The Gulf State Park DISMeet 2017 Thread (aka "The Sequel")

Wholesome and Innocent?

What?

Something I need to know about?

 

[PaHunter]

Excellent! Hopefully this will work out and we'll get to meet you at long last.

Well it is only 1056 miles to GSP, so it is about an hour longer than the trip to Disney will be. Mapquest shows it is over 1000 miles to Disney, but that is with a scenic tour of Savannah GA. Not sure why it routes me off 95 there when the other 2 options don't. And look forward to meeting everyone.

Now hang on a minute, am I to believe that you still have Stacey's number from that goof-up when I left my phone in the truck before the Alabama game? Look man, I told her a while back that under no circumstances was she to believe anything that she hears from the folks on the boards if they are talking about me.

I have Ms. Stacey's cell number! And I think I might send her a text telling her that she needs to check the this DIS and that she needs to keep Michael in line while we're at GSP.

PaHunter, glad y'all booked for 2018, you will be for some good entertainment, Tiggerdad, Bama Ed, Teamubr usually put on a good show!

Wholesome and Innocent?

That was my exact thought. Laying it out there, but I'm not sure anyone is buying.

Just an FYI, on the Fandango app the tickets for Pirates of the Carribean just went on sale. I'm probably going to snag the 7:00 pm time on the regular movie. My youngest hasn't decided she likes 3D movies yet.

Okay so I'm in. What date is that Michael ? Even though we are divorced I'm still trying to maintain friendship with my ex for Emma's benefit so they will probably there this trip.

 

[Flametamr]

Hey BamaEd can you update the first page. I'm in site 222 this year. I will be in 220 next year. Sorry if I got confused.

 

[FtW Mike]

What?

Something I need to know about?

I think Paul was referencing last years record felony count and hints at doing better this year

So, by "doing better", do you mean we should try to break the record?

In all fairness, most were only Class D felonies. And that is just a step above a misdemeanor, right?

So we have a campsite booked for GSP next year. The 25th to the 28th, in spot 24.

Excellent!

Bring your camera...

That's the Memorial Day schedule there Joe.

Got it done, Flametamr. I guess I had water on the brain.

Sounds to me like tiggerdad is trying to make FP+ reservations inside of 30 days with this whole movie thing. Dude, I'm on vacation and I don't want to have to schedule anything beyond the next day. I'll check back with you on this topic in a little over two weeks.

Oh, and I need to gig Kris because she's been nagging on me to sign up for something in the Marathon weekend in our Fort running thread. (nope, still ain't gonna do it ) So here's a little Jimmy song for Kris to unplug from work, put the phone down, and try to relax.

Everybody's On The Phone

PS - I think Jimmy and gang are going to be at the Orange Beach Amphitheater again this year on the weekend most of us are leaving but that is SO last year...

Teamubr always makes me sing alto.

Um, actually I think the whole "Side of Beef" incident at Rouses's might be considered Class C. The others were probably mostly misdemeanors.

Now Flametamr using his cell phone while driving on base in Pensacola would have earned him 3 points. I believe on government property if you get 12 points you lose your driving privilege.

Teamubr avoided the NAS ticket since they turned him away at the gate because he didn't have his passport, so I guess that counts as a warning?

Actually it was more like, "We don't like your kind around here." I said, "Northerners?" The guard said, "No. People with full sets of teeth."

Figuring these weren't the droids we were looking for, we moved along back to GSP.

[garneska]

Totally agree ed, I need to put that phone down. Hoping I can go 4 days without checking work email. Not sure I can do it but will try.

Dogs are slow. Yeti is probably going to be riding around in a wagon. We still have lots to do to get ready, but I am ready to do nothing for a few days.

Dang, he must've been a Mississippian. Sorry dude!

Teamubr I suspect that the following posts may give you an idea of how things might go.. I will be following along to start the Go Fund Me Page for bail donations.

OOOO! ...

There will be no (hopefully) runs to the ED for Tiggerdad. There isn't an ED in Gulf Shores, but there is an urgent care center. I pack my own suture kit, sutures, lidocaine, and syringes so I do my own repair work and will provide the service to others in exchange for adult beverages or food. No autographs please...

We had a blast last year not only in Gulf Shores but in Pensacola at the aviation museum (Watching Flametamr get in trouble at the main gate for his cell phone was priceless and scary at the same time since the same guard gave us the third degree as well). We ate A LOT of food, but man it was so good! Hope we can do a few of those dinners again.

Here is a map of GSP for any who are curious.

Really looking forward to this again this year.

Ed, I've got a little something that I've recently ordered that me and the girls are gonna try out here at the house and if it works out will bring with us to GSP and see if it helps with the puzzle. As I recall last year we did a lot of moving and covering to deal with the rain. Maybe this little idea will help with that. I'll keep ya posted.

Road trip!? Heck yeah man!

If we heading out to Cal we can hit Rocky Mountain, Grand Canyon, and Yosemite National Parks on that one.

Of course, with our track record of accidental law breaking we'd probably only make it about as far as Dallas before the bail money ran out.

Jim,

Last year we seemed to get in more trouble when we avoided the originally planned shenanigans. Such as Randy and I breaking several federal laws with a side of beef and a battery powered reciprocating saw. Who would of thought?

Then there was Joe and the guard at the entrance to NAS Pensacola.

Figured this year it was probably going to be more entertaining to just wait and let Fate take its course.

Hey, cool! You mean I might get ticketed, cuffed, stuffed and arrested by a fellow Diser?

Man, that would be so awesome!

It wasn't meant to be a "Challenge" (or was it?)

Just wish it was a bit closer to me. That's a long trip to make, but it sounds like it could be worth it (for me at least. Not sure about DW and DD.)

Excellent!

Bring your camera...

Bama Ed

So you WANT evidence?

 

[Flametamr]

Michael I'm just wanting to be sure here before I buy the tickets. So you're going to the 7 pm (2d) showing on Monday 5-29-17 at the Wharf ?
