Overdue and Overpacked II: The LaLas Take on the World: EPILOGUE ON PAGE 58

[kmchar1]

Lovin' your humor. I'm a Disney Cast Member and I'm definately printing this baby out and showing everyone at work.

PS: I know the Red Power Ranger. He is the bomb!!!

 

[ZZUB]

Rolling slabs of shale down a hill into a minivan.

Now THAT'S some good tv rat thar.

Apparently ZZUB likes him some soup.

I reckon if I was the kind of person who had a tag, that would be a funny one to have. Because it's real.

So as I stood there looking around, I found myself missing the Mulligatawny. I wasn’t missing the meat so much because there was plenty of that. Just no Mulligatawny. I asked the chef standing behind the counter (who looked just like Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman) for the low down. Then I leaned on the sneeze guard, drummed my fingers, and did my best “Hoo Wah! Hoo Wah!” I’m not sure why. It just felt like the thing to do. Apparently they only make that particular soup on certain days of the week.

Did you also, for no reason at all, start straightening your hair and wearing in down in your face? Did you get a new armoire as well?

It was really nice. We had a great time just relaxing, rocking, and cutting up out there while we checked out the scenery.

For all my desire to go, go, go at Disney World, I love me some relax time. Especially when you've discovered some great little nook or alcove if you will. No lie, some of the best times we've had in Disney have been sitting somewhere just hanging out and laughing.

Outside. It’s the new alcove.

Not only has "it's the new" not gotten old, but this is freaking mulligatawny.

Mulligatawny: it's the new LOL.

 

[kpk89]

Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala~

Phew~

I am worried about you. Do you really think that ecoli germs and where they come from are unique to spinach crops? I know arugula is all fancy and highbrow but it is not above a little contamination.

I am so glad I got to tell you that months AFTER you ate and loved the arugula.

Arugula. Is also very fun to say! It's the new Mulligatawny! (too soon?)

Can't wait to hear about the pony ride with Decrepid. Chap, that's its name, duh. Lala knows that. And she knows how to spell decrepit.

 

[DJR]

Me: Excuse me, sir. Is this spinach?
Chef: No ma’am. It’s arugula.
Me: Arugula, huh? Are you sure?
Chef: (pause) Yes ma’am, I’m quite sure.
Me: Well it looks like spinach to me. And I don’t want Ecoli. Cause that doesn’t sound like a fun time, you know what I’m sayin’? I’d like to avoid that if possible.
Chef: Yes ma’am. I’m sure. It’s arugula.
Me: Well, okay. But only if you’re sure.

Come on, live a little! That's some good e-coli.

But it’s especially beautiful at night. And unfortunately my pictures just don’t do it justice.

You're right about that

The very second our storyteller opened her mouth, this guy immediately went limp and fell asleep.

That’s right. He’s snoozing. Out like a light. There may even be some drool involved.

That ZZUB do get around don't he? Maybe that's why he's so tired.

Talk about a Neverending Story.

Kind of like this trip report.

 

[ZZUB]

That ZZUB do get around don't he? Maybe that's why he's so tired.

ZZUB don't need a manziere or a bro. If you know what I mean.

 

[Sneezie]

How's it hangin'? You know I don't normally respond to threads...I'm like Michael Jackson, I don't come out very much, but when I do I cause a stir! Yours was the first trip report I ever read and you are still my favorite! You have a comedic genius about you, girl!!

I usually wait until you have a few chapters up, copy it to a Word file and read it at work (since the internet police are always on the lookout here ). I have to stop that however, because the other day I found myself in Barnes and Nobles asking if they had the latest LaLa chapter? I swear I am addicted to your written word. That story about the woman trying to get out of the elevator was pure Classic! I know I'm threatening to show my age, but you are the bomb-diggity

 

[LaLa]

Chappy: Yoo'd bee on Ignor rite now hadd yew knot maid mee laff owt lowd bak their. Yer funnny. Oar arr u? Iz thiss bothuringg yoo?

Suzflee: The Zebra Domes have some sort of coffee flavored mousse inside them. There's also a thin layer of something resembling cake I think. On the bottom. I don't know what the coating is, but it's really good. And there's chocolate involved. If you don't try it for any other reason, try it for the specks of chocolate on the bottom. Seriously. They really are good.

Jami: I can't believe you printed the whole trip report out already and put it in a Belle binder, no less. You rock woman! And thanks for taking me to Disney with you. And Stormalong Bay. That's very cool. Because at this point, I'll take Disney any way I can get it. Did I remind you to turn over and reapply sunscreen? Cause if not, I should have.

Frickles: Okay, you're on Ignore. For the whole strawberry thing. And for some other things as well, none of which I can remember. Because now I'M numb.

NM: Yeah, I guess I'm a fan of the Dean. He is pretty cool after all. Not as cool as those tri county belt sander races though. Cause that's some good family entertainment right there. I'm so psyched that you're doing Free Dining! And what are you talking about, you might get a Dole Whip?! Just do it, woman. That's an order. Or else Frick and I will track you down and do something that you won't like. I don't know what yet. But I'm sure we'll come up with something between now and then.

samc: I was just playin'. Or was I? ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ukwildcat: Not one person mentioned the Wildcat. No, not one. And personally I'm numb that no one mentioned a bulldog. NOT EVEN ME! I was too busy playing along with the "Let's See How Many Times We Can Say Giraffe" thing to actually think of any college mascots at the time.

SoccerDogwithEars: Listen to your mother. She's smart. She knows of what she speaks.

MouseDogMom: Even though the pictures were crummy, I'm glad to know that I could take you there while you sat behind your desk at work. If only for just a few minutes. Cause that makes it worth it. To me.

Tinkgurl: It's not a sales pitch. You really should try Boma. If you do, you may be one of the lucky guests treated to free Zebra Domes. But act quickly. It's only for a limited time and it only comes with the purchase of a free dining package. Of course. And once they're gone, they're gone.

kmchar1: Glad you're enjoying the TR. Make sure you give Red my regards! Because he is so the bomb.

ZZUB: I'm pretty sure I could come up with a more appropriate tag for you than the soup one. It wouldn't focus so much on the soup. But it might just rhyme. With soup. And to answer your question, yes I actually do straighten my hair occasinally for no reason at all and I just may have gotten a new armoire. Which was stolen. But then I got a better one. Along with an awesome recipe for Mulligatawny! Among others. Or did I? Borg on the down time at Disney though. It's funny to me that we can spend so much time planning and sometimes the unplanned times are the moments we remember the most.

kpk: The only reason I keep even mentioning the whole arugula vs. spinach thing is so I can type that word out and say it in my head. ARUGULA. It IS fun to say, isn't it? Cue Decrapid Chappy with a Redneck joke.

DJR: Why you gotta be hatin' on the pictures? I warned ya. DED though. Over the ZZUB thing.

ZZUB: Even DEDDer over the comeback. And no, we don't know what you mean.

Sneezie: Good to see you back around and I'm glad to know you're still enjoying the TR. I wouldn't be comparin' myself to Michael Jackson though. And the next time you're in Barnes and Noble, ask them where the ZZUB section is. Then throw yourself on the ground, kick your feet and let the rage take over if they act like they don't know what you're talking about. That's what I do anyway. Or do I??????

 

[Grammyof2]

All caught up!

Now BOMA - loved me some Boma in September, loved it. December was less than stellar. Should we make them aware that rotating the menu doesn't really work for us. Cause it don't. There was no soup for me either. Not over it yet.

LALALALA - I have never recovered from the Romper Room let down either. I had to put a pan lid in front of my face and say "I see Grammy" The scars from that may never heal. NEVER!

DED. Was that not the ultimate No Soup For You moment?!

 

[njbeachbum]

Hey LaLa,

A new reader here. I am caught up and can maybe get some work done tomorrow.

Or can I?

I love your writing style. You ought to think about publishing this story as a novel, or series of very long novels.

I suggest the following title:

The LaLa's in The World:
or how I learned to love the inner workings of a southern woman's mind​

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

I was innocently trying to avoid work when I decided to check out this "LaLa" Zzub is always mentioning. That was Monday. I have finally made it thru your trip report and it was totally worth the gnashing of teeth from my husband, the cries of attention from my children, the wrath of employees wanting a paycheck...ok maybe not the last one. But it has been good.

(Whispering to LaLa only, I get all your jokes. I must be a hick from the south too. I can't believe you haven't referenced Baby Got Back yet!)

I don't bother with Skittles. If I am going to eat color coated candies they better be packing chocolate from M&M Mars.

And your whole posse of commentators. Totally Funny! This really might be the BEST trip report ever!

Lastly what is wrong with Cindi Lauper? The girl just wanna have fun!

 

[Suzflee]

ZZUB don't need a manziere or a bro. If you know what I mean.

You know you've been around here too long when you get Zzub's jokes the first time around...
Zzub obviously has better pecs than that guy!

 

[DJR]

Check out the pic of sleeping man by the fire...I believe Zzub is referring to his lack of "buffness" in his pectoralis majors (or should that be pectorali?).

So he says. We need proof!

Or does he? Frankly, I wouldn't be so quick to believe him. Two words. Gold medal.

Yes, DJR. I think we do. Because the proof is in the pudding cup.

(Whispering to DisneyWorldDelight only: I'm gonna be singing Afternoon Delight in my head all day now, complete with the skyrockets in flight)

I'm really glad you found your way over here and that you've been shirking your duties and enjoying the reading material. ZZUB, that other hick from the South, is actually good for something, huh? Thanks for joining the posse of commentators, who are much funnier than I ever thought about being. FYI. TFI. I'll try to work in Baby Got Back somewhere (or will I?) and just so you know, there is nothing wrong with Syndee Lauper. Sanjaya singing Cindee Lauper on 80s night would be wrong. Way wrong. But as for Sindy herself, the chick's cool.

Thanks so much for hopping on board, NJBeachBum. Love the screen name. Love the title. Love the joke about how long the TR is. You're gonna fit right in here.

 

[ZZUB]

Yes, DJR. I think we do [need] . . . proof.

Judging from your nonsensical ramblings about everything from moonpies to toilets, I'd say you've had enough proof. Looks like 80 proof to me. You've had more proof than Laura Bush's daughters.

Further proof that you're not to be believed.

As much as I would love to slam you right now, for the life of me, I can't stop laughing. That's gotta be one of the best comebacks I've ever read. Much better than the typical "Rub a lamp" response you might see elsewhere. Shame you're on Ignore from here on out cause you seem like a funny guy. Mean. Dumb as a stump. And obviously a pathological liar. But still funny.

 

[ILuvWishes!]

Whew!! It feels like I have been to Disney World with you family. You have one of the best TR on the boards. It is very detailed. How do you remember everything?

Thanks for the trip! I look forward to the rest!

 

[Chapter 11]

She doesn't. She just makes everything up. In fact, I'm not even sure she's been to Disney World.

 

[DJR]

Ouch! Your turn LaLa

 

[Frickles]

Is there a hootenanny going on here? People want to see Zzub's pecs? LaLa's a pudding snob? Chappie's bucking for some points?
