The happyhaunts Ride Again... a 2nd Endlessly Tedious TR! (NEW pg 6)!!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

still lovin' it!!

 

[honeybee213]

or letting him take a drill, on the slowest speed, to his own toenail when he jammed it playing basketball and had to relieve the pressure build-up. In fact, that was WAY COOL. To watch.


OK, I'm a PA, and that's even beyond my own attempts at surgery.

I'm so glad we get to read another of your trip reports. You bought cheese in Buffalo but nothing with Sabres on it? And did you attempt to find Chili's again this year?

 

[MommyPoppins]

Your writing has even gotten better since last TR. I laughed through the entire thing! So glad I'm here alone!

Now get writing! I can't WAIT to hear the next installment!

 

[SandraVB79]

Thank God you had already the suitcases in storage. In October, I started with having to buy new suitcases. Since i'm your rich, snobbish, luxury-loving European DISfriend, I only travel with samsonite.

WHAM, half a fortune spent on a suitcase and a carry-on. I spent the other half fortune on a new bathing suit (although I would never wear one in public) and new clothes, because NO WAY I show up at Disney in clothes I already wore at Disney.

Don't even make me think about the other fortune I'm going to spend tomorrow at the hairdresser... But, since i'm Europe's Paris Hilton, that shouldn't be a problem

 

[RNLUVSDISNEY]

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!! Mel is back!!!!! The Happy Haunts went back to "the world". I am so excited. How sick is that, that I am excited when the haunts go to the dis?? Could we all contribute to make sure that they keep going, so that Mel keeps writing???



(Only 20 days until we go )

 

[Chapter 11]

I spent the other half fortune on a new bathing suit (although I would never wear one in public)

So then you go to the swimming pool and/or beach sans bathing suit? You crazy Belgians and your European ways ...

 

[SandraVB79]

So then you go to the swimming pool and/or beach sans bathing suit? You crazy Belgians and your European ways ...

I could do that in case I went to the beach or the pool... but I stay away from there. So, sans bathing suit only happens in some people's dreams... or worst nightmares, whatever you choose!

 

[tribus121]

I can only hope that our upcoming trip will be as interisting as yours

 

[fizz13]

Calvin and birth control? This is going to be good, I shall watch and learn from the master parent for when it is my time (he he)

BTW, your British answer was so complete in its knowledge I now genuinely belive you love us zitty pastie monsters on this side of the pond. And I don't know one person that actually has tried a jellied eel , certainly not me. As a reward I am willing to send you a box full of cadbury goodness free of charge, just PM me your details. You need to try all the types of stuffed Dairy Milk they are producing, biscuit and raisin, caramel, turkish delight, choc orange, choc mint....you get the idea, all coated in lovely cadbury chocolate. I could just send flakes if preferred, either way I'm seriously thinking about bringing a case of it with me in August and undercutting Epcot in a big way, it might just pay for my Poly stay Catch ya later xx

Allow me now to describe for you the many phases of nausea I experienced while reading this most recent update of your so-called trip report. The horror began for me when I logged onto the Trip Report board and noticed you had an "update." An actual update you understand and not more of your mindless rambling about how you love the Brits when we all know how you really feel. For crying out loud, Mel, you had t-shirts made! And by the way, don't presume to speak for me anymore. You don't know how I really feel towards the Royal Family. Those records are permanently sealed and I won't have you spreading any more scurrilous rumors about me, my family or my dog. He's suffered enough. That's one surgery you don't come back from.

Against my better judgment, I actually start reading your recent "update." Silly me. I thought there might be news of a Disney vacation. Alas, it's toenails and vomit, ham sandwiches and vomit, bowel problems and institutions for the incontinent. I'm not against it, by the way. I'm not pro-incontinent. It's just, well, I'm trying to live a life here. I come to these boards for something which occasionally passes for entertainment and instead I'm reading about puke and poop and ham sandwiches. Ham?! What are you, 12?! No one eats ham anymore. Shudder.

Pray tell, kind lady, did you even go to Disney World? Or is this all some pathetic attempt to reach out for the attention of hapless losers who sit hunched over our keyboards, munching multi-colored Goldfish crackers and drinking Diet Pepsi while we study the Disboards for moral guidance on the oh-so-important question of whether re-using a refillable mug is akin to starting a land war in Asia (or the Persian Gulf if you prefer). I know of three people who were in Disney World the same time you were there and exactly NONE of them saw you. I don't believe you even took another trip. At this point, I'm questioning whether you even exist in real life, but I reckon that's the subject for another post.

Thanks for allowing me to revisit my late-afternoon snack. The Goldfish are even more colorful the second time around.

OMG ZZUB, my spleen just functioned.

Mmmmm. Ham sandwiches, toenails and vomit. Keyboard!

Melly Mel Mel, how long were you in Disneyworld? 10 days? So we can safely assume at this rate, we will be enjoying Mel's Musings for what, like the next 9 months?

Rock on Sista.

 

[J and R's mom]

I LOVE this TR! I get to laugh at Mel's antics and laugh again when I read Zzub's responses. This is just TOO good!

Oh my Gosh. I'm gonna need a blood transfusion. Multi colored goldfish, we have a buttload of those. Remember Mellyman doesn't want Mel posting pics on the web. I think he would have freaked having a bunch of strangers come up to him and addressing him as Mr. Happyhaunts.

Holy cheese and crackers, LaLa save me a keyboard.



Tina, you fat lard, come and get your ham sandwich!!!

Carter/Mondale????? Are you MAD, man? The van is WAY OLDER than that.
Way. The sticker actually says "Buchanan/Breckinridge". Go put your reading glasses on... you difficult, crusty 'ol geezer!!!! No offense intended. To the geezers out there.

What a lovely morning welcome to the Disboards, though. I just gotta say.

I have three points of rebuttal for you. I feel the need to respond to your bluster. I do.

Firstly: YES. We DID, in fact, get to Disney. Geez. We spent 10 days in total there, ZZUB. TEN. TEN. TEN, BABY!!!! (not thirty... if you're adding. Or fourty... if you are really a stickler.) Anywho... that leads me to this point: I'm very glad that you are so Pro-incontinance. Because by the time I finish this little trippy here... you'll be setting yourself on fire for ME... in the HOME wearing your Depends. Get used to the fact that we're gonna be spending a very long time together. My weak-stomached, crotchety attorney friend.

Secondly: What do you have against that original lunch standby we call a "ham and cheese"? Gosh. Everyone likes ham and cheese. EVERYONE. Even Lil' Grumpy. I think he said so. Somehow. Somewhere. I had one yesterday and, in fact, two AMAZINGLY good ones on our trip to THE WORLD. One was in France. In the greatest of all parks named EPCOT. It was SO delicious that it made me want to don a beret, chainsmoke like the dickens, raise the Tricolor, visit French Polynesia, finally laugh at Jerry Lewis' antics and catch me a Sharon Stone flick. But NOT Basic Instinct 2. Uggghhhh. Yes... I wanted to do all of those questionable things. Not necessarily in that order. Ok. Or... AT ALL. Anyhow. What are YOU? Too good for a freakin' ham and cheese sandwich? Gosh. Gosh... goshy gosh gosh.

Thirdly... you are SO funny. You rock. Reading that made me giggle... then laugh... then roar. So hard that I severed my achilles tendon. Somehow. Ouch. At least I don't need that Prozac anymore. Geez. Between the highs and lows that you and Chappie are inducing in me I DO, in fact, need a dose of Gravol. And a seatbelt. For my deskchair.

So... thanks. For staying home and eating all the freakin' Goldfish, ZZUB. Heh, heh.

Later, Mel.

 

[PaulDavid's mom]

I don't know what's funnier - you're TR or ZZUB's commentary on your TR. Glad you are dragging things out - it's better that way.

Should I feel like a girly-girl slacko because a trip to Disney makes me look forward to dressing down in Old Navy t-shirts and my running shoes? I do make sure I have a fresh manicure and pedicure. Actually at the salon - scrubbing the polish off my skin while showering takes too much time. Mel, sometimes TIME is more valuable than MONEY. Just a thought.

Enjoying the report and shamelessly begging for a summer trip for our family. It's not looking good, though. So I'll live vicariously through you. Keep it coming.

Hi Mel,

I have a Public Service Announcement to make.

Would everyone please refrain from using the term "riding Gary Sinise" in any posts on these boards. Even though almost everyone knows that this is just a reference to riding Mission:Space it has come to my attention that this term can be misinterpreted in a way that violates the forum rules.

Since we all love reading Mel's trip reports we do not want to do anything that may cause this thread, or other threads, to be locked.

Thanks for your cooperation

 

[Grammyof2]

Geez - I am so late but I have been mute lately.

Just kicking back - Went out and grabbed some used gum from the carseat, got a fry from under the floor mats, found an old Yoo Hoo under the seat, and picked up the sofa cushion to find some Goldfish (just the yellow/orangey ones). After that snack went out to the old cooler from last summer and found a yummy, moldy ham & cheese with mustard. Ready for the next installment.

Take your time though, I haven't cleaned in forever, so there is plenty to snack on.

Mel

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

And then we went to Disney and had a great time and came home.

I recommend the trip to everyone.

The END.

It's been fun.


Cheers, Mel.
