The Moist Exhausting Free Trip Ever - Link to Part II Thread pg. 244

[Blueyed Girl]

Yesterday I had the opportunity to meet the movie quoting guru himself, Captain Oblivious. In following each others' threads, we realized that we must not live all that far from one another so he traveled north and I traveled south and we met up at our local Cheesecake Factory for some grub. It was great to meet the guy who gave me the shiny new title in my signature.

We had to keep one eye on the snow conditions outside since the storm that came up the East Coast had started in the early evening. And before we left we each had to order a couple of slices of cheesecake to go, for family back home. I belive the Captain was planning on doing that already, but my fate was sealed when I received a text from Marlene that read, "unless u bring us back a cheese cake dont talk to me (marlene) dont EVEN try!"

As we were leaving I mentioned that I brought my camera along, but there wasn't really an opportunity to get a photo to document the historic moment. He said, "Well the DIS Dads say that if there's no photo, it didn't happen."

Hmmm. He had a point there.

So we asked the hostess to try her hand at photography, while we looked for a picturesque area for the photo. Ah, yeah....we did about as well at our task as she did at focusing, but at least we did get something of a picture.

No, our shirts aren't the same. Just eerily similar.

Oh my gosh the 2 shirts thing is hilarious!!! How similar can you get without it actually being the same exact shirt?? Apparently it's not as hard as we think it is!

I hope you brought home a delicious cheesecake for Marlene!

Glad you got to have a Dis meet close to home. How fun!

 

[KatMark]

That was a gimme. I don't go for the pity wins......

But with the number of wins you have, maybe you should?

 

[FairyGodmotherJen]

Hey, Glen! I just had to pop in to say that I'm actually caught up (just the posts...no way I can find time to enjoy the banter) and am still enjoying! I didn't allow myself to check my subscribed threads at all last semester...the class I was taking was a killer! I have another one just starting up, but I hope to at least log on the boards every once in a while...I actually had to log back in the other day! Love the Nemo pics, and the Boma report. I'm going to get over there one of these days...

 

[glennbo123]

I have been second sooooo many times. I saw the post flying and had to click over and see. I quickly made sure no one else said andything and poof

That was well-played, and you were very deserving of today's win!

With all the flatulence talk that goes on, I'd be careful saying "poof" around here.

I am #1 this time. Even if it is not an official update.

Works for me.

Oh crap, I didn't know you had a picture with THOSE two! Nevermind........

Of course.

That was a gimme. I don't go for the pity wins......

Ha! Since when?!

I LOVE the cheesecake factory! What flavor did you get?

I got kahlua, and I brought home reese's peanut butter cup and red velvet cake for the other yayhoo's to split up. Judy couldn't believe it...they had been talking about cheesecake and these were the 2 she'd mentioned to Marlene. I'm good.

I love it! The shirts, the jackets, the glasses- you guys are long lost twins!

Okay, but seriously, its great that you guys got to meet. And I love that two happily married guys did not feel threatened meeting up to talk Disney over a couple slices of cheesecake. JUST KIDDING of course!

What, that's weird? There was a lot of manly talk too, that I wouldn't bore you with here.

Bask in the glory!

I am partial to Key Lime. YUM

Never had that one.

Oh my gosh the 2 shirts thing is hilarious!!! How similar can you get without it actually being the same exact shirt?? Apparently it's not as hard as we think it is!

You know what though...I didn't notice until I was putting up the post. And I thought it was going to be a pretty boring one. You guys are sure having a lot of fun with it!

I hope you brought home a delicious cheesecake for Marlene!

You betcha.

But with the number of wins you have, maybe you should?

SA-LAM! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...knockout!

Hey Jen! I was just thinking that I hadn't seen you on here in a while, so thanks for letting me know you're alive and well. I'm glad you got that class behind you, and I hope the next one isn't as bad. But I completely understand the need to prioritize where your time goes.

Thanks...I'm glad you liked those chapters, and yes, you should try Boma!

 

[eandesmom]

I swear I posted on this but it's gone! Losing my mind.

Very impressed with the creative streetmosphere decor using PC products. Loved the walking tour, I will stay there someday, it's too gorgeous not to.

I got kahlua, and I brought home reese's peanut butter cup and red velvet cake for the other yayhoo's to split up. Judy couldn't believe it...they had been talking about cheesecake and these were the 2 she'd mentioned to Marlene. I'm good.

VERY impressive. And now I want cheesecake.

What, that's weird? There was a lot of manly talk too, that I wouldn't bore you with here.

Manly talk. Hmmmn.

You know what though...I didn't notice until I was putting up the post. And I thought it was going to be a pretty boring one. You guys are sure having a lot of fun with it!

Ok THAT is even funnier! Between the glasses, jacket and shirt...it looks like you called each other.

 

[Poolrat]

That was well-played, and you were very deserving of today's win!

thank you, thank you vera much.

With all the flatulence talk that goes on, I'd be careful saying "poof" around here.

I will not light a match.

I got kahlua, and I brought home reese's peanut butter cup and red velvet cake for the other yayhoo's to split up. Judy couldn't believe it...they had been talking about cheesecake and these were the 2 she'd mentioned to Marlene. I'm good.

MMMMMmmm Red velvet cheesecake? OOOOhhh I have not had that one. The key lime cheesecake was one of my favorites. Mmmmm might have to make a trip to the 'ole factory.

 

[Sleepingbooty]

I am partial to Key Lime. YUM

my absolute FAVorite!

What, that's weird? There was a lot of manly talk too, that I wouldn't bore you with here.

No, not at all! I love it! Any man that likes to talk Disney AND brings his wife home cheesecake scores big points in my book!

Yeah, you better save the manly talk, you might need it next time we get into a 5 page long discussion on bags or shoes!

 

[*Seanaci*]

After staying up way past my bedtime 3 nights now, I am finally caught up. Fantastic TR! Can't wait to read the rest.

 

[marvali]

Hey, you're the one who said it wasn't an official contest!!! Congrats on your unofficial, official jump from bridesmaid!!!

I am partial to Key Lime. YUM

If you make it to Hilton Head, try the Key Lime Pound Cake at Signe's Bakery!!!

But with the number of wins you have, maybe you should?

Ouch! You are really on my case lately, aren't you!!!!

Ha! Since when?!

New Year's resolution?

I got kahlua, and I brought home reese's peanut butter cup and red velvet cake for the other yayhoo's to split up. Judy couldn't believe it...they had been talking about cheesecake and these were the 2 she'd mentioned to Marlene. I'm good.

Tasty choices! Did you have the kahlua straight, or did you have cheesecake with it??? (rimshot)

What, that's weird? There was a lot of manly talk too, that I wouldn't bore you with here.

How nice, you talked about me....

SA-LAM! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...knockout!

thank you, thank you vera much.

And don't call me Vera!!!

 

[jenbear123]

That's awesome you and Captain were able to meet up! I have to agree with everyone else on the matching shirt thing. That is too funny. Great minds think alike

Of course.

Best. Day. Ever. One day we shall meet again.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

But the real question is: Did you keep them on??!!!

we know that you wouldnt.

i wonder if you would even make in the lobby before it was off.

Great job on the DISmeet! Now you can say you have a picture with two of the most renowned posters on the DISboards!!!

you forgot he has a picture with me as well.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

It was great to meet the guy who gave me the shiny new title in my signature.

It was great to meet you too, Glenn. Oddly, neither one of us quoted any movies during our conversation. I felt afterwards like I'd let him down.

And before we left we each had to order a couple of slices of cheesecake to go, for family back home. I belive the Captain was planning on doing that already, but my fate was sealed when I received a text from Marlene that read, "unless u bring us back a cheese cake dont talk to me (marlene) dont EVEN try!"

My wife didn't need to text me. I learned that one the hard way a couple of years ago.

Ah, yeah....we did about as well at our task as she did at focusing, but at least we did get something of a picture.

The hostess seemed...well, less than enthusiastic about taking the picture.

No, our shirts aren't the same. Just eerily similar.

I don't know what everyone's talking about. Yours had white buttons. Mine had dark buttons. They're COMPLETELY different.

Anyway, for those of you who haven't met him yet, Glenn is every bit as friendly and fun to talk to in person as he is here on the DISboards. He even tried to give me his credit card at the end of the meal. I thought that was very generous, but politely demurred.*

*after ordering another 3 slices of cheesecake to take home.

OK...the degree to which your shirts and jackets is amazing. Just amazing.

Not really, when you consider the fact that we're guys. I have five more like it in my closet. For variety, I wear a blue shirt once in a while. If it ain't broke...

That is so cool that you got to meet Mark! Two great guys bringing pie home for the family.

Those shirts look very similar except one looks like snaps and one buttons to close it.

See? Completely different.

Great job on the DISmeet! Now you can say you have a picture with two of the most renowned posters on the DISboards!!!

Renowned? Renowned for what? What are you saying about me behind my back? Anyway, I think Glenn has a much bigger following than I do. I'm just the idiot who couldn't find his backup camcorder tapes on vacation.

0 Judy's

But Glenn made it clear that she was there in spirit.

Isn't it great when you meet another Diser? I'm sure you planned the outfit?

Only in the way guys typically plan their outfits: if it's on top of the pile, it gets worn that day. But yes, it is great to meet up. I even found out that we have a mutual friend that goes to his church. I will refrain from singing It's a Small World, though. You're welcome for getting it stuck in your head.

And look: no sequins!

I am glad you did not give each other the Liesa greeting.

The term "Liesa Greeting" is officially a keeper! Glenn might have been slightly put off if I'd tried that.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

But the real question is: Did you keep them on??!!!

Of course! Guys like us need to be very careful about putting on a gun show like that. We're both happily married, and can't be bothered to have women flocking to us. Sometimes it's even dangerous to simply go with a t-shirt:

See?

Actually, I believe I did have a gun show display in my TR, only to be told that many readers suffered from burned retinas.

He has great taste, obviously.

I noticed that the jackets were similar also, but thought I'd leave that for you guys to point out.

We probably shop at the same store, which is The Store My Wife Was In When She Saw This And Thought I'd Look Good In It Store. That, or Tar-get.

Yes, but I know what you mean...for some people a first meeting is a time for um, revelations.

You're right Kathy. Obviously the shirts are completely different!

I LOVE the cheesecake factory! What flavor did you get?

I almost always get the Oreo cheesecake. Because it's awesome. I brought home the pineapple upside-down cheesecake for my wife. Her first love is the Peppermint Bark cheesecake, but that's only available at Christmas time.

I love it! The shirts, the jackets, the glasses- you guys are long lost twins!

Also, we both love Disney World, AND we both breathe oxygen! The similarities never end!

Okay, but seriously, its great that you guys got to meet. And I love that two happily married guys did not feel threatened meeting up to talk Disney over a couple slices of cheesecake. JUST KIDDING of course!

I see nothing wrong with this. I also had chicken completely baked in cheese while Glenn had a greasy bbq burger smothered in onion rings and sauce. Grease, cholesterol, portions big enough to serve the San Diego Chargers. I'm good with this.

I am partial to Key Lime. YUM

Yes! That's a good one as well.

Oh my gosh the 2 shirts thing is hilarious!!! How similar can you get without it actually being the same exact shirt?? Apparently it's not as hard as we think it is!

It's funny to see how many people are commenting on this. The only thought I gave my shirt at the end of the day was, "Hey, I didn't get tomato sauce on it today."

But with the number of wins you have, maybe you should?

Game, set match! Nice one!

With all the flatulence talk that goes on, I'd be careful saying "poof" around here.

There's a manly topic of discussion.

I got kahlua, and I brought home reese's peanut butter cup and red velvet cake for the other yayhoo's to split up. Judy couldn't believe it...they had been talking about cheesecake and these were the 2 she'd mentioned to Marlene. I'm good.

What, that's weird? There was a lot of manly talk too, that I wouldn't bore you with here.

At one point, we even discussed some of the reasons it's better to be a man, such as:

• You only need to know the names of 7 colors.
• Wedding dress: $2,000. Tux Rental: $75
• The world is your urinal, as Glenn has mentioned before.
• Neither of you is horrified when you wear a similar outfit.

VERY impressive. And now I want cheesecake.

Me too!

Manly talk. Hmmmn.

*burp*

Ok THAT is even funnier! Between the glasses, jacket and shirt...it looks like you called each other.

We did! But it was about the snow affecting our travel. Glenn was very bold, and said something to the effect of, "I have a Honda CRV. I laugh in the face of snow."

MMMMMmmm Red velvet cheesecake? OOOOhhh I have not had that one. The key lime cheesecake was one of my favorites. Mmmmm might have to make a trip to the 'ole factory.

I also recommend the chocolate mousse cheesecake. Because it's chocolatey.

No, not at all! I love it! Any man that likes to talk Disney AND brings his wife home cheesecake scores big points in my book!

Yes! We even drove through blizzard conditions to bring it home! Manly indeed!

 

[DisneyLaura]

No, our shirts aren't the same. Just eerily similar.

Yeah a DIS meet

 

[englishrose47]

On dressing the same I always figure how nice that someone else has as gooda taste as me

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Cool! DISman meet!

Considering how un-DIS like the hostess was, I'm truly glad you didn't do the Liesa greeting! It's not quite like a Vulcan or Planet Ork - the world hasn't embraced it yet.

 

[norybell]

Hm. Not sure I believe this historic event really happened. Looks Photoshopped to me.

 

[glennbo123]

Very impressed with the creative streetmosphere decor using PC products. Loved the walking tour, I will stay there someday, it's too gorgeous not to.

The lady wearing PC products was incredibly creative.

Thanks. I'm sure you'll make it there someday.

VERY impressive. And now I want cheesecake.

Don't think about the fact that it always makes it on these lists of worst-ever restaurant foods.

Manly talk. Hmmmn.

That sounded like "Ahhh Bach" from M*A*S*H.

Ok THAT is even funnier! Between the glasses, jacket and shirt...it looks like you called each other.

I guess I can see how it might be a little funny.

thank you, thank you vera much.

Ladies and gentlemen, Poolrat has left the building.

I will not light a match.

Very wise.

MMMMMmmm Red velvet cheesecake? OOOOhhh I have not had that one. The key lime cheesecake was one of my favorites. Mmmmm might have to make a trip to the 'ole factory.

Just order it and run...don't look at the menu or you may have to come back to try something else.

No, not at all! I love it! Any man that likes to talk Disney AND brings his wife home cheesecake scores big points in my book!

Yeah, you better save the manly talk, you might need it next time we get into a 5 page long discussion on bags or shoes!

Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've waked into one of those bags and shoes discussions. Maybe I'm not sub'd to as many PTR's as I used to.

After staying up way past my bedtime 3 nights now, I am finally caught up. Fantastic TR! Can't wait to read the rest.

Seanaci!!!

Anyone who would stay up late for 3 nights to get caught up on my TR deserves a -->

I'm glad you've joined in and am very impressed that you've caught up. Thanks for the kind words...did I tell you that I'm glad you've joined in?

If you make it to Hilton Head, try the Key Lime Pound Cake at Signe's Bakery!!!

Something tells me that you're a guy who knows his bakeries.

Ouch! You are really on my case lately, aren't you!!!!

We know you can take it, but can you dish it out? Oh wait, we know that too.

Tasty choices! Did you have the kahlua straight, or did you have cheesecake with it??? (rimshot)

He's here all week folks. Don't forget to tip your server.

How nice, you talked about me....

Uh, yeah...yeah, that's right.

That's awesome you and Captain were able to meet up! I have to agree with everyone else on the matching shirt thing. That is too funny. Great minds think alike

You're meeting Yuki and Rosie soon, right? Make sure you coordinate!

Best. Day. Ever.

It was a great day!

One day we shall meet again.

If you had said that to me when I was in junior high I would've answered with, "Not if I see you first!" But not now...I'm too mature for that.

you forgot he has a picture with me as well.

I did think of that, but found the jenbear and bubba photo first.

 

[glennbo123]

It was great to meet you too, Glenn. Oddly, neither one of us quoted any movies during our conversation. I felt afterwards like I'd let him down.

Shoot. We could have just started off with "How's the italian food in this restaurant?"

The hostess seemed...well, less than enthusiastic about taking the picture.

And only slightly capable.

I don't know what everyone's talking about. Yours had white buttons. Mine had dark buttons. They're COMPLETELY different.

Obviously. These people.

Anyway, for those of you who haven't met him yet, Glenn is every bit as friendly and fun to talk to in person as he is here on the DISboards. He even tried to give me his credit card at the end of the meal. I thought that was very generous, but politely demurred.*

*after ordering another 3 slices of cheesecake to take home.

Hmmm. Remind me to check my credit card transactions.

Not really, when you consider the fact that we're guys. I have five more like it in my closet. For variety, I wear a blue shirt once in a while. If it ain't broke...

Exactly. We were in uniform.

Only in the way guys typically plan their outfits: if it's on top of the pile, it gets worn that day.

Right! That whole "matching the animals" thing was way too difficult.

And look: no sequins!

That did take me by surprise a little bit.

The term "Liesa Greeting" is officially a keeper! Glenn might have been slightly put off if I'd tried that.

Yes, "Liesa Greeting" is now in the official lexicon.

Of course! Guys like us need to be very careful about putting on a gun show like that. We're both happily married, and can't be bothered to have women flocking to us. Sometimes it's even dangerous to simply go with a t-shirt:

See?

Yes, you can see the thumbs-up stamp of approval I got. You don't see that everyday from Canadians. Oh wait, maybe you do.

Actually, I believe I did have a gun show display in my TR, only to be told that many readers suffered from burned retinas.

Yes, something about staring into eclipses and arc welders, as I recall.

We probably shop at the same store, which is The Store My Wife Was In When She Saw This And Thought I'd Look Good In It Store. That, or Tar-get.

Could be. I'll have to check the tag.

I see nothing wrong with this. I also had chicken completely baked in cheese while Glenn had a greasy bbq burger smothered in onion rings and sauce. Grease, cholesterol, portions big enough to serve the San Diego Chargers. I'm good with this.

That about sums it up.

It's funny to see how many people are commenting on this. The only thought I gave my shirt at the end of the day was, "Hey, I didn't get tomato sauce on it today."

Yeah, but what about chicken/cheese?

We did! But it was about the snow affecting our travel. Glenn was very bold, and said something to the effect of, "I have a Honda CRV. I laugh in the face of snow."

It didn't let me down!

Yes! We even drove through blizzard conditions to bring it home! Manly indeed!

At home, I was greeted like Balto delivering the insulin....or whatever medical supplies it was that he delivered.

Yeah a DIS meet

You betcha!

On dressing the same I always figure how nice that someone else has as gooda taste as me

I'm with you Rosie!

Considering how un-DIS like the hostess was, I'm truly glad you didn't do the Liesa greeting! It's not quite like a Vulcan or Planet Ork - the world hasn't embraced it yet.

We can only hope that one day the world will see the benefit to this.

Hm. Not sure I believe this historic event really happened. Looks Photoshopped to me.

Okay, maybe a little light airbrushing. But that was it!
