hey, luvmyboys, yes, I feel the same way as your screen name, and that is WHY, I left them home that night.![]()
Or maybe...
GO GO GADGET "UDDER!"

Hi, Kathy, right? I'm so glad that someone agreed with me about the queue there. I don't understand why they do that. But I'm also still trying to figure out why most establishments turn the air down to 60 degrees in the summer. If you go out for dinner, you have to bring along a jacket when it's 90 outside.That is soooo sweet Nebo. Love you too.
I cringe for you when I hear of your mishaps. My son and niece didn't like the queue at Nemo- too dark, so we didn't ride it. Smart kids.
Loved your review of Boma, especially the getting the budder. Not to mention how cute you were as a cow. Keep it coming.
Actually, Angela, I used to go a lot longer without hurting myself, butj anything new is always a risk. I think if I tried skydiving, which I almost did with my son, I wouldn't get hurt when I landed. Nope, I would hit the Good Year Bliimp on the way down, and get hurt that way."And I'm still shooting blanks. "
Is this because your snap on tool wasn't......snapped on right??
Sorry I couldn't resist.
I was wondering when a mishap would occur. Is a week without one a record?
Angela
Ok. .![]()
I totally lost it on this one, because this is SO something that my Dad would say to my Mom! He is the king of all puns. I think I will call my Dad tonight just to chat!

Thanks, Kim, now I feel like I have maybe even done something good. And when you're done talking to your dad, could you tell my kids to give me a call?![]()

when I read about you sitting (kinda) on the floor, and I KNOW that must have hurt!
And while I'm out here, I might as well tell you that this Trip Report is great!
And to quote another amazing "trip reporter",

Whogirl, that was Colleen that posted that site, but I still haven't been over there. It's that good, huh? Have to check it out.So sorry you got hurt again, Nebo! Maybe a "husband leash" is in order--they make them to fit just on your wrist (and on smidgy's). Maybe DGrandson has one he's not using anymore!Sorry, didn't mean to be mean...LY/MI!!!
Speaking of LY/MI, thanks to whoever posted the link to delswife's TR the other day. I literally spent ALL day reading all 60 or so installments in between the cleaning (dust a room, read a chapter), the cooking (chop some things, read a chapter), picking up DD from school (what, it's 3 o'clock already?, read a chapter). Whew!! But it sure was good! I think all the great trip report writers should take a trip together (nebo included, of course!) and write one big PIMP funny report (that's pee-in-my-pants, not the illegal kind),
Hey Kyle, welcome back, and your Tigers are slipping, slipping, ,,, no don't even mention my Sox. I just chose the wrong color.NEEEEEEEBO!!!! I'm back and just caught up with your posting...good to read Nebo again!
I have a question...Iv'e heard that at on time or another Evel Knieval has broken every bone in his body. Is this an accomplishment that you're aiming for as well?Just wondering
![]()
Are you back from your trip. I'm sorry, I can't remember when it was. I knew it was coming up before mine. At the Yacht and Beach Club. I don't get to the pre trip section often, that's why Jaime and Patrick and Becky and Celerystalker are barely speaking to me.
However, I will have you know, that, believe it or not, I never broke a single bone in my body, until right after our first tripl to Disney, in '92, playing basketball. I do wish my body didn't feel like it needs to catch up, though.
Nicole, I think I am going to have to clarify the last installment. The last part of the Honey I Shrunk the Audience, was a copy and paste, from the last tr. I just thought why try to up the prose, when the last time I was there explained my feelings. So, I cheated.Great update!Loved it - mean it!
![]()
I am sorry that you neboed yourself on Finding Nebo, I mean, Nemo! It sounds like you recovered pretty quickly since you were able to pull off that duck walk around Smidgy w/o incident!![]()
No, believe me, by the time we made it over there, the vikes were flowing.
And a hearty welcome to you, zigzagzzurger, or something like that. I hope you have a terriffic, trip, but the more you try to prevent an injury, the more likely one will happen. It's why so many players get hurt in pre season football. Be especially carefull of the housemaids at the resorts, they are all so short, (I think it's a requirement) that they cant see over the top of the "Killdozer" cart that they are pushing.Nebo!
Just wanted to let you know that I am having a great time reading this report. Sorry for your injury at Epcot (I have told my family there is "no illness, no injury" allowed prior to our trip next week....maybe I should have added a clause about injuries WHILE at Disney, hmmm). Oh well, they never read my memos anyway.![]()
Keep it coming, great job!![]()
Ok, except for agreening with you on the zigga zagga part, I have no idea what you are talking about, I 'm assuming the part she had in quotes about "no injury" is from a song?zigga zagga zigga zagga zig zag zer! It's from Elmopalooza!!!!![]()
(sorry, nebo, I couldn't help myself... your new poster made me break out in song... I won't do that again... probably.)
Boy, there is a line sitting there that I dasn't touch. And I will have you know that I am working out too. As a matter of fact, in two more weeks, it's time for my semi-annual sit up.Hey I worked for these 2 muscles.
And you gotta watch out that clam must have been a man eating clam. Nebo is food not friend.![]()
Colleen, thanks for the tips and the nice words. I do wish you guys were there with me on the floor, it wouldn't have hurt so much.You are welcome for the link...it is a long read but absolutely worth your time. Delswife is one of the funniest I have ever read.
Your lesson for today my dearest nebo, photoshop is what you use to change photos.
If you and diane do a trip to the world in december in the future there is a good chance of us having other chances to meet.
No worries
Great episode neebs!
Your way of getting us virtually right there on the floor with you is priceless!

Hi Amber, welcome to the fambly. Let's see, did you know I was psycho?Just wanted to say that you are hilarious. I am so enjoying reading your TR. I was also wondering..... Do your stories in real life take this long to tell?
Just kidding!![]()
Keep 'em coming.

Or does it have to be a fall down injury?
(Don't they sell cotton candy here?)Now I read that installment in two sittings (Mom, can I use the computer for just a minute?) but I think you said you hadn't been hurt on this vacation.
What about that support between the double doors at Universal where your glasses were imbedded in your forehead? Did that not count?Or does it have to be a fall down injury?
Hey Kyle, welcome back, and your Tigers are slipping, slipping, ,,, no don't even mention my Sox. I just chose the wrong color.

I'm back from my little DIS board break. I had been absent while trying to get a jump on work before we leave. And now I'm caught up and the DIS addiction can continue. As for our own trip...We leave Thursday
I almost can't watch right now


zigga zagga zigga zagga zig zag zer! It's from Elmopalooza!!!!![]()

Today is friday, the 11th I believe. And we are finally going into a major theme park. Epcot.
As we are getting ready, I'm waiting for it.
You know, IT!
What she has started out almost every morning with, so far.
Remember Steve, Live every day like it's,,,,,,, yada, yada yada.
Nebo thunked too soon.
Well, that's not the look that she read. Nope, uh uh, sorry senoir.
She read, Company is going under. His back hurts, his foot hurts, the Sox lost yesterday, and Hillary Clinton could be our next president.
And she said it.
"Steve, remember, live every day like it's your last day on earth. "
Oh great, she did it. And now I have an audience.
And I glance around and it was like E. F. Hutton had just spoken, they were all listening, and now waiting to see what my response would be.
And I'm still shooting blanks.
So, I just started to babble to buy time, and in the babble, a line found it's way in.
"Yeah, well, that philosophy is all well and good, but just remember, since today is my last day, that tomorrow you have to get rid of the body."
I heard a few snickers, and that just encouraged me.
Concerning things like this, I don't need encouragement!
"And just remember, dear, no plot for me. I want to be creamated, you know me, I like to think outside of the BOX."
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.
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.
But, today, we didn't follow any of them.
We headed straight over to Feeding Nebo, the ride.
I'm sorry, I mean Finding Nemo, the ride.
Make sure you stand in front of the sign for a few moments, until the sea gulls start chirping "MINE" MINE, mine.
One thing I forgot to mention. One of the things I was musing about on the bus was that we have now been away from home for one week, and I really havent hurt myself yet. Haven't you all noticed that?
Well, except for almost crashing inside the Smokies, and running into the partition at Terminator, but that's just normal stuff to me.
Doesn't count.
So,,,,,,
" I am your host, your Ghost host, and I sense a strong feeling of foreboding."
Yeah, you know what's coming.
Or do you?
(darn you la la)
It's nine in the morning, not a cloud in the sky.
WHich means it's Bright!
And Nebo can't walk into a building from the "bright", and see a durn thing.
Now, even though Diane doesn't have this problem, and knows that I do, she doesn't always realize the extents that it translates to.
To her it's not that dark, and she is in commando mode, charging through the Queue area.
I'm hanging onto the railing, feeling my way forward, but it wasn't working.
Because it's not crowded yet, they have "shortcuts' open, that of course, I don't see. But she does. I finally reached a fixed rope, and just stood there. And waaaaay off in the distance, I hear, "Steve?" "Where are you?"
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?"
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.
Yep, you got it, a mini-not so hidden- rerun.
And with that, i'm going to say, goodnight Love you, mean it!![]()

First of all my dear, and this goes for luvmyboys also. Let me copy from the last installment.Now I read that installment in two sittings (Mom, can I use the computer for just a minute?) but I think you said you hadn't been hurt on this vacation.
What about that support between the double doors at Universal where your glasses were imbedded in your forehead? Did that not count?Or does it have to be a fall down injury?
So are you recommending the Nemo thing or not? Just cute...not worth a long wait?
I'm definitely gonna hafta do the HISTA movie this time. We skipped it last time. I think the girls are still scarred from their screaming exit on the 2000 trip. It's like the Tree of Tears in Epcot!
?)
Shannon, see above.Thanks for sayin' what I was thinking LM! I just didn't want to rub it into Nebo's poor accident-prone face. The man needs some dignity!![]()
Nebo-- Maybe it's better you never got that corn dog... you know there is a pointy wooden stick in those suckers, right?
Sharp stick + Nebo + soft tissue of the esophagus=![]()
(with your luck, you'd get nailed by an errant ECV mid-bite).![]()
Great installment Nebo! LY/MI!!

Yah, Kyle's Tigers are in first place now!Maybe I should have been a bit more clearI'm back from my little DIS board break. I had been absent while trying to get a jump on work before we leave. And now I'm caught up and the DIS addiction can continue. As for our own trip...We leave Thursday

Oh yes Wendy. Diane "saves" me all the time. She was the one that told me to sit, she was the one that slammed me into the doorframe. As Nemo would say, "with fronds like these who needs anemones?"Yay!!! a new Nebo chapter!
Diane saves your carcass often, does she? You poor, blind, dear!
I thought your "outside the box" comment on the bus was verah funny!
Delswife was the "first" to rock my socks so.....LY/MI!!!![]()
Yeah triple z , I had an encounter last trip report with a mousekeeper on the elevator, with which I barely escaped with my life. It was over at Pop.Hmm.....(hey, wasn't that a song too? Things that make you go hmmm)
Thanks, Nebo. I'll try to steer clear of the killer mousekeepers.
I wish I would have been in that Bus...That is Funny!!!!
OMG ...1st of all ...Love the Steven Wright reference!!!!.....& I hopr you survived...waht a Fall!!!!!

Yes Redwitch, welcome back. I remember you from the last report. I thought you ran off with Jimmie Johnson or something.Remember me??![]()
I caught up! I caught up!
Just have to comment... Bomas - someone posted on the Dining Board some time ago that their family would not let them make an ADR at Bomas because "they feed you bugs." Now, DD and I found this![]()

We are now known to sing "Boma Bugs for Breakfast" in perfect harmony at the mere mention of the place. (You get interesting looks on the bus.)
As always - great trippy! Looking forward to the next chapter!
Marita, when I drink manhattans, I'm not allowed a stool, I just sit on the floor and untie people's shoes.Let's play "Where in the world is Nebo?"
It's Sunday night, we need our fix!!!!!!!!!!
I say he is at the bar with a Manhattan and just fell off the barstool......
LY/MI!
Not telling yet.=HaleyB;20258216]So what is up with the half smoked smokes accounting?
I believe you, people that come up with, "well, that was a pump fake chapter" are definately smirkers.Love the 'out of the box' joke. But I am one of those people that gets jokes about 6 seconds later than everyone else. Which causes me to stare blankly right after a punch line (while I run it through the funny filters in my head) and then to laugh (or really smirk, I'm much more of a smirker than a laugh out louder).
Mr Silly has to badly injure his foot before or during a trip to WDW. He has lost the nail on his big toe. Split his toe open so that it gushed blood. Broken a toe or toes. If he had steel toed shoes I bet a rock would fall on his foot in just such a way as to force the steel plate down and cut into his foot/toes. Really. And his eyesight/night vision is really good. I'm the one that is blind in low light (or if you ask my family in regular light too). The future holds many scary yet potentially humorous things for us, I am sure. But enough about me.
One Coral Reef, coming right up!When do we get to the Coral Reef?

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.When we walked up to the bus stop, I had lit a smoke. But the bus pulled up right away, I got maybe two puffs before I had to snub it out and put it back in my pack.
Now, once the bus landed, I try it again for the walk to the front gate. But of course I grabbed one of the taller ones, and got maybe four puffs from that one before I had to snub it out and put it back in the pack.
I know you're wondering why I'm sharing this with you, but it will come into play later on at Epcot.
.That's Honey I shrunk the Audience, for Marita, who's never been to Disney
If you and smidgy are still there on the 29th, I'm forcing her to go see Fantasmic! Oh Nebo! Can't you wait to one side for your eyes to adjust? How long does it take?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!
My eyes well up everytime. I hate it.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!"

Nebo said:I thought you ran off with Jimmie Johnson or something.
Nebo said:to what tune is Boma bugs sung to?
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.
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
