In the red corner, hailing from Section 8, he was disqualified from the poll because his report was incomplete, the epitome of evil, Emperor Zurg!

LT Hambone - have you received your cease and desist order from Michael Buffer yet or the $200K lawsuit?

 

[lmhall2000]

Can we have Zurg's wife step in and pinch hit for Zurg?? You "guys" are complaining about injustices when there wasn't even a lady in the top three!! Some of the best writers are women Pearl S. Buck, Charlotte Bronte, Margaret Mitchell, and you can't make a list without Danielle Steele....so come on- let's get some women in here!! And give these "guys" something to complain about!!!

Come on Zurg's wife!!

Hey now! I didn’t mention any names! You’re going to get me in trouble now! Besides, it was a toss-up between either him or Mills Lane!

I must defend this one – if you take a look at the original post, you will notice that no one nominated a single trip report written by a woman! There was no injustice done (except to joedisney apparently) since no one (including the ladies out there) nominated a female-authored Trip Report. And besides, you left out two of the best authors – Jane Austin and J K Rowling!

Let’s get it on!

(oops, apologies to luvpooh)

New addition to the Tale of the Tape -

Grammar Skills
joedisney - Meticulous, knows how to use a spell checker (a result of being an engineer)
Zurg - Can't even spell the word "Evil"
Advantage - Zurg, because sometimes misspellings change the entire meaning of a sentence!


Oh, I can't wait for the trip reports.......

 

[MScott1851]

I agree with above poster... What about the ladies?!? In fact, most of the trip reports I read are put out there by my fellow females. We are severely underestimated in our ability to both entertain and inform on these boards...and I'll not stand for it!

So, ladies, unite! We must strike a mighty blow against this injustice!

I'll put my trip reports up against any man's, any day...



(Oops.. Guess I really have to dazzle when I come back after next week. Last year's reports might not be up to snuff when it comes to a cut-throat competitor like Joe! Especially since I don't have a pooping octopus in my repertoire)

 

[scarlett873]

can't wait for this match up...

 

[tmq2766]

Lets get em girls..... Boys have cooties.......

ROFLOL
Guilty as charged.

 

[lmhall2000]

Our trip is just 11 days away! Gotta get out my thesaurus- and although I don't have a defecating sea animal- I do have three children that more than make up for that!

Let's get 'em gals!! Zurg and Joe will have to meet at the OK Corral to duke their challenges out- we'll take the MGM backlot!

But at the very least- have a great trip worth writing about everyone!!

Arrrr, me wants in on this, but first me needs to have a sponsor (or victim) pay me way back to the World. Any takers?

darrrrrren

 

[Growin'upDisney]

are you planning on being there? My family will be there from the 24-31. I just want to know that if we run across your family we can follow you for a while and surely be entertained (and find some magic along the way) Also I want to make sure I keep track of all our undies

I can hardly wait until January both for our trip and to read your trip report shortly thereafter!!
