[All7OfUs]

Not that I"m counting or anything...

Great long update. Your ride was making me nervous. I was afraid you might not make it in time for the ticket. So glad you were able to get it. What a great evening at MK, despite the crowds. You got lots of great pics and it sounds like the boys had a great time. Looking forward to your Kidani arrival.

We all know what you're good at Mr. Running in Front of Buses in your Skivvies to Scare the Fort Wilderness guests Man! BTW, here's to you......

you forgot real man of genious on the end.

Dan, you want to handle this one for me???

sure give her the points, we like that argument


now if she would have said eggshell it would be a no go.

Careful, the Rules Committee reads other threads, even if they don't post.

they can read?

i thought they got there TR's on tape, and played them on marvs cassett player in his car.

 

[Emilyswish]

Yay! You made it to the park! Those crowds! I remember them well!

Now I really can't wait for your Epcot report and how you searched and searched the park just to meet my family . . .

Pat's answer that we made the ticket office on time, but stressed the whole way

I have hit that dead stop once so I know the so close yet so far stress.
Glad that was able to get me a point.

I did not even notice that until you just mentioned it and I went back and looked. That is soooo strange, and no I didn't do anything other than multiquote so I don't know why it put that. No wonder you were confused, and thought I was too...

I thought so from your answer! I thought that you were joking with me! I know that Great Biscuit likes to do play with the names in the quotes when he multiquotes (and I think others have done it as well). What a strange quirk of the DIS software!

That was odd. I was sure like in biscuit style he did it on purpose.

 

[Poolrat]

Marv,

I was stressing right there with you while you were trying to get to the ticket office.



Glad to see you were able to get into MK and enjoy yourself for a little while.

It is such a beautiful castle.

 

[marvali]

Usually I am a much better remember-er than what I appear to have been on your PTR. DRAT! I guess the move took more brain power than I thought.

I've been through a few moves. More stressful than trying to make a Disney ticket office before they close, during rush hour traffic.....

So, I guess I got the ferry, and one other right. And now that I know about bonus points I will be MUCH more creative in my answers next time. Eh, hem.

So what you're saying is you weren't actually reading the hints/suggestion posts that came between the questions and the answers........ (btw, I bet you were one of those who made parenting easy when you were a little girl.....well, younger girl)

That's a great picture of you and your DW (I"m sorry Marv, I simply can't remember her name. I know I should!)

Okay, I know what they say about the word assume, but since you didn't put a wink or anything after that, I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I know I paid for it earlier dealing with Magdalene, but if you really can't think of her name, try post 1 or look really closely at my DISname......

Hot cocoa! Of course, that would have been your drink. DUH!!

It was a cold first night, and it was actually more closely warm water, with a hint of cocoa taste......

I love that little tip about the monotrain! That one can save a ton of time!!! I think we actually used it as well!! nice maneuvering!

Amazing how you read these things, and then when you need them, they pop into the forefront of your mind, uh head, just when you need them!

At second look at my answers I posted, it looks like Igot a whopping 3 answers correct, Correct?? #s 3,4, and 5.

Not that I"m counting or anything...

Nooo, not you! And yes, you got those three correct, so you aren't very far behind the leader.....but then, neither is anyone else! Sorry no bonus points this time, but knowing you I think you can make them up quickly!!!

Great long update. Your ride was making me nervous. I was afraid you might not make it in time for the ticket. So glad you were able to get it. What a great evening at MK, despite the crowds. You got lots of great pics and it sounds like the boys had a great time. Looking forward to your Kidani arrival.

We really got a lot of stuff done that was high on my list, especially since we were only there about 2 and a half hours that night.

you forgot real man of genious on the end.

I thought it was obvious. Thanks for proving me correct.......

sure give her the points, we like that argument

Okay, but I have to take them from your total since once issued, total points given for a round cannot change....... sorta like DVC points for each resort.

now if she would have said eggshell it would be a no go.

A definite deal breaker that!

Careful, the Rules Committee reads other threads, even if they don't post.

i thought they got there TR's on tape, and played them on marvs cassett player in his car.

I think he was meaning that Big Brother is watching, even when he isn't on his own thread....... and that's 8-track player!!!

Yay! You made it to the park! Those crowds! I remember them well!

Now I really can't wait for your Epcot report and how you searched and searched the park just to meet my family . . .

Already started working on it so I can come up with the next round of contest questions. (I guess I can go back and delete that one about who I was hoping to have a DISmeet with now......) Just kidding! I hate we were probably so close to running into each other, and still missed!

I have hit that dead stop once so I know the so close yet so far stress. Glad that was able to get me a point.

Yeah, good job on that one!!!

That was odd. I was sure like in biscuit style he did it on purpose.

Strange, huh? I never noticed it, and can't think of any reason why that would ever benefit.....but obviously somebody does.....

Glad to see you were able to get into MK and enjoy yourself for a little while.

It is such a beautiful castle.

With all of the hurrying to get there, it was a very relaxing end to the day, even with the crowds!

 

[englishrose47]

The overall leader of the contest, after the completion of 1 round is:

Tom (SurfinTX) with 5 correct answers and 1 bonus point - 5(+1)

Those getting 4 correct answers and tied for second are:
Katharina - 4(+2)
Magdalene - 4(+2)
Tanya - 4(+2)
Glenn - 4(+1)
Amy - 4
Molly - 4
Kathy - 4

The highest bonus points awarded were 2 for Katharina, Magdalene, Tanya and Dan.

And nobody got less than two correct answers, so with at least 5 more individual contests to go it looks like this is going to be quite a battle to the very end!!!

Hey I didn't even score !!Am I still holding my title of the MOST wrong !!

 

[marvali]

Hey I didn't even score !!Am I still holding my title of the MOST wrong !!

You are only three away from first place, Rosie! And you did get a bonus point, so you aren't even in last place right now.........

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Okay, but I have to take them from your total since once issued, total points given for a round cannot change....... sorta like DVC points for each resort.

well if that is the case then no points for her, and give the ones she did earn to me for making the rules committee angry.

 

[marvali]

You'll have an opportunity to EARN more points soon.......

 

[Flossbolna]

You'll have an opportunity to EARN more points soon.......

New update comming soon??

 

[marvali]

New update comming soon??

Well, at least the next set of Contest questions coming soon so everyone can start getting their guesses in.......

 

[Flossbolna]

Well, at least the next set of Contest questions coming soon so everyone can start getting their guesses in.......

Oh and I think quite a few will put more effort into answering these with some creativity for potential bonus points!

 

[englishrose47]

You are only three away from first place, Rosie! And you did get a bonus point, so you aren't even in last place right now.........

How did I manage that!!

Oh and I think quite a few will put more effort into answering these with some creativity for potential bonus points!

I am putting on my SMART ALEC cap right now !!!

 

[marvali]

Oh and I think quite a few will put more effort into answering these with some creativity for potential bonus points!

I hope so! Those are really fun to read....

How did I manage that!!

I guess you aren't trying hard enough!!!

I am putting on my SMART ALEC cap right now !!!

Putting it on?? I didn't know you ever took it off!!!

I see how y'all are. He awards me the point & then you make where he'll want to take it back.
I'm sticking with white is right.

well if that is the case then no points for her, and give the ones she did earn to me for making the rules committee angry.

 

[glennbo123]

Aw, such a shame to see the Rules Committee getting grief over here.

 

[marvali]

Sorry, only one person can award points in this contest, and that would be me. Your points are right where they were when I issued them, no more and in spite of Dan's best efforts, no less.

Aw, such a shame to see the Rules Committee getting grief over here.

No grief here. I said up front it is a dictatorship. The rest is water meeting duck's back...... Attitudes could affect future issuance of bonus points however......
