve"if we go through the...." "NO!" "but if" "NO, I'm NOT moving again, you're not dragging me anywhere else." "but, in the restaurant, it's light and then....." "NO!" "SIGH!"

Next time try pulling the pull toy... hard... That'll get him moving.

(parenthetical aside.. hence the parentheses...a WDW phenomenom. when people can't understand the language the show is in, they will talk through it, since they can't understand it anyways)

You know... I think there are plenty of english speaking people who feel an unstoppable urge to do a running commentary, too. They feel that everyone will benefit from their wit.

They're half right.

Yeah I know it's an old joke... but it ain't funny when it happens.

as we walked past the universal globe, I suggested seeing if there was a boat. and this is where we witnessed the "parents of the year" family. to be continued.

I await the next update with bated breath.

Wait... boat...

baited breath.

so! you chose bunny boy! harrumph!

Yeah, I gotta throw him a bone once in a while or he curls up in a foetal position and won't come out of his burrow.

mony, mony.. PULL toy, NOT play toy!!!

remember when your kids were toddlers, and they had that toy on the strig they pulled along,(maybe it was a duck, and it quacked)

so, when nebo and I are walking in the dark and holding hands, and I walk faster than him, I PULL him along. so he is my pull toy.


WHERE is YOUR mind, young lady??!!!

Yeah, Monica! Where is your mind?

Yes, this Michigander, mother of 4, soon to be teacher extraordinaire is challenging you to a snowball fight!

And just so you know, I lived in Canada many weekends from age 19-21. Geesh!



I also know what a loonie is and I'm not referring to Nebo!

Oh, PRAC! She called my bluff! I have no doubt a mother of 4 would clean my clock in a snowball fight... at least one who understands snow.

Oddly enough though, I am Canadian and when I talk about a loonie I am talking about Nebo.

 

[akayek31]

I love the MIB ride. I have always thought it was better than Buzz but didn't want to be kicked out of the Disney club Last February we went to US two days. I wanted to ride Rip, Ride, and Rockit once at least before we left. The first day they pulled us into a taping of TNA wrestling. I loved it. The second day we went to Mardi Gras to see the Goo Goo Dolls and by the time I got to the ride there was an hour wait and I didn't have one of those cool cards you did so I had to get a seat for the concert. So no ride for me. Maybe next time!

Umm, play or pull.......either one seems to fit a gutter sentence to me!

 

[buzz1121]

Nebo, great chapter as always.

I was cringing when you hit your head the first time because I had this strong sense of foreboding that the second one would get you as well. Seriously, I agree with Pkondz, you need to wear some kind of sonar device.

I had a little catching up to do, but I came back to an infection of innuendo! I am afraid the nature sighting has spurred a "free for all"! Here I'm trying to walk the straight and narrow and there is temptation everywhere!!

All Buzz family members survived the fireworks, though elder DD did have a moment of sparkler pain. I did think of you when the slight injury happened and thought of your fireworks injury.

I hope everyone is having a very Happy New Year thus far.

Oh yeah, before I forget, take your time on writing/posting the chapters. I like when your TRs have verbosity to them!

You are absolutely correct, it's gotten totally disgusting, nowhere near the wholesome family trip reports I'm kn own for!

All Buzz family members survived the fireworks, though elder DD did have a moment of sparkler pain. I did think of you when the slight injury happened and thought of your fireworks injury.

Sparklers are the most dangerous firework there is/are.

I hope everyone is having a very Happy New Year thus far.

Oh yeah, before I forget, take your time on writing/posting the chapters. I like when your TRs have verbosity to them!

Verbosity? you want verbosity? Isn't that how they grade the thickness of oil?

It's a Michigan thing

(I'm from Michigan, Mony's from the mitten, University of Michigan, Maize and Blue. . . get it?)

And the Spartans don't count? Hey, the Michigan coach should be fired,, a great talent like Denard Robinson and he had no idea how to use him!

And Ponzi,,, great work on the Min in Black, as your kids would say, "That was Awesome!!!"

And how did we end up on the pull toy thing again, that was back in POTC, On Stranger Rides?
