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

.

Hey, I know how we can bring the cost of the trip back even and where it should be at this time:
to make up for this unexpected bill we will just have to skip the Mai Tais at the Top of the World Lounge we were going to get tomorrow night!

The way the trip has been going so far not only would I not skip the Mai Tai's I would bring a couple of airline bottles to soup them up a little. I never met a Mai Tai I didn't like.

 

[nebo]

Ouch!! That is one big bill. Maybe that is why I tell Bill no when he wants to drive, I would be worried we would need some type of repairs, although the van is in great shape I would worry the entire time. I loved your MK pictures.

BTMR is such a great ride, poor Bill can't ride it .

Trace, we thiought the Santa Fe was in great shape too, what more could we do to make sure?

that's too bad Bill can't ride it, now you have me wondering what else he can or can't do.
But he did get the Susan Lucci ride, that's somethingf I never have had.
hmmm, maybe that didn't come out right.

We are trying the post Thanksgiving trip this year. Dec. 1 - 13th so I pray you are right about the cold being a fluke, we are doing many firsts on this trip and I need good weather.

After last year, could it be any colderL?

Clean away

Cool smiley

Never heard of a math route. Do you need to solve simple math problems along the way to be able to walk along it? Get harder as you go? Then when you get to the end and the monorail is closed; that means you missed some questions along the way. " Sorry Mr. Nebo, you missed questions 4 & 7, so the monorail is closed to you now. You'll have to take the bus now."

No no, this is Disney magical math: the walkway from the 5th floor at BLT takes you to the 4th floor at the Contemporary, without slanting up or down.


Next thing you know, you'll be wanting a limo to take you over to Shula's for a complimentary steak dinner. Oh wait. That's what I want. Never mind. Sorry. Proceed.

Since it't now on the Dining plan, we have not eaten at Shula's yet, probably won't with those prices either.




What?! No ACR's?!

you know, when you compare it to dining, it really doesn't make any sense now, does it?

"Careful. There's a snake in the tire. It keeps hissing at me through the valve and making the tire go flat."

Been watching Swamp Wars a lot, too?




And we have our first Nebo accident.

Shoot, this isn't even warming up. And what maked you think there has to be an accident? Maybe I was careful?


Given all that has happened to this point, I'm glad to hear that you were still determined to enjoy yourselves.

Oh yes, picture Clark standing in front of the Moose and saying "This is a Quest, a f.....ing quest!"

Must've planned on drinking a lot of Mai Tai's

Mai Tais are funny drinks that I don't think any two are made the same way, kind of like snowflakes.


Thanks for the update. T2UL8R

and thank you for taking the time

Heck, I haven't even gone away, but every time I manage to plow through a page, there are two more! I'm back on 51, and this should land somewhere around 77 or 78 I'm guessing...

Slow down everybody!! Wait for us slowpokes!!!

I feel like BTMR on that first lift; I think I can, I think I can...

Just want ya'll to know I'm still stringin' along

It's Mike, right? I guess you will just have to put in a little detention until you can keep up with the rest of the class. Don't make us have to send John Candy or John Belushi or whoever the dead fat guys were to invade Canada again!

Tea for two and two for tea...
No, I didn't even notice the imcomplete complete. I was just glad you realised for yourself what a compLete waste of time writing this TR is. I guess that would explain your legion (or is it a phalanx) of fans.

boy, what a great word, but it sounds like it can definately get you in trouble here, sounds too much like something really disgusting, lesion.

While I was waiting to go for training for my "real" job, I held a part time job at the airport information desk. Two things made it fun.
1. It was minimum wage.
2. It was very temporary.

Ya know the old saying, "They don't pay me enough to do _____." That was the very definition of the job. My boss (who wasn't the sharpest tool in the drawer) told us that she was getting complaints of people being put on hold.

Hello! You only have one person doing information/post office duties/foreign exchange and insurance. Something's gotta give!
Anyway, we were told that if we were busy with a customer to "just let the phone ring".

Ummm... okay.

So there I am, serving a customer, with the phone ringing away at my elbow. Of course the customer is getting more and more nervous 'cause I'm not answering it. Until finally they he can't stand it anymore and practically begs me to answer it.

Of course I put the person on hold.

As soon as I'm done with customer #1, I get the phone. Hunh. They hung up. Oh, well.

Another customer comes up. I start serving him and the phone starts to ring. Same scenario, except this time when I answer the phone, the woman on the other end of the line says, "Don't you dare put me on f***ing hold!"

I cheerily reply, "Sure! No problem."

And I hang up.

A few minutes later I'm done with customer #2 and the phone rings. It's the same woman.

This should be good...
Me: "Hello, airport information."
Woman: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please! Please don't hang up on me! I'm sorry!"

Oh, how sweet it is.


THAT is a great story, well done!




Ya got me.

sigh, I was hoping you'd get it so I wouldn't have to explain it. Ok, here goes.

Potter and Winchester get the Chicken Pox or mumps or something like that, so they send out for take out surgeon.
He was perfect.
At first.

"Hi, I'm Hawkeye, this is B.J."
"Oh, how clever, I'm just plain old Steve."

Margaret: So how do you like it here so far Steve?
Steve: It's nice, looking forward to checking out the beach.

And then from the blood and the pressure, Steve orders up a nervous breakdown for himself and is last seen sitting on a bunk in Potter's tent, playing with his toes.





Ah! Saw the movie, didn’t know the gull’s name or even who voiced him. Mine!

In researching that hard hitting controversial subject of what the bird's name was in Finding Nemo, I came acrooss something else i didn't know, that the major role of Marlin's wife and Nemo's mother, Coral, is played by Elisabeth Perkins, who was Tom Hank's girlfriend in the movie, Big.





60s Flashback. Oddly enough though, I was in Vancouver last year. But just for a few days for DD’s dance competition.

Maybe you mentioned that and it stuck with me.

Ruh Roh!

The way the trip has been going so far not only would I not skip the Mai Tai's I would bring a couple of airline bottles to soup them up a little. I never met a Mai Tai I didn't like.

To this day, the best Mai Tais I ever had were made back in '92, at the CBR on our very first trip, made by a woman we called Madison, cuz that's where she was from, Madison Wisconsin, at a bar that is also no longer there, called the Captain's Tavern. And her co-worker bartender was named Glencoe,,, Illiniois.

 

[Thumper_Man]

Funny you say that:
I just told Diane that she's not going to believe this, but I would try the rigtht after Thanksgiving trip again, and risk the cold once more. It was a reall fluke last year and the one other time we went then it was a terrific trip.
And the Christmas theming and activities and low crowds make it worth the risk again.
Will you be on the Dining Plan?

We are trying the post Thanksgiving trip this year. Dec. 1 - 13th so I pray you are right about the cold being a fluke, we are doing many firsts on this trip and I need good weather.

Mrs. T (or Lady H, which ever Nebo decides to stick with) and I are trying the post thanksgiving trip next year. It will be interesting to see if it was just a fluke, or will happen again this year.

Speaking of Lady H, Nebo did you get that from CSI? Lady H (Mrs. T) and I were just curious on that.

 

[GrandBob]

All caught up again! Went away for a bit while DW & I flew to Chicago for my Mom's 90th birthday. Then just got behinder and behinder.

OMG, Smidgy and Nebo! That was a tear-jerker. I have to agree with everyone else -- we're family, and nobody's going anywhere without you! That was an extremely difficult situation, and I'm sure you handled it just how "Dad" would have wanted it.

Anyway, I'm caught up. Just in time to read for a few more days, before picking up DGD and taking her to Disneyland! If you guys wanna come along, we'd love to have you! Anyway, I'm sure to get far behind once again. See you in a week and a half.

[Thumper_Man]

Shoot, this isn't even warming up. And what maked you think there has to be an accident? Maybe I was careful?

Then this guy passed me off to another guy who brought me underneath and started reading from a chart as he was pointing things out to me. Ever notice how they will have to vehicle raised on the hoist, but just high enough so you will still bash your head at least a couple times underneath as he's pointing things out to you. This is by design, I guess they need some fun having to deal with greiving owners all day long.

I didn't let them down, but I refused to say "OW."

Hmm. Let me think. Oh I got it. It was the part when you said "Bash your head at least a couple of times" and "I didn't let them down, but I refused to say "OW". Those 2 lines there did not make me think, "there's going to be an accident here" but rather "there had been an accident here." Not saying OW means I hit my head but I was playing tough, and I didn't want to let the thieves (mechanics) know I hit my head.

 

[Thumper_Man]

I had the same problem before trying to get over the monorail tracks in our car.

It's not the distance, it's the altitude. Dukes of Hazzard, anyone

Now I think we know what REALLY happened to the exhaust system.

 

[nebo]

They had ARR's (Advance Repair Reservations), but everyone thought it was for Pirates of the Carribean. So they discontinued it.
!

Ok, that's it! Now you just go and take a time out and sit in Stitches Great Escape until I tell you that you can come back out and play with the adults, do you understand?

Mrs. T (or Lady H, which ever Nebo decides to stick with) and I are trying the post thanksgiving trip next year. It will be interesting to see if it was just a fluke, or will happen again this year.

I am checking the weather page in the paper every day for Orlando,,

Speaking of Lady H, Nebo did you get that from CSI? Lady H (Mrs. T) and I were just curious on that.

Uh oh, I didn't know they even had a Carpentersville scenes investigated on TV, do I need to hide the vikes?
Really, I have never seen a single episode of any of those shows, Lady H could just as easily turned out Lady Macbeth, it's just what popped out of my fingers at the time.

All caught up again! Went away for a bit while DW & I flew to Chicago for my Mom's 90th birthday. Then just got behinder and behinder.

Hey, that a Freudian slip? You telling us you got a DWI, while FLYING? What, did you turn the left turn indicator on in your Cessna and forget about it?

And I was going to jump on you for saying you got behinder and behinder in the report, unitl I realized that saying "You got more and more behind" would not have been any better.

OMG, Smidgy and Nebo! That was a tear-jerker. I have to agree with everyone else -- we're family, and nobody's going anywhere without you! That was an extremely difficult situation, and I'm sure you handled it just how "Dad" would have wanted it.

Thanks Bob, appreciated.
For some reason I keep reading DGD as GDG, I think I might be a little antiseptic but I kept reading Go Dog Go in my head.


Do you like my hat?

Hey, I thought that DW and DGD were accepted DIS abbreviations. And whenever someone talks about a Freudian slip, in my mind's eye I see old Sigmund in drag. Not a pretty image; right up there with your cow costume!

Anyway, yeah, I knew I was serving up a big fat one with "behinder and behinder". I wanted to see what you'd do with it. You didn't disappoint. Hmm, now I've got an image of looking up Freud's slip. Eww! Stop that!

I think I'm missing something about your hat. That one went over my head.

-Bob

 

[pkondz]

sigh, I was hoping you'd get it so I wouldn't have to explain it. Ok, here goes.

Potter and Winchester get the Chicken Pox or mumps or something like that...

Oh, geez. I wasn't even thinking MASH! I thought you'd gone somewhere else. It was mumps, and I really liked that episode. One of those, 'oh, yeah, war isn't fun' episodes that always made you think.

Ok, that's it! Now you just go and take a time out and sit in Stitches Great Escape until I tell you that you can come back out and play with the adults, do you understand?

yes, sir.

Pkondz slowly makes his way over to Stitch, and with one last sad look over his shoulder, enters, and closes the door softly behind him.........

Well, yes, DW and DGD are accepted combos,,,, you had DW and "I",,,, but I still prefer Go dog Go.
Yeah, there's an image, a Siggy Fraud in a Moo Moo.

Please don't try to make puns like that, you'll hurt yourself like I once did.

-Bob

dis in sunny, pont let me wost. Says message shoo tort.
ok, gonna try again.

 

[nebo]

yes, sir.

Pkondz slowly makes his way over to Stitch, and with one last sad look over his shoulder, enters, and closes the door softly behind him.........

Ok, FINE!
It had to be done. Nobody look at me in that tone of eyebrow.
And nobody let him out yet, he needs to learn his lesson.

He has been given a complete , COMPLETE free rein, shoot, rain,,,shoot,,,,, reign,,, rayne,,,ever since he got here, but as you can tell, I am the intelligent one and I hate to have to bring this up to him now and den.

But he clearly violated rule ro104,,, "Huh" when he used a pun so bad it set off the Pun Stuns and Done warnings during dinner time, and he knows better than that.

We'll see how the community service goes and as to when he can get out.

Thank you Citizens.

Would you like to know more?

(for a good time, rent Starship Troopers0

 

[Thumper_Man]

yes, sir.

Pkondz slowly makes his way over to Stitch, and with one last sad look over his shoulder, enters, and closes the door softly behind him.........

Pssst.

Ponzi. Over here. This way. Real, quick fast and in a hurry. Before Nebo comes back.

 

[akayek31]

Ok I am finally caught up. I am sorry for your loss. I lost my dad 7 years ago to prostrate cancer. I can't believe the car cost $1260 to fix. I would have taken it to get second opinion. But then again I am cheap lol. Since I last posted we now have to get the ball barren(sp) fixed in the lemon I bought. There goes my $200 down payment for my next trip . While I wait for the next chapter of this trip I will go and read some of the reports in you signature. Have a great day

 

[nowellsl]

Pssst.

Ponzi. Over here. This way. Real, quick fast and in a hurry. Before Nebo comes back.

Someone forgot to block the chicken exit..........

 

[mmeb144]

Thank God, Thumper Man. I was worried about Ponzi stuck in Stitch's Wishin' He was Escapin'. How are we gonna get our trippie picked apart with such humor??

Personally, I liked the ARR pun.

 

[Thumper_Man]

Thank God, Thumper Man. I was worried about Ponzi stuck in Stitch's Wishin' He was Escapin'. How are we gonna get our trippie picked apart with such humor??

Someone had to get him out. I felt bad for him walking away like that. I try to pick apart the trippie, but I'm no where near as good as Ponzi. Just hope Nebo don't find out I let him out through the chicken exit that nowellsl told me about. Uh oh. Gotta go. I think Nebo's coming.

Hmm, akayek,,,,, backwards, it's Ke Yaka! Isn't that what Japanese tourists exlaim when they finally find the restrooms near Teppenedo?
noo, that can't be it,,, Got it, It's AKA, Also Known As ,,, yek. Boy , if you are typing the also known as part, hate to see what the other name was.
Yek? I didn't need a second opinion, everyone I talked to said it was too high. No, really, w3here were we going to go? ANd how much is our time worth? Sorry to hear about your dad, but I think it's done everyone good toe be able they went through the last times recently with their parents or grrandparents.

Thank God, Thumper Man. I was worried about Ponzi stuck in Stitch's Wishin' He was Escapin'. How are we gonna get our trippie picked apart with such humor??

You know, there's plenty of room in there for two more, Piggy doesn't have to stay by himself!

Oh, Ponzi.
I forgot about him, has anyvody at least let him out to use the bathroom?

Ok, you can come out now, I guess I have to let you our so you can destroy my next hard worked on chapter.
This is like picking up the executioner on the way to your own hanging.

And I hope you learned your lesson Ponzi:
while it is our sworn duty to try and make people expectorate on their monitors when they don't see it coming, we must draw the line at Ravioli and tomatoe sauce; Readers, with no computer, = no readers, unless they have a large dog with Italian leanings.

So, your PUNishment is over, there will be no PUNitive damages as long as you realize..

the pun is mightier than the sword!

It's looking more and more like a new chapter won't be up until tomoorrow night, around 7. I'm haveing a hard time putting back together the story of the Haunted Elevator and the Somnambulist, mainly cuz I slept through most of it!

 

[akayek31]

No that is not what it means. It is my first initial (my name is Angela) my middle name which is Kaye, my last name initial which is K and finally the age I was when I got that email. I was very unoriginal but it sure has made people think about it lol.

 

[pkondz]

Pssst.

Ponzi. Over here. This way. Real, quick fast and in a hurry. Before Nebo comes back.

Two things...
1. I couldn't leave. Didn't you see Nebo over there?

2. When you open a door to rescue someone. Don't turn around and run away before you ensure that the escapee has actually exited the building. If you had, you may have noticed that said door is self closing/locking. Just sayin'

Oh, Ponzi.
I forgot about him, has anyvody at least let him out to use the bathroom?

NO! Hang on a sec...

Okay, good to go. Or went, as the case might be....

Ok, you can come out now, I guess I have to let you our so you can destroy my next hard worked on chapter.
This is like picking up the executioner on the way to your own hanging.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea to what you are referring.

And I hope you learned your lesson Ponzi:

the pun is mightier than the sword!

Oh, yes sir! Mr. Nebo sir! Lesson learned, sir!

The pun is the highest form of wit.

And you're halfway there!

The bun is the highest form of wheat.

A bunion is a high point on your feet.

A nun is a high moral woman who's normally discrete.

But not my grade five teacher, Sister Beatrice. She was evil. You know the cliche about the nun who uses the ruler to whack knuckles? That was her.

It's looking more and more like a new chapter won't be up until tomoorrow night, around 7.

Do try and be PUNctual.

Hmm, akayek,,,,, backwards, it's Ke Yaka! Isn't that what Japanese tourists exlaim when they finally find the restrooms near Teppenedo?

Nah. I'm not buying either one. Having lived in the north, I know a Kayak when I see one.

See what happens when I get locked up? All this stuff just gets pent up inside and when I get out...

Oh, and BTW. I've never even seen Stitch. Or Alien Encounter. Or Mission to Mars.

 

[jakeybake]

Will you be on the Dining Plan?

No Dining Plan for me. I am down for my yearly work conference and they are nice enough to pick up the tab for everything, meals included, so I pay out of pocket and then expense it back.

Whenever this job is driving me nuts I think about my annual, free trip to WDW and it reminds me to just shut up and deal with it!!
