10-Any site that ends in the word "buzz" sucks. (Well, except if there were a site named "hamsterbuzz") 9-The community here shares anything and everything about their experiences. 8-I haven't witnessed flames yet. If they were here, R&E did a good job! 7-The script used to create this message forum works! 6-It enhances good feeling when drinking volumes of wine. 5-RODENTS! 4-You can just read these boards, and actually be entertained, or even learn something, without having to participate. 3-Well, it's either this, or free on-line porn... 2-I can spend more than 2 minutes here. 1-The best videos on the planet! WE LOVE TPR!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only got to see 3 pages, I exceeded their daily x-fer limit. But ZOINKS! Talk about extreme.

For those of you familiar with AOL, (Trust me, I only use it for it's awesome radio service and it's a great spamming device. LOL) their front page today is featuring "Top 10 Theme Park Thrills", based soley on "largest this and first that". And believe me, I think everyone will disagree with this list, and certainly doesn't take into consideration that "bigger isn't better". Their content editors are smoking crack, I swear! 10-Drop Zone Stunt Tower (KD-highest drop ride) 9-Borg Assimilator (Carowinds-south's loopiest coaster) 8-Son of Beast (KI-tallest wood coaster) 7-Noah's Ark Family Park (US's largest waterpark) 6-Scream (SFMM-first floorless in So-Cal) 5-Morey's Piers (Largest Seaside Park) 4-Texas Star (Largest Ferris wheel) 3-Lake Compounce (Oldest US park) 2-Top Thrill Dragster (CP-tallest/fastest coaster) 1-Insanity (Strat-world's scariest chair) OK, you can stop laughing now.... (EDIT: Darn spelling errors!)

Yes, Hammy is part of our family.

OMFG! This is the most histerical thing I've seen all year! DenDen "spit coffee out of his nose".

Meet Hammy! Hammy, waking up in the morning.

He makes moolah from syndication of Full House. (I hate that show, but always seem to run into it on the satelite.) The guy doesn't have to work another day in his life, as long as he had a good financial planner.

WOW! You can't blame the Fab-5 for this one, we queer guys have much better fashion sense. (LOL) DenDen "Thinks Bill Gates did it!"

Oh, I forgot to mention, I worked at Circus Circus Las Vegas from 92-98. Though, technically not a theme park, and I didn't work in the adverture dome, don't we all theink Vegas is the theme park for adults? DenDen "I miss my lunch times on Canyon Blaster!"

^ Thanks!!!! WOW! It is impressive. Any news on how they're making it "more efficient" other than the obvious size of the entrance? I remember a while back, (late 80's to early 90's) they used to have self-serve admission ticket machines which were way ahead of their time, since they weren't popular, and people weren't confident enough then to trust a machine to make a purchase with plastic in those days. I always used those things.

Great TR! KW is the only reason I miss Pittsburgh. I was lucky enough to make a trip last year. Was totally blown away by Phantom's Revenge. Especially after riding the original over 250 times. Can't wait for someone to post finished pictures of the entrance. From what I saw, it looked really impressive during construction. DenDen "is waiting for the next hurricane season!"

Martyn pretty much explained it to a T. Phishers send these emails to randomly generated email addresses. (Just as many spammers do.) Larger email providers are always easy targets. (AOL, GMAIL, Hotmail, etc...) As I've been telling my computer-using friends for years... 1)Anything sold via email is a scam. 2)NOBODY legitimate asks for ANY information about you, or any financially linked accounts of any kind, via an email message. 3)You will NOT make any money from businesses/transaction posted in an email message! 4)If you don't scan ALL EMAILS & FILE ATTATCHMENTS, you deserve the virus, Spyware, or Phish. Or better yet, sell the computer and get yourself WebTV (MSNTV). DenDen "doesn't use GMail because if the privacy concerns".

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned Ashley Simpson. The ONLY reason she's in the business is because of her sister's name, and her baptist minister father who has sold all their souls to the devil. She's ugly, she can't sing worth a crap, she's a total phony. At least Jessica can sing, and is pretty.

Can I have.... "I can believe it's not butter!" thanks DenDen "loves his butter".

I'm still upset that they still use the Napster name. I wonder how many have been fooled by that. Dennis "records his own digital music files from AOL Radio and an SB Audigy, the legal way!".

Now that the foliage is growing in, it looks like a very nice place. Almost as lush as Kennywood. I may have to take a trip up there, just to take some pictures for my artwork. Great trip report! Dennis "is drinking too much International Delights Southern Butter Pecan".

Kennywood 88-89. Parking Lot Nerd. :dork:

As always, fantastically entertaining video!

^LOL, good one! Love my new job. My website has gotten sponsorships (plural!) for the 1st time in 4 years. My partner isn't a wacko! Got a cool new cell phone plan.

I was an ACEr from 1989 to 1991. After they ripped me off a half-a-year of newsletters, and the politics became an annoyance, (it was a bad time back then) I just let it go. To me, ACE just hasn't kept up with technology, and isn't an exclusive, elite group it used to be.

Registered Trademarks protect icons, logos, and mottos. (ie. trademarks) Patents protect unique technologies. (A coaster's technology, but not a design using the technology.) But a coaster's lay-out could be copyrighted, via protecting the blueprint. But the reason behind doing a cookie-cutter is that it's a money-saver, a design team of engineers doesn't have to be hired, so the trend will continue, if not get worse.

I like the classic nokia cat commercial. (poor kitty, LOL) http://www.basementv.com/commercials/btv-com-006.html It's actually a fake ad, but nokia took a lot of flack from it, even when they had nothing to do with it. LOL

http://www.rathergood.com/ These are the guys that made the quisnos spongemonkeys and the VH1 rockin kittens, they do very funny "music videos". (This one is for Sharktums! http://www.rathergood.com/datsuns/ <

Hey Robb, How about me? http://hotmotion.com/1/sampleman7.mp3 This is a song I'm writing for my next CD, this is just an instrumental... DenDen
