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

[GreatBiscuit]

I have no clue what your screename stands for but it cracks me up.

Interesting story, that. After I got saved, I found that I needed to update certain portions of my vocabulary which were no longer conducive to my walk with Christ. One day while working in the campus TV studio, I managed to injure myself, and after emitting a series of grunts and harrangs while filtering my options for an appropriate expression of pain, I finally blurted GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT BISCUIT! After much jocularity ensued among my fellow techies, it then became my nickname from that day forward.

 

[Frickles]

I'm so confused by your weird edit posts. Speak English man!

Let me translate it for you Crazy Kanga. I've known Zzub for awhile now and I think I can help you out.

"Kanga: we're eating at CMs the first night. Kanga: we will be eating at Casa Mexicanas in the great Pacific Northwest on your first nightLook for us. I will scream like a little girl and hide in the Chef Mickey's cool bathroom for two days if I think a Disser is looking for me and my Bingo! shirt at Disney. I'm the guy with the monster sized guns. I am entering the early stages of dementia"

GreatBiscuit I LOVE your story on how you got your screen name!


LaLa! You crack me up more than you can ever know.

Zzub, you know my Mr. Frick is about to play in a golf tourny on a team with some old Bama quarterback who was apparently really good and cute because he is about to marry Sara Evans, the country singer. Talk about one excited fella.

You know I don't fault someone not wanting to wait on a family dislodging their kids; it was THE WAY they did it. So completely annoyed. Like we were the first people with kids in a stroller.

Completely agree

I myself have been know to let the occasional Son of a Biscuit-eater fly from my mouth.

Back to the TR...

Right back atcha, girl. Because THIS....

is the ballgame!!!

I doubled over in my chair and did the silent laugh on my deskes. Frick's bringin' the funny. But I think instead of Casa Mexicanas, it'll probably be Dairy Queen instead. As long as they're serving up some type of pie/milkshake concoction. With Cool Whip on top. I think we all know why.

Mikymouse, glad I could make you spit coffee on your monitor. I don't know who the cool kids are, but I'm pretty sure Mel is probably off pulling some pretty good April Fools Day jokes on everyone in her life. Stuff that most likely involves a huge wheel of brie. Oysters. A heating vent. And a great big ax.

It's ridiculous how excited I am that you've put me on ignore. It's like, when Zzub puts you on ignore you've FINALLY arrived. So please don't mind me while I happy dance.....

Hi LaLa!!!!

Hi Enchanted! Nice to meet you. But just so you know, it ain't all it's cracked up to be. There's the constant insults, the patronizing tone (hard to read on a message board, true, but it's there), the smells, not to mention the sound of silence. Personally, I'd rather be at Dairy Queen wearin' a Bingo shirt and curlin' a 5 lb. pie milkshake.

Speaking of ZZUB.

I would quote his last comment but it appears he's worked himself onto my Ignore list. Again. Welcome home, chump.

Heh.
Now that is funny.

Foolish waste of time. Everything you need to know in life you learned in Kindergarten.

Everything I need to know in life, I learned from my dog. Including

a. greeting everyone I meet affectionately - nocoldnoseinthecrotch.
b. taking responsibility for my mistakes - after being pulled out from under the bed.
c. A kiss does not count unless it is wet and sloppy.

There are so many other things my little dog - Trouble - taught me. I miss her.

 

[Brenle]

Did enjoy your report. The more I read, the more you reminded me of an atty. in the NE. Same vocab. and subtle sarcasm.

 

[Montana Disney Fan]

I think Enchanted beat me on longest reply. I'll give my prize back.

The whole ZZUB house is sick. Worst ever! I'm never sick. NEVER. Haven't taken a sick day since I don't know when. But good night nurse, this stomach virus of death has moved through our house with a wicked vengence. I'm glad to be back in my office. And friends, that's saying something.

After I got saved, I found that I needed to update certain portions of my vocabulary which were no longer conducive to my walk with Christ.

Love the story. My go-to word for similar situations is "cuss." But it never stuck as a nickname. Which is sad, b/c the things that did stick as a nickname weren't as nice.

I've known Zzub for awhile now and I think I can help you out.

I think that's streching the truth just a bit. Even for a math-impaired, directionally challenged girl who lives in Alabama but denies it until this very day.

Zzub, you know my Mr. Frick is about to play in a golf tourny on a team with some old Bama quarterback who was apparently really good and cute because he is about to marry Sara Evans, the country singer. Talk about one excited fella.

First of all, how could I know that your husband is playing golf with Jay Barker? Although your husband and I are both alumni of the greatest football playing school in the country, we don't actually know each other. Hard to believe, I know. Secondly, Jay Barker may be the winningest QB in Alabama history, but few Tide Fans, if any, would call him "really good." He managed to play at Bama when our defense was phenomenal. He was good at not losing. Nevertheless, Jay Barker was a stand up guy when I knew him. His testimony and his faith were impressive.

But just so you know, it ain't all it's cracked up to be. There's the constant insults, the patronizing tone (hard to read on a message board, true, but it's there), the smells, not to mention the sound of silence. Personally, I'd rather be at Dairy Queen wearin' a Bingo shirt and curlin' a 5 lb. pie milkshake.

Ditto. That bit about the patronizing tone made me laugh. That's funny stuff. Who'd you steal it from?

Everything I need to know in life, I learned from my dog.

Troubling. If I learned stuff from the Schpup!, I'd never speak pwopewly. And I'd have a bad attitude. NOSchpup!

Man, I'm gullible. I keep falling for it. Dumb blonde moment #450,175

Falling for what? We'll be in MK on our first day, the EPCOT, EPCOT, AK, Resort Day, MGM, MK. Hopefully we'll run into you.

Pity that Enchanted beat out MDF on the longest response post. Turns out the prize is a year's supply of Rogaine.

 

[Crazy Kanga]

I refuse to fall for it again. Even if I did think for one minute you were going in May without the lure of free dining, I will NOT be looking for you. As if I would even know how to begin to spot you. The lily white hairy legs alone are not enough of a clue.
And by the way, you know exactly where we are staying, it's in my signature.

 

[praisehisname]

Hey ZZUB! I started reading your report way back in September when it began, but then I took a self-imposed break from the boards. I had a rough week and needed something to make me laugh. Your report was one of the first things I thought of. I'm so glad to be caught up again.

I hope you and your family are feeling better soon!

We disdain Animal Kingdom almost as much as The Disney Studios starring The Guy From Love Boat. So we didn't plan to be there at rope drop. We planned to be there whenever we got there.

Why even go at all? I'm saddened by your disdain. We LOVE us some AK. Of course, that's ONLY because of EE. In fact, we don't even bother with the safari anymore. While it's a cool ride, it's a LONG butt walk from Asia to Africa. One that the NMs do not deem worthy.

Kinda like the Happyhaunts getting stuck in Frontierland (Hi Mel!), the NMs get stuck in Asia.

Animal Kingdom is, by far, the hottest park in the world.

But I'll give you this. You're right. It's hot as a lit match in there.

I probably would have enjoyed my food if I wasn’t sweating like a Democratic pollster on the day after the Jeremiah Wright story broke. There wasn’t a scrap of air conditioning to be had. I understand AK is striving to give an authentic experience. But, and I say this as someone who has not yet visited the African continent, I’m fairly certain they ain’t serving Memphis style ribs and key lime pie out in the bush. So as long as we’re not being entirely authentic, maybe we can more generously sprinkle the a/c around.

Agreed. We love Flame Tree. Because we're rednecks from Georgia who think it's cool as all get out to eat BBQ in Animal Kingdom. Go figure.

But it IS hot. Did you try the seating down by the water? It's bearable down there. Plus, you get a great view of EE.

In my head, I knew what began as our daughters talking in line would end in a pitch to join some multi-level marketing scheme, and I'd find myself at the next Amway/Quickstar/Herbalife/Calling Card convention in Denver. And I knew this much: at the first sign of a “Lose weight now. Ask me how” pin, I was out of there.

This killed me DED.

There was another family in the BCC. They didn’t appear to have a baby as much as they had little kids. And a meal which required microwaving. Because the BCC has a microwave. Once the mom finished heating up their food, she plated it and served her family. And they sat and watched the Disney movie on the TV.

Seriously?

The NMs have never been above bringing a back pack full of PBJs for some inexpensive park food, in the days before Free Dining, of course, but this takes the cake. What would you want to microwave on a day that's hotter than the sun? Soup? Beef stew? Hot chocolate? I'm nauseous just thinking about it.

Except ZZUBY. The performer with her held her back at the edge of the stage. Timon told all the kids they did a great job. And then bending down towards ZZUBY he said, “Except for you. YOU were perfect!” and he shook her hand.

That's precious. Those little moments are big deals, aren't they? We love the Lion King show, as well. Primarily for the good show, but also for the AC.

ZZUB, this was a great installment. You really brought the funny this time...I laughed out loud SEVERAL times. Thanks again for sharing your tale with us. It always makes a great read. Hope you and your crew are feeling better soon.

Welcome back, Praise. Glad my silly little musings made you laugh in the midst of a rough week. I really dig your screename. I assume the "His" you are praising is the same Him who is referenced throughout my Trip Report. Your screename edifies me.

Along time ago, I announced that Ashclan was my favorite screename. I don't know Ashclan personally, although we trade posts on here. From what I can tell about her, despite her left-leaning (read: completely looney) politics, she's good people. But that's not why I like her screename. I just liked the way Ashclan sounded in my head whenever I saw it on the Disboards.

But I think your screename is really cool. So I now officially have two favorite screenames. For whatever it's worth. Which is about what you paid to read this.

Why even go at all?

We could ask you the same thing. You apparently go for one ride.

What would you want to microwave on a day that's hotter than the sun? Soup? Beef stew? Hot chocolate? I'm nauseous just thinking about it.

It occurs to me it was greenbeans and maybe some rice. I don't recall seeing any meat. The only food the ZZUBs walk around with is food that you can eat on the fly, nothing you need to keep cold or heat up: pop tarts, bagels, crab legs. A nice bisque. But like I wrote earlier, it's not our style to pack in a full meal and microwave it. I wrote about it b/c I think that info might be useful for other families.

I miss Mel HappyHat. I hope she's doing well. Some of her fans would like to hear from her. Not me of course. I never found her writing to be all that good.

I'll keep an eye out for a pale hairy legged man wearing a Vote for Pedro T-shirt and a Bama ball cap!

I take issue with your description. My legs aint pale. They might not be as tanned as those of you who live on the right side of the country. But no one has been blinded by legs. They might look more pale in that picture b/c of the flash.

Speaking of the right side of the country, why does a Bama boy want to live in the cold and damp Pacific Northwest anyway. Too far from Bama football games, WDW, sweet tea, BBQ, etc...

It absolutely does refer to Jesus--there is no other name worth praising!

Wow! I feel like one of the "in" crowd now!
