Nebored - what we all are in Nebo and Smidgy's absence.

I like it!

Neidgyenvy - jealous that Nebo and Smidgy are at WDW when I'm not

 

[Moosemomma]

Nebo and Smidgy-
Sorry I missed the send off, kids started school last week and it was a little crazy getting everything and everyone ready. Hope you are having a fantastic time and can't wait to read all of your adventures when you return!

And now, please pardon my hijack while I jump up and down and yell-


I'm GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DH's friend had DVC points that had to be used or they would expire so we're joining them for 5 nights in November! Booked our flights last night and haven't told the kids yet. They are going to be soooooo excited!


Sorry, I now return you to your regularly scheduled Nebo trip report

 

[pkondz]

Okay so it's about 11 more days 'til they're back... or 10 plus or minus 1 if you prefer.

I think it's about time we got a poll going here. I'll present the categories and you plug in whatever numbers you want. Closest to the correct number at the end of the trip wins... wait for it... well, nothing really. Maybe bragging rights? Imagine how your friends and co-workers who are already sick and tired of hearing you talk about DisneyLand (doesn't matter how many times you say Disney World, Disney World!), will be thrilled when you announce that you had the correct Nebo/Smidgy poll results!

A. How often did Nebo fall down?
B. How often did he bleed afterwards?
C. How many times did Smidgy say, "How many times did I tell you to watch out!"
D. How often did Nebo require professional medical attention? (includes dentists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, nurses, ER doctors, proctologists, etc.)
E. How often did Nebo inflict pain on himself and not fall down? (Examples would be: stubbed toe, barked shins or banged knees or elbows)
F. How often did he try to prank Smidgy? (Think, tube -o -water)
G. How often was he successful? (Think balloon toss)

Okay, there ya go! I'll go first to get the ball rolling.... or maybe this will die a quick and painless (except for me) death. I want a chance to win here so I'm going with as much accuracy as possible (No million times, answers)

A. 3
B. 1
C. 0 (She's long since given up trying to warn him)
D. 1
E. 17
F. 4
G. 0

Good luck!

 

[melk]

A. How often did Nebo fall down? A lot
B. How often did he bleed afterwards? Every time
C. How many times did Smidgy say, "How many times did I tell you to watch out!" Every time
D. How often did Nebo require professional medical attention? (includes dentists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, nurses, ER doctors, proctologists, etc.)Two, definitely the dentist and I'm going out on a limb to go with the proctologist...can you imagine the stories?
E. How often did Nebo inflict pain on himself and not fall down? (Examples would be: stubbed toe, barked shins or banged knees or elbows) Too many to count
F. How often did he try to prank Smidgy? (Think, tube -o -water) ten
G. How often was he successful? (Think balloon toss) zero

 

[Backstage_Gal]

OK, I'll play

A. How often did Nebo fall down? 3
B. How often did he bleed afterwards? 2
C. How many times did Smidgy say, "How many times did I tell you to watch out!" 1 - just couldn't help herself
D. How often did Nebo require professional medical attention? (includes dentists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, nurses, ER doctors, proctologists, etc.) 2 dentist visits
E. How often did Nebo inflict pain on himself and not fall down? (Examples would be: stubbed toe, barked shins or banged knees or elbows) 4
F. How often did he try to prank Smidgy? (Think, tube -o -water) 3
G. How often was he successful? (Think balloon toss) 0

 

[Self_resqing_princz]

I'll play... I"m bored at work:
A. How often did Nebo fall down? 6 (with the one bad eye, I'm going to up the anty)
B. How often did he bleed afterwards?1
C. How many times did Smidgy say, "How many times did I tell you to watch out!" 3
D. How often did Nebo require professional medical attention? probably about 100, but how often did he actually GET medical attention, I'm going with 0, because he's a man... and that's what men do-- they take pain killers... or in this case, vikes and just go on.
E. How often did Nebo inflict pain on himself and not fall down? 5
F. How often did he try to prank Smidgy? 3
G. How often was he successful? 0 -she knows him too well and will probably reverse prank him at least once.

 

[McDisney]

I'm in

A. How often did Nebo fall down? 6
B. How often did he bleed afterwards? 2
C. How many times did Smidgy say, "How many times did I tell you to watch out!" 0 Because she didn't know about it until she looked back behind her
D. How often did Nebo require professional medical attention? (includes dentists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, nurses, ER doctors, proctologists, etc.) 0 because he also prefers the empathy, and his own local dentist
E. How often did Nebo inflict pain on himself and not fall down? (Examples would be: stubbed toe, barked shins or banged knees or elbows) 4
F. How often did he try to prank Smidgy? (Think, tube -o -water) 4, with one that backfired on him.
G. How often was he successful? (Think balloon toss) 1, because she allowed it

You left out "How many times will Nebo inflict pain on some poor unsuspecting person?"

 

[pkondz]

You left out "How many times will Nebo inflict pain on some poor unsuspecting person?"

Nope! Thought about it and decided there were too many variables.
1. How many times will Nebo inflict pain on some poor unsuspecting person? 0 - I can't see Nebo deliberately hurting someone and he's more likely to injure himself before someone else.
2. How many times will Nebo inflict mental pain on some poor unsuspecting person? 0 - Again, I don't see Nebo being deliberately cruel to someone... who doesn't deserve it. (See #3)
3. How many times will Nebo inflict mental pain on some twit who oh, so richly deserves it? Too high a number to calculate.

 

[pkondz]

BTW, what do you guys think of the new avatar? I had the same DIS designed Marvin the Martian for the last 4 1/2 years and decided a new avatar was needed to go with the new tag. I found the pic on the net (ain't Google a wun'erful thing?), cleaned it up a bit, added the drop shadow and changed the background to match the DIS background. Comments? Critiques? I did make an animated one but couldn't get it to work as the avatar. Here it is below:

 

[GrandBob]

BTW, what do you guys think of the new avatar?

Love it!

But shouldn't he be holding some pecans?

-Bob

 

[njtinkmom]

A. How often did Nebo fall down? 4
B. How often did he bleed afterwards? 3 (1 near miss!)
C. How many times did Smidgy say, "How many times did I tell you to watch out!" 0 Because she is tired of saying it!
D. How often did Nebo require professional medical attention? (includes dentists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, nurses, ER doctors, proctologists, etc.) 4 - this is a trick question - he may have REQUIRED it but did he UTILIZE it - that answer is 0
E. How often did Nebo inflict pain on himself and not fall down? (Examples would be: stubbed toe, barked shins or banged knees or elbows) 11
F. How often did he try to prank Smidgy? (Think, tube -o -water) 0 - because he has finally caught on that this is pointless
G. How often was he successful? (Think balloon toss) 0 - refer to (F)

 

[bankr63]

You left out "How many times will Nebo inflict pain on some poor unsuspecting person?"

Which leads to my first Neboism: Nebosphere: (n) a zone of potential danger that Asian (or other small foreign nationals) dare not enter on fear of GBH due to collision.

Let's just rub the lamp here and see...
A. How often did Nebo fall down? Twice
B. How often did he bleed afterwards? Both of them
C. How many times did Smidgy say, "How many times did I tell you to watch out!" None. Now "eye rolls" are off the scale though
D. How often did Nebo require professional medical attention? (includes dentists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, nurses, ER doctors, proctologists, etc.) I'm going with 3
E. How often did Nebo inflict pain on himself and not fall down? (Examples would be: stubbed toe, barked shins or banged knees or elbows) 4 (that he's going to admit to)
F. How often did he try to prank Smidgy? (Think, tube -o -water) Thrice
G. How often was he successful? (Think balloon toss) Once, third attempt will be the charm (sorry Smidgy!)

 

[buzz1121]

Wow! There was been quite a guessing game going on! I'll play.

A. How often did Nebo fall down? 3 - Hey, I'm feeling optimistic!
B. How often did he bleed afterwards? 1
C. How many times did Smidgy say, "How many times did I tell you to watch out!" None, saying anything doesn't prevent the inevitable
D. How often did Nebo require professional medical attention? (includes dentists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, nurses, ER doctors, proctologists, etc.) None, he's used to a little blood
E. How often did Nebo inflict pain on himself and not fall down? (Examples would be: stubbed toe, barked shins or banged knees or elbows) 3, Feeling optimistic.
How often did he try to prank Smidgy? (Think, tube -o -water) 2
G. How often was he successful? Ha, that's funny!


Pkondz, I like the new avatar!

I love it, very stylish. Animations drive me nuts, so none of that is good.
So overall:

 

[pkondz]

Love it!

But shouldn't he be holding some pecans?

-Bob

Good idea... but how am I going to do that without people wondering if he's holding feces? (Another one for Nebo)

Pkondz, I like the new avatar!

Thanks!

I love it, very stylish. Animations drive me nuts, so none of that is good.
So overall:

Thanks for the thumbsup Marita. But if animations drive you nuts (pecans?) how do you watch Disney animations? And when did they start being 'animations' and stop being 'cartoons'?

Imagine how your friends and co-workers who are already sick and tired of hearing you talk about DisneyLand (doesn't matter how many times you say Disney World, Disney World!), will be thrilled when you announce that you had the correct Nebo/Smidgy poll results!

A. How often did Nebo fall down? 3
B. How often did he bleed afterwards? Each time, so 3 again
C. How many times did Smidgy say, "How many times did I tell you to watch out!" 1, after which she gave up.
D. How often did Nebo require professional medical attention? (includes dentists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, nurses, ER doctors, proctologists, etc.) How often did he require it? He probably required it each time he fell, tried to play he-man and move pool loungers throwing out his back again, fell some more and bit down wrong on his bad tooth. Now how often he actually received medical attention, I would say 2. Only because he fell in the park and the CM's required him to get it..
E. How often did Nebo inflict pain on himself and not fall down? (Examples would be: stubbed toe, barked shins or banged knees or elbows) Each morning when he got up. So would that be 14? That's my guess anyways.
F. How often did he try to prank Smidgy? (Think, tube -o -water) Probably tried at least once a day. So going with 14 again.
G. How often was he successful? (Think balloon toss) 0. Smidgy would be expecting it this trip. She hardly ever lets her guard down.

Okay, there ya go! I'll go first to get the ball rolling.... or maybe this will die a quick and painless (except for me) death. I want a chance to win here so I'm going with as much accuracy as possible (No million times, answers)

Good luck!

We just gotta hope they give us an accurate count so we can see who wins.

 

[buzz1121]

So, do you guys think we should start a new game? I've been trying to think of a few ideas.

Do Nebo and Smidgy remind you of any TV or movie characters? This can be past or present characters, movies, or shows and they wouldn't necessarily have to be on the same show or movie. I'm thinking about the possibilities, but this has the potential to be really funny if we can get it going.

Is there a song title that you can think of that instantly shouts or describes Nebo or Smidgy? I think this may work best if we create a title, but there may be some song titles in existence that are equally as funny.

 

[buzz1121]

Movie/TV Character for Nebo - Mr. Magoo and potentially any character from Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm

Song Title - Uplifting Country Tune, "You haven't felt bad until ashotintheeye"

Anyone else want to play?
