Ruh roh. And you say this after being compared to a dog? (See T-Man's post)

Yes,,, Giggler,,, good,,, Cackler,,,, bad.

Snap, Cackle, Pop.

Rice Krispies first attempt. Very poor approval ratings.

 

[appleorchard]

when I think that a year ago, I didn't know I would be reunited with them.... and I prayed all these years... and here they are!!! 10 miles away!!!!! and good students! Christians! Athletes! and willing to be part of our lives! my savior, Jesus , answers prayers!!!!

Aww, Smidgy, that's a wonderful thing-- God does answer prayers!

Response? You were right! What more do you want?


Oh.

You're one of those people that need to be told when they're right, huh?


okay


you were right.

happy now?



What you don't understand, is that even if Il'm right, it doesn't mean I KNOW I'm right. Between senility and the weird dreams and nightmares, and especially the voices in my head,,, reality get's confused with fantasy,,, so yes,, so times I need confirmation on being right about something.






I enhance the report in a totally awesome way.


what?

Yes you do,,, you are now re-named, MR. AWESOME.





bombastic, circumlocutory, fustian, gabby, garrulous, grandiloquent, loquacious, palaverous, periphrastic, talkative.

Does that help? Need more?

I am nothing if not helpful.

Yes, you are correct.

You are nothing.

I do like the word Loquacious though.

Doesn’t bother me one iota.

Disney has something that you can’t quantify. Doesn’t matter if the final score is 100 to zip. ‘Cause what are you going to say at the end?

We’re going to DisneyWorld!!

that is totally and completely true.


So pblttttt….

Ah, now we're seeing the real Ponzi vocabulary.






Why Nebo? Why are you sad? Do tell.



Heh. I’m from even farther north… and I know exactly how you feel


And no

I’ve never had grits… nor do I have any desire to try them.

So you can have mine.

Or you can kiss my grits

A whole TV series based almost entirely on one line.

Yeah,,, boy that line got old real quick didn't it?









You’ve got no anti-venom…
Whoa, no anti-venom
You’ve got no anti-venom
Now he's gone...gone...gone...wooooooh.

Not to get on my high horse,,, which I don't have anyways,,,but the word really is "antivenin",,no, not sure why the change in spelling that doesn't seem to make sense.

I'm also sorry to admit I'm not sure what song you are doiing there,,,





Hello? Did someone just call my name?

No

Being from a land of pretty much nothing but garter snakes, my rule is, “If it’s south of the Mason Dixon Line… avoid it.



Oh, you have some rattlesnakes up there, probably living a lot closer to you than you realize.



You kidding? This is better then Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.







Gotta admit, I’ve never heard of that before. Whole, sliced or wedges?

Wedges




Yep. He’s still there… or a reasonable facsimile thereof.



Did you tell them your charming Florida snakes story?

My favorite story was the big snake found in the room at the Contemporary resort,,,,,I think on the 12th Floor!
google it for pictures of it.


Did it not occur to you that if you had picked your nose, in the most interesting and explicit manner possible, that you could in fact have ensured a paucity of lounger adjoiners?


I am very rarely surprised at the lack of common sense in people.

yeah, never underestimate the power of stupidity, it is a force that knows no equals.

Never antagonize dumb people. You never ever win.







How dare you take the ball away from little Billy? That boy’s a saint! The apple of his mother’s eye.


Billy , don't be a moron, dont' be a fool with that ball."


Cricking?

cricking. I’ll buy that.







Brilliant.



What about the Aussies??

Ah, who cares about them since Steve died.



Thanks for the chapter! :





Ah. So I wasn’t sure if he was the “pretty” or a flying monkey… you’ve got him as the dog.

Can't I be a pretty flying dog monkey?

Great addendum Smidgy! Although I think Kathy Bates in Misery isn’t nearly as scary as Kathy Bates in About Schmidt. I mean… Holy Schmidt!!

I never saqw that one but I heard about the scene,,, I think I can beat that,,,, watch the very end of "At Play in the Fields of the Lord" with Kathy Bates, John Lithgow, Tom Berenger,, Aidan Quinn,,, Daryl Hannah,,,actually,, everybody in that movie is scary.

And is the wail/scream coming from Buzz or Buzzette????

thanks for taking the time Ponzi

Wrong.

Yes you do,,, you are now re-named, MR. AWESOME.

You can't re-name someone with a name they already have, can you?

So pblttttt….

Ah, now we're seeing the real Ponzi vocabulary.

I also have hmph, mpff and meh

You’ve got no anti-venom…
Whoa, no anti-venom
You’ve got no anti-venom
Now he's gone...gone...gone...wooooooh.

I'm also sorry to admit I'm not sure what song you are doiing there,,,

Maybe I wasn't referring to an animal derived product but to a chemically manufactured... oh, nevermind... I just looked that up. I had no idea. There goes my recently earned MR. AWESOME moniker.

The song is the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'"

Oh, you have some rattlesnakes up there, probably living a lot closer to you than you realize.

Nope. Not in this neck of the woods. The closest we have in this province is the Western Hognose, which isn't venomous (although it is slightly toxic to small critters), and isn't a rattler.

There are rattlers in other (typically warmer) provinces.

My favorite story was the big snake found in the room at the Contemporary resort,,,,,I think on the 12th Floor!
google it for pictures of it.

cool. Does that make it +1 or -1 for Disney?

Billy , don't be a moron, dont' be a fool with that ball."

I do know that song.

Ah, who cares about them since Steve died.

Oh, that's right and the killer's pic is over on the Bunnies thread.

I never saqw that one but I heard about the scene,,, I think I can beat that,,,, watch the very end of "At Play in the Fields of the Lord" with Kathy Bates, John Lithgow, Tom Berenger,, Aidan Quinn,,, Daryl Hannah,,,actually,, everybody in that movie is scary.
thanks for taking the time Ponzi

I never thought I'd see that movie... and now I'm sure of it.

 

[smidgy]

You can't re-name someone with a name they already have, can you?

Oh,,, he's making me go "gack" again.

I also have hmph, mpff and meh

Inever understood how Meh got so popular.

Maybe I wasn't referring to an animal derived product but to a chemically manufactured... oh, nevermind... I just looked that up. I had no idea. There goes my recently earned MR. AWESOME moniker.

that's something you have to read,, to hear it in person you are going to hear "antivenom" in your ears, but it also applies to toxic spider bites,,, lizards like the beaded lizard and gila monster,, jellyfish,,,, not just snakes.

The song is the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'"

Oh, of course it is,, how could I have been such a fool?
that was a "rhetorical" question,,, not really requiring an actual response.

(disclaimer isn't going to work, is it?)

Nope. Not in this neck of the woods. The closest we have in this province is the Western Hognose, which isn't venomous (although it is slightly toxic to small critters), and isn't a rattler.

I love the hognose,,, never had one but so cute the way they roll over and play dead when threatened.

There are rattlers in other (typically warmer) provinces.



cool. Does that make it +1 or -1 for Disney?

hmm ,,, not sure,,,,

I do know that song.

Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods.

Oh, that's right and the killer's pic is over on the Bunnies thread.

I know,,, they like asassins over there.

I never thought I'd see that movie... and now I'm sure of it.

very strange movie,,,, very strange.

Thank you Nebo. I needed a laugh this week. I am sad that my DLR trip is over and our next trip to DW is so far away. Your trip report was just what I needed.

I would love to have seen the face of the mother when you confiscated the football. I am sure it was priceless.

We never did make it to the pool when we stayed at RPR. The pix look great. Might have to spend more time there during our next trip to the dark side.

Oh,, by all means,,, and then go over to Portofino's pools,,, and then Hard Rock's,,,,heck with the parks!

 

[nebo]

Smidgy? How did I turn into Smidgy?

 

[Thumper_Man]

Smidgy? How did I turn into Smidgy?

You said you changed and then next thing you were by the pool. I didn't know you turned into Smidgy though.

 

[monymony3471]

So that job I was sad about, yea, when I got off the plane I had a voicemail from them asking me to call them asap!

I did and he offered me the job over the phone.

I requested an interview, cause I had questions and I am now a long term sub for a resource room in my own kids school district.


Wow, crazy turn of events. I start Wednesday cause we are on a mid winter break.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Awesome, congrats Mony!

 

[Xclusive2WDW]

Great news Mony! Vacation and a job to boot, woohoo!!!

 

[MHSweb79]

Billy , don't be a moron, don't be a fool with that ball."

Great, now I have that cheesy song stuck in my head. Thanks a lot. The '70s has a lot to answer for.

Regarding venom/ venin, I actually did know that from watching that reality TV show that followed an ER doctor who specialized in treating snake bites. Not only did I find the show fascinating, it was a great one to turn to when my DH was getting on my last nerve, since he hates snakes. (I used the baby-being-born shows on Discovery to get rid of my DD - same concept. (see what I did there?) Although I have probably scarred her for life, unlike my DH, who came to me pre-scarred.)

We are supposed to head back to WDW in May, after a 3 day Disney cruise.

 

[jedijill]

Congrats Mony!!!!

Jill in CO

 

[Thumper_Man]

mike aka bunny boy.. unfortunately we missed the macy parade at UNI. it didn't start until after we had left. any pics you have are great! (you didnt' happen to catch the Grinch christmas stuff? )

Unfortunately we missed the Grinchmas stuff. We just couldn't get the timing down.

Here you go Smidgy. Ask and you shall receive. These are some of the pics of the Universal's Macy's Holiday Parade that Lady H and I took. Sorry it took me a while to post them. I had to edit some of them and then get them uploaded.

Beginning of the parade.










Oh look. They made a Nebo balloon head.














Homer Simpson


Maggie & Marge. Sorry. We couldn't get Lisa or Bart, they were on the other side of the rv.




Marilyn Monroe










If you ever get a chance to see this parade, I would recommend getting a spot close to the Christmas tree.




And of course, what holiday parade wouldn't be complete without Santa Claus.




And that ladies and gentlemen, is the Macy's Holiday Parade over at Universal Studios.

 

[Mom&RN]

Congrats Monica!! That is fantastic!!! I got a job as well but can't start until April 1 as the practice I will be working for has to get me privileges at the hospital we admit our patients to and I can't start until I have privileges. In the interim I am volunteering at a local free clinic, good experience for me and I was sick of sitting at home!

 

[nebo]

So that job I was sad about, yea, when I got off the plane I had a voicemail from them asking me to call them asap!

Ok, why would somebody call you up long distance just to tell you they want you call them a sap? And did you,,,, ok,, I'm sorry,,, tired right now,,, geesh, now I'm starting to sound like and use Ponzi yuks.

I did and he offered me the job over the phone.

I requested an interview, cause I had questions and I am now a long term sub for a resource room in my own kids school district.


Wow, crazy turn of events. I start Wednesday cause we are on a mid winter break.

Wow, that's crazy, isn't it? Life turns on a dime, doesn't it? Much hugs to you!

Great, now I have that cheesy song stuck in my head. Thanks a lot. The '70s has a lot to answer for.

Ok, let's fix that then,, feel free to join in,,,
Which way, you goin' Billy, can I go too?
Which way, you goin' Billy, can I go with you?
I really love you Billy, and though I'm cryin'
I'm hurting so bad Billy,,,

or,,

Wont' you marry me Bi-ill,,,
I love you so, I always will

How efficient,,, saves time.

that's great, but I think the correct lyrics are "a three HOUR tour".

Oh look. They made a Nebo balloon head.


Everybody's a comedian!




If you ever get a chance to see this parade, I would recommend getting a spot close to the Christmas tree.


What? From the size of the floats/baloons/icons/characters you just posted,, I would think Atlanta would be close enough,,, I never realized that this was that big a deal there.



And of course, what holiday parade wouldn't be complete without Santa Claus.




And that ladies and gentlemen, is the Macy's Holiday Parade over at Universal Studios.

Ho Ho Ho,,,, but really, thanks Mike, well done

HUH? You don't start until April,,, have some time now,, and you are not at Disney, helping our Marita's 401 K?
And not to sound foolish, [B, but are you sure April 1st is the best day to start a new job?

That's a long time to push some papers around, but congrats! I did a lot of free volunteering. I wish this job paid more, but its a foot in the right door.

April 1 is a great day! It's Mr. Mony's birthday!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Yay for Mony and Mom&RN for getting jobs.

For me, the agenda tomorrow is: Grand puppy shopping!

The good news is it wont live here to pee on my carpet. The bad news is it won't live here. Kind of the way grand kids are. It may just pee on my carpet on visits.

Mike, thanks for the pictures.. the parade looked great! (esp. the nebo bobble head!)
