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

[jenbear123]

Fabulous update! That show sounds like great fun. Bob must love his job. He sounds like a fantastic piano player too, with those videos you posted. If I'm ever staying at POR or POFQ, I'll have to make this show a must-do. What's Yee-haw Bob's website?

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

great update glenn, bob was awesome the amount of information he remembered from people as he walked around the room before he started the show was very impressive. the private ride over was very nice of the lady, one of the friendliest CM's we encountered that vacation.

i think candi did make that picture of us a little better.

Our server came by and Dan asked for two more beers for he and Candi, but when they arrived Candi didn’t want another one. I was finishing up my Dogfish so I told the waiter to just leave it with me. (I forget what he said exactly, but the waiter loved me for that -- I guess I had just saved him some paperwork.) I took one sip of the Bud Lite Lime and it seemed pretty sour, after drinking the Dogfish. I must have made a face because Dan said, “You don’t like it?” I said that I probably would like it, but after just drinking a Dogfish, it was a tough transition. We’ve had some fun here on the DIS since returning home, referring to that occasion.

actually glenn, i think i need to correct you a little here...he asked me if i wanted another i said sure thing...and he took that as a signal for one for both of us...that is why when he came back we were both looking at him like uhhh, and candi said she did not want another...she was still sitting with almost half of her first one.

but lucky for us (actually lucky for me) glenn stepped up to the plate and took it...i was getting ready to tell him to leave it for me, and I would drink it, but with how much we put down that night before we got to you(at the luau), i think i would have gotten a few looks from candi for that one.



but i will let it slide this time.

We had a great time meeting Dan and Candi. The Yeehaa Bob show isn’t the best place to hold a conversation, but we did get to talk a little before the show started and a little bit at other times. They’re a really nice couple…as they say in the south, “they’re good people”!

this is true, not the best for conversation, but we did enjoy talking to u guys before the show. and it was good laughs there.


you and your family are also good people.

We've had Dogfish Head, it's pretty tasty stuff. And no offense Dan but A Bud Light Lime would taste pretty nasty after a Dogfish. On the flip side I bet Dan wouldn't like the Dogfish Head.

What a fun fun DISmeet! I love Dan and Candi's matching outfits and you all look like you had a blast! Great pictures. Even the blurry ones. It makes me feel better about my point and shoot when other people's come out blurry too!

yeah i can see how the taste was very different for him...but we are more light beer drinkers, not real dark drinkers.


those outfits are authentic from the islands, candis sister sent them to us for christmas this year.

Great update! It sounds like you had a lot of fun. I think I need to see that show one day. I love Dan's and Candi's matching outfits, both look great in these pictures. And now we know what all that beer talk is about. I have no idea what a Dogfish Head nor a Bud Lime Lite are, so I can't really take sides in that discussion.

thanks, they are from maui candis sister bought them for us.

being from germany i think u would lean more to the dogfish beer.

I'm reading Dan's TR too but he's not at his DIS meet yet - they look so cute with their outfits - My DH would NEVER do that.

and i wont prob get there for a while that was day 7 or 6 for us, and i still am on not even on the first park day.


disney is one place you can get away with matching outfits and not get to many weird looks.

I probably wouldn't be inclined to do that either, but their outfits were really nice. They looked like something you'd wear, even separately, not just something you wore because they matched. (This is supposed to be a compliment, I'm not sure if it's coming out that way. I really liked them!) Plus, they had just been to the luau, so they were perfect.

i took it as a compliment glenn no worries...they were good luau shirts...but i would not wear them in the parks.

Nice coup on the private bus ride Dan, but somehow I think you might have had a hard time snagging that one without Candi along! I'm just sayin'!

Well, duh!

actually it was parker who got us the ride i think. we were talking and he came up somehow, she was just starting her shift, and she wanted to see pictures of him, saying he had to be cute with us as parents, (i think she was hitting on me)


yep she does make most pictures better.

Okay, I didn't do this before but due to some people trying to garner points by posting pictures and then claiming a Judy-do sighting, and in honor of Magdelene's well played use of the "global" sighting rule, I take this opportunity to claim all of the Candi-do points for this round of the competition!

i do like the new game, very cleaver way to get a round of points, by adding your own addition to the game.

Congrats on the Anniversary Dan and Candi! Those are definitely a great choice of matching Hawaiian outfits! DW and I did the matching shirt/muumuu years (and years) ago in Hawaii. Looks like we need to go to the Luau and see about getting some new ones that match.

we have another set that is pretty close to the same print that we bought for our last trip, i dont rmember if we wore them on the same day or not though, i guess we will just have to wait for that day of the TR to come out.

i can look for some in hawaii when i go next year if you want.

 

[Disneygrl36]

Great update.....love seeing your meet up with Dan & Candi.
your pics of the Yeehaw Bob show. He is such a great show man & people really get into the show. It's such a fun addition to any Disney vacation...........& it's free like you said except for drinks.

 

[marvali]

disney is one place you can get away with matching outfits and not get to many weird looks.

NO WAY! People at Disney with matching outfits??? Well I guess one or two would be believeable, but surely not huge tour groups or anything!!!

actually it was parker who got us the ride i think. we were talking and he came up somehow, she was just starting her shift, and she wanted to see pictures of him, saying he had to be cute with us as parents, (i think she was hitting on me)

Oops, my bad. That's what I get for assuming a bus driver would just naturally be a man.

i do like the new game, very cleaver way to get a round of points, by adding your own addition to the game.

And after citing you for a violation of Rule 2783.456.31, Subparagraph 289 you didn't already figure out my capability to manipulate the game??? (purely from an integrity standpoint)

we have another set that is pretty close to the same print that we bought for our last trip, i dont rmember if we wore them on the same day or not though, i guess we will just have to wait for that day of the TR to come out.

Too much time attending the glennbo university of building anticipation and readership I see.....

i can look for some in hawaii when i go next year if you want.

Thanks for the offer but DW is so picky, I think I'll let her handle the fashion coordination (as if I was capable ) As soon as I thought I could tell you what to get so she would like it, I would find out just how little I knew about it for sure!

We went to Hawai'i on a package tour. The first morning after we arrived, they got everyone that purchased the same package together, presented all these wonderful sightseeing/show packages for us to purchase if we wanted, and then bussed us to Hilo Hattie's in Honolulu so we could take care of all our clothing purchases up front. Of course, once you get out on the street you find many opportunities to purchase the same things for much less.

 

[glennbo123]

What a fun night! Looks like everyone had a blast and you also got to meet another Diser. This was a great way to start your vacation off.

Yes, meeting DISers is great isn't it? They're the only people who understand our compulsions to do strange things, like take pictures of Disney food and stuff like that.

We obviously like Bob's show....we started our vacation off last year the same way!

Jumping in late here, but I am caught up and look forward to hearing more! Bob's show looks like a ton of fun. I may have to see if we have room in the scedule to catch him!

Cherry Limeade!! Very cool screen-name, by the way.

I definitely recommend checking out his show.

Since Magdelene invoked the little known "global" Judy-do sighting rule to collect all the points in this round, I will refrain from any further comments about her underhanded manipulation of the rules and just say . I do, however, see a need for an emergency meeting of the rules committee to discuss an addendum for time zone adjustment.

Something tells me it won't take you long to assemble that committee Marv.

Well, duh!

I wrote that with you in mind. I knew you'd have something to say about that particular picture being a lot better than the previous one.

Looks like someone is missing. I guess somebody is getting too grown up to participate with the younger crowd!

Yeah, well, it was "head, shoulders, knees, and toes".

Kudos to James on the great shirt. I have one just like that.......well, except a little bigger!

I still haven't gotten around to mentioning that shirt in the TR yet. Well, let me just say that I used to have one too.

Okay, I didn't do this before but due to some people trying to garner points by posting pictures and then claiming a Judy-do sighting, and in honor of Magdelene's well played use of the "global" sighting rule, I take this opportunity to claim all of the Candi-do points for this round of the competition!

Since I'm not related to Candi, am I allowed to play?

You were right the first time. Since when did you start questioning yourself???

When did I start? More like when will I stop!

A product of one too many Dogfish I would guess.

I only had 1! And the Bud Lite Lime pucker inducer.

You certainly have a habit of meeting good people when you go to WDW! Of course, I will say that it is easier to do that when you ARE "good people!"

Yes, it's becoming a habit. Thanks.

Hmmm, Mr. Potatohead......I like the sound of that!!! Hopefully Mr. Potatohead and his family will finally make it to a park......

Wait a second...I'm not the Mr. Potatohead that's referring to.

Fabulous update! That show sounds like great fun. Bob must love his job.

I was thinking that too. He looks like he's genuinely having a blast.

He sounds like a fantastic piano player too, with those videos you posted.

I'm glad you could tell, even though the audio is bad. I wasn't sure they'd do him any justice.

If I'm ever staying at POR or POFQ, I'll have to make this show a must-do. What's Yee-haw Bob's website?

I'm onto you Jenbear!

great update glenn, bob was awesome the amount of information he remembered from people as he walked around the room before he started the show was very impressive. the private ride over was very nice of the lady, one of the friendliest CM's we encountered that vacation.

I had a feeling he was taking note of names, but I didn't realize how many!

Ooops, didn't realize your driver was a she.

i think candi did make that picture of us a little better.

NO question about it!

actually glenn, i think i need to correct you a little here...he asked me if i wanted another i said sure thing...and he took that as a signal for one for both of us...that is why when he came back we were both looking at him like uhhh, and candi said she did not want another...she was still sitting with almost half of her first one.

but i will let it slide this time.

Thanks for correcting me. I don't think I really heard the original request actually. I just remember him showing up with 2, and I was about finished, so it seemed like the thing to do to not let it go to waste!

this is true, not the best for conversation, but we did enjoy talking to u guys before the show. and it was good laughs there.

you and your family are also good people.

Thanks.

and i wont prob get there for a while that was day 7 or 6 for us, and i still am on not even on the first park day.

Yeah, what up with that?

disney is one place you can get away with matching outfits and not get to many weird looks.

Believe me, the rest of the matching outfits I've seen don't compare to yours!

i took it as a compliment glenn no worries...they were good luau shirts...but i would not wear them in the parks.

Good. No, they're not park attire, but perfect for an evening out.

Great update.....love seeing your meet up with Dan & Candi.
your pics of the Yeehaw Bob show. He is such a great show man & people really get into the show. It's such a fun addition to any Disney vacation...........& it's free like you said except for drinks.

Thanks. Fun and free -- what's better than that?!

Hey, I just noticed your Grand Canyon ticker. I'll have to talk to you about that sometime. I'm thinking of taking the family there next summer, and I'm not really sure what to plan. For example, I'm wondering things like is 3 days enough there or are there enough things to do to spend a whole week? If we combined it with a trip to Disneyland, should we drive to CA, with maybe a stop at Joshua Tree Nat'l Park? Just curious what your plans are.

 

[glennbo123]

Oops, my bad. That's what I get for assuming a bus driver would just naturally be a man.

I made the same mistake.

Too much time attending the glennbo university of building anticipation and readership I see.....

Whatever works!

We went to Hawai'i on a package tour. The first morning after we arrived, they got everyone that purchased the same package together, presented all these wonderful sightseeing/show packages for us to purchase if we wanted, and then bussed us to Hilo Hattie's in Honolulu so we could take care of all our clothing purchases up front. Of course, once you get out on the street you find many opportunities to purchase the same things for much less.

Sounds like you suspect a conspiracy.

 

[All7OfUs]

GREAT update, Glenn! You know I was really looking forward to this one, and you didn't disappoint!! Apparently, Bob rarely does that either! I simply can't wait!! Tell me, do the pictures of Bob cost anything?? I"d love a signed portrait! Can't wait to see the look on his face when I tell him I just moved back from Blankistan!! I'll have LeeAnn ready with the camera at that moment.

Anyway, having gotten busted for my outburst last time, I"ll just leave the phone in the pocket comment alone. And just say you need to change your settings.


The show goes til midnight, right. IF you stay for both sets. I was actually surprised you went to DTD after the show! I'll bet you were all tired in the morning! Hmmm... do they make it to RD??

What a fun meet!!! Glad you were all able to meet up! But yeah, I was wondering if you got to do much talking! Sophia and I had talked about doing our Meet at Jellyrolls, but again, maybe not the best forum for getting to know each other so well.

 

[glennbo123]

No, the pictures are free. He does sell CDs though. Maybe something for your sounds of Disney soundtrack?

I know it's killing you. Thanks.

I think it goes to midnight, but I've never made it past the 10 o'clock break.

Hmmm.....just have to wait and see.

What a fun meet!!! Glad you were all able to meet up! But yeah, I was wondering if you got to do much talking! Sophia and I had talked about doing our Meet at Jellyrolls, but again, maybe not the best forum for getting to know each other so well.

Fortunately we had about 15 or 20 minutes before the show that we could talk. We had a good time.

 

[All7OfUs]

Thanks. I know you were looking forward to this one!

So, one more question... were the 3 appies enough for you 5 to share for din-din?? Tell me about portion sizes. I may have to get some noshing material! To go with that mint julep; otherwise, I might mistakenly to up for the YMCA with the men.

No, the pictures are free. He does sell CDs though. Maybe something for your sounds of Disney soundtrack?

YES!! I should get one!! For my coolieo- ection.

I know it's killing you. Thanks.

You have no idea.

I think it goes to midnight, but I've never made it past the 10 o'clock break.

Hmmm.....just have to wait and see.

If I were to bet, you'll still make it; it's early in the trip.

Fortunately we had about 15 or 20 minutes before the show that we could talk. We had a good time.

Nice!!! But 15 minutes, is not nearly enough time. Well, unless you're a guy. They seem to need less.

 

[MEK]

I think I might have missed an update while I was out of town, but I loved reading about your Dis meet at Bob's show. That looks like so much fun.

I would love to see a picture of that pandora charm. I bet it is so cute.

Your family looks like they are having a great time. what a fun way to kick off a trip!

 

[marvali]

Yes, meeting DISers is great isn't it? They're the only people who understand our compulsions to do strange things, like take pictures of Disney food and stuff like that.

You mean while the rest of your family (the non-DISers) stands around and looks at you funny???

Something tells me it won't take you long to assemble that committee Marv.

As creator of the Judy-do game, I, uh, THEY already met! Sadly, I think it will be very difficult for Magdelene to accumulate any further points in the game.....

I wrote that with you in mind. I knew you'd have something to say about that particular picture being a lot better than the previous one.

I was a little concerned to start with when the picture went from two people down to only one. Then your commentary pointed out that there were indeed a total of three in the picture. I guess my eyesight is getting worse than I thought....

Yeah, well, it was "head, shoulders, knees, and toes".

Hey, if you were willing to have fun at the YMCA with the Village People.......

Since I'm not related to Candi, am I allowed to play?

Only if you don't violate Rule 2783.456.31, Subparagraph 289 about finding her in your own posted pictures!!! (BTW, I didn't want to mention this, but you took an awful lot of pictures of Dan's wife there bud )

I only had 1! And the Bud Lite Lime pucker inducer.

I was wondering why Judy had that giddy look of anticipation on her face. And I thought it was the wine......

Wait a second...I'm not the Mr. Potatohead that's referring to.

What ever you say there Mr. Potatohead!

I had a feeling he was taking note of names, but I didn't realize how many!

I'm guessing either that wireless system he uses when he sings is collecting data for him to use when needed, or he has a phonographic memory

Hey, I just noticed your Grand Canyon ticker. I'll have to talk to you about that sometime. I'm thinking of taking the family there next summer, and I'm not really sure what to plan.

If we combined it with a trip to Disneyland, should we drive to CA, with maybe a stop at Joshua Tree Nat'l Park? Just curious what your plans are.

Remind me sometime (or PM me) and I'll give you some input from our Grand Canyon trip a few years ago.

I made the same mistake.

I went back and read your TR. I don't normally make such insensitive, sexist assumptions. I should have suspected your wording in your TR led me astray!

Sounds like you suspect a conspiracy.

That's one way of putting it......

Can't wait to see the look on his face when I tell him I just moved back from Blankistan!! I'll have LeeAnn ready with the camera at that moment.

Can't wait to see that picture!

What a fun meet!!! Glad you were all able to meet up! But yeah, I was wondering if you got to do much talking! Sophia and I had talked about doing our Meet at Jellyrolls, but again, maybe not the best forum for getting to know each other so well.

For the most part, Jellyrolls isn't too bad. I met up with a TGM peep (Sheila) last year at Epcot, and then later on her last night DW and I met her at Jellyrolls for drinks and chats. It could get a little loud when the piano players are performing and everyone is joining in, but we were still able to have a good time getting to know each other a little better!

 

[marvali]

So, one more question... were the 3 appies enough for you 5 to share for din-din?? Tell me about portion sizes. I may have to get some noshing material! To go with that mint julep; otherwise, I might mistakenly to up for the YMCA with the men.

I'm guessing being up there with ALL OF THOSE MEN might not be by mistake!!!

Nice!!! But 15 minutes, is not nearly enough time. Well, unless you're a guy. They seem to need less.

If you go back to your picture from the hike, there might be a clue there somewhere......

 

[KatMark]

I am trying to catch up on all my threads as I don't know if I'll be able to get on tomorrow and Mark's surgery is Wednesday, and was happy to see I didn't miss your update by too much time.

Wow...you guys sure had a fun time at the show and a great DIS meet on top of it.

 

[All7OfUs]

For the most part, Jellyrolls isn't too bad. I met up with a TGM peep (Sheila) last year at Epcot, and then later on her last night DW and I met her at Jellyrolls for drinks and chats.

That's good to hear. We women LIKE to talk (I'm sure you're well aware of this) and so I'm glad Jellyrolls will allow at least a little.

I'm guessing being up there with ALL OF THOSE MEN might not be by mistake!!!

If you go back to your picture from the hike, there might be a clue there somewhere......

Well, I dunno, YMCAing with my arm flab awavin'- I"m not sure how long I'd have company. However, it'd be a nice start anyway.

Are they too busy taking care of "other business"? Is that what yur sayin', Marv?

 

[eandesmom]

Yes, I discovered a culinary combo that you don't want.

We had a great time. I think my pictures got better as I had more beer (or was it that I was remembering how to use camera settings that I hadn't used since last year?).

Those same rules apply to darts and pool...though it is a bell curve....

 

[Flossbolna]

Since Magdelene invoked the little known "global" Judy-do sighting rule to collect all the points in this round, I will refrain from any further comments about her underhanded manipulation of the rules and just say . I do, however, see a need for an emergency meeting of the rules committee to discuss an addendum for time zone adjustment.

I thought I said that I left the points to be collected by others... But it appears that I am out of the game anyway since the committee has already sat and probably invented a rule that says that my post will always considered to be later than Marv's. I guess the date line and daylight saving time will play a role in that...

being from germany i think u would lean more to the dogfish beer.

I looked into this issue and it appears that it might be similar to our Beck's Green Lemon. Which I actually like quite a bit. It is a version of the beer with sprite which is a very popular drink here in Germany.

If we combined it with a trip to Disneyland, should we drive to CA, with maybe a stop at Joshua Tree Nat'l Park? Just curious what your plans are.

When I was in CA in 2005 we went to Palm Springs for a couple of days mainly to check out Joshua Tree National Park. It was an interesting excursion and we really enjoyed it, but I think it isn't really a destination as such. Also it was baking hot there in early October!! But if you drove from Grand Canyon to DL, it might be a good stop along the way!

 

[marvali]

That's good to hear. We women LIKE to talk (I'm sure you're well aware of this) and so I'm glad Jellyrolls will allow at least a little.

Unh-unh! Well color me surprised at that revelation!

Well, I dunno, YMCAing with my arm flab awavin'- I"m not sure how long I'd have company. However, it'd be a nice start anyway.

Some guys actually like that!

Are they too busy taking care of "other business"? Is that what yur sayin', Marv?

At the risk of turning the rating on Glenn's thread to PG-13 (or higher), I was thinking more along the lines of "keeping the engine warm." You know, it's along the lines of that old "Women are like irons, men are like light switches" adage. (Geez if I have to explain 'em....)

I thought I said that I left the points to be collected by others... But it appears that I am out of the game anyway since the committee has already sat and probably invented a rule that says that my post will always considered to be later than Marv's. I guess the date line and daylight saving time will play a role in that...

Don't forget global warming, the size of the polar ice caps, the tilt of the earth, position of the moon in the sky, and distance from the prime meridian and the equator, combined in a Pythagorean theorem sort of way!!! You can still play, but I wouldn't count on any sympathy when filing appeals with the rules committee!

 

[glennbo123]

So, one more question... were the 3 appies enough for you 5 to share for din-din?? Tell me about portion sizes. I may have to get some noshing material! To go with that mint julep; otherwise, I might mistakenly to up for the YMCA with the men.

Yes, they were. We weren't real hungry, so that helped. But they were pretty good-sized portions.

You have no idea.

If I were to bet, you'll still make it; it's early in the trip.

You're just gonna hafta wait!

Nice!!! But 15 minutes, is not nearly enough time. Well, unless you're a guy. They seem to need less.

15 minutes is more than enough time.

I think I might have missed an update while I was out of town, but I loved reading about your Dis meet at Bob's show. That looks like so much fun.

I would love to see a picture of that pandora charm. I bet it is so cute.

Your family looks like they are having a great time. what a fun way to kick off a trip!

Hmm, I don't remember where you left off. The chapter before this last one was about my headache and then a visit to the Coronado Springs pool. If you remember that, then you're all caught up. If not, there's a link in the 2nd post of the thread.

The pandora charm is on a business trip to a PChef conference for a few days with its owner. I thought I'd just find one online, but that is proving harder than I thought it would. It's kind of like this one, but I don't think the bow was quite so prominent.

It was a great way to start the trip, for sure!

You mean while the rest of your family (the non-DISers) stands around and looks at you funny???

No, they're used to it now. They just push their plate toward me for the picture without even being asked.

As creator of the Judy-do game, I, uh, THEY already met! Sadly, I think it will be very difficult for Magdelene to accumulate any further points in the game.....

Shocking outcome from the, uh, committee! (Imagine me doing "air quotes" while saying "committee".)

I was a little concerned to start with when the picture went from two people down to only one. Then your commentary pointed out that there were indeed a total of three in the picture. I guess my eyesight is getting worse than I thought....

What do they say? Eyesight is the second thing to go?

Hey, if you were willing to have fun at the YMCA with the Village People.......

Not that there's anything wrong with being a Village Person.

I'm guessing either that wireless system he uses when he sings is collecting data for him to use when needed, or he has a phonographic memory

Phonographic memory? Is that like a zero-gravity pool?

I went back and read your TR. I don't normally make such insensitive, sexist assumptions.

You forgot to add the word "much" at the end there.

I should have suspected your wording in your TR led me astray!

I almost wrote earlier that I may have led you astray, but I thought "aah, let 'im figure it out himself!"

I am trying to catch up on all my threads as I don't know if I'll be able to get on tomorrow and Mark's surgery is Wednesday, and was happy to see I didn't miss your update by too much time.

No, you're right on time. Tell Mark we'll be thinking about him.

Wow...you guys sure had a fun time at the show and a great DIS meet on top of it.

The DISmeet was icing on the cake.

That's good to hear. We women LIKE to talk (I'm sure you're well aware of this) and so I'm glad Jellyrolls will allow at least a little.

I was going to write "shocker" but Marv beat me to it.

Well, I dunno, YMCAing with my arm flab awavin'- I"m not sure how long I'd have company. However, it'd be a nice start anyway.

There you go with that arm flab stuff again. I'm not buyin' it.

Those same rules apply to darts and pool...though it is a bell curve....

I like the bell curve concept. I'm sure it's true! Probably also applies to writing hit rock songs.

I thought I said that I left the points to be collected by others... But it appears that I am out of the game anyway since the committee has already sat and probably invented a rule that says that my post will always considered to be later than Marv's. I guess the date line and daylight saving time will play a role in that...

Do they have an expression similar to "you can't fight city hall" in German?

I looked into this issue and it appears that it might be similar to our Beck's Green Lemon. Which I actually like quite a bit. It is a version of the beer with sprite which is a very popular drink here in Germany.

I just can't imagine beer and Sprite.

When I was in CA in 2005 we went to Palm Springs for a couple of days mainly to check out Joshua Tree National Park. It was an interesting excursion and we really enjoyed it, but I think it isn't really a destination as such. Also it was baking hot there in early October!! But if you drove from Grand Canyon to DL, it might be a good stop along the way!

Good info!

Some guys actually like that!

The ones who need fanning because it's so hot in Florida this time of year.

At the risk of turning the rating on Glenn's thread to PG-13 (or higher), I was thinking more along the lines of "keeping the engine warm." You know, it's along the lines of that old "Women are like irons, men are like light switches" adage. (Geez if I have to explain 'em....)

Don't forget global warming, the size of the polar ice caps, the tilt of the earth, position of the moon in the sky, and distance from the prime meridian and the equator, combined in a Pythagorean theorem sort of way!!! You can still play, but I wouldn't count on any sympathy when filing appeals with the rules committee!

Like I said Magdalene, if you've got a German expression that means the same as "you can't fight city hall", now's the time to use it.

Yes, meeting DISers is great isn't it? They're the only people who understand our compulsions to do strange things, like take pictures of Disney food and stuff like that.

Not only Disney food... but the eventual spilling over into every day life. I was at the Keg a couple weeks ago and when they placed the plate of food in front me, I thought to myself "Hey, this would make for some great food porn -- oh wait, it's not Disney" And I wouldn't call it strange.... just "special"

I'm onto you Jenbear!

What I do?! What I do?! Are you afraid I'd steal away Yee-haw Bob??

No, they're used to it now. They just push their plate toward me for the picture without even being asked.

You ARE the man!

Shocking outcome from the, uh, committee! (Imagine me doing "air quotes" while saying "committee".)

I hate those dang air quotes!

What do they say? Eyesight is the second thing to go?

I really should know the answer to this, but I can't remember.....

Phonographic memory? Is that like a zero-gravity pool?

That was on purpose, sorta like something being a "fragment" of your imagination. My other choice had to do with subbing an "r" for the first "h" with a slight alteration in the order.....

I almost wrote earlier that I may have led you astray, but I thought "aah, let 'im figure it out himself!"

To quote a famous DISer, I may have been born at night......

The ones who need fanning because it's so hot in Florida this time of year.

Now that's funny!

Like I said Magdalene, if you've got a German expression that means the same as "you can't fight city hall", now's the time to use it.

Okay, waiting on more German lessons!
