We're well aquainted with the "Stich Spit". On Stitch's great escape, Ds adn I managed to sit in the "get spit on" seats. That night, we went to DtD and DD and DS ran around tryign to be in just the right spot to get spit on. Then we had to explain why they were wet at dinner.

We'll have to try the Margaritas when we go back. We'll even toast Buzz and Linnie as we toss 'em back.

I'm not going to say a word!...........

 

[wannago2disney]

Are you closer to Detroit or Buffalo? I'm near Syracuse, NY.


Closer to Detroit...we are right across from Port Huron Michigan at the base of Lake Huron. We get the mild weather because of the "big water" effect! However, Sarnia doesn't usually get the bad snow storms...they happen about 10 minutes down the road!

 

[SunKat]

I know you'll find this hard to believe Buzz, but I've never, ever seen that Margarita Hut! I'll have to find it on our next trip.

I'm guessing that LG and MB didn't need a fast pass for the brick wall attraction, eh?

Wow, and you're still on day one. I keep forgetting that. Thanks for all the entertainment. Now get out there and shovel some snow.

 

[wannago2disney]

Linnie, I don't think your doing it right...you need to take a really long time...pausing to grasp your back between shovelfuls...this makes the neighbours take pitty on you and then they come over with thier big snow blowers and do it for you.
My neighbour always comes out and blows out my driveway and sidewalks when he sees me doing it instead of my husband...he says that he can't stand to see me out there 'cause I am such a bad actor

jordan, this is my magnum opus. I'm not sure it will ever end. I've got an entire chapter devoted to me trying to open a bottle of wine for breakfast one morning. My longest chapter is one that details my exploits in an Animal Kingdom Companion Bathroom.

w2d, don't give LtP any ideas! She's tough enough to be around. All day I hear about how hard she has it.

SunKat, this is why you read trippys. So you can find out important information like where is the best margarita in the world located. Glad I could help.

winkers, that little exchange between you and DM was funny.

camelot, you and LtP got your own little conversation going. problem is there's like 60 posts in between you two talking so nobody has a clue what you guys are jabbering about.

Kathy, Ed can meander with me any time he likes. It would be nice to have a cop on my side for once.

beckanoah, those smilies shouldn't get you in trouble this time.

You Know You're from Montana when...



The wind is faster than your truck

Every other vehicle is a 4x4

When the sun goes down you start looking for your coat

In March your vehicle is 43% mud

You leave your keys in the car and the next morning it's still there

You installed your new computer using a leatherman tool

You hear the words "stream" or "brook" pronounced "crick"

The elevation exceeds the population

You've broken down on the highway and somebody stops to help you

You can see the stars at night

People drive 200 miles to shop in a real mall

Your great grandmother is older than the courthouse

You got a set of snow tires for Valentines Day

The bumper jack in your pickup will lift a house

Your back yard smells like sagebrush or various animals

A girls' basketball game fills the gym

You slept through the night unawakened by a siren

A rodeo is more popular than a rock concert

You can fish, golf, and go skiing all in the same day if you try hard enough

Yellow light means "follow the car in front of you no matter what"

Democrats are like salmon, they are on the endangered species list

You wave to someone on the freeway because you recognize the truck

You talk about a combine and people don't wonder what you are putting together

In the spring every tenth car you pass is a tractor

Someone says manure spreader and you know it isn't the local congressman

When the car in front of you is weaving you suspect a farmer instead of a drunk

You can actually pronounce the City's name Glasgow (Glasgo) without calling it Glascow

Maps and gloves are kept in your vehicles "jockey box"|

You can choose plastic bags or a paper sacks for your groceries

You actually get these jokes and forward them to all your Montana friends

Things Canadians are proud of...



Smarties.
Crispy Crunch.
Coffee Crisp.
The footballs and fields are bigger, and we have one less Down.
Lacrosse is Canadian.
Hockey is Canadian.
Basketball is Canadian.
The biggest flags ever seen/flown at any Olympics were Canadian... The second time it was smuggled in because they made a rule against it cause of the first time.
Mr. Dress-up can kick Mr. Rogers ***.
Much Music kicks MTV's ***.
Maple syrup kicks Mrs. Butterworths *** (...don't know about Aunt Jemima though).
Tim Horton's kicks Dunkin Donuts ***.
Waaaay better beer commercials/contests and beer company give a ways. Example: the Molson Canadian House Party...where you get to keep the house. Trashed or not.
In the war of 1812, we pushed the Americans so far back... passed their 'White House', burned it...and most of Washington. We got bored because they ran away so we came home and partied. Go figure.
Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany.
The largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war.
The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary, who slept in and missed the whole thing... but showed up just in time to get caught.
We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on.
The Hudson's Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earths surface and is still around as the worlds oldest company.
The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes.
We still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo.
The Canadian Civil War was a bar fight that lasted a little over an hour.
We don't marry our kin-folk.
We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, the long distance and short wave radios that save countless lives each year. Oh yeah...and the handles on beer cases big enough to fit your hands with mitts on.
We can hum the tune to 'Definition'.
We all know that a scale that measures boiling water at 212 degrees and freezes at 32 is asinine.
We've ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
We can out drink Americans in a heart beat!!
Our elections take only one day.

My favorite meandering locations are Downtown Disney and the World Showcase. However, I have been to known to meander around swimming pools also.

You da man!! I love wandering around - so long as I can shop along the way

During my average workweek, I’m trying to manage over 100 employees, 3300 customers, and various other commitments that we all have in our daily lives. I’m flying around the country, putting on seminars, visiting with clients, and entertaining customers. I have no time to meander.

I can see why Disney vacations are so important for all of you

But on vacation, with cell phone off, laptop closed, I’m able to remove most everything from my congested brain and focus on a “good” meander.

Um...this is where you made your first mistake! Laptops should never be closed. Okay - maybe the work stuff but not the fun stuff like DISboards

2). Booze. The more pickled up you are, the more enjoyable the meander. Sometimes though, a meander can turn into a drunken stumble. There’s a fine line people.

If I was meandering with booze, I'd never find my way back to the resort

Upon completion of my seafood feast, I decided what the family really needed was a good meander through Downtown Disney. Secretly, I was going to lead this meander right on over to Cap’n Jack’s Margarita bodega.

Secretly eh? As if Linnie had no idea

Those of you counting have figured out that by this point in the day ONE I’ve consumed around 250 servings of alcohol. What you have to keep in mind is that men tend to exaggerate, and while I contend that I’m no ordinary man, I frequently exaggerate more than others.

Now this is where you disappoint me. While in NY with DM, I found myself defending you about your posts and here I find out that you've been exaggerating - frequently

Now, one thing you have to keep in mind as you read this installment of my trip report is that when I talk about Cap’n Jack’s Margarita Bar, I’m NOT talking about Cap’n Jack’s Restaurant. There’s a distinct difference.

Haven't got a clue WTH you're talking about

Am I now meandering? No. Do I care? No.

Run baby run!!!! Run like the wind

In the old days, you could only get ONE margarita at a time per person. As a matter fact, if you were alone while ordering alcohol ANYWHERE in Disney, you could only purchase one. Those days were a real pain in the rump. Those days are also long gone!

Really???

I chatted with the bartender about this policy change as nobody was in line behind me. He had some drawn out, lengthy explanation that I nodded numbly to while sipping LtP’s margarita. It’s a trick I do to ensure that I get more than her.

I love it

Soon enough, my herd showed up. The children were, of course, bored and had no intention of just “sitting around” watching “nothing”.

Wait till they get older - it gets worse

Oh, one last thing: One of the entrances to World of Disney has Stitch overhead and he “spits” on you!!!!

You can see him in the background over my shoulder.

We took that picture of Stitch spitting!! I'm not at that point in my TR so I haven't uploaded it yet but now I'm gonna go do that and post it here
