The DW and I were discussing what the best treats in WDW are. I love the German Roasted Almonds at the entrance of World Showcase. Especially while watching the fireworks.
I thought about this more as I walked to lunch. I'm pretty sure there's a placebo effect with this. You could have just said yes, and I would have returned from my next trip happy with the completely misguided belief that it had made my trip better. It seems like thats how the fastpass system now works.
Let's see:
1. Yup.
2. Nope---get you in bad trouble
3. Yup--insert "again" after car...
4. Yup...as I was following behind him, while he was running on foot on a control access interstate (read--20 foot high walls preventing actual escape from the roadway), while I was seated in my driver's seat, driving along, drinking a cup of coffee while talking to him on the PA---yeah, he was drunk
5. Nope.
6. Yup...went over real well too
7. Yup...also went over well.
8. Yup.
9. No...but I sure should have
10. Yup...with varying fair descriptors depending on what kind of mood I was in.
11. Yup. Cept it was steak knives...(she got em' too..
--I keed I keed)
12. Oh yeah...still use that one.
13. Sort of...usually more like "must've been one heckuva beer"--usually answered by "yes sir it was"
14. Yup.
15. Not that one, but I have had someone swear up and down that if I just called "Michael Lake" over the radio he would come right over and clear this up. (In fairness, this did happen while I was a Detective and didn't have a name plate on
)
16. No way no how...that one's a sure fire way to get jammed on...but I'd love to hear someone use it![]()
Wow. Get busy at work for a day or two and you miss all the fun.
In light of all the comments about cars, speeding, etc. I thought I would share an E-Mail I recently received.
These are supposedly actual comments made by Troopers that were taken off their car videos:
1. "You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through."
2. "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch after you wear them a while."
3. "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."
4. "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."
5. "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you."
6. "You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?"
7. "Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?"
8. "Warning! You want a warning? O.K, I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."
9. "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"
10. "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey poop."
11. "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."
12. "In God we trust; all others we run through NCIC." ( National Crime Information Center )
13. "Just how big were those 'two beers' you say you had?"
14. "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can."
15. "I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail."
AND THE WINNER IS....
16. "You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't. Sign here."

DO Grand Marnier Slushies count as treats? Dole whip floats would also get a vote.
I never undertsood the allure for smoked turkey legs, but they sure are popular. To me, they're kind of gross. I've had them once and that was enough.

I'm pretty sure that if you listen very carefully you can hear the wheels of commerce grinding to a halt.

I'm pretty sure we made the Dole Whip the Official Snack of the DIS Dads Club © somewhere along the line.
Good point, we were trying to go the inexpensive route though.
And by the way, nice write up over on the DIS Dads website.

When we were down for Food and Wine, I went into the new Karamel Küche in the Germany Pavilion. I tried the caramel popcorn. For the rest of the trip, I continued trying the caramel popcorn. It is to Cracker Jacks as the filet at Le Cellier is to beef jerky.![]()
Maybe I should accuse Don of trying to up his post count here too....Ok here it is. As I have been accusedby Tim of posting here to drive up my post count here on the DDC
