The Maelstromers... a FASTPASS!

[1000thhappyhaunt]

I see we have some new Maelstromers here!

Welcome!

Especially the two that dressed up for this party. In the big horns.

Cheers.

Thanks! NOOOOO...Tommy. Calvin was chasing him around at The General's (my Mom)... he wiped out and hit his head on the table in her living room.

Oh yeah... how do you get BLOOD out of a cream carpet???? There's quite a bit of a stain. She's perturbed. To say the least. And she's STILL got our cat. I'm afraid for the cat's well-being. Heh, heh.

Try using club soda

Geez, can't leave for 24 hours without 18 pages to read through.

Mark, I am loving the rap! (I actually typed wrap, I am so uncool).

MommyPoppins - this is gonna be TMI. I can so relate to mind if we observe, we are just learning. When my oldest DD was born, they asked my DH if it would be OK if nursing students observed the birth. He says sure. DID ANYONE ASK ME!!!! Well, about 30, I repeat 30, nursing students crowd in the delivery room to observe. For months I feared going to the mall and people coming up and saying, I saw your baby born, and BTW loved the stirrup thing. Just need to insert a banana. Everyone have a good weekend. I need to vacumn, shop, etc etc.

Zzub - had your family put on the prayer list.

Laaaaaaaaaaaalaaaaa. Lalalalala. LaLa. What are you DOING????? For the Love of God, woman! It appears you've been giving out "nanas" left, right and centre?! Please, please... can we not give the dreaded creepy dee bananamen "cutesy-poo" nicknames like "nanas"? Geez. AND... I've never seen so MANY bananamen in the course of two and a half Dispages before. What gives? Bad LaLa, Bad LaLa. (It also appears that you DO belong over here!)

Hey, at least they weren't masked and wielding swords. Or smoking.

Mel, don't make me bust out a Chewbacca on ya.

I don't want to. But I will. Yep, he's just sittin there in My Favorites waitin' to come out and play.

WELL ~

You all must LOVE Bananamen.

Along with... Maelstrom.

so

A bunch of you really like Maelstrom the FASTPASS ride? Huh. What gives? I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED. You are all getting Viking Punishment. Looks like we're gonna have to order more stinkin' SWEATERS than t-shirts. I'm literally shaking my up here. In Canada. But... guess what? I have a confession, too. I think I'll be riding Maelstrom as much as Gary next trip in May. Maelstrom is in my brain. It's terminal.

Hold the Phone. Does this mean what I think it means? Mel. What are you saying?

Do you actually...........

like Maelstrom too?

 

[horsegirl]

Morning all! I have serious reservations about posting these pictures, but to prove that we are true Maelstromers, have no shame, but have lots of, ba . . . .errr, courage, here they are!

I hope everyone has a lovely Saturday!

OMG-a true Maelstromer here! GA, we should all look so fine with the horns. Okay, all my relatives came over on the viking ship, er I mean boat.--can I be a Maelstrommer too?

MommyP-OMG again, How is your down under? I thought your post was to be cheeky and test the censoring! I didn't know you were really getting zapped! Owie! Sounds like you had a rough one with all those kiddos. At least you weren't crouched behind a garbage can using towels as huggie wipes!

Good morning Maelstromers...

Anyone have any suggesstions for controlling 11 six year old girls??
My oldest DD (age 7) is going to be in a Lip Sync contest...with 10 of her friends. We have their routine all worked out but...man do they need practice. Now, trying to be the supportive mom that I am...I offered OUR house as a place to practice later today. (What was I THINKING?????)

They are Lip Syncing to Gwen Steffani...Hollaback girll...a song that I am not sure how Mel will feel about...
"It's Bananas! B A N A N A S!"

It is actually going to be quite cute...they are all going to dress up in cheerleading costumes and do a little cheer routine to the music. So, what's the problem?? Well, we had a practice at the school yesterday, not our first one...we've been practicing for weeks actually. Up until yesterday they were doing pretty well...but...yesterday it was like none of them cared.

I am usually a pretty fun, happy person, but yesterday I was pretty fed up with the whole thing. It was one of those situations where the other mom's...who have done next to nothing up to this point, wanted to help FIX what was wrong. Not sure about you guys, but I know that if I want my kids to do something...especially when in front of all their best friends...I cannot be the one to tell them to do it. It always works better when it comes from someone else....know what I mean? Anyway...we (my neighbor and I) decided to have a get together at my house today...I am just hoping I can get some of these girls to actually LISTEN today.....(we only have 2 weeks to preformance night and a few of the girls still need work on their moves...and they all need to work on the lip syncing part!! which is really weird...since they all know the song)

Thanks for listening Maelstromers...and any ideas you have would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Jen

Bribe them with ice cream. Tell them that if they behave and practice you'll got out for ice cream afterwards. That's how my mom used to bribe me and my friends when we were that age. It worked for us--my friends and I took first place in our school's lip synching competition (dating myself here), with a rendition of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun."

 

[horsegirl]

My name is Mark and I can not lie. You other brothers can't deny.
That a little bitty gnome tied together with two more and a big ol' bear.

With white up in his hair.

Can make a real cool ride.

Even if the Mel don't like,

I don't really care if the dump shop fare means I have to pay like a million rays to keep my family foced (that's short for foused - let's face it I am a white boy who can't jump) on the the goal of being all stoked.

'Bout going to Disney with the hope of winning at the game of life and getting finally meet the prince, who will once day get the...

Well doggone it I have run out of rhymes. So I am finally going to try and go to sleep and be able to function tomorrow. Got a wedding tomorrow night after all. Furnerl yesterday and a wedding tomorrow. You know, even in the midst of death...God is still amazingly good!

Blessings everyone!
Mark

Wife,

Can I just say that I want to move to the south and convert? Now that you and GA told us where your church is, we can all go and rap on Sundays with you! And white boys can wrap, look at eminem. I just happen to like your cleaner, squeakier style a whole lot more. So from this unhip, uncool middle aged mom, I'd go to your concerts and pay. Come to think of it, I can! Just got to find my way to the UMC and hang out in the pews. And give very generously at offering. Your church doesn't have a mosh pit, does it?

Hi Mel
Marky Mark was inspired by this link:

I didn't catch this last night...what a hoot! Thanks for re-posting the link.

So we're NOT the only ones that do that!!!!!

I think the look on your man's face leaves no question as to who is wearing the Big Horns!

 

[luvpooh]

wow - I just caught up!
ZZUB & MommyP - glad to hear everything went well, relatively speaking, yesterday...
um...I'm in the Living Room on the PC, and all of a sudden, I just heard my DBF (darling boyfriend, not any of those other DBF's, although, he could be the one about the banged up Fiat) go 'squeak, squeak'! ***? I was like, what did you just say? He actually did it again! I think he's onto us...P.S. He LOVES Maelstrom!

but at the same time, who cares, I've had four babies, let just move this party to the waiting room so everyone can learn

Thank you very much. Your pain is my gain. This made me laugh huge! I needed that so much.

Mel: In your mind do I actually look like Gene Hackman?! Good grief woman! How old and disgusting do you think I am????? What a strange way to kick me when I'm down.

Can anyone explain this? This may be more offensive than the dancing banana freak.

 

[princesslibby]

HaleyB, my kids came in when I playing the song. Then we listened/watched it 5 times in a row. My DS4 wants to see it again. Yeah! There are worse ways to spend a Saturday. Like yard work or laundry.

Put your reading glasses on, you old buzzard! heh, heh

I said:NOT Richard Gere, Gene Hackman or the dreaded Gene Gere.

NOT

Listen... in my mind you looked like Gary Sinese. Shhhhhh! Don't tell the Maestromers. It's a secret. That's what you look like. To me. I think.

Ohhhhhhhhhh... "I like old guys... and I cannot lie"!!!! Heh, heh.

BTW... I have a feeling that you're younger than me. I think you are. You ARE. Aren't you? I'm 37.

Ok. I'm done for now. You can put the magnifying glass down.

I really gotta get to that carpet store.

Glad you're back. Stick around. I'll make you laugh. Or die tryin'.

 

[Jennifer48]

Oh man you guys crack me up. In a good way though, not like a "crackhead"

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a cult the way I follow you guys around. "Oh look, Mel Happyhaunt has posted! Gotta go read!"

 

[javamom]

Melon Mom. That's good. Hmmm... she wanted an avatar, didn't she, Javamom?

Yes, well, ummm, we privately came to collective conclusion that the one I made for her would probably get us kicked outa here, seeing as how things are a bit off lately. I promise though that it was NOT x-rated or anything. But, perhaps at some point something else will inspire me. lol

 

[javamom]

And Javamom, I don't think I've told you, but CONGRATS on the job!

How bout a banana man or two?

They are the harmless variety, after all.

Thanks! I see your banana man and raise you a

 

[javamom]

Okay, now that's Creepy Dee.

Hilarious. Thanks for the link.

I have to give you a nana for that.

*confesses* I love the Kenya song from Weebl and Bob.

I don't know why, I think because there is something cute about dancing lions and tigers... even if they don't like Norway.

Oh dear, if that a fastpass... I hope not. I like Norway really I do!

ummm decided to delete the link... just go to weebl and bob and search for Kenya. You'll be glad ya did...lol.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

It looks like some people are not liking The Queen of the Nicknames'... nicknames. Not to mention who, exactly, those some people are. Over on LaLa's thread on the TR Board.

So I fixed my last post for some people .

I hope that some people are feeling better after hacking up a bagel with cream cheese. Heh, heh.

Carpet store... here I come.

And Burger Thing, too. I mean King.

Ohhhhhhhhh... "I need some fries... and I cannot lie"!!!!!!!

 

[zachnlucy]

How could this have possibly got up to 23 pages in the last couple of days? I've spent my entire morning trying to catch up. Geez!

Regarding the debate about weird smilies, this guy always freaks me out. He's wayyyyyy too wired and looks like a gigelo.

 

[ZZUB]

HappyHauntie:

You really are stalking me, aren't you?!

Who keeps shouting Maelstrom? Is that you?

Were you the lady following me around the grocery store this morning?

Will someone answer that darn phone? (obscure, but I'm sure you can figure it out)
