So you are using both a card and tickets? Weird system.

So, I accepted the position I was negotiating and I am currently at headquarters for week 2 of training, just 3 miles from Knoebels. We will be waiting for the new office in my area to open in a couple of weeks. Basically, to keep the company name confidential, I am now working within the amusement industry. I am working for a ticket manufacturer. I'll actually be posting a thread within the next few days that I think will interest a lot of you.

If anyone is interested, I haven't been able to post anything in the past week because I have been training at my new job at their headquarters. I do have pictures on tap to get posted and will do so when I return home on either Wednesday or Thursday. Good vegan breakfast.

I give him a pass on this statement because Great America was put on the market by Cedar Fair before the transaction was final. They wanted to sell that place from the beginning.

I like fat people. They make me look attractive.

I doesn't matter that the Paramount parks aren't listed as potential sales. They took on a considerable amount of debt and added expenses with those parks. Cedar Fair was a very solid and stable company before they made that purchase.

^ And cheese and beef and chicken and turkey and fish and......

Looking through the database, we actually lost a quote to Sahara Sam's a few months back. Interesting stuff. Will you guys be using ticket eaters or munchers there, or will you be weighing your tickets from the arcade? I think I might have to check this place out.

I'm wondering if they are kicking themselves now over the purchase of the Paramount properties.

From what I have heard, it is going to be a kicked up version of Miler family coaster. I guess a few that Dick and the crew looked at weren't aggressive enough, so they are going to take matters into their own hands. I drove by the job fair at Knoebels the other day, and it was definitely odd to not see HSTC.

It's been like that all week. The thing is, I don't really know what happened to T.O. He seemed like a great guy for a while in the league. Then, he caught that winning pass in the playoffs against Green Bay a while back, and then he just started to change. I'm really glad Snyder didn't open his checkbook for him. I think I would have died with that on top of the signing of Haynesworth.

WTF?

I don't. Though, when I did eat it, I had a saying "Everything is better with bacon". I actually still use that saying, but I just use fake bacon or Bacos (yes, Bacos are vegan).

Are you guys the same person? It just so happens that you each have the same avatar, but then when you just posted, the avatar for Superstar94 disappeared. Glitch, or double account action going on? Just wondering...

Give it your all and good luck.

Pretty cool stuff Gerd. We had Thai last Friday, and they offered something pretty similar to the salmon you made with tofu. I hate tofu so I didn't try it, but seeing it made even with the salmon makes it look pretty good.

I know dude. I was just messing with you. Good luck with the site. Hopefully it takes off for you. You just have some stiff competition with sites like BGEscape.

Boston is going to sign Marbury. Discuss.

Once again I say, there is more than one theme park in Virginia?! MOD EDIT by larrygator: in this case the phrase "If you build, it they will come" does not apply.

Wait, there is more than one theme park in Virginia?!

Since I've been home during the days now that I'm out of work (that will change come Monday thank God) Tricia has been coming home from work for lunch (since she only works about 2 miles down the road from the new house). So I've been in charge of lunch prep work lately. Today I went back to the fryer once again, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a heart attack within the next day or so because of it. I made a pretty simple polenta dish. Polenta is an Italian staple. It is made from boiled cornmeal, and can come in many forms, either as a "gruel" or porridge, or in the packaged form found in grocery stores that will be shown below. Although it isn't very flavorful, it is very versatile, and can be baked and flavored up well with tomato sauce. It used to be kind of an Italian peasant food, but has grown more prominent over the years. Fried Polenta Sticks Serve with your favorite marinara sauce, and you have yourself a pretty nice little lunch! 4-5 minutes later, the sticks go onto the papertowels. They will come out a light brown color and don't really completely golden. Once again, this is the perfect time to season them with whatever you want (a little extra salt and pepper did the trick for me). While waiting for the sticks to fry, I made quick simple salads with some romaine hearts, butter lettuce, vine rippened tomatoes and white mushrooms. Because let's face it, with all of the fried crap I've been eating over the past few days, I need to put something decent into my body. ..... and watch those suckers fry. Place the sticks into the basket of the 375 degree pre-heated fryer.... Set each aside on wax paper until all of the sticks are covered. After dipping into the oil, roll the polenta into the mixed cornmeal mixture until covered. Next will come the fun part. Prepare a dredging station of olive oil, and a bowl of cornmeal seasoned with salt, pepper, parsley and rosemary. After that I cut the polenta into sticks about the size of mozzarella sticks. An 18oz. package of polenta will yield about 20-25 of these sticks depending on the size you cut them. I cut the polenta into quarters and then cut the quarters into the sticks shown. When you unwrap the polenta you will find that it has a very smooth exterior. For the purpose of this, I cut off the ends and the smooth outer layer to make a rectangular block like this. I won't make my own polenta today for the sake of simplicity, so I pulled out a nice organic polenta I picked up at the store. You can find it in a bunch of different flavors (my personal favorite is sun-dried tomato) but here is Basil and Garlic I used today.

^ Awwww poor baby. I still have to wait about 2 months, and that isn't even a guarantee. No.

I'm pretty happy. My first one of these, and I got a few votes that weren't me. However, this just shows how desperatly I need to install Photoshop....... 2 years later......

I recommend opening day at just about any park, especially when there are snow and thunderstorms.

I made it to first year Bear in Cub Scouts, and then I quit.
