P.O.T.C. On Stranger Rides! The Missing Chapter,,Final Thoughts,, Preview Thoughts.

[nebo]

We almost picked this for August. It was #2 after CBR. Jimmy wants Pop!

I was just wondering,,, do you remember little Jimmy from the second report, Guess who's coming to free Dinner? And what a delightfull little boy he turned out to be? Every time you mention Jimmy my mind goes back to that terrifying spawn of the ,,,,,,, oh I"m just kidding,, but it started on the plane with him,,,, and,,, hmm,, that was also a trip staying at Pop Century,,,, hmmm,,,,, hmmm,, he was about 4 at the time,,,, not quite six years ago, and how old is your Jimmy now? HMMMM?



Have seen once, WAY back in in 1982

Ok, you got me here, what am I missing,,, that's a picture of Sherman and Peabody,,,, why?


Yes it will

So, is Pop your final answer for your next stay? Are you still going to Universal? Oh, good news,,, looks like they will now have small fridges at Pop included in the cost!

that sounds great, but I've heard of RN, LPN but what is a Nurse Practitioner? And I'll bet you wish you lived near us so you can have job security?

I definately could have job security if I lived near you nebo A Nurse Practitioner is kind of like a junior doctor. Nurse Practitioners can assess patients, diagnose patients, write prescriptions, etc. In most states (Texas included which is where I live) we can not write for certain "big gun" narcotics (can write for viks but not morphine) and we can't go into solo practice, we have to be in a practice with at least part time doctor supervision. Otherwise we function pretty much like docs, most Nurse Practitioners do either Family Practice, Women's Health or Pediatrics but more and more specialists are using Nurse Practitioners in their practices. I know, I'm long winded!!

Wow, that's terrific, like Smidgy said,, a double dose of congratulations!

You're story got my heart racing and sent chills up and down my spine because I know of people with a very similar story in the same part of the country that did not have a happy outcome. Obviously like the star of any story I knew you made it home safely but I couldn't help but shutter at the thought of what could have been.

Haha,,, it would be nice if once in a while the answer to "what could have been" would be that it turned out to be a plain, boring drive home,,,, or there.


I still have a few pages to catch up on, this board keeps kicking me off and I'm not sure which is the last page I read. Hope you keep the report live till you start the pre-trippy for the next adventure.

Well, sorry,, this basically WAS the pre-trippy report.
Pretty darn exciting, wasn't it?

Thanks so much for the tips, hints, insite and most of all the laughs. I went through a few ugly months during the course of this trip report and your humor really helped to get me through.

Great! I knew those strange white coats they keep making me wear would come in handy, I can also be the Good Humor Man!

(um, let me guess, he's way before most of your's time, right?)

Ok, enough mush and compliments, I need Pkondz here to lighten up the mood!!!

Yes, by all means, "Send in the Clowns!"

I've fallen a time or 2, or 3, ok a lot. I will randomly put a bookmark so I know where I left off. This is just a helpful little tip.

Ok, I just know I"m going to regret this,,,, doesn't the book mark fall off the monitor? And what good does that do? Ok, you right on a post it note and stick that on the screen?
Let the sarcastic "You dope" laughter begin!

Thanks, I will give that a try"

Oh yeah,,, I'm doomed!

I feel like I need to ride in on a white horse or... this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGx94VPb8V8

I am almost positive I saw that when it aired the first time,, and I"m again almost positive it was on Dick van Dyke's variety show,,, Van Dyke and Company,,,, which is not going to be bleeped out by the Dis,,,,
The show didn't last long,,, they kept changing the night,,, the time,,, you never knew when it was on,,, but at times it could be really funny.

Mr Kaufman was a genius.

He certainly was strange.
But I did not like it at all when he took on the "Vic Ferrari" personna near the end of Taxi's run,,, I liked him better as Latka.
I can stil hear him singing,,, "Ebi ge da, Ebi ge da" (his translation of the Disco hit, "Stayin' Alive, stayin' alive."

Nebo & Smidgy, I've been a longtime reader and lurker. I think I remember de-lurking on one of your other trip reports, but I didn't catch this report until you were done with the epilogue. I'm looking forward to reading both your mini-report after your April/May trip and the big trip with Jackson in August!

I remember you,,, just in time for your annual Cameo appearance,,,, I'll let you know if I start another next time.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

hold it, what was that last part about enjoying shopping,,,,,

You know, how you really enjoyed the experience, trying on different hats and stuff and never thought you would like it so much, of course, DUH!

 

[SgtClaymore]

The party can begin now that I'm here! J/J

So you're actually a Mouse? Wow! Could we be related? My family are the Scottish Mouses, came over in 1721. Oh, wait, you're the Canadian Mouses.
Never mind.

 

[melk]

I just caught up with the ending of your trip. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing with us. I will anxiously look forward to reading about your next adventure, a trip report by Nebo is always a good read .

My hero

He was so funny!

 

[cp'ersmom]

So now that this report is basically over I am going to read the past reports. Does anyone have a favorite or a suggestion where to start? That's where to START, not where to GO!

Thanks

 

[pkondz]

So you're actually a Mouse? Wow! Could we be related? My family are the Scottish Mouses, came over in 1721. Oh, wait, you're the Canadian Mouses.
Never mind.

So I'm sitting in front of the computer thinking, "Mouse? What on earth are you talking about? It's a funny bit by Andy Kaufman, there's no mouse. Does it have something to do with what I said about riding in on a white horse? Do mice ride horses where you're from? Totally lost here."

I was going to post one of these -> but thought about it some more. "Did a mouse go by on the video and I missed it? Did the link change to some mouse video?"

Finally, the light bulb went off. Oh! D'oh! I even used that mouse in the google search for the video!

Now I'm wondering if everybody else (or anybody else) gets it.

 

[jcc0621]

So, is Pop your final answer for your next stay? Are you still going to Universal? Oh, good news,,, looks like they will now have small fridges at Pop included in the cost!

And wasn't overly thrilled about the fridge since are driving and will have a cooler anyway - LOL

Jimmy is 8 now (Will be 9 in September) - 3rd grade!

Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman and the "wayback machine"

Oh, Mighty Mouse, we really might be related. I'm slow on the uptake, too.

 

[bankr63]

BTW - has anyone been keeping score? Who won the Nebo Injuries Pool? Who'd a thunk the numbers would be that low?

I told you you should have taken the under.

And wasn't overly thrilled about the fridge since are driving and will have a cooler anyway - LOL

Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman and the "wayback machine"

What? Are you driving down? I thought you hardly ever drove, so how will you have a cooler?
And,,,, ahemmm,,,,, you stilll didn't answer the Uni question,,, r u going still?

I will go as far as saying I can see how that can happen,,,, when I read her post I spent , oh, at least 3 seconds thinking about the mouse aspect, but Andy never does actually say the name,,, but like I mentioned,, I remember it when it was new.
To be honest though,, it was a one trick pony gag, that I thought got old really quick, especially when it was then repeated everywhere, I think he even did it on 60 minutes!
Kind of like if I was to get hurt during a trip report, and then it happened again next trip,, and then,,,oh,,, um , never mind.

So now that this report is basically over I am going to read the past reports. Does anyone have a favorite or a suggestion where to start? That's where to START, not where to GO!

Thanks

Cool, I have a chance to boost sales,,,Copper,,, my fave is the first half of the double feature, From Oils Well to Jingle Bells.. iF you've read that my second fave is Still Feeding Nebo,,,, bizarre time period for us, and included a snipped from trips that didn't get a report. Oh yeah,,, that one included Uni , too. And Blood!

 

[orangecats2]

I can finally post!!!

Just wanted to say good bye for now to everyone and hope to see you all for the next Nebo TR. Thanks for all the laughs and good times. It would be great if we could all meet up one day. But for now we can just be imaginary friends.

I need to change my ticker. Free dining came out on Monday and I called and got it but had to switch to CSR. Didn't want to do Pop cause then it's only the quick service dining and we like our TS's. So DH and I will be there 9/16 - 9/21 at CSR, free dining with six day base tickets. If anyone will be there the same time, let me know as I'd love to meet a Disser!

You know, how you really enjoyed the experience, trying on different hats and stuff and never thought you would like it so much, of course, DUH!

Keep it up and I'll see if you can be transferred to being in charge of the Sounds Dangerous fan and appreciation club!

The party can begin now that I'm here! J/J

Ok, and if we're not there, start without us.

I just caught up with the ending of your trip. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing with us. I will anxiously look forward to reading about your next adventure, a trip report by Nebo is always a good read .

... And if you print them out the canaries and parakeets seem to really like reading them.

I'm pretty sure I saw it the first time too. But, yeah, it really only works once. If you haven't seen Man on the Moon with a scarily good Jim Carrey, give it a shot.

Ok, enough mush and compliments, I need Pkondz here to lighten up the mood!!!

Yes, by all means, "Send in the Clowns!"

Well, okay. But remember... you asked.

 

[jmm476]

Well, okay. But remember... you asked.

This made me laugh out loud at work. Thanks for getting me in trouble.

 

[Thumper_Man]

Well, okay. But remember... you asked.

I would never call you a dope, dope. But you know, never thought about writing it on a post-it. You might have something there.

If you really have no idea what I'm talking about, a bookmark is saving the link to a web page. They come in handy when reading threads like yours that have over 100 pages. Like your August TR that will be coming up. Lady H and I may be in DL when you start writing it. If you're on page 25, we leave and come back to find out you're already on page 52, then I don't have to try to remember where I left off.

 

[Sandy Mouse]

Well, okay. But remember... you asked.

That's almost as good as your Nebo parting the water shot.

 

[yellowtink]

That's almost as good as your Nebo parting the water shot.

Yeah, but this one is a little creepier.
