There is also an excellent chance I did this before in an older trip report, or, I was going to but never got around to it,, or,, I did and it fell on it's face which is the most likely scenario.
Never got around to it? I can fix that!
So,,,,,,,anyway,,,,,,,,,,
complete or tell me the line that immediately follows,,,,,
"Jump up for Jinkies"
(yep, they are all looking at me in that tone of voice again)
yep, I did. Didn't have a clue so had to Google it. And now I know why. Never been. Never will apparently.
Also, incredibly, to me anyway, I turned on the tv last night at 6:30 and found BJ talking to Abigail Porterfield about her most famous book, The Rooster Crowed at Midnight!
I am not kidding, it was on TVLand.

Serendipity!
Oh, no! Please! No more!
Cap'n! She canna take ana more!
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
C'mon, play with me, last time
Promise?
Knock knock
Who's there?
Amaryllis
Amaryllis who?
Amaryllis state agent. Wanna buy a house?

From this point forward you are no longer allowed to make any comments about any bad puns I or any one else makes.
Especially me.
Jakeybake: You know, I think he's tap dancing, I don't think he has anything for tonight, this is gonna really suck.
Thumper Man: Yeah Jay, sure looks that way, what else can we read? Hey, maybe Riglee started another report!
Jakeybake: Hope so, let's go check, bring Ponzi too, but tell him to take that off his shoe, first.
What? Something on my shoe? Hey! How'd that get there? And not until now did I really appreciate the brilliance and foresight of Jakeybake and Thumer Man.
Just close your eyes and tap your heels together three times. And think to yourself, there's no place like home... Oh!
Nod... Well that's a horse of a different colour!
Diane had called for a wake up call,
A call for a call... is that like an eye for an eye? Whoops! Sore spot! Pretend I didn't say that.
...so it's gotta go on the other one, that also has a higher interest rate. I know, you're losing interest too, I have a lot more interest in no interest.
What? Oh, sorry. I must have
nodded off there for a second.
When I did finally fall asleep, I was gone baby gone, see ya later alligator, bedtime for Bonzo and Bedtime Snories.
Morgan Freeman and Ronald Reagan in chorus call out, "In a while, crocodile."
I'm not good at avoiding obstacles and other common hazzards when I'm awake
Me too! I find that when I'm in bed sleeping, I rarely have mishaps.
This is why I don't like balconies, especially balconies on the 15th floor. (snicker)
Nahh. You're safe. You're in Disney! A little pixie dust and you're off to the second star on the right instead of the pavement ending your flight.
They are also virtually impossible to shake yourself out of when you a woken prematurely;
Ooh, I hate premature...
agitation.
What?
But it's not next morning, and when she resorted to shaking me
Well... you
were in a resort... so that makes sense.
to see if I was still breathing,
Were you?
I not only didn't love her madly, I wanted to hurt her badly!
And then you were walkin' out the door.
For ice.
To make matters worse, she automatically assumed that because my eyes are open, there is brain wave activity taking place behind them.
Hunh. Funny, we don't see your eyes, but
we automatically assume there's no brain wave activity at the best of times! Let alone when you just wake up.
Using this logic we should then be able to deduce that since the TV is on and light is coming from it, that there is cerebral energy coming from Two and a Half Men, but we know better than that.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Did you
see the episode with Megan Fox? It doesn't get much more cerebral than that! Or something.
then I put my pants on over my head and pulled up my shirt and buttoned the fly and put my socks on, one hand at a time.
Good to go, Cap'n!
I had absolutely no idea of what she just said to me.
Ooh, I'm
so gonna use that on my DW. "Nope, didn't hear a thing you said dear, I just woke up 7 hours ago. Nebo says that's okay."
Almost made it out the door to go get ice before she stopped me and said I didn't need the sock mittens inside the resort, it's not cold.
Wise, Smidgy is, yes.
I pushed the button that had an arrow pointing down since that's how the ice comes out, it falls down,,,,, and I waited, but no ice came out of it.
And yet... perfectly logical. You wouldn't push an up button on an ice machine, would you?
A crowd gathered around me because they must have sensed how much I felt like talking right now, and an elevator arrived right after them and we all got in.
Was it a DSA elevator, or something?
when it comes to elevators, I am truly vexxed.
vexxed? One more x and we'd have a much different TR! Anyway, sorry to hear you're annoyed at the elevators.
I just didn't know I was about to star in this trip's elevator episode at this time, I never got the flyer!
I swear it was there! It was slipped under the door. Maybe you just missed it in your groggy state.
When this group got in with me, probably wondering what I am doing just standing in there, I backed away from the panel, ice wasn't coming out, anyway.
Oh ye of little faith. If you'd just waited a litle longer and held the door, I'm sure you would've gotten ice.
Icy stares, anyway. But that counts, doesn't it?
I just smiled through my shorts and they were kind enough to make sure I had plenty of room.
Nice to know that even though you wear tight jeans, (see post #646, pp44) you have plenty of room for 'the boys' in the shorts.
This part troubled me, it was like the little room was generating it's own people
Next time, try calling out: "Beam me up, Smidgy!"
Might work.
Now, you all know that elevators, ALL ELEVATORS hate me and will do their best to make a fool of me at the least, or, bring me to the point of insanity and have me institutionalized, at the most.
Don't be silly. You don't need any help what so ever to make you look like a fool. Well, maybe 20 minutes of sleep. And as for being institutionalized? Don't move, the men with the long sleeved jackets are on the way.
Yes, I still have the bucket in my hands, amazing in my somnambulistic state.
(have you ever noticed that when somebody doesn't know how to spell something correctly, for some reason they insist on using the word all the time so they can constantly misspell it? Well, the odds of me spelling the sleep walking word correctly are ten to one, so every time I misspell it SOMEBODY must be going crazy from it!)
Take Ponzi's side over mine, will you? MBWahahahahah,, cough, cough,,, huss huss.
Geez, don't you hate it when someone figures they've spelled a word wrong, like somnambulistic, and go on and on about it, only to have spelled it right in the first place?
It's enough to give you insomjina.
Just now, when all those hoodlums left me alone at the bottom, I pressed the 14 button, so now here I am ready for the ice room.
Which isn't there!
Me, and my bucket, are walking up and down, back and forth, inside and out, completely exploring Bay Lake Tower in search of an ice machine that I KNEW existed!
I actually know
exactly how you felt. When I was in grade 6 or thereabouts, I got turned around in the school yard and went in through the wrong door. Our school was actually built to house
two schools with the shared gym in the middle. I wound up in the 'other' school but didn't know it. Turns out it was a mirror image of 'my' school. For about 10 minutes, I was totally confused because everything looked normal, but not 'right'. Only when I got to the gym (and only after experiencing a weird sensation like the world revolving 180 degrees) did I figure it out. If you've ever seen 'Journey to the Far Side of the Sun', you'll know what I mean.
Ok, how many of you are now shaking your heads as the nickel has dropped in?
Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me! Pick me!
And can you believe that in this day and age they are still doing that? Incredible!! In the 21st Century!
Yup... Because there are still
tons of people who would categorically refuse to be on the 13th floor. The same people who have absolutely
no problem staying on the 14th floor... 13 floors up.
but I believe this entire chapter has taken off maybe, at the most, 15 minutes time off of the remaining trip.
but it's certainly been an entertaining 15 minutes!
Yeah, better way of putting it, chronologically, this chapter had the same effect time wise as Rose saying to Jack,
"Did you hear something?" in Titanic. I believe he responded, "No, that was just my stomach, darn shrimp, why didn't they tell me it was peel and eat?"
"Jack? I know how this ends, and I wouldn't sweat the shrimp!"
Oh, really? So there's a happy ending? How nice! Was the shrimp served on iceburg lettuce?
Back in the room I started explaing all this to Smidgy and what I had just gone through but before I even got halfway through the story concerning the elevator, her eyes glazed over and she threw herself off the balcony!
Thank goodness for pixie dust! Fly, Smidgy! Fly!
That's it for tonight, next chapter,,, "Searching for Smidgy"
2nd star to the right.
You're welcome.
And thanks for the update!
Hey boys and girls, I was hoping to get a chapter up tonight but it's not gonna happen, unfortunately, tomorrow I go for another injection,,,,,,only this time in the other eye,,,,,,, my good eye,,,,, my baby,,,,and since the only thing I will be able to see out of tomorrow is the crappy eye, I don't see how I can do it.
Oh well, we'll see..
hahahahaha,,,,, I made a pun
Awww... Nebo, that sucks. The pun, I mean. Oh, okay, the eye too. But if it's for the good of your eyes then I guess it's all good. Good luck with that.
