Still Feeding Nebo: The may trip final chapter pg 122, Dec. 31

[smidgy]

When I drink Manhattans, I'm not allowed on a stool... I sit under it and untie people's shoes.


It's scary how easy this is to picture...

It's REALLY scary in real life!!!

 

[nebo]

No actual tune you could name. Remember when you were in third grade??? "Billy has a girlfriend." or "Na-na-Na-na-Woo-Woo." Just that irritating, childish, sing-song tone. Practice - make it your own.

Ok, Redwitch, I exactlly have the melody in my head. Now, can you make it go away?

I didn't read this installment.
Cuz I'm still mad at you for being glad I'm not reading!
And for being mad that I was the 100th reader on Kay's report!
Geez!

But if I had read, I'd have this to say:


I don't smoke anymore. (well, unless I'm drinking near someone who smokes and I can bum a cigarette off them. Which is another reason I want to stalk you in September. Cuz you drink. and smoke. Just don't tell Tammy. Cuz she gets mad. And I know people bumming smokes from you makes you irate, so I'll bring dollars to give you.
And if you're real nice, I'll stuff them in your udder.
Anyway - I used to smoke - and relit cigarettes are nasty!!!

My dear, sweet Celery, you are correct. Relit cigs ARE nasty.


.

OH MY GOODNESS! It's so true!!!!! If you and smidgy are still there on the 29th, I'm forcing her to go see Fantasmic!
Feel free to join us.
Ohhhh - and there's a nice smoking area between Aerosmith and ToT.
Again.
Don't tell Tammy.

Ok, I won't, and we have sat in that area many times.

Oh Nebo! Can't you wait to one side for your eyes to adjust? How long does it take?

When you have had the lenses of your eyes removed, it can take forever, a good half hour, if at all. This is why I like the extra magic hour so much. I saw things in Haunted Mansion that I had never before seen in 6 previous daylight trips. But, without a doubt, Dinosaur just blows you away at night. Even Diane sees things that she misses in the daytime.

again. I didn't read. I just randomly cutted and pasted some stuff and put what I wanted to in.
:rolleyes

I don't blame you. I wouldn't read anything that comes out of me, either.

 

[lexmelinda]

Now, as you can plainly see, I did mention running into the partition and I am not senile yet.

...the operative word there being "yet". So I guess I was properly busted for skimming. You're right, I'm wrong, yada, yada.

Now that you have been properly chastised, I hope the both of you will learn from this. What, I'm not sure. But, I fear not.

Oh, I'm sorry, did you say something?

 

[tiggerwannabe]

As I understand it...

Delswife was having issues with other DISers being rude...

she's a very honest, funny, down to earth mama-apparantly things got so ugly here for her because of Trolls (people here just to start trouble) that she moved on to her own site.

I still check her site for new stories but since her first grandbaby was born there really hasn't been any

I am very much looking forward to your next update...I've been so busy at work this is the first chance I've had in a couple days to see if you had written a new chapter~

 

[nebo]

Ahoy there.
Angela, don't read too much into the times I'm posting if your wondering about my work. It just shows up these times because I havent reset my clock.
WHen we last left our cripple, I mean our hero, he and his wife were on the way to Honey, I bored the Audience. So, after the cut and paste job I did from the LAST time we were there, I told her I just refuse to sit through the pre show, again.
Nope
Can't do it!

We walked through this rope Queue, and ended up in front of a cast member guarding the closed doors.
Now, bear in mind, this boy isn't feeling so spiffy right now.
My tailbone hurts, I'm still not sure if my back is going to sieze up in 3hours, even though it's not too bad right now.

But my foot, is really sore. It got smacked right on the incision that they used for 5 different operations. I mentioned this to Diane as I'm hobbling along doing my best, "OH, Mr. Dillon, Mr. Dillon. "

SHe said, "What about the other incisions?"
"No, I"m sorry, those were missed. I'll try better next time and go for the triple crown."

Yes, pain brings out the sarcasm in me, unfortunately, since Diane is my partner, she usually gets the brunt of it.

But I'm about to have a new target.
Like I said, I'm not watching that pre show, again, and most certainly, not when you have to stand.

Diane asks the cast member guarding the doors, "How long till the movie starts?"
CM: 4 minutes.
Nebo jumping in: How long till the Rick Moranis movie starts, not the preshow?
Cm: blank stare.
Nebo: Would you like the court to rephrase the question?
Cm: Yes, please.
Nebo: Fine, now remember, you are under oath. Were you here when the first showing of the movie let out, approximately 9:30, on the eleventh of May?
Cm: Yes, I was.
Nebo: And what happened five minutes prior to the next showing of the actual movie, not the preshow?
Cm: I'm not sure I understand the question.
Nebo: You are being uncooperative, I remind you that you have already said in the transcipts that you have been here all morning.

Somebody now yelled out from behind me, "Your honor, badgering the witness!"
Diane turned around and said, "Overruled."
I returned to the cast member: Young lady, look behind me, and tell me what you see.

Cm: Nothing.
Nebo: Ahah! You admit you see nothing. Now, would you like to go back and change your earlier testimony about when the REAL movie, starts?
CM: (with a bit of a smirk, now) No, you don't have a thing on me, copper, let's just see your evidence!

That was it.
I had her.

Nebo: Your honor, council wishes to address the queue.
Diane: You may proceed.

Nebo: "We have all been told that the next actual showing of HISTA will start in 5 minutes, now, 3 minutes. Then, why will they not let us into the pre show area? I suggest otherwise. If you would all turn 180 degrees, and face the doorway that we entranced this room, you will see NOTHING!"

I had their attention now.
"But, what we should be wittnessing, is the exit, of all the people in the show prior to us. Walking past this entranceway, since it is the only way out!"

A very audible gasp, went up.

CM: Yes, YES, you are right, the pre- show will start in 3 minutes. Oh, why did it have to end here? What will I tell my family?
Nebo: Your honor, council suggests punishment of either 30 days at Universal Orlando, or 3 days with an Amway salesman.
Diane: YES, and YES!

And we actually walked out.


Ok, ok, some of that was true, I just got carried away sitting here typing.

Bet you couldn't tell.

But we did leave, like I said, I was a tad cranky right after "Grinding Nebo".

The scary truth is: they won't let you bypass the preshow anymore, or even let you in, in progress. Nope, uh uh. First they let you into the room, and while your waiting for ten minutes for the main doors to open, eventually, when there are enough peeps in the room, the preshow starts.

We walked back to the Land, but it still wasn't time for our fastpasses yet, and on the way, we ended up back in the same smoking area. This time, when I reached into the pack, once again, the hand brought out a fresh one.
At least this time I got to finish it.

Inside, we saw there wasn't hardly any wait for "living with the Land." or, "Living in the Land". or, "Listening to the Land." I don't know, they change the name of it every six months it seems.
Remember "Countdown to Extinction?"
"Epcot Center"
"Sorcery in the Skies"
"Dixie Landings"?

Yeah, they are all still there, just under new names.

And now we have "Disney's Hollywood Studios". cool, a new park, can't wait to try it.

One thing I shoud have mentioned, was when we got to the land, Di found a bathroom, and, low and behold, what is right outside the bathrooms?

Anybody?

Yes, Melinda, you are correct. A drinking fountain.
And here is Nebo with these two lumps in his pocket, just in case of emergencies. The timing couldn't have been better, because lunch is due up soon, and eating will wipe them out.

We rode "Listvening to the Land", and now it was time for our Soarin' fastpasses.

For the first time, I was kinda dissapointed. Not one person in the pre show asked who that "host" is, "man, he looks familiar." So, I didn't get the pleasure of wryly turning my head to him, and saying with a knowing smile, that's Puddy, from Seinfeld.
Although today, I probably would have slammed him up against that wire mesh of a room, and yelled, THAT'S PUDDY, FROM SEINFELD, YOU KNOW, PATRICK WARBURTON? GEESH!

When the doors open, and we are walking to our seats, I see Diane lean forward, and whisper to the girl in front of her; " that's puddy, from seinfeld."
And I heard it!
But I guess I didn't hear that girl ask the question.
Yet, still, Diane answered her! Oh, the indignity. That's my job, has been, always will, ever since Soarin' opened. On the way out of the ride, I just said to her, "Pretty Funny."

She didn't even try to talk her way out, she knew.
" I just thought, since you didn't hear her mumble that question, I could save her the humiliation of having you throw her up against the screen mesh, and scream "IT'S PUDDY FROM SEINFELD" at her.

oh

To be honest, the way I was starting to feel, since I hadn't eaten anything yet and the vikes were just starting to kick in, ,,,
I might have been guilty of :nuzzling her, " Excuse me miss, I don't mean to intrude, but I do believe that man is Patrick Warburton , from the hit TV series, Seinfeld.
Soarin' is a great ride, especially when you are in pain.
And especially when you have pain relievers.
I have been told that there is a hidden mickey on the golf ball that flies right in your face, but I still can't catch it.

As we leave the Land, I'm thinking , boy, we sure are doing a lot of walking, and not getting much done, and keep ending up in the same place. And back to the Nemo pavillion we go, since it is starting to get closer to our 11:45 adr.

Somehow, and I never expected this, we got into Turtle Talk with only a ten minute wait. I'm guessing it's because it's now in a bigger theatre, and there isn't exactly a queueing area, it's just in a room, so maybe people can't find it.
This is our third time now seeing this, and,,, well, ok.
I've seen it enough now.
It would probably help if I could hear the little brats questions that sit on the floor in front, that Crush then responds to, but I can't.
I"m sorry, I mean the "little darlings".

(warning, danger will robinson. your back is getting sore sitting at the computer, trip report turning to the dark side.)
Stick it Robot.

Upon exitting Crush, there was still about 15 minutes till our adr. So, since we got on the bus, I have had exactly, 2 puffs, 4 puffs, and one whole cig, I wanted another before I go in and eat lunch in a no smoking environment.
And, how convenient, there is a spot, right outside of the entrance to the Coral Reef.

Even though we're early, Diane says she wants to check in at Coral Reef. She's really hoping to get one of the two seater tables right by the glass.
"Ok, meet me then by the smoking area."

When I got there, another couple was just walking in also. They both lit a smoke, and I reached for mine.
And my flint died. Nuttin. It was a new disposable, so I knew it had plenty of fluid, but the flint went bad, for some reason. It happens. So I went over and asked this guy who was now getting his camera our for some pics for a light. I held up my lighter and told him my flint died. He held out his hand.

Oh, ok, cool, I thought. He knows much better how to turn that wheel and make it spark than an old fool like me.
Or maybe he' going to lay hands on it, and heal it. I don't know.
So I hand it to him.
He tries a couple of times, no effect, then pulls out his own lighter and gives me a light.
"Thank you" , and I held out my hand for the dead lighter.

"Oh, can I keep it?" he said.
huh?
"Sure, knock your socks off, if you give me your address, I'll be more than happy to mail the next dead lighters I have."

No, I'm not zigzaggerating this part at all. But he didn't get the sarcasm.

"Tell me, have you gotten this lighter wet, recently?"
I couldn't believe he was still on the subject of the stupid lighter, and all I wanted to do was look around, enjoy my smoke, and see if there might be a good camera shot from here.

"You know, now that you mention it, I did have one of those jumping fountains over at the Imagination pavillion go right in my shirt pocket. "
"Ah, that explains it. "
"What are the jumping fountains?" and, " I think it will be ok once it dries out, do you want it back?"
I just cringed when I'd realized what I had just done.
DOH!
Then, to make matters worse, his female partner said, "yes, what are the jumping fountains?"

In the distance, I can see Diane working her way back to the smoking area.
Uh oh, if this conversation continues when she's here, I'm going to have this moron over for Easter every year. So, I answered.

ThejumpingfountainsarerightoutsideofHoneyIshrunktheAudienceandtheyjumpfromplantertoplanterrightoveryourheadandifyougotheremakesureyoutellthecastmemberbythedoorthatyourjusthereforthepreshow.

Yep, that's pretty much how it came out.
And I said it so fast, that I could tell that they thought I was weird. I didn't care.

Diane walks up.
"Ten more minutes, and our table is ready, guess I'll have a smoke too."
Mine was just about done, so I walked past Mr. Bic, and snubbed it out. Then I asked Diane for a light and pulled out one of my shorties. ( leave it alone, too obvious).
Diane lit my shorty with her lighter, and I could see the Bics looking at me, even though I had most of my back turned to them.

I only got a few puffs, and it was time to walk past them again, to snub it out. They are both watching me do this again, only not realizing it was a shorty.
I couldn't help it. I had to go for it.
I pulled out the other shorty, and very loudly asked Diane for a light a gain.

You could almost hear the "gasp" from both of them.

I made sure my back was turned when she lit it for me, we talked for maybe 3 minutes, and this shorty was done, too.

I walked past them again to snub it out. From the looks on their faces, it was all I could do to keep from bursting out in laughter.

I had this huge grin on my face when I got back to Diane, and tried to start explaining to her in a quiet voice what had happened, and that I don't even have a "shirt pocket" for the water to get in, but the couple were on their way out.
I heard him mumble something as he passed the garbage can, and drop something into it, but I couldn't hear it.

"Diane, did you just hear what he said?"
"Yeah, I think so. It sounded like, "No wonder the flint is dead."

goodnight everyone, thank you so much for reading.

 

[nanadeb]

When you have had the lenses of your eyes removed, it can take forever, a good half hour, if at all.

All right, Mr. Nebo Dude, I gotta ask.
Why did you have your lenses removed?
And why didn't you make the Doc put new ones in?

I got to choose the focal length of the one they put in my eye after they did the roto rooter thing on my own lens. Danged if the world didn't seem brighter and more colorful afterwards.

And, Duuuuuuude, what's with not liking the Crush Dude?

Dude. (shakes head)

 

[myrsfmly]

"Diane, did you just hear what he said?"

[Disneydad99]

angela, it's not really a job.. mostly a fill-in, the people are nice. if you work REALLY hard at it, you can manage to open those beer cans without breaking a nail I was really excited the other night.. I actually made one mixed drink!( if you spend enough time talking to them, they'll leave you $2 instead of $1.) I can't blame them, that's what they know. My dad is 83, and when we go to dinner, he will pick up the whole tab.. he's NOT cheap! but I always peek at the bill after, to see the tip, and end up chasing down the server to slip her some extra $. "he's old, he doesn't know any better" and I don't want to insult him.
just reread the last 10 pages! all I have to say is LYMI! you guys are the best medicine in the world! (outside of Nebo, who has been there for me, thick and thin) the disboards (read: all you great people) are the BEST attitude adjustment in the world
now, back to your unregularly scheduled program. (sorry, I'm working tomorrow night instead of tonight)

Hey Diane,

I am so Glad you are working ...at least they tip sometimes...I don't get Poor tippers...they make me

& we love ya'll also!!!! & believe me this has been the Best thing to happen to our Family in a long time...I have a stressful job ...& I used to come home & just be Mad...then I found The DIS...started reading Nebos thread...started my own...& now DisneyMom will tell you....I am much more calm at Night!!!!!

So thanks to You & Steve also!1!!!

 

[Disneydad99]

They do Change the Names alot don't They!!!!

Soarin' is a great ride, especially when you are in pain.
And especially when you have pain relievers.
I have been told that there is a hidden mickey on the golf ball that flies right in your face, but I still can't catch it.

I've Seen It....It really is Their!!!!...But it's Hard to see...I had to get out My extra Strong Bifocals to Catch it......!!!!!!

goodnight everyone, thank you so much for reading.

Good Night Steve.....!!!!

 

[smidgy]

All right, Mr. Nebo Dude, I gotta ask.
Why did you have your lenses removed?
And why didn't you make the Doc put new ones in?

ever hear of someone having cataracts removed? well, cataracts are really clouded up lenses. so when they are removed, it is actually the lens that is being removed. and an unfortunate side effect is the person becomes far-sighted.
now, if you are extremely near-sighted, and have your lenses removed (even if they are not clouded up), you become more far-sighted.. hence:less nearsighted.

lighters: I confess! if a customer at the bar puts a dead lighter out to throw out I just HAVE to try it first! funny thing is, half the time I get it lit! (ok, maybe it had only 1 or 2 lights left , but it DOES so annoy them! )

 

[UtahMama]

Great. You didn't know this, but me and Melinda, oops, Melinda et moi, WERE going to kidnap you and take you to Honey I thrilled the Audience In Our Early 90's Wardrobe and Hair-Styles." We thought it was your favorite! Crap!

Now we're stuck kidnapping you and taking you on an unmedicated trip on Soarin' WITH a feet view and hope-to-gosh you see the curse-ed hidden mickey (I'll point it out to you when the time comes).

AND not to jack your ride, but I am only 2 degrees from Patrick Warburton! NO kidding. He's my friend-since-birth's DH's BFF. PW was my friend's DH's best man in their wedding GUESS who(m) was a bridesmaid???? Except, they had two receptions (if I remember correctly) and I wasn't at the reception PW was at, per say. Wrong coast even. See? Two degrees! That makes all of you reading THREE degrees of Puddy. You are welcome! ((huffing on my fingernails and shining them on my collar))

And I thought I was the only one to make teenaged CM's cry! Shaaaaame!

 

[winkers]

"And just remember, dear, no plot for me. I want to be creamated, you know me, I like to think outside of the BOX."
that's a good one!
YES! My finest hour!
I looked around, and some people were really laughing, but some had the "I don't get it" look on them. Oh well.
do I get extra credit for getting it?


But these cast members that lead the hordes behind them are the most powerfull people on the earth!
More powerfull than any foriegn country dictator, more powerfull than Jesse Jackson, more powerfull than even our Commander in Chief, and , dare I say, even more powerfull than Rosie O'donnels mouth!
Nobody dares cross the line, they may move up next to them, but they never pass them. If they put cast members along the Mexican border holding a rope, that would be the end of illegal immigrants.
I think you've just found a solution to the illegal imigrant problem

Ok, I guess I'm not at the front, now I have to work my way back.
Wish I had a flashlight.

I pulled out my camera.
I took twenty pictures of the queue on the way back to the boarding area.
(thank you Steven Wright)

But even when I got there, I stil couldn't see a thing, and it was time to get in a clamshell, and I didn't have the slightest idea what it looked like, or which way it was facing, or anything.

This really, really, got ugly, and I am not exaggerating any of this.

Diane grabbed my hand, and let go just as she got in, which was normal.
I stepped up into something, and sat down, oh BOY did I sit down.

Right all the way down to the floor.

My tailbone hit with a splat, I felt a wrench in my back, and then the door automatically closed on my foot, which was still outside the car.
I think that was the correct sequence.

The words, OMG, came from the left, Diane. And OMG, came from the right, a cast member, and all I'm thinking now is OMG, cool, I'm listening in stereo!

Normally, when you do something really stupid and hurt yourself, the first thing you do is look around and see if anybody else saw that too.

Really, you can cut your head off, and the first thing you will do is try to put it back up on top of your neck and look around with a look that says, " I meant to do that."

Well, that's what I'm trying to do right now.
Speaking loudly; " Oh ho ho, those Disney jokers and the moving seats got me, Oh ho ho ho. "

But I still didn't know where the seat was.
And I tried again.
Then the car lurched forward, and I banged a corner into my rib. I tried to sit back down as quickly as I could, but almost sat on the floor again, only this time facing the other way. Luckily, Diane grabbed me, and shoved me backward into a seat.

"Whew!" "Was it good for you?"
I'd love to see a re-enactment
It was kind of hard to enjoy the ride, partly because I still couldn't see, and partly because I was trying to figure out if some of my favorite bones were broken.
which bones would that be?
It is cooll though the way they put Nemo and Dory into the regular tank.


The last time we were here, I got to the point where I wanted to grab this kid's Pal Mickey away from him, and just start yelling,,,,
"One more Kodak Memory, and the mouse get's it!"


And with that, i'm going to say, goodnight Love you, mean it!
ditto! you too smidy!

sorry it took me so long to respond, I'm on vacation...........

I have been told that there is a hidden mickey on the golf ball that flies right in your face, but I still can't catch it.

Just a time, that might be worthless, but in my experience, it is much easier to see if you are on the right (when looking at the screen)- don't know why, but I always see it on that side, and only see a blur when in the middle or on the left.

 

[zigzagzerr]

No, I'm not zigzaggerating this part at all. But he didn't get the sarcasm.

That's cute!

I totally agree about the pre show for Honey I Shrunk the Audience -- very snoozifying. And I don't understand why they won't let you go on through if the show is starting. Let's stage a revolt!

I'm disappointed that you haven't actually made it inside the Coral Reef yet. Well, maybe next time....

 

[Sorsha]

I just remembered reading a post I wanted to comment on.
DisneyFreak; You mentioned that you'll be down there in Sept. too? Great, we check in at Riverside on Sept. 22, will you be staying there also? Gotta run, thanks for readin

Hey Nebo and Smidgey!
I came late to the party and hence am only on page way-back-here... but had to jump in and say:
1) Great trip report so far! Am enjoying it, and spending way too much time reading it instead of doing important things like laundry and dishes. Thank you for feeding my procrastination habit.
2) I will be at POR Sept 20 - 29! Hope to see you there!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Nebo,

I just bought a 6-pack of Bics, I'll bring you some spares.

Great report again!

Smidgy, that "removing lenses" comment concerns me now, my Dr. said I will need that sometime......... 1/2 hour to adjust to light? YIKES!

 

[lgcountry]

Hi all,
Nebo, so sorry about falling in the clam shell. DH was worried about doing that with his bum leg.

Oh yeah, we are back from our trip, and I actually thought about you guys. I thought about Diane bartending at the Gurgling Suitcase at OKW, and how much I would have enjoyed having her there.

Also had one of your favorite expressions run through my mind, more than once.

But, you'll have to read my TR to find out which one it was. Oh, I'm so mean.

glad Miss D got a job of sorts, and hope all is well, other than the normal not well, I mean.

 

[nanadeb]

ever hear of someone having cataracts removed? well, cataracts are really clouded up lenses. so when they are removed, it is actually the lens that is being removed. and an unfortunate side effect is the person becomes far-sighted.
now, if you are extremely near-sighted, and have your lenses removed (even if they are not clouded up), you become more far-sighted.. hence:less nearsighted.

Geeze, Smidgy, I must have had the deluxe cataract removal/ lens replacement surgery. I got to choose my focal length before the surgery and they had the lens all ready to pop in after they pulverized the old one. I still have to wear anti-glare coatings on my Transition lenses (glasses), but I only have a little problem transitioning from light to dark.
Can't they do something for Nebo?
I'm beginning to think we should call him the Crash Dude.

 

[Piglets Mommy]

Well, Nebo, I'm finally caught up, and have loved every second of it. This is ROFL and PIMP funny! Our Dec trip is to celebrate DD being potty trained and is being paid for partially with $$$ saved on diapers. The problem is now I need Depends to read your TR!!! How am I gonna explain why Mommy needs a diaper????

 

[lexmelinda]

SHe said, "What about the other incisions?"
"No, I"m sorry, those were missed. I'll try better next time and go for the triple crown."

I heard that.

A very audible gasp, went up.

Now I'm going to HISTA just for the preshow! I have to see what all the fuss is about! I don't remember it from the 2000-screaming-exit viewing. I must've been distracted.

I was a tad cranky right after "Grinding Nebo".

Now why do you do that? Now that ride will always be Grinding Nebo. In my head. Geez.

Yes, Melinda, you are correct.

I feel like Hermione. I always have my hand raised with the right answer.

THAT'S PUDDY, FROM SEINFELD, YOU KNOW, PATRICK WARBURTON?

My kids had him pegged as the voice of Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove. Which is how some people know him. I always think of him as Puddy.
