DIS Dads The DIS Dad's Club IV - Man Laws & Cheese Balls

[ClearScreen]

Good job in keeping your cool. Really, some people just have no clue or don't even give a hoot how their actions affects others. I'm not sure I would have been so calm at the end ... when she looked... that would have really torqued my bolts!

Thanks for the review. Not sure if we'll get to this movie while it's in the theater.

THanks - keeping my cool was not easy.

I guess I should give a little more detail on the review. The movie was very funny. My 5-year old son gave it a thumbs up and he is a little quirky about movies. He particularly liked the clever use of the word "poop" and the multiple characters getting smacked in the face. He's a Three Stooges fan at heart. My 8-year old daughter thought it was very funny and sweet. Good use of 3D in this one and lots of jokes that adults get but go way over the heads of kids.

Hi guys,

I'm back...

Very, very very tired.....

Going to bed, catch up tomorrow...

Welcome back! Did ya pick up a souvenir t-shirt at the gift shop?

I went with the wife and kids to see Despicable Me yesterday, in 3D, at the 5:25pm show by us. It was great - we all loved it. Highly recommended.

It almost started out badly. Here is what happened. We are the first to arrive and sit in the theater about 15 minutes before showtime. About 4-5 other families arrive and sit throughout the theater. Five minutes before the previews start, a mother and her son come in and sit in the row directly in front of me and my daughter and, basically block my view (she was tall) and obstruct my daughter's view. The theatre was just about empty - everyone else was sitting in their own row at least 2-3 rows away from every other group. No more than 20 people in this theatre that sits 500+ people with a center aisle and seating on the left and right. After I finish looking around for Allen Funt or Ashton Kutcher to make sure this is not a joke, I start getting really annoyed. I can see the other people in the theatre shaking their heads and laughing at what just happened because they all were watching this unfold. My wife sees my face and tells me not to say anything, but she knows I'm steaming. My daughter is now fidgeting in her seat because she can't see and I start muttering about manners and being considerate, etc.

Finally, after a minute or so, I tell my family, LOUDLY, that we are moving seats. My wife asks where and I say to the row in front of these people who just sat down. She pleads with me to not make a scene, so I acquiesce because she was right and I wanted to enjoy the movie with the kids. So the four of us moved to the row behind us leaving two rows in between. I knew it was bad then, because my wife started muttering out loud about manners and she avoids confrontation at all costs. Anyway, nobody else came into the theatre and we had a great time. As she was leaving, this woman was giving me a look. I glared at her and my face said "Please say something to me." - she walked away without saying a word.

I could understand if the movie was crowded, but this was just ridiculous. It's like when a stranger stands directly next to you at the urinal when there are 5 other open urinals. There is just a certain etiquette.

Anyway, at least she wasn't wearing a sombrero and the movie was great.

I managed a movie theater when I was just out of school, i've seen fist fights break out over this. Funniest thing I ever saw was at the opening night of The Doors. It was a 50/50 mix of former hippies and 18 y/o hippie wannabes. The young kids were yelling crap at the screen all through the movie. The lights come up at the end and this guy in his 40's taps the kid in front of him on the shoulder, says "you really need to learn how to behave in public", then hauls off and nails the kid, turns around, and walks out like nothing happened.

Rafiki looks like we are going to see you there or just miss you. We arrive on the 11th of Dec and leave on the 18th staying at Port Orleans Riverside.

I pushed my flight out back to the 12th, so now I have the entire 11th open. What to do, what to do?

hah, I wish...Camp Bucca Pizza Hut...oh well

Ugh. Pizza Hut? I'm pretty sure we feed the "enemy combatants" that we're holding better stuff than that greasy swill. Still, it's probably better than a camel burger, huh?
Glad you made it back safe!

Cool! I love that coaster. It’s interesting to see it with the lights on, but it’s still more fun in the dark. It’s the same as with Space Mountain; the disorientation is half the fun.

Hi guys,

I'm back...

Very, very very tired.....

Going to bed, catch up tomorrow...

Glad to here that you’re back “down south”. Welcome back

Our Navy son received his official orders today: he is now a U.S. Navy Blue Angels Selectee!!!!

He will be finishing up his duty at NAF Washington, DC, on September 30th and reporting to Pensacola soon after! This will be a 3-year tour and he will begin training as a Crew Chief for one of the 7 show jets shortly after his arrival and indoctrination. He will be traveling to approximately 1/2 of the Blue Jets' 36 air shows per year. CONGRATULATIONS, SON! Do I sound like one proud father?!?!?

On Vacation...just poked my head in to see whats up....this is sooo cool I know this is what you and your son were praying for...cool

I'm glad to see a great review on this movie from you and AJ. I've been wanting to see it since I saw the preview at TS3 with the fart gun thing, and now with the word poop involved, I can't wait to see it

I see I'm not the only one who gets the tallest person in the world in front of us. Not at the movies but we had this guy at a Billy Joel concert in front of us that had to be 6ft 6 and wearing a cowboy hat We were in the 6th row. The only thing that saved us was that we had end seats and moved into the aisle a bit since no one was sitting.

Been away for a while but life does it to you sometimes. No way I can catch up so I am starting from the last few pages.

dvczerfs, thanks for the videos, way cool. Also I am glad your better half is doing well. Good thoughts are still being sent your way. MiJo, congrats on your son on getting his new assignment. Terrific team. Fed, welcome home and thanks. And welcome to all the new DDC members.

I also have to brag a bit. My daughter just got the results from her AP tests and she was 3 for 3. I came home and she shoved this paper in my face and was jumping up and down yelling "I passed them. Even European History." We had a celebration dinner out tonight.

Hope everyone is doing well and I hope to contribute more soon.

Just booked our flight to Orlando in October! $138.00 per person round trip on Delta.

 

[DisneyFed]

Wow, I slept till 0930 this morning...something about 8 hours of sleep for the entire week must've worn me down...:lmao

Yes, it was 131 degrees yesterday....it's 134 today...the heat is overrunning the A/C's (window units) in the office...so it's only like 88-90 in here, but it "feels" cool. Funny how perspective changes....the C 130 we were on yesterday was the hottest I have been in 5 trips out here. August is going to be fun

I was in meetings from the time I landed to just before I took off...

I'm glad I'm here though, but I did learn at least one lesson:

If you happen to be near the "clearing barrels" at the chow hall (where people who aren't authorized--we are--to be locked and loaded at all times have to "clear" their weaons before they go in), and you notice a soldier getting ready to clear his weapon with the magazine still in and his finger in the trigger guard as he's manipulating the slide (which means it's getting ready to go bang). Get ready for the mayhem that follows someone shooting into said barrel...oh, and uh, saying something like "Yup, it works" is generally not taken well by the offender when he's a Colonel

He wanted to say something to me, but he was too flustered and the MP's were already arriving to "see what was going on" He asked me if I had something to say, and I told him "Yeah, that was &*^%&!@ stupid" and walked off. Then I heard, "I suppose he's never done that..". Of course I couldn't let it go and said to one of the MP's.."18 years of Law Enforcement, and nope, never done that"...The poor MP's were getting an ear full all because he screwed up

I got some work done there, but am very glad to be back....man, there were people in suits and ties, women in high heels. Never seen that out here, but then again I've always been in the countryside...I won't be recommending Baghdad on Trip Advisor any time soon

Anyway, updates:

Mijo: Congrats Man!!!!! Something told me I was pretty sure he made it..think I heard it somewhere

Zerf: Good News man!!!

Emma's Dad: Sorry dude, no sympathy for the heat.

It's Disney: I'm going with Barry...Ummm...wow, uhh...daaang...


New Dad's....WELCOME...here's the Dancing Federalies...who have already been around to welcome you, but never miss a chance to show off...

I've always wondered how often one of those barrels has to catch a bullet.

Happy 55th Disneyland!
