We have stayed at Riverside and French Quarter many times now, but never seen Yee Ha Bob and have been told not to miss it. He plays certain nights at the River Roost down in Riverside and from what I've seen he's a big hit with kids. Thiought you might like to know if you already didn't . I even found a U-tube video of him,,, his name is BOB Jackson. By the way, when in the summer are you going?
I didn't see him last time, due to too much running about. I'll try and see the utube video. We head out on July 1st, aiming to sit on Polynesian beach for 4th and fireworks, definitely our favourite spot for 4th2 weeks at PO, then a week, between Busch, legoland, sea world, universal....I wil be cream crackered but very happy
On an earlier note, my better half or SWMBO doesn't rule the roost. "I wear the trousers in this house....", what's that dear, "I've to wear the red ones today, can I wear the black ones, no, ok red it is....", as I was saying SWMBO rooles the roost, - (She Who Must Be Obeyed).
Before I get hammered for being a woose, I know what side my bread is buttered. My "better half" is the ying to my yang....unfortunately I've got lots of yang, never did grow up.

Did you have to go there? In this situation, "Painful" is not really appropriate. More like "Screamingly Excrutiating". No really, I enjoy a good kidney stone once in a while. Really.
So far I have avoided that experience, but I'vve heard it compares itself to a normal **** sapien childbirth,,, if the "child" is a rhinocerous.
I can't comment! I'm too busy laughing!
The hardest one was coming up with something for Azkaban.
Oh, sure. You might be able to turn your mind off it, but we're all stuck being turned on.
Ummm.....
Maybe I should reprhase that...
please,
Don't know that one. Listened on YouTube (Home of everything you'd ever want to see... or not see), and didn't recognize it.
A classic Sam Cooke hit, made, of course before he was shot dead running naked through a hotel lobby chasing after another woman.
And it wasn't with one of Cupid's arrows he was shot with.
Oddly enough, for some reason, I just haven't read much Ludlum... Don't know why.
I do, it's work.
In which Nebo is sucked into another dimension where Santa Fe repairs are only a dollar and tires never go flat. But Nebos are dull and uninspired... Stick with the more expensive but more entertaining universe.
But nebos are dull and uninspired, it's the magic keyboard that let's me do these reports.
Let me give you some advice. If you have a package of Cup O Soup. Throw out the contents and eat the packaging. 1. It's probably more nutritious. 2. It certainly has more fiber. 3. It will taste better than the alternative.
I know, it really is tasteless , isn't it?
I'ts like pushing the "chicken soup" button on a coffee vending machine in a rest area,, it's hot water tinted yellow containing more salt then the Dead Sea and at the bottome wou'll find a little tiny green piece of parsley floating on top of that last gulp of saltwater.
Nah. You don't need alcohol and exhaustion.
Budt it helps, especially for trip reports.
Were the sides of the glasses 100% parallel? If your glasses (and most of 'em are) have sloped sides then you have a problem. Usually glasses are like this: \_/
Let's take an extreme case. Two glasses. One like this \_/
and one like this \_________/
You can see that if both glasses have the same level of water that one has more than the other.
So if you pour from the top wider half of one glass into the bottom narrower half of the other glass you won't have the same amount in each glass as the top half is wider than the bottom.
See?
psst. smidgy. did he buy it? don't tell him that it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
You really still like playing with you Etch a Sketch, don't you?
Wait! Didn't we cover sliced bread earlier in this TR?
Yes and it went stale then too.
So was it the best sausage you've ever had? Considering the price of course.
Trying to cause trouble again, eh? Well, no it wasn't.
Just like beer... You can't buy sausage, you can only rent it.
You lost me on this one,,, rent beer?
And I'm thinking, "How on Earth did we cover two weeks on this TR already?" No, not a dig. Time flies when you're having fun.
Thanks for the chapter!
"How I wish I had someone to talk to, I'm in an awful mess."
I like the song choice Nebo, better than the other Saturday song possibility, S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night. That song might be one the Yellow Jackets would like to ruin for you.
Would that be a Bay City Rollers song?
Didn't Shaun Cassidy do a Saturday song too? Or are you thinking of Elton John's Saturday Night's all right for fighting?
At least I didn't include Saturday morning or we'd have to inlude the Sandpipers and Saturday morning Confusion.
Ok, I'm done now.
I love Harry Potter! I like the future book titles!I can't wait until DS is ready to read them. Maybe only another year or two.
Please telll me you are not going to encourage him to read Stephanie.
Like Pkondz, I haven't read much Ludlum, maybe only one of the Bourne books I believe. What is your opinion of him?
I need a smiley with a little guy slowly tilting his one hand back and forth.
I've only read one book,,,, ok, hold it,,,STOP right There
I want to know right now, before we go any further,,,,
my bad, real bad, I mistook authors.
Not Robert Ludlum I was thinking of, but Tom Clancy.
I loved Hunt for Red October,, but it was all I could do to get through Red Strom Rising due to all the acronyms and abreviations.
You know when I get tired, I tend to get really silly and I laugh at everything so your deep meditation concerning how to measure 6 inches of liquid rings a bell with me. Sounds like something I would be perplexed by in my semi-conscious state.
Great chapter Nebo! Stretch these next few chapters out if you can. Talk about the hole in the sidewalk, write a commentary on Disney transportation, pros/cons of Fantasmic, you get my drift. String this sucker out as long as possible!
[/QUOTE]how would we find out the answer? I would call steve at home... he always knew such mindless trivel....(he was SUCH a good "back up" for a bartender!!!)
actually, peopel used to call him all the time for answers such as that.. until... GOOGLE!!!
.
Yup.
With the last Planet of the Apes film that was released in 2011 I wondered how many films there were since the original with Charlton Heston. The answer I got?
Planet of the Apes (1968)
Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)
Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)
Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)
Planet of the Apes (2001) redone by Tim Burton.
and two TV shows:
Planet of the Apes (1974)
Return to the Planet of the Apes (1975)
Great. Wonderful. Thanks for sucking the life out of the question.
The thing is, it's not just Google, in the past Diane would call me up at home and ask me whatever was stumping people up at the bar, they could even then look it up by Google it when they got home if they still cared. THe problem is, NOW, eveybody, ok, most anyway except me, have Google at their fingertips now, the trivia answer is coming as fast as they can thumb it in. ]
For the record, for really stupid, useless information, I'm your man, but when it comes to playing along with Jeopardy, Diane is way up there. Her knowledge is more spread out than mine and she's much faster than I am.
Did you mean mindless 'drivel' or 'trivia'. Actually, I think trivel is a good new word that covers both bases.
I'm really good at trivia too... In my own way. Somebody will mention something and I'll be like, "Oh, yeah, ummm... I know that... ummm... hang on... oh shoot, it's right on the tip of my tongue... ummmm.... arrrgh.... I almost had it.... wait... ummm...." By then some young smart alec has whipped out his smart phone and provided all the Planet of the Apes movies.
Do you remember Hollywood Squares?
In particular, Paul Lynde? He really cracked me up one time:
"Paul, in the beginning was The Planet of the Apes.
This was followed by Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Escape from the Planet of the Apes and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes."
"Paul, to date, what was the final Planet of the Apes movie made?"
His immediate response was "Sick of the Planet of the Apes." With his silly grin delivery.
Never really thought about it like that before. So when you remarried, was your computer down?
That's really funny right there uh huh.
no, she told me the cable went out and she couldn't watch Jeff Foxworthy " Are you smarter then a 5th grade Nebo?
Or look at it this way. All these trivia nerds can't get dates... Can't get dates, can't procreate... Can't procreate and the average IQ of the planet slowly begins it's inevitable slide down to the point where we're just monkeys going "ook, ook" while we pound on our iPads.
The "ook ook" totally made that last line.
Doesn't this create an inequality? Which of course would make a false statement? I got a 'C' in algebra so I could be completely off on this

The little bit I saw on U tube didn't do much for me, but I'm sure it plays out much better in person.

Yowza, sounds like a great trip, you left out Gatorland. I just can't imagine being there over 4th of july though.
Wait a minute, am I the only one having a hard time picturing Scottish folks celebrating the Fourth of July?

Wow, easy, easy,,, yeppers, Soupy, you'll fit in just fine and dandy here!

ya know, I'll bet there are tons of trivia nerds who can no longer get dates, since they can no longer impress anyone anymore, thanks to.. google!!
That's funnier than nebo's entire update! 
Yep, Rocky and Bullwinkle. One of my favorite shows as a kid.
Doesn't everybody?? I defy anyone who sees one to try and not pick it up and doodle with it. Go on. Pop over to Al's Toy Barn and try. I triple dog dare ya!
With me, it was once I picked one up, being the OCD type person I am, I could not put it down until I "erased" every last shred of "masking agent"
, I had to see the arms and whatnot move around in there.
It's what I called "reverse pictures". You started with every picture ever drawn all siting on one screen, then I remove them all till there is absolutely nothing left including the canvas.
Hey, there's a good explanation in there somewhere, you find it.
Hunh. I thought that was a universal saying, "You can't buy a beer, you can only rent it." Think of it while you're at some sporting event standing at the urinal in the men's room with a bunch of other guys who've also had lots of beer... and are returning them... so to speak.
Anyone else feeling a little queasy right now?
Yeah, my dumb, I was having a blond moustache moment.
Really? That's odd, 'cause Momma used ta always say, "The boy's all right, he's just a little slow is all."
"Ponzi can you hear me?"
"Go to the mirror, boy."
Paul Lynde was the only reason to watch that show, usually. I remember being really sad the day he passed away. A very funny man.
fI had a printout of the best lines from that show, and I thought I had a 5 minute or so video of the same thing. I don't think I still have it and I just looked around on line and can't find anything that strings together a highlight of the olden days Squares with Paul, Rose, Wally Charlie,,, and even Don Knotts had some good lines in it.
See, when I wan't to find something, it's ungoogleable, but if I was to ask who is the only Magnificent 7 actor still alive, it would spit it out in a hearbeat just to ruin my trivia question.
Ditto. I spend too much time on the DIS as is. I've heard rumors that there's a whole big wide world out there. I read it on facebook.
by the way, it seems like it was only yesterday everybody was bugging me to get on MySpace.
Welllll....... I guess Smidgy does, 'cause she married you. Other than that, I think you might be on your own there fella...yep, can't argue that, if my good buddy Rozz is any indication of that.
Just kidding. We all like you Nebo, other wise nobody would be typing all the things we do. Heck, if anybody came to the realization that they didn't like you he'd just get up and stop ty
) I hope you stay healthy...was that an angiogram you had? nebo had one years ago.. scary stuff, hope you remain healthy!!
Jakey! so sorry to hear of your travails (is that a word ponzie? or did I create another new one?
Can't remember what I'm supposed to do today, but ask me about some obscure movie fact!
I really hate it when that happens!
Not sure who's more excited me or the kids (okay, it's me!!). Anyway we're going for a moderate this trip and trying to decide between CBR and CSR. I know you & Smidgy love CBR, but would that be your choice with kids too. The kids really liked the pictures of the pool at CSR and surprisingly the room decor (they are a little afraid of Pirates). But after reading your report I was leaning towards CBR. Any advice from you or your followers???
