The Battle For My Wallet IV: Return of the ZZUBs (Addendum, p.85; 07/12)

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Well. ZZUB.

I see you have a new chapter here.

And... I pounced on it immediately. Like Tigger. With alacrity.

No. I Ran (So Far Away)!

No... not...not exacty like THAT.

My hair was much better.

It was more of an unwilling pounce of reluctance. And fear. Is what I'm sayin'. To you.

But what I'm REALLY sayin' is this: It took me exactly 6 seconds. Give or take five.

So.

Pretty good chapter. But what do I know? I'm out of practice. Here.

Guess what?

My grudging respect is for SALE!

Who's buying?

Heh heh.

Oh.

DED. Re: Calling to check on the cat. TF...FB...I.

Two questions: Was your chocolatey-type(ish) dessert a Handydandy terrific cake?


But... I'm afraid that I didn't believe part of it.

I think...

that you DIDN'T try THIS:

Yes. This:

Here:

Didn't YOU??????!!!!!

Heh double Heh.

Cheers, your friend,

Melly.

P.S. and (GOT IT! BAYBEEE!!!)

P.P.S. I'm going to need a definition for "fartootsed" too. Because I sure can't be Googling it. Either. Hi La!!!!!

R.T.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

That's NOT ZZUB.

Although... I was PRETENDING it was ZZUB.

When I punked the CARP outta him.

Mel.

“To get some free pop, honey?”

“Why?” she asked.

“Because we live in the Pacific Northwest and we call it pop.”

This is a discussion my friends and I get into sometimes. Is it soda? Is it pop? Is it coke? And can you tell the geographical region someone is from by what they call soft drinks (btw, why are they called 'soft drinks' they are not soft in the slightest). I give away my southern heritage time and time again by saying 'coke' even if I am referring to 'sprite' or 'pepsi'.

I always thought 'pop' was a Northeast thing, though? I hear more people call it soda here in Seattle than 'pop'. Or am I hanging around too many California transplants?

It wasn’t like I called to check on our cat so settle down.

*hangs head in shame*

I'll admit that is something I would do and it definitely gave me a giggle reading that comment. I'm slightly insane when it comes to my precious little furry babies.

 

[JanaJohn]

Moving on. Where to? I was completely flummoxed. Fartootsed even.

ZZUB, I've been lurking in the background long enough. First I want to congratulate the entire ZZUB family on your joyous addition.

Unlike others who've already responded to your post I wasn't the least bit reluctant in Googling Fartootsed. I thought for sure it was some kind of made up word. I was quite surprised when I was pointed to Yiddish-English-Yiddish Dictionary. Fartootsed seems to be some form of Fertootsed which means Over-dressed, overdone. At least according to the Yiddish-English-Yiddish Dictionary. At least I didn't find it hidden in some kind of Law book.

Like she even knows what goes on in Denny’s. Do you know that I haven’t eaten in Denny’s since November 2003?

That’s right. My wife hates Denny’s. Hates it. So we never get to eat there. The last time I enjoyed a Grand Slam was in November 2003.

Is it any wonder I have rage issues?

Not eating at your fav. place will have that kind of effect on ya! I hope you get that fixed!

 

[Kay7979]

Not really. That was just a test of the Emergency Go Numb Broadcast System. Had this been an actual Disney Is Going Downhill Fast Emergency, you would have been instructed to Go Numb immediately. And stay there until your passes for Universal Orlando arrive in the mail.

Very clever! Love it! Please add a sound byte with some annoyingly loud beeps. To get our attention to Go Numb. With alacrity.

Call my tastes unsophisticated, but we hit Denny’s for pancakes frequently after church. And their artery-clogging eggs stuffed with greasy ham, sausage and cheese, then smothered with more cheese concoctions are almost is good as the pancakes.

got some kind of sandwich on fancy schmancy bread. It looked like a lot of bread with a sliver of some kind of deli meat trapped under a hodgepodge of vegetables and lettuce products which no man should have to endure.

I feel your pain. No doubt the meat was organic. And you were probably eating philodendron leaves tossed with slivered barrel cactus.

Free refills? For the length of your meal? For the length of your time in the Land? For the length of your day in EPCOT? For the length of your stay? Or until your paper cup loses all physical properties? Did I even need a cup? Could I use my refillable for life DMVC Mug?

You’re kidding yourself. The only way the refill would be free is if the paper cup it came in cost $7.95.

Thanks for the new episode!

I don't usually comment on comments on my Trip Report, but

Fartootst (pronounced in my family as fuh-tootst), is indeed a Yiddish word. It means to be bewildered, confused, flummoxed or clueless. See, for instance, LaLa.

JanaJohn was correct that it is Yiddish, but the definition he gave was incorrect. Which might have been my fault. I misspelled the word. It's fartootst, not fartootsed.

Hard to believe I misspelled a word.

That's never happened before.

I mean it's not an easy word to spell, like say dining.

 

[UtahMama]

Thanks!

 

[EEyorelover22]

Awesome!

Congrats!!!

We don't even have a Denny's

 

[LaLa]

Hard to believe I misspelled a word.

I believe the word you're searching for is fartootst. And thanks for clearing that up. You don't wanna know what I thought it meant. Mexican food might be involved though.

 

[IkeandMike]

You are just too funny. Love the new post. You never fail to entertain.

I also sent in for the free maps, though I don't know why. Or if I'll use them, since they are gigantic. But they were free and have my name on them. I feel so special.

 

[disney junky]

Alacrity.....

In 51 years, I've never eaten at Denny's.

Not that there's anything wrong with that....

 

[Frickles]

I got some kind of sandwich on fancy schmancy bread. It looked like a lot of bread with a sliver of some kind of deli meat trapped under a hodgepodge of vegetables and lettuce products which no man should have to endure. In other words, it was missing the meat. And so was I.

This bears a striking resemblance to another tr that you suggested we read not too long ago.

Life with a daughter sounds like a hoot! I love hearing about your time together, even if I am cringing about her using the men's potty. I know some gnarly stuff goes on in there. Or so I hear.

 

[samc]

glad you're back to posting............'numbingly' funny as always...hehehe......hope all the girls at your house are doing well.....ROLL TIDE

 

[Crazy Kanga]

I'm glad you're back. How's the new little princess?

 

[Suzflee]

Do you know that I haven’t eaten in Denny’s since November 2003?

Zzub - Here's an
What do moms love more than anything?? For the Dads to take the kids out and give them an hour of quiet time. Here's your chance...

"Honey, I know you'd love to sleep in tomorrow. Let me take care of the kids, you stay in bed, and we'll go run some errands..."

Denny's is all yours!

 

[lorimc]

Nicely done!

I plan on giving a report in what life is like off-site when we go in May, if anyone is interested in that sort of blasphemy.

And yeah...I caught all the Coach Rod digs, BTW!!

 

[lexmelinda]

If in fact Disney is handing out more free beverages, then which sign of the apocalypse is this?

Lenny Bruce is not afraid.

Good to know your search for the appropriate free beverages ended well. Do you still have the cup from the Land? For your free refill next trip?

 

[Disfan3]

ZZUB!!!


I went to the POR food court. To have some meat. Cheesesteaks. and refill my DMVC EBAY purchased POR mugs. BUT.

It was closed. No cheesesteak for me. And I was really really sad.

I like the below items:

EPCOT
the land
Mission Sinese
foodcourts
sandwhiches that are meatless
free gingerale at club cool
and

finally

buying coke at WDW for a solid week when I am a pepsi lover.


we all need to get over it some time. KWIM?

I'm in Alabama on business and I found this overwhelming urge to say

Roll Tide!!!

Maybe while I'm here, someone can finally explain why in the world the tide in Alabama is crimson. And why it rolling is such a good thing.
