Actually, I copied and pasted it to a Word document and it tells you how many words it is....and I started and stopped with only the stuff in the last chapter.
 
(sigh) Ah yes, that most wonderful smiley that Ponzi posted right before the chapter that I worked for 4 hours on sure was a hoot, wasn't it? :sad1:

When I posted my accolades for Ponzi's nifty smiley, I was still a page behind in reading this TR and didn't know there was a fabulous new chapter up.
Of course, your new chapter was funny and very witty.:worship: and I laughed out loud while reading it.
I thought I had redeemed myself by commenting again after I finished it.
I can't find a really cool smiley to put here - I'm just not good at the whole smiley thing. Defeated.
 
Thanks for the welcome back. I am really never gone, just sometimes slow to the party.

Great chapter.

About the Penn State vs Nebraska game. I think it is incredibly sad what is going on. I follow Nebraska football, cause ya know they will kick you out of the state if you don't... Just kidding... or am I. LOL

My ex husband and his family have had season tickets FOREVER. My dad was a huge fan. I wonder how he would feel if he were still alive about being a Big 10 member. I was sad when we went from the Big 8 to the Big 12.

I was touched yesterday with the prayer before the game. That was classy I thought. But, to be honest, I just used to like to drink a couple of red beers during game days. Now that I have had gastric bypass no more red beer for me. Down 110 lbs.

Anyway, love ya, love the writing... please continue.

Write on my friend, write on.

thanks Bee, boy, that's a lot of weight, sorry you can't drink the beer now though.
Personally, I thought the game should have been forfeited, they keep putting the University over the victims in cases like this,,,,reminds me of the cover ups for the Catholic Priests by the church. Aargh, I don't want to talk about it anymore.
 

Okay, so I don't know if you've ever read my profile, but I work at a tv station. It just so happens today has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day... but for some reason every1 in the newsroom has found everything has has gone wrong, to be funny... not angering. (they just repainted the ceiling (y, IDK) so it may be the paint fumes getting to us)
But, less than an hour before I read your chapter, I had sent one of my photogs to a house fire... where the neighbor called me and told me to F*** myself and then F***off because I had no soul for sending a photographer out to the fire. So... how do I take her call? I :rotfl:..which she doesn't appreciate.
Then someone called and told me they were going to file a lawsuit against us (which people occasionally say they're going to do...) so how do I respond? I say :hippie: (cool) and then :laughing:.
So, then I read the post about the "The Brave Little Toaster who started the fire because it was left plugged in in 3D" and I LOST IT! I laughed so hard I was crying... why?....:confused3:
But everyone in the office was staring at me trying to figure out what my deal was. And then when I told them, they all looked at me like I was crazy and then they :lmao:. I love days like this. *sigh*
Back to the tr! I'd like another chapter to read after dinner.

I agree... :grouphug:

Have you been holding out on us? First a restaurant in Boston and now this?
http://www.nebolodge.com/

that's pretty funny, but I've never been in Maine, can't say I've wanted to, even if it is Stephen King's home. But there's lots of Nebo things around I've found out.
A woman we met in Disney, Jill, once sent me a little Nebo flashlight, and a few years ago my buddy gave me an all in one hand tool made by NEBO, not to mention a few small scattered towns here and there.
Oh and that little ol mountain that Moses went and up and died on, Mt. Nebo where the name originally comes from I guess.

Wow, Rebecca in the Lou Grant role? Great.
Sounds like a fun day, and glad I could be a part of it.

Hey, where's Ponzi anyway, we let him out of Stitch and he goes in hiding.
 
Nebo, I hope Pkondz wasn't traumatized by being locked in with Stitch too long? Or maybe it was the tp on his shoe? ;)

You were absolutely correct about worse experiences than Stitch. The new/old Tiki room was no fun at all! :sad2:

Pkondz, where are you?
 
Hey, where's Ponzi anyway, we let him out of Stitch and he goes in hiding.


Not gone but busy. Mostly in a good way. Mom celebrated her 80th birthday on Saturday which we hosted at our place. I cooked her fave meal and we all had a great time. But work then cleaning then prepping then set up then cooking then party means pkondz has been verrrrrry busy. Dsis is in from out of town and she was over on Sunday. Plus playoff football up here. I hope to be able to rip apart.... I mean horrifically mangle.... I mean pleasantly comment, on your chapter soon!
 
Nebo!!

Another great chapter and probably the funniest TR chapter I have ever read. I laughed from start to finish. My kids were looking at me like I was a crazy person. Staring at the laptop laughing out loud! Funniest part of all was that I could totally picture in my head what that entire scene must of looked like, especially the looks on the other elevator passengers faces when this demented, crazy man was cruising up and down.

And I even got a shout out in it, which makes it that much better, though the day I read a Riglee TR is the day I officially give up my love of the NFL for a love of opera or the symphony. Cultured, I'm not!

And more importantly, how about your Bears and my Pats!! Two games I thought could definitely end up in the loss column and they both turned out to be full fledged spankings!

Why on earth any coach would EVER allow his kicker or punter to kick it to Devin Hester is beyond me. It gives me flashbacks of Bill Parcells kicking it to Desmond Howard in the Pats-Packers Super Bowl way back when.

Excuse my while I puke at the thought of that..............

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

And here i thought you had partied so hard reveling in the punishment your Bears put on the Lions, that you just couldn't see the keyboard through bloodshot drunken eyes. :)

Sorry to hear about tomorrows adventure.. i don't envy you one bit.. I can't even imagine the pain and discomfort involved in all that.. Makes me shudder just thinking about you.. Just have one word of advice.. let yourself go to a happy place when you get there. (too bad you can't stock up on Manhattans before you go..

we'll be thinking about you.
 
Eye hope it won't be too painful and Eye hope it helps a lot because we all look forward to seeing the next chapter. Take care, best wishes!
 
Hope the Dr. visit goes well. Needles in the eyes sounds scary, and a little like a torture device. Are you sure that your Dr. likes you?
 
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!

RoundTuit.jpg


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.

:lmao: Serendipity!

Oh, and,,,,
Knock knock

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?

:headache: 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.

The Land of Nod

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. :rolleyes1

...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. :thumbsup2

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. :confused3

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! :rotfl:

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! :goodvibes

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.
 
Can I call in sick tomorrow?

Good golly!

I've never called in sick at my current job, but I think I would call in sick for EVERYTHING if I were getting a shot in the eye (good one or bad).

Good luck!
