The Battle For My Wallet V: Beyond the Number IV (Chapter Eighteen, p.75, 5/18)

[LaLa]

Call me Joey Tribbiani if you must, but if they sold a bucket of skins, I'd be all over that.

I think I'll stick with calling you George Constanza if it's all the same to you. Unless your next installment waxes nostalgic about the big bar of Toblerone at the airport. And jam. And then I might consider the Joey thing. As long as you throw in a hefty gift card to the store of my choice. Or a free trip to the salad bar at Sonny's. Either one. I'm not picky.

Judging by the smell of things, I'm guessing LaLa has been here. Oh look it! She's right there. P-U! Hey LaLa! Welcome back. When are you going to start writing about your last trip to Disney World? Some people (not me) might want to read about it.

Get your laptop out of the bathroom already, ZZUB. That might help with the smell. And you're right. We did take another trip to Disneyworld. I'm surprised you remembered. Considering the fact that you can barely remember how many monorails are running in Disneyworld at any given time. Or that your digestive system doesn't respond well to ginger. Or how to correctly spell the word "dining". I haven't decided for sure whether I'm throwing my hat into the Trip Report Ring for the third time in a row yet, but if I do, you'll be the first one to know, my friend.

Or will you?!

Whatitdo Lakisha! I think now would be a perfect time for you to post that picture of you loving on your big tub of kfc!

DED! Frick! You were supposed to keep that on the down low, sista!

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Hee-haw

A real Suthurn hootenanny!

And I was under the impression this was a trip report. Or was I? Hi Lala!

Y'all are makin this Canukian Boat person hungry. Especially since we only have regular skin, no extra crispy up here. Maybe that's where Mel is - working on extra crispy for the good of Canadiankind.

Who's Zzub?

 

[pongoperdigirl]

Hey LA2!

 

[ZZUB]

Pongo! is in the house! Not since Crush talked to me have I felt so cool. Which is said.

I'm not satisifed that I have an accurate reporting on UKWildcat's whereabouts, but I have another "Where are they now?" Does anybody know where GeorgiaAristocat has been hiding? I haven't seen her around here in a long time.

And OhMari, I noticed in your signature that you've got another trip planned. I was happy to see that. I know you waited a long time to get to go on this last trip, so I'm glad you're getting to go again so soon.

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Zzub - go to bed - it's late!

Or were you up changing the wee one?

I'll send out the bat signal for GA.

 

[flafan]

If I were a fan of FlavorFav I would be Flavfan. We are on the disboards, Orlando, FLoridA. FLA

Could have used O R I D A but peeps could have confused that with potatoes and I make real mashed not that processed junk. though the frozen products are OK

Anywho - Rock on

 

[alldiz]

Great chapter ZZUB.....

Funny how kids can snap ya right back into the present.
I feel your pain about the attitude of CM's lately....I'm reading about it
more and more....So afraid my favorite place on earth.....will deteriorate
so much that it will lose the allure.

I also savor the moment when I wake up in WDW...
BTW....how do you NOT bring coffee with you.....and drink the brown water.

[CJsMom]

Umm, what's a "hootenanny"?

ZZUB - great chapter as usual!

 

[samc]

Let's go over this once again. I do not live in Alabama.

easy Frick !!!!!

 

[GeorgiaAristocat]

I'm here to say hello and how are you to my lawyerbuddywhoIwouldn'tknowifImethimonMainStreetUSA.

I have been hiding out. I don't think I've darkened the DIS doors in several months. Obviously, I am illin. or ailing. or something.

I was waiting until you finished your tripe report so that I could read the whole thing in one gloriously painful sitting. 'kay? I'm busy. At work. PLUS, I got to spend a little quality holiday time with the mouse. And my kids need a buttload of money to buy stuff on Webkinz. I'm BUSY.

Is this thing almost done yet? I'm tired of waiting. I guess I will start at the beginning and check. sigh. (having checked, I will note that the link from Chapter Seven to Chapter Eight is not working. Just thought you'd want to know.) (also having checked, I will note that you are only ON Chapter Nine. I believe that I can draw on past experience to surmise that the end is not near. No Ice Age. No Apocalypse. No End in sight.)

How are ya Z? Ready to move back south yet? People don't look at you nearly as funny when you yell "Roll Tide" down here. But they do beat you up. So maybe that's not a good idea after all.

 

[ZZUB]

how do you NOT bring coffee with you.....and drink the brown water.

As insane as this sounds, drinking Disney's crappy coffee is a Disney Thing. Like paying too much for stuff. If I had to bring my own coffee and make it, then it would feel like home. Not vacation.

Umm, what's a "hootenanny"?

A party, gathering, ruckus, free-for-all, shindig, shebang. What Christmas Dinner at the HappyHaunt's House must surely be like.

I'm here to say hello and how are you to my lawyerbuddywhoIwouldn'tknowifImethimonMainStreetUSA.

I have a feeling that if I walked up to you on Main Street USA and said, "Hey, GA, I'm ZZUB!" you'd know who I am. But just to make sure no ZZUB impersonators try to fake you out, if I do walk up to you on Main Street and introduce myself, ask me the difference between a number 3 and a number 4. Only ZZUB and ZZUB Family members know the answer to that.

I was waiting until you finished your tripe report

Silly Georgia lawyer! Al Gore will admit that so-called global warming (now conveniently referred to as "global climate change") is not a result of human activity before I finish this. You were foolish to wait for that.

How are ya Z? Ready to move back south yet?

Since about 5 minutes after we moved out here. But this is where the Lord has planted the ZZUBs. We're here until He moves us elsewhere. Good to see you again. Don't be a stranger. Well, let's face it, you ARE a stranger. And maybe even a touch strange. If internet rumors can be believed. And surely they can. Anyway, stop by more often is what I'm saying.

Hey FlaFan, I don't think you're a loser. You shouldn't call yourself the biggest one. Have some self-esteem! We think you're great!

 

[brandt79]

Good gravy - we got ourselves quite the hootenanny - can I say that if I'm from the Midwest?

Last edited by ZZUB : Yesterday at 11:45 PM. Reason: Extra crispy is the grossest thing since whole wheat bagels.

I'm sorry - but this is where you're wrong, counselor. I have no idea why they even MAKE original. With extra crispy, who needs the actual chicken?

 

[AshClan]

We are too busy cheering on our championship teams. Yep, that pretty much takes up most of the year. So, CJ's Mom and I have to be eased into these southern traditions.....(that includes college football, tfi)

Z, your message to the big grin girl has been delivered.

What a fun coupla pages! Is this the new TOOT? Seems to me that we're just a rat's hair away from locking this sucker down Z, great to see a little more of our buddy! Now....who's gonna track down Mel? She should be here for this. La, give her a shout out will ya? Or YAK, get out the megaphone and drive around the neighborhood to tell her that her peeps want to say "Holla" to her.

 

[dismorgh]

Hey, I like that name. I may "borrow" it in a future installment. I didn't complain at the time b/c I wasn't even surprised by it. I've come to expect it. It wasn't until I got back to our room and told my wife that I got annoyed. And by then, I had more important things to do than find out who Carla's manager was.

As you'll see in an upcoming chapter, when something similar happened at EPCOT, I took care of it right then and there.

Now I'm offended that you won't be offended!

Feel free to use the name.

Hmmm, why are you offended? You asked that we not be offended if you didn't give us a call out, and I understand that I don't always have the most enlightening posts, so you may not have anything to answer. Does that make sense?

 

[ZZUB]

I have no idea why they even MAKE original. With extra crispy, who needs the actual chicken?

It's a good thing you like the West Wing, b/c this statement here is the crazy part of your argument. Glad to see you again, Brandt79.

Hmmm, why are you offended?

It was a joke, Dismorgh. Evidently not a very funny one.

 

[samc]

or do they????

Not that there's anything wrong with it and no I'm NOT complaining.....but seriously dude I think someone spiked the yoo-hoo.....I don't remember this many posts from you since......since big grin girl was here!!

Don't stop now....melhappyhaunt hasn't arrived

 

[dismorgh]

It was a joke, Dismorgh. Evidently not a very funny one.

First, call me Kevin. I do not mind people using my given name.

Second, oooops. I was thrown off by the bolding, and thought that you really meant it. My bad.

Oh, and I agree on the coffee, Disney's is bad!

 

[JulieEck]

I'm busy. At work. PLUS, I got to spend a little quality holiday time with the mouse. And my kids need a buttload of money to buy stuff on Webkinz. I'm BUSY.

Hey Georgia! This sounds exactly like my life! The Webkinz thing is pretty cool, but DD5 mostly just wants to shop on it. Which means I spend lots of late evening time answering trivia questions instead of doing important things like DISing... Oh, wait a minute, I should expand on that - doing important things like DISing instead of doing what really needs to be done like housework.

ZZUB, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your trip reports. One of these days when I'm bored at work (when will that ever be???) I'm going to go back and print out your first two trip reports which I haven't had the pleasure of reading yet. You don't have your trip reports in Word by any chance do you? You could just email them to me if you did...

 

[LaLa]

Could have used O R I D A but peeps could have confused that with potatoes ...

..which would have made you a shoo in (whatever THAT means) for the title of ZZUB's favorite screen name.

NOAshclan. Or is it Kimmie?

Who can keep track?

I don't remember this many posts from you since......since big grin girl was here!!

Just between you and me, I think he's trying to shamelessly boost his post count. And in my mind, that's a win-win situation. Because of all the funny. Just call ZZUB butter because he's on a roll. How was that, Frick?

Hey YakkityYak and Ash! And yes, I agree. Melly should be here. I'm thinking the distance is pretty far though and I'm not sure she'd be able to hear me even if I tried to holla. From Mississippi to Canada and all. But maybe Yak could drive around and look for the white van. If that doesn't work, tell her to look in every big bowl of guacamole she can find. That should do the trick.

 

[ZZUB]

One of these days when I'm bored at work . . .

See, if I wrote that sentence it would be, "one of these days when I'm not bored at work . . .

But thank you for reading along. However, If I were you, I would NOT sit by your email box waiting for the MSWord copies of my Trip Reports. Unless someone else has cut and paste them. And then you have to ask yourself, do you really want to accept email from the kind of person who would cut and paste my TRs into Word? No offense, La2.
