Overdue and Overpacked III: A Tale of Two Cities ~Last Chapter~ 8/22 Page 33

[kelnit]

Well I am afraid to admit that I have lurked through your last 2 trip reports and have (gasp) lurked through ZZUB's as well. Try not to hold that against me. I am finely coming out (not from the closet) and joining in for real.

Can't wait to read more. Your trip reports always make me laugh!

 

[scrap4u]

WHAT?!

Maybe you weren't holding your mouth right.

But I gotta ask: did you let it melt a little before you ate it? Not the Dole Whip. The strawberry swirl. I know it sounds crazy but for some reason that makes a difference. Kind of like the chili cheese burger that tastes better when you tear it into pieces instead of eating it the regular way. And with that observation, I'm sure I just firmly secured the sick and twisted title myself.

Well--I never thought to let it melt some first. Of course it was 90 something degrees outside and 100% humidity so I'm sure it did melt pretty quick! I love strawberry anything too. But I think it might just have been too sweet on such a hot day whereas the Dole Whip seems more refreshing to me.

But then again--I have actually eaten fried pickles before. Not sure I would eat thm again but they were ok. So maybe that has my tastebuds all outta whack!

I'd quote more but I don't get the whole multi-quote thing.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

I am excited too to see another report.

But Universal????? You are on IGNORE!

 

[javamom]

LALA!! Our Yellow is back!

heh

 

[praisehisname]

Yay! Another LaLa trip report!!! So, when is the next update?

Waiting for a new Lost episode and looking for some closure on that freaky four toed statue on the beach.

I heard tell that y'all will never get an explanation for this. Apparently the show execs thought that was just to scary-freaky and didn't want it to ever appear on another episode. Now, I've never seen a single minute of the show, but I hear things. And the four-toed statue is too scary-freaky? Are these execs watching their own show?

And did I just use "I heard tell that y'all..." ? Carp. All the Yanks up here in Beantown are going to find me and hang me from somethin'.

We picked out some really pretty pearls in Japan and had matching pendants made so we could remember the trip forever.

The girl and I did. Not the boy and I.

That would be weird.

Not that there would be anything wrong with that.

Though somehow I don't think the littlest male La would be speaking to you much through his teenage years after you show off your matching pendants to all his friends whilst enjoying a Mother/Son dance at his school. Or ever through his teenage years. Yeah, probably a good thing you shared this experience with your sweet lil' gal.

In that moment, my dear, sweet husband was the pack of Mentos and the rest of the stuff was the 2 liter bottle of Coke.

The Mythbusters episode where they do this is my favoritest.

If pictures can be believed, Bora Bora looks pretty darn close. But I’m guessing the mice there don’t…

A) Wake you up in the morning and call you pal
B) Make kissing sounds and wiggle their noses at you
M) Have handlers who rush them off after only three minutes of damage

II) Have only 4 toes.

Yes, you read that right. Universal Orlando Resort. As we would find out later was the proper name for it. Not “the dark side” or “that other place” or even “C-R-A-P hole”

No flaming from me on this one. I've coupled many a trip to the World with a trip to the Other park. And the other Other park (Sea World). And though I have love for them too, they do pale in the light that is your Land of Yellow.

The place where pirates, princesses and pixie dust reside within forty seven square miles of happiness.

I'm laughing to myself because the first time I read this I read, "and dust reside within forty seven square miles of happiness." And then I thought to myself, "Geez, it's not that dirty. Then I re-read.

I'm so excited that you're writing this LaLa. And that I'm not on anyone's Ignore list.

Do you think the Scrambler's a Fastpass?

Can't wait for more.

 

[Frickles]

Also there’s this: no one threw up in or around a fanny pack or contracted a staph infection, there were no wardrobe malfunctions and I took home the gold at the POR Olympic Waterslide Event.

Yet again.

Some things will just never get old, and hearing about YOU taking the GOLD is one of them!

In that moment, my dear, sweet husband was the pack of Mentos and the rest of the stuff was the 2 liter bottle of Coke.

I'm sooo cracking up at this! Excellent comparison my friend! I often vacation with a pack of Mentos at Disney.

Me: Mmmyello?

After I told him “Mmmmbyebye”

Girl you know I'm rolling


LaLa!!!! I am SO happy that you got your hand out of that KFC bucket and you are back here sharing your tail with us again! You are the master and I have much to learn from you in regards to getting the Mento to go back! I can't wait to hear about the Dark Side and if they really do have cookies!!!

Excellent start my friend!

Another Lala Family adventure!!

Can't wait to hear more.....

Not so much the part about lurking through my last two, but the part about lurking through ZZUB's. Who reads that filth anyway?!

You know I'm kidding with you. Glad to see you come out of lurkdom. And with that misspelled word of yours, something tells me you'll fit in JUST FINE around here! AND on ZZUB's trip report as well.

No explanation neccessary.

Coming out of Lurkdom!

Can't wait to read more!

Thanks for joining in, Pirate Fish!

I'd quote more but I don't get the whole multi-quote thing.

Scrap4U, I think this question is bordering off topic and actually belongs on the Tech Board.

Except that I don't really.

I'm kidding. It took me roughly five years (give or take) to figure out multi-quote. Actually it's not that hard. Just copy and paste each section you want into your message body. Then highlight each one individually and click on the little cartoon bubble (aka text box?) at the top right of the field. In your tools. It's the one beside the postcard of the Smoky Mountains under a lemon yellow sky. It should wrap a set of quote tags around your selected text. Or so it claims. And that's it. Easy as cake. You ate fried pickles? You must've been at one of those fancy schmancy restaurants. I'm borg with you on those though. Not really my thing.

I am excited too to see another report.

But Universal????? You are on IGNORE!

DED.

You're not gonna notate that on my guest file, are you? I'd hate to see the run down of things that I've called about as it is. Adding "WENT TO THE DARK SIDE" on there probably won't get me any of those coveted 40% off email pin codes any faster.

LALA!! Our Yellow is back!

Well looky looky. It's the rockin' Javamom! Glad to see you Java! Your post made me yellow.

Yay! Another LaLa trip report!!! So, when is the next update?

Hey Praisehisname! Nice to see you over here. I just started working on the next installment. Which means I'll probably have it posted sometime after ZZUB's wife makes that butter grilled poundcake. Kidding. It won't be that long. I don't think.

I heard tell that y'all will never get an explanation for this. Apparently the show execs thought that was just to scary-freaky and didn't want it to ever appear on another episode. Now, I've never seen a single minute of the show, but I hear things. And the four-toed statue is too scary-freaky? Are these execs watching their own show?

Now THAT is some useful information right there. Doesn't surprise me though. Could it be that there's actually someone out there with more of a thing about funky, messed up toes than me? I can't stand to see a funky, messed up foot. Which is why after two years (or is it fiveteen?) that thing was still bothering me. Thanks for the closure.

I'm laughing to myself because the first time I read this I read, "and dust reside within forty seven square miles of happiness." And then I thought to myself, "Geez, it's not that dirty.

Have you seen the picture of the little fake room in the Living With the Land farmhouse?!

Another Lala Family adventure!!

Can't wait to hear more.....

Hey Nab! Long time no see. Thanks for jumping on board again!

LaLa!!!! I am SO happy that you got your hand out of that KFC bucket and you are back here sharing your tail with us again! You are the master and I have much to learn from you in regards to getting the Mento to go back!

FRICK! First of all, DED over the Mento. Secondly, a new pair of shoes should do the trick. I'm SO glad to see you over here, homechick! Thanks for stopping by, girl.

I can't wait to hear about the Dark Side and if they really do have cookies!!!

Oh they've got cookies allright. Real good cookies. Who knows. I may just devote an ENTIRE CHAPTER to them.

Or not.

 

[beckanoah]

Gawd forbid a million times, I've read your other trippies before (well after they were written) and I've seen you on ZZUB's reports too. So now I'm Here for the Party!


Better keep up the funny!

 

[Chapter 11]

LaLa!!!! I am SO happy that you got your hand out of that KFC bucket and you are back here sharing your tail with us again!

Well now, that would be something, um, well, unique to share.

 

[GeorgiaAristocat]

La!

Hi!

Waiting. Oh so patiently!!!



Oh. And. They now have the handy dandy multi-quote BUTTON at the bottom right corner of the posts. Just click on the " with + button on AS MANY PEOPLE as you want to quote. It's like magic. Only it's not. Much easier than the cut and paste option.

You are a flippin genius, woman!

You should've gone to law school. Thanks for that tip. You know, I've never even noticed that button. But I just tried it and you're right. It IS so much easier than before. Thanks for the hook up, GA! And just for that, you can quote all the bard you want and I won't put you on Ignore. Promise. Good to see you, chick.

Gawd forbid a million times there's no funny. Hi Beckanoah! So glad you came over for the party. But why are you quoting Gretchen Wilson?

Well now, that would be something, um, well, unique to share.

Speaking of Gretchen Wilson...

OH MY SWEET GOODNESS GRACIOUS IT'S A LALA TRIP REPORT.

Once I saw the title, I MIGHT have squealed. Loudly. And it might have caused my mother to come running. Just possibly. And then I might have explained the noise by saying, "Mom, it's a Lala trippy thing! It's all made of awesome and Disney World and yellow!"

And then maybe she rolled her eyes and left. Possibly.

What I DO know for sure is, I adore your trip reports! I never commented on earlier ones since I wasn't even registered yet, but I'm really pleased I can reply to this one.

And holy, you ventured into the shadow land known as Universal? You're a much, much braver soul than I.

 

[Frickles]

Somehow I hit the unsubscribe button for your report my friend.

I was aiming for Zzub's, but I missed.

So, I'm here resubscribing!!!!!

 

[kentman]

You actually made me laugh out loud - thanks!

Duckylady, your post made me smile. I'm really pleased you can reply to this one as well. And Universal wasn't really all that bad. Did you hear they have cookies? It's impossible to hate on a place where they serve good cookies.

Somehow I hit the unsubscribe button for your report my friend.

I was aiming for Zzub's, but I missed.

So, I'm here resubscribing!!!!!

I know the Frick Math class is full but can I sign up for the Frick Tech class instead? I've got a feeling the credit hours are the same.

Did YOU know about the multi quote button?

You actually made me laugh out loud - thanks!

And you actually made me feel better about accidentally double posting something the other day on ZZUB's trip report. Glad I could make you laugh, Kentman. Twice. And thanks for posting!

Wow, in early on a famous LaLa trip report. I'm doing the happy dance. Note to self, like several other reports around here (and you know who you are) don't read them at work. It's getting hard to explain the laughter to everyone else. Especially since I am the new kid. Maybe they just think I'm weird????

 

[LaLa]

Experience with this sort of thing tells me they probably do. Sorry to be the one to break it to ya. Next time they look at you funny because you're laughing at nothing, tell them you're just remembering that joke your boss cracked last week. You'll be golden. Or else you could tell them you're reading a trip report on a Disney message board. Make sure you run down a list of the screen names of the authors and watch yourself go from weird to gone in 60 seconds.

On second thought, I'd go with the first one.

Thanks for hopping on board, Stacybaeasm, and good luck with the new job!
