The happyhaunts' Rooms Without a View! Chapter 'o soup ~ Pg.40!

[Kala]

Reportus Interruptus.....

 

[Tanya90210]

Lovin it! D-Cap, gum and all

 

[MissMagnolia]

Okay...so I haven't started reading the report yet, but since I have been away from the DIS since August 2006...I was glad to see you, Me(l) have been busy posting. I just finished the 2nd unfinished report and after getting to pg. 113 with no ending...

I am now back, fast and furiously reading the Disboards because a trip to WDW is now in our future...and I am very happily surprised to get to see WDW through the eyes of the HappyHaunts. Again. So...back to page 1...

 

[Peg In The Pound]

Happy Thanksgiving, HappyHaunts!


October... so weird!
How do you know when to start shopping for Christmas?

 

[MissMagnolia]

Okay...caught up...and incredibly sleep deprived. I have (once again) sat by myself laughing until I was crying at your report. I am so sleep deprived (it is almost 2 a.m.) that I don't think I can intelligently comment on what had me giggling uncontrollably. Thank goodness I finished writing an exam BEFORE I began reading...my students may have had unintelligible questions that may have looked something like:

19. Beth, Calvin, and Tommy were on vacation with their parents in Walt DisneyWorld. Mel, the mother of the three children, rode the monorail by herself to Magic Kingdom. In the past, Mel has cried each and every time she sees the castle upon first visiting Magic Kingdom. Beth, when asked if her Mother cried on THIS particular first visit to Magic Kingdom, said "Yes, my Mother cried." Which kind of reasoning did Beth use when coming to this conclusion?
a. inductive
b. deductive
c. convergent
d. divergent

Okay...now I know I'm sleep deprived. That took WAY too long to write a fictious question that my students will never see...because they just won't get it...unless they are disboard junkies that read VERY LONG trip reports.

 

[DJR]

Mel, I know you're not dead, because I see you popped on the ZZUB novel. Let's get with it girl!

 

[celerystalker]

ohhhh melly poo! where is you?

 

[tinkermamaof2]

It can't be unfinished yet......you just started

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Heh heh.


Ok.

I've been slacking on this last Tripe for awhile. I'll admit.


But I have a really good reason.


I think.


Anywho... I came back late last Monday night from a trip to DISNEY WORLD!!!


Yep.

With my oldest, Beth. It was a Girls Only Tripe. And it was six days of more fun than I could have imagined.

Except for the snake.

Part.

And then I didn't have much time to do anything last week b/c I was preparing for a late Thanksgiving Weekend at West Point with The General and Crew. This last weekend.

I was more fun than I could have imagined.


Except for The General.

Part.


We had TWO turkeys. Only B/c The General refused to let me cook the original one she bought. For fear it had been defrosted too long and we'd all get deathly ill. Which was fine. I just had to find a new fresh turkey. All of a sudden.

Which was NO PROBLEM AT ALL. A week after everyone else in the country had celebrated Thanksgiving. By eating a LOT of turkey.


Or WAS it?


No matter. I found one.


Called: a *really* BIG CHICKEN. (NOZZUB)


And we had a lovely meal.


But the real fun of the weekend was in the new game we called ~ Smuggle The Perfectly Good Original Turkey Out of Westpoint Without The General Knowing!


B/c she wouldn't let us have it. Again for fear we'd all be poisoned.


Mellyman tried telling her he was just gonna throw it in her garbage for her.


No dice.


I tried telling her that the turkey told Me(l) that it wanted to go for a ride in the van.


No dice.


Beth told her that she needed a large thawed turkey for a project in music class.


No dice.


Tommy tried to make a break for it with the turkey but he couldn't lift it outta the fridge.


No dice. But it was pretty funny. Allthesame.


Calvin asked to "borrow" a turkey from her "Meat Library".


No dice. But it was pretty funny. But... just to Me(l), frankly.


Truth be told.



Finally we distracted her enough for Mellyman to hustle it out of the house and into the van in a large green garbage we called "laundry".

And make our break for it!


With the pedal to the metal. And our cell phones on vibrate.


Anywho... I'll be back to tell y'all at little bit about my trip with Beth to Disney.

Oh.


And maybe add a lil' sumpin' sumpin' to THIS actual trip report.


But I gotta blast now!



Stay tuned, thanks.



Cheers, Mel.

 

[ncseric]

Yeah, well, we're not expecting much.

 

[tink38]

I thought the image of him standing in the men's washroom. In his panties. Cleaning crap aka gum off of his shorts... was pretty freakin' humourous.

DED.

 

[DJR]

So I guess we can now look forward to two more unfinished trip reports...to go along with the other 2. Maybe if you string them all together, you can make 1 complete report out of them..


Or maybe not.

 

[Turtle]

Anywho... I'll be back to tell y'all at little bit about my trip with Beth to Disney.
Oh.
And maybe add a lil' sumpin' sumpin' to THIS actual trip report.

A trip report within a trip report? My head might just explode.

 

[Frickles]

Mel! I was there from the 28th - 2nd. When did you fly in? Girl I can't believe I missed you! Again!

 

[mlill]

I knew it!

I just knew you were in WDW when I felt a 'disturbance in the force' last weekend! There were happyhaunts running amuk!

We got home on Tuesday. Sorry we missed you. I hope you and Beth had a fab-u-lous time.

-Michelle

Since I can no longer tell which HappyHaunt trippie I'm reading, where or how long you're staying, whether or not you're camping, who's on the trip,when Canadian Turkey Day is, if it's a ZZUB-update Monday and whether or not you saw Chicken Corbin Blue on this trip or the other trip, I'm voting for one BIG trip report.

It should be the TRIP REPORT of trip reports. It will be an 'Enter Key' adventure (NOEllen'sEnergyAdventure). Of epic proportions.

Like Beowulf.

Only, I will actually read this epic. And not just hope there's a movie.

...

Can you imagine that??? A big-screen version of a HappyHaunt trip report?

I'm not sure the world is ready for that.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Ok... before I continue on with our currently playing feature... I thought I'd tell y'all a little bit about The Girls' Trip. That Beth and I just returned from.

Beth and I went over the Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend. We stayed for 5 nights. We had two nights at AKV and three nights at OKW. Loved AKV. Loved the restaurants and especially Jiko. We had a fabulous dinner there. Trying out the new appetizer addition of Fire-roasted Sambal Shrimp. Which were amazing and delicious. Beth said that next time we eat there she'll order that for her meal if the chef would be willing to make it as a main. I had the maize-crusted and seared pacific halibut with a tomato butter sauce which was so good it was BETTER than angels crying on my tongue. NODouble-wooded Lagavulin scotch. Yes. Better. It was so good I felt like cheering madly. Like a Muslim at the sight of a lamb sandwich at dusk during Ramadan.

Oh.

Maybe I should'a had the lamb there?! Instead.


Crap.


Anywho... Beth had an amazing filet too.

But enough about the food.

I think about food a lot though.


But not as much as my friend who would most certainly be arrested if anyone knew how much he thinks about food.

And here's the kicker: It's not even GOOD FOOD.


Half the time. NOCandyCorn.


Which kills me.


Moving on I'll tell you that we did do MNSSHP, the Magic Kingdom, Epcot (where we received Dream Fastpasses for the day) and also did Typhoon Lagoon two days in a row.

TL was a tremendous BLAST. We got there for the opening both days and found that it was pretty empty. And remained empty the whole day. No waits on any of the slides and the wave pool wasn't obscenely packed with people elbow to elbow waiting for the wave. Like in the summer. Although I did miss the massive wild roar that goes up from the masses when the boom signals the coming wave. And announces the potential loss of your bikini top and/or your sunglasses.

Anywho... I highly recommend TL for a day. Or two. In a row.

And then that's enough.

Oh. And, I'll have you all know, that I DID successfully do the Shark Reef Swim. Twice.

Without drowning. Even ONCE!


BOOYEAH!


Here's the part that I could've done without, tho:


It's the snake part.


And I will never again be able to relax on the Lazy River quite the same. Here we go: Look at the lazy people.

In the lazy river.


Look at the lazy British people and the lazy Canadians in the lazy river.


Look at the big group of lazy British folk right directly behind the lazy Canadians in the lazy river.

Look at the lazy Canadians in the lazy river sharing one big double tube raft. Floating together down the lazy river. Lazily.


And then look at the lazy Canadian...errr lady... suddenly jump out of her tube screaming and pointing.


Look at the big long snake in the lazy river. Swimming directly at the Canadian lady and her lazy Canadian daughter. In the lazy river. Against the current. Really fast. Not at all lazy-like. Directly towards the more CRAZED than LAZED Canadians.

Look at the cast member with the snake tongs trying desperately to catch the snake from the side of the lazy river. But missing and scaring the snake towards the lazy people in the lazy river.

See the lazy Canadian girl dive out of her tube and swim underwater through the fourteen lazy British folk floating in their tubes. And pop up behind them.

Watch the no-longer lazy Canadian woman lift her double tube over her head and literally climb onto the tube behind her. Which was ALREADY holding a weight-blessed, bald, middle-aged British chap with a bad sunburn. Watch the lady as she shrieks and bops the British folks in the head with her double tube. As she clambers around and around in circles on the strange man's tube. With the strange. Man. With the bad sunburn. STILL IN THE TUBE. Still bopping the other folks in the head with the wailing large double tube. That she won't let go of. For some reason.

Watch a handful of British women and girls start shrieking.

Some because of the snake heading in our direction in the lazy river.

The rest because of the CRAZED Canadian lady who is pummelling them, for some reason, with a large hoop of rubber. And scrambling around on their Dad's lap.

Apparently trying to drown him.


Or worse.


See the calm, good-natured British man with the sunburn note that the CM has finally succeeded in capturing the snake. And watch him take the nutso Canadian lady firmly by the shoulders and say, "Relax luv. He's got 'em."

Watch the Canadian lady check to see that he's not punking her. And then climb down off of the British man's tube, dragging her double tube over his poor burnt head for good measure. Turn to him and announce:

"Whew. Geez. You're so lucky I didn't panic."


Fortunately, he was very nice and friendly. And good-natured about the whole episode. As were the rest of their group.

And... he only mentioned once...that he thought he might be going home with a new magical Disney hernia.


Only he didn't say "magical" or "Disney". But I'm sure that's what he meant.


Hey, if you're out there: Dude, so contrite. Mean it.


So... that's lil sumpin' sumpin' of a horror from TL for y'all.


To ponder.


Next time you're a lazy person in the lazy river.


Also... since I'm NOT doing a tripe report of the Girls' Trip. I thought I'd share with you a little theme of our trip.


I call it ~ The Refillable For LIFE Mug Tour!


We'll start with the Poly:

Heh heh heh.


Cheers, Mel.

 

[pongoperdigirl]

Wow Mel, too bad you didn't go a coupla days earlier!

Hands down, funniest thing you've ever written.

Of course, given that crap you've written, maybe that's not such a compliment after all.

Beth told her that she needed a large thawed turkey for a project in music class.

This was also quite amusing. And not at all random. My cousin played the turkey in the marching band. He went to VaTech.

I have to go. A soon to be former employee just burnt the microwave popcorn. Again.
