[nebo]

Hey, Mortimer the banker,,, wow, what a great post,,, loved the knee (kaneeka neeka) line. Well done.

P.S.;

Hope the kids are better soon

 

[nebo]

AAhh,,,, there you are!

(sound familiar?)

Now, let's have some fun!

So much to talk about, people to offend, Bunnies to get their hare ruffled.

Is it just me, or does it seem like no matter what columnist you read now-a-days is using the word "ubiquitous"?
Really,, it's everywhere now like a new fad.

Ruh roh,, gonna be won of those knights.

And so, on we go........ The Thumpers.

But wait:
first;

I still havent posted the stupid "this is our room video yet".
A good reason for that is because I didn't take it until the second to last day there! Hey, you don't want to rush into some things too soon!



Now;

Can anybody guess where we happened to meet that afternoon at the Animal Kingdom?

Did someone say a "bar?"

Really? Moi?

You would be correct, the Dawa bar in particular.

Our morining was typical for us,,, Safari, Primevil Hurl, Nemo, the Moronical,, then an early lunch at Flame tree. ( this time i'm sticking in pictures later, live with it, drives me nuts to get on a roll writing and have to switch back and forth).



Yes, I know how I"m becoming, if I had money I'd be "eccentric",,, instead,, I"m just "crotchety".


Ok, our alfresco table view from Flame Tree:




Soze,,, we get there 15 minutes early and we both order a pinapple, coconut, mango, blue Hawaii, red rum runner, long island pina colava.


Hey, c'mon, you missed me, admit it.



Yep, pretty sure that was the name. And that's how we ordered it/them.
I really wanted just a beer, but what fun would that have been?

Besides, now I can throw up from 4 different island nations simultaneously!

We then pulled some extra chairs around a table that was really hard to miss, and sat there waiting for them.
We had seen a couple pics of them, so we thought we knew what we were looking for. Heather has long blond hair, Mike is funny looking,,,, no , we had no idea what his baby sister looked like,, we thought i tdidn''t matter.

We couldn't be more mistaken.

Two women walked up to us, and stood there for a second just looking at us. Finally,, one said,,, "well,,, you gonna say hi Nebo?"
Smidgy got it before me;
"Oh, HI!,, Come join us, come join us,,, and they sat down at our table.

Heather now had brown hair, not blond,,, and cut really short, not long like I was expecting. She was like out of Get Smart,,,, incognito, a double agent. I asked if she was trying to hide from Mike, since he wasn't with them,,
"Has he been beating you up?" I asked, concerned.

(I'm sorry,, but I have to do this),,,
"Oh no,, I am almost always up before him." she replied.

Soonly, Mike came up, he had gone for EE lastpasses, and hugs and kisses all around were rampant.

I hate rampant kisses.

And what does "rampant' mean?
Is this mike on?
Hello, testing,,, one two drei quatro.

Oh, there you are,,, resume.

Let me get this out of the way,,, the three of them are total "stand up " people, even though they are sitting down right now.

However,,,
(I love throwing that in,,, makes everybody suddenly snap back to it)
especially the folks I'm writing about.

looking down, (yes, us shy, insecure, pessimistic introverted types are always looking down), I made an observation.

Now, I have railed in the past on the proliferation of "feet" in the Disney resorts and Parks, and it is obviously not improving.
Feet are everywhere!

I know they are needed and we all have them, but that's what Reeboks are for, to cover them. The best looking feet are hidden in Reeboks and Nike.

I can't help it, I just think they are stupid looking parts of the human anatomy, and can never figure out why women call attention to them by painting the nails a glow in the dark neon red.

I also hate the word "toe" or "toes" . Just sounds so childish, to me. Can't believe there was a famous football coach who went by that as his first name.

In Ponzi's Hawaii report, he mentioned going shopping with the girls so, they could get some,,,,,and then he used a few words, synomyns for sandals,,,,,flip flops, tongs, whatever,,, but one of the ones he used was "toesies"

I almost threw up!

Now, I know he turned in his man card a long time ago,, that can happen when raising two daughters,,, but c'mon. geesh!!
Real men don't say "tee hee" and real men never say "toesies".

So, while looking down, I see Melissa is wearing sandals.
Heather, is wearing sandals.

And, yes, even Mike is wearing sandals!

It was like being inside a Toes/R/Us.

Really, I'll bet they had close to thirty toes between the three of them!

Oh well, that's just me.

Oh, you want some pictures?

Allrighty then,,,yes, I did take a couple of them that day.






Oh, silly me, it appears I have misread those little snapshots on my P-Bucket page, but I still think the first one is Mike, let's try it again;








The three of them really are great people. But Melissa had a tendancy to just wander away creating the Melissa scavenger hunt a few times. She did that once just as we were going in to see the Festival of the Lion King Musical.
Nobody knew if she needed a potty or a snow cone, but she was suddenly gone.

The show was just starting and suddenly there she was;
she not only made it inside, but was able to find us as well!

I think she rode in on the Simba float.

But let's get back to Mike and Lady H.

Ok, mostly Mike I guess,,,,,it's a guy thing.

I came back to the table after getting a drink while still at the Dawa Bar,,,Smidgy and Heather were talking, Melissa was walking, and I see Mike "snup snupping" into his hand.

Then I saw he had his I-phone or whatever in his hand, and I ran up and asked, "Mike, are you ok? What's wrong?"

Still "snupping" and with tears rolling down his cheeks, he said; "It's,,, Puh,,, Puh,,, Ponzi!"

"Huh? What about Ponzi,,, something happen to him?"

"Oh no", and then I could tell he was laughing, not crying;

" I just went to get on your trip report and say you were doing ok,,,, so far,,,,and saw that Ponzi had posted a picture of you as Homer Simpson!"

Spiffy, absolutely Spiffy.

I will tell you another observation about Mike I couldn't help but make;

He's extremely dangerous!

Yes, you read that right,,,, and most probably dangerous to yourself,,, cuz he is so convincing.

He is Mr. Exhuberance, the Energizer Bunny, and he can talk you into doing things you might not want to do.

If there was a fifty foot bungee tower, with a fifty one foot cord,,, he would say,,,"Yeah,,, but think of the fun you'll have on the way down!"

Mike and Melissa rode Everest, with me sitting behind thme.

Then, Mike said to me,,, C'mon, this time you and me ride together.

"Yeah? Ok, how come? Something different gonna happen with you sitting next to me? You know, I'm not always in the mood to throw up!"

But that was pretyty much our Bunny day, next up is Stephanie!

 

[monymony3471]

Shut out!


<hugs>

<kisses>

 

[Thumper_Man]

I thought about breaking this chapter down, but I'll do one better; I'll give you the bunnies version of this day complete with pictures. I'll need to upload them first.

Stay tuned.

P.S. Provided Nebo permits me to in his TR. If not, then I'll post about it on our TR. Bwahahaha.

Mike,, anything you can offer is good as gold, you know that. We also accept checks.
Visa, Discover, and Purie marbles, as long as they arn't the boulder types.



O,k,,, this time going to bed for real.

 

[akayek31]

I think I woke everyone up in the house laughing over the riding in on the Simba float comment

 

[Thumper_Man]

O,k,,, this time going to bed for real.

How about I buy you a drink while we're at DL and we'll call it even.

 

[wiigirl]

Great update!

 

[pkondz]

My mom used to tell me that it meant that people are saying nice things about me.
She would also then quickly follow that up with a
"disclaimer",
"Well, son,, let's just say that someone is talking about you, and leave it at that, Okey Doke?"

Wise your mother is.

And when she found out about my factory defects, she got a lawyer and sued th doctor and hospital, invoking the "Lemon" , return policy ruling .

Apparently, my "lemons" werent big enough to collect much , and she got stuck with me.

Well, you know what they say: "When life hands you lemons... check them carefully, one of 'em might be Nebo."

and I can cry at the drop of a Shadow,,, or Chance,,, or
a Sally Field.

I'm picturing the flying nun smacking oh so gracefully onto the pavement as her flying powers wear off and she drops like a stone.


don't know why

I've even found the comma key once again.

Yes, I totally understand that this will be a bit hard for you all to accept, but as you just witnessed, I am not this infallible, omnipotent being that can do know wrong.

"That can do know wrong"

I gotta know! Did you do that on purpose?

Yes, I can , believe it or not, make my own share of mistakes, even without your help.

But we so love to help.

I missyouguys!"

That's allright. We missed you guys too.

I'll be back in a bit to start critiquing the last chapter.

Which is a polite way of saying what I really do to them!

 

[pkondz]

Oh! Almost forgot. Great mini-chapter M Ross (Mike?). Add a few more typos and commas and I would'a thought it was Nebo.

I mean really.... nobody has that much bad luck!

I especially liked the turnstile bit.

 

[pkondz]

AAhh,,,, there you are!

Where!?!?!

So much to talk about, people to offend, Bunnies to get their hare ruffled.

Good one.

Is it just me, or does it seem like no matter what columnist you read now-a-days is using the word "ubiquitous"?
Really,, it's everywhere now like a new fad.

Is it more or less pretentious then "omnipresent"??

I still havent posted the stupid "this is our room video yet".

And technically... you still haven't! You posted a "this is the view from just outside our room" video.

Still enjoyed it tho.

Can anybody guess where we happened to meet that afternoon at the Animal Kingdom?

Did someone say a "bar?"

No.

I thought maybe you all scaled Everest and met at the top.


You know.

For a DIS summit meeting.

( this time i'm sticking in pictures later, live with it, drives me nuts to get on a roll writing and have to switch back and forth).

Okay... But don't forget!

Yes, I know how I"m becoming, if I had money I'd be "eccentric",,, instead,, I"m just "crotchety".

And rickety too.

Ok, our alfresco table view from Flame Tree

Not bad.

Soze,,, we get there 15 minutes early and we both order a pinapple, coconut, mango, blue Hawaii, red rum runner, long island pina colava.

pkondz does not do coconut...



ever.


And I'm not a big fan of rum either.... didn't we just talk about this the other day?

Hey, c'mon, you missed me, admit it.

I admit nothing!!!

Yep, pretty sure that was the name. And that's how we ordered it/them.
I really wanted just a beer, but what fun would that have been?

You could've ordered a light pale microbrewed on tap ale.

Besides, now I can throw up from 4 different island nations simultaneously!

You're a cosmopolitan man!


Oh, wait. You didn't order a cosmopolitan, did you.

We then pulled some extra chairs around a table that was really hard to miss,

Barked your shins on the table a few times, huh?


And no! I don't want to get into the whole "barking shins" conversation again!

Heather now had brown hair, not blond,,, and cut really short, not long like I was expecting.

I don't think I would've recognized her either. She mentioned that she had cut it... but hearing it vs seeing it is a whole different story.

She was like out of Get Smart,,,, incognito, a double agent.

hmmmmmm......

Have you seen the movie? With Steve Carrell? Anne Hathaway plays 99 and goes from long hair to short (a wig mind you).

"Has he been beating you up?" I asked, concerned.

(I'm sorry,, but I have to do this),,,
"Oh no,, I am almost always up before him." she replied.

<sigh>

Got it out of your system?

Besides... "they" have to get up to make the coffee. So in fact, Mike has been beating her up.

Soonly, Mike came up, he had gone for EE lastpasses,

lastpasses?

How awesome would that be?

Nebo, grabbing the lastpasses, turns to the long line behind him and chortles, "Sorry folks! Last ones! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Suckahs!"

The last thing Nebo sees before he loses consciousness is someone taking the passes out of his hand.

and hugs and kisses all around were rampant.

so.....


is Mike a good kisser, nebo?

And what does "rampant' mean?

Weeeelllll.... they say (and who is this "they" that they speak of?) that a picture is worth a thousand words.

plus it's easier for Nebo to figure it out if he has pictures to look at.

so...

As in: An ant, rampant on a sloping plane.


Did that help?

Is this mike on?

I don't know.

You kissed him.
You tell us if he's turned on.

However,,,
(I love throwing that in,,, makes everybody suddenly snap back to it)

I agree... But!

looking down, (yes, us shy, insecure, pessimistic introverted types are always looking down), I made an observation.

Check. You look down on people. Think you're better then everybody else.

Got it.

Now, I have railed in the past on the proliferation of "feet" in the Disney resorts and Parks, and it is obviously not improving.
Feet are everywhere!

Come up here then. We changed from feet to centimeters and meters.

I can't help it, I just think they are stupid looking parts of the human anatomy, and can never figure out why women call attention to them by painting the nails a glow in the dark neon red.

For the fetishists, of course.

I also hate the word "toe" or "toes" .

So does that make you lack-toes intolerant?

Just sounds so childish, to me. Can't believe there was a famous football coach who went by that as his first name.

I know of Toe Blake who coached the Montreal Canadians to several Stanley Cups. Are you thinking of him?

In Ponzi's Hawaii report, he mentioned going shopping with the girls so, they could get some,,,,,and then he used a few words, synomyns for sandals,,,,,flip flops, tongs, whatever,,, but one of the ones he used was "toesies"

I almost threw up!

Score!!

Now, I know he turned in his man card a long time ago,, that can happen when raising two daughters,,, but c'mon. geesh!!
Real men don't say "tee hee" and real men never say "toesies".

Okay, okay.... I've been toed.

told.

Really, I'll bet they had close to thirty toes between the three of them!

Next time get down on your hands and knees and get real close and count 'em.




Did you throw up in your mouth a little there?

cool.

Fake! Obviously photoshopped. You never met, right?

Conspiracy!

That's why you didn't know the total toe count!

Nobody knew if she needed a potty or a snow cone, but she was suddenly gone.

Funny that you posted that... and then this (don't click the link unless you've got a hankering to never eat snow cones at a ball game again):
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-b...endor-fired-bringing-snow-cone-143626343.html

I think she rode in on the Simba float.

But let's get back to Mike and Lady H.

Ok, mostly Mike I guess,,,,,it's a guy thing.

More kissing?

Still "snupping" and with tears rolling down his cheeks, he said; "It's,,, Puh,,, Puh,,, Ponzi!"

Huh? Wha'd I do?

" I just went to get on your trip report and say you were doing ok,,,, so far,,,,and saw that Ponzi had posted a picture of you as Homer Simpson!"

hmmmm.... don't recall that one. Perhaps you as the Fonz?

But that was pretyty much our Bunny day, next up is Stephanie!

Looking forward to it! Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Thumper_Man]

Youve heard the story, but not the full story. Well Nebo's version of the full story. Now let Mr. Bunny tell you his tale. Let me take you back to December 2, 2012. The location: Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Even on this very thread, youll recall some live posts I posted. Theyre dead in the water now, but the history in them lives on. Heck history is about to repeat itself. Thats because Im going to repeat almost all of the history Nebo told you about.

First a little back history of how all this came to be. See Lady H, DSis (Melissa) and I planned a trip to Orlando back in October 2011. We had talked about a return trip to Orlando after our trip back in October 2010. Being Lady H and I own a timeshare, we usually have to plan trips like this at least 1 ½ years out. This is popular travel destination and to reserve a unit, we have to book at least 13 months in advance. Units here tend to book rather quickly.

Anyways little did we know that the famous Nebo, and the even more famous Smidgy, were going to be there at the same time we were. It wasnt until reading Nebos last TR that we discovered well both be there around the same time. I sent him a PM, gave him my phone number, we talked, I sent emails to Smidgy, we talked some more, we set up the meet and that brings us to December 2, 2012. As Nebo recently told you, he picked the bar. Who was I to argue with the man. I could do for a brew or two, or three, heck maybe even four. Why limit myself? Oh thats right, Im the driver. Better just keep it down to three at a time then.

We set the meeting time for 2:30 pm at the Dawa Bar. When we first set up the meeting, AK was scheduled to close at 5. We got lucky, by the time we actually went they (they being the CMs with the power to change the closing time) changed the closing time to 6. Works out great for us. We get to spend an extra hour with them.

Before I get into the actual meet, let me back track a little bit on this day. Just like Nebo and Smidgy, our trio got to AK around 9. Lady H and I were staying 2 weeks. DSis whom well call Jag from this point on, because its the shortened version of JagQT her Dis user name; even though weve only heard from her a couple of times. Jag isnt staying the full 2 weeks like we are. She didnt have enough time off from work. At some point today, Lady H and I would have to go to guest services to add some extra days to our park tickets.

We wandered around AK wondering if we would stumble upon, or see Nebo and Smidgy at some point in the park. I really dont want to stumble into Nebo, because then I know well both go down. And weve seen what happens when Nebo goes down. Ill just keep a look out for them.

Alert alert. We have A Nebo sighting. Will approach with caution as to not to spook it away.

Advise extreme caution and patience as the uncommon Nebo is very skittish...

... or just appears that way as the Nebo is frequently seen falling over and around things.

Who ever thought we would be finding Nebo at Nemo? Wasnt it Nemo that we were supposed to be finding and not Nebo? Anyways, when we first spotted them, we didnt get a chance to go and say hi. They were on one side of the stage and we were on the other and no way Im giving up these seats. We were some of the first people in line.

Besides we can always talk to them after the show. Or not.

And very elusive. They snuck out when we weren't looking. That's ok. About an hour before our meet.

Yup, they snuck out while we were caught up in the show.

After Nemo, the trio decided to go to guest services, then on to our ADR at RFC. After a little R&R over at the RFC, it was time to go see if Nebo and Smidgy are as great in person as they are on this TR. Not before getting some, what did Nebo just call them? Lastpasses? Yeah, well get to those. The trio is headed towards EE and I look at the time. Think we better split up. This trio is now becoming a duo and one is going solo. You already know who landed up going solo.

After running the 5k at AK, I join up with the duel duos and were now a..........

Who said quintet? Yup. We can start a band now.

I cautiously approach the table where theyre all sitting. I can tell theyre already talking about me, because theyre laughing and pointing at me as Im walking towards them. Turns out that they were actually laughing because Nebo didnt recognize Lady H. Smidgy had to give Nebo his first cue and Lady H had to introduce herself and give him his second cue. I think he was expecting to see Cinderella instead of Ariel.

Nebo and Smidgy I presume? Nice to finally meet you two. Nebo and Smidgy are done with their first drink. Lady H, Jag and I have no drinks. Something is wrong with this picture. Were at a bar with no drinks. Nebo and I solve that problem. We go up to the bar and I replenish everyones drinks.

Now, Im not trying to be rude here; but I think Nebo may have been dipping into the prescription bottle again. He has the details right, just not all on this day. Yes, I did have my phone in my hand. No, I wasnt laughing; YET. I was actually checking the wait times app, plus posting this:

Here now with Nebo and Smidgy. Dr says the rash will go away and he gets the stiches out tomorrow, but no crutches or wheelchair this trip.

Im sure you realize by the picture Nebo posted, there were no stitches or rash. At least none that I know about. If he had any, I couldnt see them and he wasnt telling me.

Ponzi did post a Homer Nebo picture, but not on this day. I went back to the beginning of the TR to verify this information. He is right that Jag disappeared, but I dont think he realized that Smidgy did also. Not too long after we met up with them, Mickeys Jingle Jungle Christmas Parade (thinks thats what its called) was starting. Smidgy and Jag slowly made their way over to watch the parade, while Lady H and I kept Nebo company.

Smidgy and Jag returning from watching the parade


After we had downed our drinks, we made our way over to EE. When we got there, believe it or not, there was still Last/Fast/Blast (pick one) Passes left. Now, Nebo says Im daring and a hazard to his health. Let me tell you how daring Nebo is. Not as daring as me, but he went on EE just as many times as I did. Sure he wants you to believe I twisted his arm and dragged him on the ride. Thats only because I had to guide him through the queue. This is how this played out.

I got 3 FPs for Lady H, Jag and myself. Smidgy went and got 2 for her and Nebo. Well yeah, we all know Smidgy dont do EE, so she really got 2 for Nebo. The time was getting close until the next set of FPs was available for our tickets. Not wanting to play dumb wife, Lady H gives up her FP to Nebo. Well use the 3 we have since we only have 20 minutes left. Then Ill get 3 more and Lady H said she would play dumb wife the next go round. Nebo wouldnt stop hassling her until she agreed.

Now heres a little something to think about. With the 3 FPs we have, and the 2 that Nebo has, and the 3 more Im going to get; that makes a total of 8 FPs we have to use.

I went 3 times. Nebo went 3 times (even though he only told you about 2 of those). Jag went 2 and Lady H went 1. If you add those up, that would be a total of 9 rides among the 4 of us. We each used a FP each time, no single rider and no stand-by. Where did we get the extra FP? And no, we didnt find one or somebody handed us one. We used only what we had. By now, Im sure youve figured it out; but Ill tell you anyways just in case you havent.

First ride: T_Man, Nebo and Jag.
I said I twisted Nebos arm and dragged him through the queue. Thats pretty close to the truth. I didnt drag him, but merely helped guide him through the queue. We get up to the CM who collects the FPs. He asks how many, I tell him 3, he collects our FPs and points us to our rows. Jag and I ride together, and Nebo is by himself. We get on the ride, enjoy and were done for this round. Once we get off the ride Nebo says, I still have my ticket and holds it up. Yup, the CM didnt collect his FP and this is how we got the extra FP.

2nd ride: T_Man and Nebo.
The problem we have now is, the FP that the CM didnt collect, that Nebo is still holding in his hand expires in 5 minutes and with the new FP enforcement, we have to decide quick if we want to go again. Nebo explains the situation to Smidgy, she hands me a FP since he still has the one I gave him and off we go on a back to back on EE.

Heres a few pics of Nebo on EE.
I can't tell if he's nervous in this picture, or if he has to go to the used beer department.


I'm guessing it was the used beer department. He looks a little relieved. That explains the wet seat.


3rd ride (the one Nebo didnt tell you about): T_Man, Nebo, Lady H and Jag.
After the 2nd ride, I go right away and get some more FPs. In order for all us to go together, we have to wait about 30 minutes for our FPs to overlap with the last pass Nebo has. This gave us all time to use our park bottles. You know the ones that Smidgy got caught with one time. This is also the point in time I was laughing at what Ponzi had posted. It still wasnt the Nebo Simpson pics, but rather this.

Hey Mike, tell Nebo that he has 8 posts on his own TR and there's four other people with more posts than him.

Nebo just laughed and told us about Ponzi and post counts. Ponzi is a fun guy to talk to yada yada yada.

Soon were done with our drinks and the time has come for our last ride on EE. Its getting dark by this time and I cant wait to ride EE in the dark. Nebo doesnt want to feel embarrassed about a man walking him through the queue this time, so Lady H takes him by the arm to guide him through the queue. Yes, poor Smidgy is left alone waiting for us. Which probably suits her just fine. Shes probably thinking better them than me. Nebo rides with Lady H this round. I gotta say, it was really fun riding EE in the dark.

After the chills and thrills are over, we make our way over for the last showing of the FOTLK.

On the way we have to make a pit stop. Anybody thats followed our TR knows what pit stop Lady H and I make. Yup, time for a beer. We stop at Pizzafari since its one the last few places open. FOTLK starts in 20 minutes, plenty of time to drink a beer; right?

Nebo and Smidgy split a beer.


By the way, anybody notice Lady H was wearing a Miss Bunny shirt?

Lady H, Jag and I had to guzzle ours down pretty quick to make it inside in time. 5 minutes before the show time, Jag disappears again. Well I know where she was going, but Nebo didnt know. We all hurry to make it inside before they close the doors. Still no sign of Jag. I guess shes going to miss it. The CMs are still letting people in through a side door. We spot her just as the show begins. We wave like lunatics so she could see us. She starts to walk across the floor, but a CM stops her. He almost didnt let her through, but we told the CM she was with us. Come to think about it, that CM didnt even want us sitting where we were sitting. We sat there anyways and nobody came over to tell us to move. Were all one big happy Dis family watching what will probably be some of the last showings of FOTLK. Rumors were at the time that it would be closing soon, along with Camp Minnie Mickey, to make way for the new Avatar Land. Now I hear it may be moved, so who knows.

Few pics from the show:

Heres Nebo.



Oops, I got it wrong like Nebo did. Well in a way. I guess we were all wart hogs since we were in the wart hog section.







After the show we make our way towards the exit. The park is officially closed. Our time with Nebo and Smidgy is done for today. On our way out, we make plans to meet at DHS on Tuesday.

It was really a wonderful day with wonderful people. Even though we had only met Smidgy and Nebo in person for the first time, we felt like we were reuniting with old friends. Well not old as in old, but as in old buddy old pal old friend old. Cant wait to see them again somewhere in this circle of life.

 

[smidgy]

mike, what a wonderful retelling of our meeting! I am all goosebumply!!!!!

nebo dear, I loved your chapter. it was very funny, and makes me miss disney all over again!

 

[nebo]

yeah Mike, well done, I have the bumps of geese too,,, will you come over and kiss them?

I'll get back to you, looks like I have some work to do.

 

[shan23877]

Great chapter Nebo. I enjoyed reading about your DISmeet, and looking forward to the next one.

DH caught and recorded the last episode of MASH today, and even though we've seen it many times we watched it again tonight. I cried a bit, and laughed a bit, and thought of you and Ponzerooni a lot.

 

[winkers]

I love a good dismeet! It means you move from the imaginery friend collum to real life.

 

[Thumper_Man]

mike, what a wonderful retelling of our meeting! I am all goosebumply!!!!!

Thank you. I had fun reminiscing about the day as well.

nebo dear, I loved your chapter. it was very funny, and makes me miss disney all over again!

Yes Nebo, what a lovely chapter. Ponzi might be jealous now.

yeah Mike, well done, I have the bumps of geese too,,, will you come over and kiss them?

I'll leave that up to Smidgy and Ponzi. No offense, I like you; but I'm a married man. Lady H I don't think would approve.

I'll get back to you, looks like I have some work to do.

You'll get back to me? Sounds like I'm in trouble or something.

Oh! Almost forgot. Great mini-chapter M Ross (Mike?). Add a few more typos and commas and I would'a thought it was Nebo.

I mean really.... nobody has that much bad luck!

I especially liked the turnstile bit.

I second Pkondz's statements above M Ross. Your mini-chapter was great! I find myself praying, crossing my fingers, and tossing salt over my shoulder that I don't "inherit" Neboitis when I am in Disney.

Great Chapter about meeting the Thumpers Nebo!

But.....hold up, wait just a minute. Regarding the feet/toe rant/tangent, what pray tell were you wearing when we met? And what pray tell were you wearing when you made The Indiana Jones stunt show stairs your personal sled ride?

If those were Reeboks you were wearing my friend they were sadly missing most of the necessary material unless of course they were a convertible model!

If I recall, these "shoes" or "clip clops" in Nebo speak and I use these terms loosely because I think you have worn them since you were, oh about ten, were definitely revealing Nebo "toesies".

By the way Pkondz, when is your upcoming trip to Europe?

I'm looking forward to reading about it!
