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

[Backstage_Gal]

Ok, my usual totally lame reply. I LOVED IT. I need to aquire some verbage skills, really. But then I can't sing either, I got thrown out of choir at age 13 (yes, it hurt my ego for Life!) I cant do math in my head either, so why am I in Finance? Anyway, all to say, I have no talents to gush, just love your reports!

I should suggest corn dogs to the Disney Food gods.

But, HERE IS THE AWESOME PART, NEBO!

I got my TAG from YOUR trip report. I will buy you a corn dog or a turkey leg or a a LAPU LAPU at the Poly!

Yes, this does happen occasionally, sometimes I just get really sick of beer.
And the 4.75 a cup!

Before I read any furher, I have to say, WOOO HOOO, Nebo got tagged!!!!!!!!!!

I had a tag once, which I did not like and it seems the kindly tag fairy removed it, LOL. So I am tagless with close to 4,000 posts.

But I am not bitter, Honestly!

Now back to the regularly scheduled Nebo report......

marita, you shouldn't have just a tag under your name.
It should be the size of War and Piece!

Congratulations on your tags, you earned them. We were supposed to get to US and IOA on our trip back in February (it was our non-Disney trip, really a trip to visit my sister and my new baby niece) but the night before we flew to Florida my husband slipped on ice, flew up in the air and landed on the concrete steps (Do you two know each other?). We didn't do too much park time on that trip. I think we were last there in 2002.

Hi Maggie, I am cringing just thiinking about that.
Back when I was just a kid, before the cell phone age, we used to just go down the gangway to the back door and do the "YO -O- Jeff!" Or whatever name. These homes had 5 steps up to the door, and right next to it , 5 steps down to the basement door. While waiting for my buddy to come out, my ball rolled down to the basement door, so I jumped the 5 steps down to get it.
Only problem was I wasn't thinking about the overhanging wall of the back porch. My forehead slammed into the wall, my feet flew out forward, and I came crashing down on my back and head on the concrete steps. The whole family came rushing out to see what made the house shake. I ended up with stitches in the front AND back of the head.

The Tag Fairy rarely makes it to the TR Board-I think you are very deserving of your Tags. I have no clue what any of them means, but the Tag Fairy must know and I am guessing you do too. Are you sad about your Tags?

Hi mari, I like the tags, makes me feel special, kind of like Steve Martin did when the new phone books came. " I AM SOMEBODY!"

As I mentioned before, you seriously need a full body suit of rubber!

 

[kindakrazy2]

Congrats on the tags Nebo!

Been laughing my butt off at your trippie - love it!

Sorry about the face vs glasses incident!

 

[nebo]

Ouch!! Poor nebo

On another note - congrats on your new tags!!!

Hi michelle, yes, I"m so proud of my new tags. I took a picture of them and now I've been showing them to everybody. How long again before they sleep through the night?

Nebo, next time before you venture out into the dangerous world, have Diane wrap you in bubble wrap! You need some sort of rubber thingy you can wear so you'll just bounce, kinda like a walking padded cell.
I have the same love for corn dogs! There is an amusement park called Lagoon that I grew up going to that has hand dipped foot long corn dogs! Heaven on a stick!

HELLOOOO, WINKERS! I never heard of Lagoon. Is that in Utah? Isn't it amazing how many people have responded about corn dogs? I love them, and the store freezer section has at least 4 different brands of them to make at home. ANd they all suck. No, you cannot nuke them, my best results with the frozen ones is actually to put them right on the grill.
By the way, there is a new movie coming out, a sequel I believe. "The Boy in the Plastic Bubble Wrap." I wonder who's going to play me?

Ooh! I got a story!!!

Lately, I have been having a problem parking under the maple trees on my block. Everytime I go out to my car in the morning, the car is covered in (what I thought was) tree sap. I mean COVERED. Like if the sap was red, there'd be a guyt in a mask carrying a chain saw standing on the corner. Like if the sap was green, I would have won a Nick Kids' Choice Award.

Once I could unstick my hand from the door handle, I couldn't go anywhere anyway until I washed the sap off the windshield!

So a lot of sap, get it?

I go to work yesterday and decide to find out WHY these maples are dripping so badly on my car. (WHAT did we ever do before the Internet???)

Turns out, it's not the TREE, it's waste product of little bugs called aphids. It's called honeydew. Huh.

So (see? I remembered the point of this story!), so, as I got to my block last night, my head started to sing:

Don't park under the maple tree
Because the aphids will pee.
Because the aphids will pee.
Because the aphids will pee.
Oh, no, no!
Don't park under the maple tree
Because the aphids will pee.
And get the car stick-eee!!!!!!

Aren't you glad I shared???

Ok, I have to admit, I didn't know that. Tree sap, didn't bother me that much, But Aphid Poop? Not good. I suppose you'll be wanting me to come over and De- poop your car now in the summer , too?

I love corndogs, too--the best ones around here are at Krystals (which you don't have up there, I believe. It's like White Castle but way better). My husband got a corndog at a gas station/souvenir shop in Oregon and swore it was the best one he'd ever had! I do think we'll try the corndog nuggets at Casey's on our next WDW trip, just because. It would be an easy portable snack to eat strolling around Main St., unlike a chili cheese dog!
!

I love this. I can talk about my face being smashed in, TWICE, and all anybody wants to talk about is corn dogs! Hey, hoogirl, those nuggets that you spaketh of are only on the childs's menu, If you leave my mental capacity out of it, we are severly lacking in kids. I did it once, at Pecos Bill's, and even though it was plenty to eat, I truly felt like a cheaskate idiot. Hold it. Not cheescake, cheapskate. And it's still not the same trying to walk down Main st. popping corn dog nuggets in your mouth.
With mustard.
Gotta be on a stick.

Ok, I can't figure how to quote someone, BUT, I bet I can top the doesn't like tomatoes but loves pizza and sphagetti. I hate cheese, I mean I loathe it. My dad says that when I was a baby, they tried feeding it to me in my high chair, and I would make a face and spit it back out. BUT....I love pizza with extra cheese, and tacos with cheese. I will eat lasagna, but not with the ricotta cheese, just with mozzarella. BUT, I will not eat mozzarella cheese if it is cold, or if you were to just give me a chunk or slice of it. I will only eat it on pizza, stromboli, lasagna. I will however eat cold, unmelted shredded taco cheese on top of a taco. But, don't give me a cold slice, I will not eat it. Have you ever heard anything so absurd? So, I can totally understand the whole tomato thing.

Holy cow, I read it twice, and I still don't know what you said. I have a feeling that if I was having dinner with you, when it came time to order, that's when I head to the bathroom. Like when Diane tries to get the waitress to deliniate the difference between "over easy" and "over medium" for her eggs.

The WFAATH disease was a great line! It describes Nebo so well. I like the tags. I was wondering how those got there.
Another great installment as usual. I just knew something was going to happen when you started running. I'm getting the feeling Smidgy was getting a payback after the elevator incident. Good one smidge! I LOVE corndogs. Especially the more classic ones. I seems like most have that honey batter. EEWWWWW, too sweet.
Angela

Against my better judgement, I am going to try to post a picture soon of where my corn dog fascination originated. And then we won't be talking about corn dogs anymore, it will be about something else. That is, if anyone comes back to this thread after the photo.

where does tag ferry live¿

After all these corn dogs and rotten tomatoes, I think she lives in TAGamet land, next to Liberty Square.

 

[nebo]

I don't know if Mr. Technologically Challenged could handle an ipod, lets just get him a cell phone first! Actually......my cell phone is also an MP3 player, maybe nebo could get one of those and kill two birds with one stone - just a thought......

Ouch

You know, it could just be my paranoia talking, but I get the impression that not too many of you are impressed with my technologically astute mental powers, nor in my ability to remain in this world.

It sounds like Sonnergirl actually wants me to get rid of my 8-track player, and Winkers thinks I should be dressed all the time im bubble wrap, but HaleyB takes the cake.
Looks like she just has me "flatlining".

Ugh! I can't get Ricky Martin out of my head now. Thanks.



OT: I was just reading your previous 'feeding nebo' trip report, and I just had to gloat- I went on the segway tour back in Oct 2005 and there were too many people in our group. They brought in one of the CM segways, so we would all have enough- and the extra one had the faster key. I was (un)lucky enough to ride it, although all I really got to do with it was run into the tour guide, then the wall. I swear it was unintentional.

For you Segway folks, you do know they are trying out a new tour in Fort Wilderness? We are seriously considering it if it's offered.
I WILL find a way to get the "red" key away from the tour guide.
heh heh

Oh! That reminds me - my refill expires next week! Thanks, Mo!!!!

WHAT?!!! The refill expires? That means it's a year old! I can't make a CURRENT refill last until it's time to get it refilled.
AND YOU STILL DON"T SHARE?

"GO, APHIDS!"

Nebo, aren't there corndogs on the boardwalk? I could have sworn I saw a place there?

I hear you on bad feet, I have titanimum plate and pins holding my right foot together. That's why I am a crocs convert, lots of room for swelling

As for Terminator 3-d, I have to admit, I just don't get it. Glad to see someone enjoys it.

Please feel free to continue to give as many details about US as possible, Jaime LOVES this part of everyone's trip reports.

Sorry to hear that you are in the foot group, puggymom, you're probably like me and wondering if you'll set off the metal detectors at the airport. Unfortunately, this is the last night at Uni, coming up. And I can't believe you weren't blown away by Terminator. It might be a gender thing, Diane doesn't like it as much as me, either.

Nebo---
You gotta go to Sonic for a really good corn dog, among other things. There are several Sonics in Orlando, so make that a priority for your next trip.
And, oh, order onion rings with the corn dog. They coat the onion rings with---are you ready?--corn dog batter!
Top that off with a diet Cherry Limeade (that's my concession to better health) and it is a humdinger of a feast.
Hey, it is healthier you know. Lime juice = Vitamin C. A maraschino cherry is fruit, right? And they even give you a lime wedge for even more pulpy power.
The corn meal in the batter is whole grain. That's fiber, right? Onions are vegetables. The hot dog. Ummmm. Hmmmm. Well. Uh.
No trans fats?
Sigh.

Nanadeb, I never heard of sonic's. Are they made out of Hedgehogs?
never mind

I have long been saying that a hot dog with fries and a shake fill all your daily requirments.

dairy=shake
protein=hotdog
vegetables=relish and onions
fruit=pickle
starch and fiber =poppyseed bun and fries
sodium=celery salt

 

[luvhockey]

For Sonic--head this way. Lots of Sonic restaurants in st louis area. Love all the drink combinations. Good burgers, great corn dogs (not the sweet batter kind), foot long chili dogs, fried cheddar bites with ranch dressing, all kinds of shakes... Drive in like the old A&W's

Ooooh, those are good corndogs at Lagoon!

DisneyLAND has 2 places to get hand dipped huge corn dogs. One is at Paradise Pier in Disney CA. Adventure. To die for!

I didn't mean to laugh so hard when you egged the plexyglass door. I yam truly sorry. You make my laugh muscles hurt!!!!!!

Ok, ok, I am dying for one now, I do have a hot dog stand not far from here that has them, but, again, it's not quite the same as a cart where they are hand dipping them, and you have to yell up into a little window to order.
p. s. I'm glad I am hurting your face.
that probably didn't come out right either

Awesome trip report! I'm a newbie to your TR's but so far great! Your poor face with that glass door.... and being led into the dark room and now being able to sing high notes....brilliant writing. I got in trouble at work...totally quite office.... then I start to laugh...a BWHAHAHAHAH laugh...it was good and I love your trip report! I'm offically enrolling in the Nebo fan club! Thanks for writing!

Welcome Alyssin, glad I could get you in trouble. Hope you have many more right ups, in the future.

Dagnabbit! 'puter craps out for a couple of days, last night I was unable to sleep so I hijack the wife's lappy for my Nebo fix.....
missed the first concussion, Nebo gets tagged (congrats btw)....
Great report,
gotta go scrap Windows now.
Shawn

Hey Shawn, glad to see you. You do realize that our gender is hopelessly outnumbered here?

I got anutter picture for ya!

My friend Rose decided she wanted to try out for Fear Factor Live~

guess who got picked?

Colleen, I"m beginning to think that there is not a picture waiting to be posted that you DON"T have. You're incredible. Did you see the show , yourself? i really thought it was a lot of fun.

Actually, this was a 6 month window for my 3 bottles of pills and secondly, OUCH! Rooting for the aphids???

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Never mind!

Hey it's Sunday, time for an update!

 

[nebo]

Adolph! I saw your new tags the other day. They look very nice on you! AND you've got quite a following! More nebo-newbies coming on board every day. Impressive considering you're on Chapter 13 and you haven't even gotten past the second day! You rock!

Alrighty....continue.........

Let's see, we left the house on Friday, it is now going on tuesday night, yep, you're right, two days.
geesh, and I"M the challenged one.

They're totally worth the kidney I had to sell to pay for the tickets to get into the park!

sorry Nebo, back to you.....................but hey, if you're ever in Utah you'll know where to get an awesome corn dog!

Ok, it is Utah, then, I'll be right over there.

I will absolutly keep sticking with these boards I really enjoy reading everything. It's amazing how much I really don't know about Disney...So many great ideas. Keep em coming.

Thanks

Kyle

P.S. Maggs is in the D baby. We were happy to take him off of your hands Although if you asked me that when we first signed him to that gigantic contract my response would have been much different.

Yo Kyle, I think I detect a certain avoidance of the "staying on site" issue.
ANd about Maggs, yeah, I really thought he was done when we didn't re-sign him.

mmm...corn dogs...luv em. Whenever we go to Cedar Point that's all we eat. The corn dogs and the fried cheese on a stick. So Healthy

I live on corndogs when we are there, I usually get them down by the Gemini.

Ok, my usual totally lame reply. I LOVED IT. I need to aquire some verbage skills, really. But then I can't sing either, I got thrown out of choir at age 13 (yes, it hurt my ego for Life!) I cant do math in my head either, so why am I in Finance? Anyway, all to say, I have no talents to gush, just love your reports!

marita, that is funny. Yeah, I would have preferred my tag to be something like, "Ok, who turned up the gravity?" but , hey, it's all good.

Sorry 'bout the avatar confusion (gotta love Bruce). Great minds (or is that disturbed?) think alike!!!

Just send that bill to "in limbo." I'm sure the USPS will have noooo trouble finding me!!

Congrats on the tags, and loved the installment! You are one banged-up dude! Back, foot, now a mangled face... Placing my blood-shed bet on NEBO!!!!!

luvmyboys,
See above.
Harrumph!

You know, I actually got really lucky when I joined up here last year. I got to keep my nickname, nobody else had it, and I got to pick sharkbait to match it up, and found that avatar.
yes, I love Brucey.

The whole story is, Rose wanted to play, she convinced me I had to "try out" with her, I got picked, she wound up in the audience and took the pictures~

It was a cool experience...hubby and me watch Fear Factor all the time, going backstage and working with the stunt and camera people was an experience I do not regret~I was knocked out in the first round btw~

great quote from fiddler on the roof! nebo and I love musicals. we have seen JC Superstar 8 times (at least) and nebo knows the whole score! I must say, he does a "mean" judas.
ok, my weird fantasy.... all you nebofans are at kimonos (the swan) for karaoke, and you all get to hear his "throaty" voice as he sings "A Rainy Night in Georgia " (brookbenton)
ps. I think they should institute a Pronto Pup(carnival name for corn dogs) at the stands they have turkey legs at (oops... did I just end a sentance in a preposition?) and it should be worth one snack credit.

I know every word to every song on JC Superstar!

My Mom had the double album soundtrack from the movie~



I have yet to see it on stage tho~



Yes Nebo, I have an experience or a photo for EVERYTHING!

 

[Philadisney]

"Of all the beer stands in all the world, these corndogs had to walk into mine."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! i just choked on my lunch.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

ATTENTION NEBO!

Look what I just found:

We had mini corn dogs and fries (which are particularly good at Casey’s) and most importantly…sauerkraut!! I mainly ate the kraut. I’ll confess it.

Corn dogs (of sorts) at Casey's!!!!!!

Colleen,I would not be surprised to find out that you have pictures of your own birth, that YOU took, only from a reverse angle that most of us are used to.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! i just choked on my lunch.

Oh , come on, your just sayin that to be sweet.


Oky doke, here we go. Hey, you guys are terrific, but how come I have to do most of the writing?
Typing.
Punching little tiny squares.
That keep moving around.

And I'm trying to make dinner here.
She left me on my own, to figure out leftovers on my own.

I looked.
It's scary!

It's like the tupperware containers in the fridge are MULTIPLYING!
I have no clue what's in any of them.

"Oh, here's one, a spoonful of beans."
"Oh, here's one, a spoonful of rice."

Yep, these will go far. Two spoonfuls I"m up to so far for dinner.
Ok, Admit it. How many of your DH's are going to run out to McDonalds, before they start going through the tupperware leftovers?

Do you get the feeling I'm killing time and space here?

Wish I had something interesting to write about.


Guess I'll just have to go back to Sam Peckinpah's script.

Once again, back from the pool, there was no time to relax.
We cleaned up, I checked my head, , no, it was still dry from the blow dry the other night, don't have to do that again.

So we changed to go down to Citywalk, Uni's version of Pleasure Island.

"Hey, Diane, have you noticed one thing about staying at Universal?"
"We have never gotten hurt , or gotten sick here, thrown out backs, you know, except for an "occasional" partition,,,, at least we have left HEALTHY!

"That's true, maybe because they don't have any yo yo's. "

I'm in a good mood. This trip has been just "Totally Excellent to each Other" so far, and tomorrow we head on out to the "real" part of the vacation.

Nope!
Nothing can go wrong tonight.

Our plan is to go to Pat O'brians, it's a remake of the same bar down in "Nawlins".

i'm sorry

But it's a lot of fun. And it's Tuesday, baby. On Tuesday, they have two for one drinks, including Hurricanes, aaaaand, two for one appetizers. You can get silly, cheapley, then get stuffed, and it won't break your wallet.

Why am I hearing Twilight Zone music in my ear?

Oh, what to wear, what to wear?

I pulled out my brand new WHITE tank top, and put it on.

"Honey?" "Does this make me look fat?"

Now, it was nipply last night, hmmm, maybe I should play it safe, and where my jeans tonight. But the only regular jeans I brought, I had driven down in. And no, not good for tonight. The other pair of jeans I brought, were also brand spanking new.

WHITE!

And I put them on.
Cool! I look like the Good Humor Man.

"How do I look?"

She looked at me.

"Like you need artificial coloring."

"Tough, I"m wearing it."

"I'd be careful if I was you, your just asking for something to stain that "outfit".

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be careful. Hey, all I have to worry about is the buffalo wings , right?"

"What OTHER stains should I have to worry about?
" I already shaved".

(if you think I'm having fun typing this right now and playing with you, you would be correct)

"DING a dinga ding!"
"Before we leave mr. Good Humor Man, can I have a Strawberry Shortcake?"

"Sorry, all out."

She said "Hey, wanto try to ferry tonight?"
"Sure, I don't care. "

We walked down to the dock, and sure enough, the boat was just pulling up.
For some reason the "captain" didn't tie off the back line, so the stern kept swinging out. I reached over and held this canopy pole on the boat, held it close to the pier, while everybody else got on. The wind was really blowing the stern away from the dock.

Then, it was my turn.

I let go of the pole, then ran around to the "Queue" area, to get in myself.

In that short time, even the "midships" portion of the boat had already swung away.

I stood there.
2 feet.
2 and a half feet.
3 feet.
crap

Just as he was swinging the gate shut,
it was now a 4 foot leap,

I jumped for it.
Heck no, not leaving this fat boy behind!

My foot hit the gate, it swung inward, I landed on the deck, looked at the "captain", and said, "Proceed."

He just stared at me, then untied the bow and off we went.

(man, if you could see the look on all your faces right now.)

3-5 am I Melinda?
Ha!

Oh, yeah, nights not over yet.

Uh oh, somebody's knocking.
"Who is it?"

Oh, that's right. brb.
