Two HotT College Chicks and a Cowboy Take on the World

[CPM]

You know what, you might think that given the fact that I got this woman a discount and free park passes and drove her around she would want to be nice to me or something.

Se, if you had gotten me a sweet room deal like that, I would have spent an extra night with you and maybe I wouldn't have even whined Just sayin'

 

[babynurse1]

OK, E, I guess I love John Stockton now too. But not in a creepy way. Oh no.

But ya gotta admit - he's no Larry Bird...

Well, I'm glad you have learned the error of your ways.


Here's the thing, I realize that John Stockton was not the best player to ever grace an NBA basketball court, but I love him anyway. Call me wIerd. No, don't, it's already been done.


As for Larry Bird, well we all know that he IS arguably the best player to ever grace the basketball court. DH and I had a discussion not too long ago. Jordan or Bird, which was the greatest?

It was actually a very interesting "discussion". Dh decided to go with Bird. I think it helps that he's from Indiana (the hick from French Lick), and he was a bit more old school, which dh likes. I said Jordan by a nose.

Can I please just stop writing this TR and talk basketball or football or baseball or rodeo instead?

Fine, back to the TR.

 

[babynurse1]

We approach TOT and see a long line. It's wrapped all the way around past the bathrooms. The sign says: 45 minute wait. We decide that's not too bad, and get in line. Besides, when we're through at TOT, we can use our FP for RNR.

Standing.

Waiting.

Line not moving.

Babynurse can be a TAD impatient. Plus, I like to figure things out. I'm beginning to think we're having the Disney wool pulled over our eyes. I feel like we're are part of a vast line waiting conspiracy. I decide to take the bull by the horns.

"Come on Peej" and I grab her by the arm.

"Where are we going?" She looks at me. Then she looks at Mr. T and I swear she whispered "help me."

But, RonStoppable just shrugs his shoulders and smiles.

We head to the FP entrance, where I knew there would be a CM hanging around. PJ's right about one thing. CM's certainly know how to look busy, while doing absolutely nothing.

I wait patiently for a second. Hey, one second is pretty patient for me. But TOT guy won't make eye contact. AHA! Just as I suspected, they're holding out on us. I am emboldened by this discovery. However, bbn can be a bit shy at times. I'm starting to lose my nerve. I really don't want to talk to the CM, but my impatience and curiosity are beginning to override my shy-like qualities. I look around quickly and notice that they keep herding us in like cattle, but I shore as helk don't see or hear any elevators dropping. What kind of Mickey Mouse operation are they running here anyway?

I think PJ gives me a little push, and nods toward the CM.

*ahem*. nothing. "excuse me* nothing. *Ahem* nothing

*gulp* "HEY!" That got his attention.

"Um, yes, excuse me, I, well, we, well not really her, b/c she's not very observant, so I recant my statement and will go with my original thought. Allow me to clarify. I noticed the sign says there is a 45 minute wait to ride the TOT. However, from past experience, it appears that this line is really long for a 45 minute wait. In your best estimation, would it be a fair to assume that this time is not accurate?"

Oko, Peej can totally back me up on this one. The CM looks at me incredulously. He even has the NERVE to give me a David Putty smug laugh. AND he speaks to me in a tone that suggests my doctor had been mistaken to allow me out on a day pass.

"WHY.... would you believe .....the sign?"

That ticked bbn off. I scowled at him. "WHY.... would I not.... believe the sign?!?!"

"Well," he replies flippantly "the sign is not accurate. The wait is at least an hour and a half"

PJ, did we or did we not tell him to have a Magical*somethingnotnice*Day?

I saw that look of sweet relief on your face, PeeJay. Don't think for minute that I didn't, cuz I did. But you don't know me. I'm a persistent lil bbn. That look has only confirmed to me that you will overcome your fear of TOT. Today will be the day. A new beginning on life. You will spread your little pirateballerina wings and fly. Besides, TOT is tame, by "thrill" ride standards. There ain't nuthin' to be scared of. trust me. ...

 

[babynurse1]

Who knows the song? Told ya I'm always singing.


Yup, off we walk down the boulevard....AGAIN!!!!!

At this point we triple dog dare RonStoppable to do something while walking, and we completely lost it when he did. BUT, BUT, BUT he made us PROMISE not to put it in the TR, nor were we ever to speak of it again. And as you know a trollop NEVER breaks a promise. PJ: Mr. T said to remind you that he backed you up on my smartypantsness, so you definitely owe him. Plus, he was the one who invited you to the Colts game. Plus, he has the axe.

We end up at Star Tours. This is ds-8's favorite ride. Last time we were there we met 2 stormtroopers after the ride broke down while we were on it. When Ethan saw those stormtroopers, he about Pirates of Penzanced (This is a "Pretty Woman" reference, and a pretty funny one too---so google it. now! p.s. I know Twink got it. lol)

RonStoppable points to one of the robots in line and tells PJ "If you can tell me that robot's name, I will give you $100"

"ooooo, oooo. Can I play? Pick me! Pick me!"

Mr. T says I can't play. harumph!

Silence. PJ smiles and nods.

"She doesn't know!" I say. "It's R5D4. What do I win?"

Mr. T smiles sweetly. too sweetly. "How about a trip to WDW for MY birthday?" Oooo, he's being a smartypants. Be still my heart.

PJ, if you'll recall, that right then and there you said to me "How do you know all this stuff?" I think that was the exact moment you realized you were in the presence of a genius. Was that overwhelming for you?

The ride was different. It was shorter. They either edited it or it was broken. Great, I bet all the rides at MGM are having "technical difficulties" But as God is my witness, PJ will ride TOT before I go back to Mamacan'tfindyou, Indiana. ;-)

Of course, after the ride we are deposited into the loving arms of the Star Tours gift shop. Isn't it amazing how the Imagineers didn't drop the ball on this one? The Star Tours gift shop is to Ethan what the POTC gift shop is to me, I mean dd. Yes, I most definitely meant dd.

PJ is actually surprised I showed so much restraint and didn't completely break the bank here, but I did deluge her with Ethan stories. "Last time we were here, Ethan tried on this, and he really liked this shirt. Did you know he was Darth Vader for Halloween one year?" On and on I rambled. PJ did humor me during my mini mommy moment, and even feigned interest. So I'm giving her a big shout out and props right here for all the disboards to see.

 

[babynurse1]

I think that this is a guy thing b/c my husband does this all the time on the bus. It is annoying, I keep threatening to not wake him up when we get to our stop. I wonder how long it would take for him to wake up and get off the bus???

aquagirl. This is annonying to a nonsleeper, such as myself. There will be more on his sleep habits to come.

Thanks for reading along.

 

[TwinkieMama]

Coveted FP's in hand we headed over to Tower of Terror which was....down. Oh DARN. Allow me to try to contain my excitement at that development!!!! There were many occurances in this day that made it look like ToT was going to be a no go. Each time was just as exciting as the last! Oh well, too bad, no ToT, time to move on!

Babynurse- at any point did occur to you that she was using her secret magical CM powers to prevent the ToT experience?

Even though I escaped the danger on ToT as it turned out there was still plenty of time for me to be berated on the Great Movie Ride. You just can't win with that woman. If it's not death by elevator it's humiliation d/t lack of movie knowledge.

It was actually a very interesting "discussion". Dh decided to go with Bird. I think it helps that he's from Indiana (the hick from French Lick), and he was a bit more old school, which dh likes.

Oh. My. Further evidence that they are indeed the same person. Mr. T had other reasons for picking Bird but I don't need to recount them here since I am sure that you already heard them.

When Ethan saw those stormtroopers, he about Pirates of Penzanced (This is a "Pretty Woman" reference, and a pretty funny one too---so google it. now! p.s. I know Twink got it. lol)

Excellent verbing of a noun there! A proper noun at that. I am going to start saying this as well... unless of course you are going to trademark it?

PJ's right about one thing. CM's certainly know how to look busy, while doing absolutely nothing.

This skill seems to be developing in many industries.

 

[babynurse1]

1.


2. Oh. My. Further evidence that they are indeed the same person. Mr. T had other reasons for picking Bird but I don't need to recount them here since I am sure that you already heard them.



3. Excellent verbing of a noun there! A proper noun at that. I am going to start saying this as well... unless of course you are going to trademark it?

1. HEY! It's not THAT funny. I see PJ gots lots of these: and I got one: Fine, rub my amateur status in my face...again.

2. I didn't want to bore the "nonsport" members of my TR audience, but I will be happy to discuss this with you via pm or chat. Also, tell him we're running low on milk and Reese's. Thanks you're the best sistah-wife ever.

3. I think it's already trademarked, but only as a noun. I wonder if I could trademark it as a verb. Perhaps a consult with a lawyer is in order.

Gosh, wish I knew not one, but two attorneys that have posted on this very TR. I was going to tell a lawyer joke, but I didn't want to a.) be reminded that I'm not funny and b.) tick off any of the lawyers I know in case I decide to pursue the Pirates of Penzance trademark, or I might need some help with that pending case re: a tram, my dd, and that nice, sweet lady from Brazil.

 

[celerystalker]

hehehe.
I take back my earlier post.
Y'all are WIerd.
wait.
wEird?
aww shucks.
y'all are funny!

 

[lalijack]

In light of Larry Bird's previous connection with my local NBA team (that'd be the Celtics), I'm gonna cast my vote for him too. Not that anyone asked me. But...what-evah.

Excellent verbing of a noun there! A proper noun at that. I am going to start saying this as well... unless of course you are going to trademark it?

"he about Pirates of Penzanced" .... All in favor of adopting the newly verb-ified noun into the official lexicon, say "Aye". All opposed, shaddup.

Jordan vs. Bird Commercial

Sure you can as soon as you get past the monkey story.

"She doesn't know!" I say. "It's R5D4. What do I win?"

Wow! I don't think I ever noticed that R5D4 hangs out at that ride. How different might life have been if R5D4's motivator hadn't shorted out and Uncle Owen had gone through with that purchase?

[Minnie_Moo]

When Ethan saw those stormtroopers, he about Pirates of Penzanced (This is a "Pretty Woman" reference, and a pretty funny one too---so google it. now! p.s. I know Twink got it. lol)

Ooh, ooh! Finally, a movie reference that I understood!!!

"he about Pirates of Penzanced" .... All in favor of adopting the newly verb-ified noun into the official lexicon, say "Aye". All opposed, shaddup.

AYE!

BTW, PJ, I am toadily with you on Tower of Terror. And Tammy. And Marita. And all the other

I think Mr. Trollop would still be riding the bus between the Contemporary and MGM. I was both impressed and jealous of his sleeping skilz.

Just a technicality, Peej, but I wanted to let you know that Crazynurse Ranch is actually located in Mamacan'tfindyou, Indiana. That's about 25 miles south of Middle-of-Nowhere. Didn't want you Mapquesting the wrong place when you go to this football game that you're never going to attend.

Carry on.

Okay, you absolutely KILL me!!! It's decided. There was some debate but it's now official...you are the funniest person on the DIS. And thanks, I can better stalk Elisabeth now. But if mamacan'tfindher how will I find her?

If only there was some way, some plan, even in writing maybe, that could cure you of this. Well, hey, at least you knew Singing in the Rain.

-- Rob

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. And I'm not even kidding. You're welcome to clarify.

Se, if you had gotten me a sweet room deal like that, I would have spent an extra night with you and maybe I wouldn't have even whined Just sayin'

I offered you a discount but you wouldn't decide in time. Maybe if you had planned better in advance!

But I wanna tell!! Can I just say that only you and I did it and pretend he didn't participate. These people aren't really all that smart. You're going to have to bribe me if you want me to keep my mouth shut.

(This is a "Pretty Woman" reference, and a pretty funny one too---so google it. now! p.s. I know Twink got it. lol)

Can someone just tell me what this means? I don't like doing my own work.

PJ, if you'll recall, that right then and there you said to me "How do you know all this stuff?" I think that was the exact moment you realized you were in the presence of a genius. Was that overwhelming for you?

I was actually just thinking to myself...OMGosh what kind of a freak would know all this stuff...but what I said was "how do you know all this stuff?" I was trying to be nice.

PJ is actually surprised I showed so much restraint and didn't completely break the bank here, but I did deluge her with Ethan stories. "Last time we were here, Ethan tried on this, and he really liked this shirt. Did you know he was Darth Vader for Halloween one year?" On and on I rambled.

Perhaps you haven't noticed my profession of choice. I'll help you...it's teacher. I like children, particularly the ages of your youngest 2. Thanks for finally letting the people of the DIS finally know that I'm not really all bad. Love you too!

Shhh!!!!!!!

Thank you, thankyouverymuch!

hehehe.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Don't hold your breath.

BTW, PJ, I am toadily with you on Tower of Terror. And Tammy. And Marita. And all the other

I'm not a chicken, I'm very brave, Mr. Trollop said so!

 

[lalijack]

Okay, you absolutely KILL me!!! It's decided. There was some debate but it's now official...you are the funniest person on the DIS. And thanks, I can better stalk Elisabeth now. But if mamacan'tfindher how will I find her?

Not to worry, Peej. Remember, I've been living just outside E's kitchen window. Just give me a heads up when you're en route to Crazynurse Ranch. I'll go stand in the middle of the road, and I'll flag you down. See? I've totally got your back!

Oh, and thanks for the props! 1-4-3!!!!!!

4. Love you too!

1. I don't think you should cross him. The ONLY person who is permitted to do this is me...and Twink of course.

2. Old Lady at Opera: Did you like the opera, dear?
Vivian: It was so good, I almost peed my pants!
Edward Lewis: She said she liked it better than Pirates of Penzance.


3. well, thank you!

4. slurp?

I'm not a chicken, I'm very brave, Mr. Trollop said so!

When did he say that?

I'll go stand in the middle of the road, and I'll flag you down.

watch out, my horse might be there.

 

[babynurse1]

My agenda is now shot to h-e-double hockey sticks. The ToT and it's technical difficulties have screwed it up big time. Actually, I don't have much of an agenda this trip. I don't even know what I'm doing in Florida, at the spur of the moment without my children. I wonder if it even happened, it seems so surreal. But I'm writing this TR and there are pics, so I'm guessing I was really there.


After the ride, we took a pic of us on the speeder bike from Star Wars. But PJ was wearing a dress, and wanted to sit on it all lady like, so the picture is carp. I'm not including it. We look, let me use my language sensitivity, dumb. Is that word ok, PJ?


We meander towards Muppet Vision 3-D. Shall we go in? I made the last decision, somebody else's turn. RonStoppable says "yes, let's go in." RonStoppable tells PJ he used to watch "The Muppet Show" as a kid, and I chimed in that my favorite episode was the one with Christopher Reeve and Mark Hamill. Dh said his was the one with James Coburn.

PJ isn't saying anything.

I ask her " Do you know who Christopher Reeve, Mark Hamill, and James Coburn are?"

smiling

"Hang on!" I say, as it begins to dawn on me the magnitude of this situation. "Do you know what 'The Muppet Show' is?"

nodding

PJ replies "Did you ever watch 'Muppet Babies'?"

Mr. Trollop replies "I was about 16 when that show came out, I had OTHER things to be interested in."

I think now is a good time to start singing "Muppet Babies, we make our dreEms come true. Muppet Babies......" I forgot the next line

Mr. Trollop looks at me "Muppet Babies are not even in the same league as the original 'Muppet Show'"

Hmmmm, I think I will agree with him on this statement, but now I'm distracted. Dangit. I can't remember the next line of the song. I ask PJ. So, of course, we have to start over from the beginning.

"Muppet Babies, we make our dreEms come true. Muppet Babies....

We were many, but now we're few?
We turn kids brains to glue?
Go read 'The Taming of the Shrew'?

We got nothing. normally, if I don't know a line to song, I just make one up. My kids never notice, or they like my version better. But PJ wont stand for it. We agree to google it. Mr. Trollop agrees never to hang out in public with us again.

Our merry trio, did receive a dirty look while waiting in the holding area. But, Mr. Trollop made us laugh. Apparently, this is frowned upon by some. The holding area must be a sacred muppet burial ground or sumpthin'. No LAUGHING!!!! Where do we think we are? Disneyworld? The Happiest Place on Earth? Sheesh, how dare we enjoy ourselves! If that makes us freaks, well then shut my mouth and call me freaky. Huh? I have no idea what that just meant.

Yes, ladies and gentleman, for the second time that day, I poke PJ and point to Mr. T. Oh yeah, he's asleep. Before Miss Piggy can sing her song, he's out like the proverbial lightbulb. He did it again. He can't understand why I can't go to sleep at will. He tells me he just closes his eyes, tells his brain to shut it down, and BAM! he's asleep. Not me. Here's what happens when I try that.

Close my eyes.

I tell my brain to shut it down.

My brain says "Why?" Is your own brain supposed to be argumentative?

I try it again.

Eyes closed.

"Brain, shut it down, because I'm tired." I figure maybe this will work, b/c I have now given my brain a reason.

But my brain says "If I shut it down completely, then you'll quit breathing. But fine, I'd like to go on a little vacation. I'll shut everything down, I'm sick of these 24/7 hours I have to keep. Besides there's life happening all around you. Get up! Have fun!! We'll miss something."

I ask Mr. Trollop if this has ever occured to him. He thinks I'm kidding. He laughs. I laugh too. Of course, that's never happened. I was just foolin' ya. heh.

We exit the Muppet Vision 3-D, and decide to try ToT one more time. Told ya I'm a persistent lil bbn. and persuasive.


I have to go to lunch with a friend. This part time nurse, full time house mommy is hard work! Maybe I'll finally get to the ToT before the day is through.

 

[babynurse1]

Almost forgot! We made a pit stop at the Singin' In the Rain umbrella, b/c it's a rite of...well, you guys know.


PJ didn't want to get her picture with me. She said something like "It's your movie." Can't you come up with a better excuse than that for not getting your picture with me? At least be truthful, and say "you embarrass me, or your deodorant isn't holding up in this 110 degree weather (btw, it did. I smell very nice.)" I spell nice too. Or was that a previous installment?


Anyhoo, we got a picture but it's carp too. Seriously, we need a new photographer in our group. Sheesh.

PJ wouldn't dance in the rain with me either. Party Poopers. hee hee

OKO, NOW on to the ToT. but not now, later. bye.
