^It would be very difficult for 50+ people to travel in a group at the park. During the day we will meet up for a group meal or to decide if everyone got their credits so we could leave early to get to the hotel or another park. So one we get off the bus we would split off to certain rides, unless we have a ERT session when we first get there. Usually there are different type of people on the trip such as those that only want to get their credits in, people that video and photograph rides and people that take a more leisurely pace to the park (which I fall in). So usually the people that end up together have the same goals in mind for that day. Also, the group may have a certain amount of time allotted to a park. Sometimes we may be at a park all day, some for a few hours. For the shorter visits, just about everyone is rushing off to get their coaster credits, which makes it harder for someone not on the official trip to meet up with the group. Terry

^I believe that. I know I was nervous watching him in the pool, thinking I might have to jump in and save him at any given moment. That was before he and Chris had the water fight and I got splashed with water! Mind you, I had jeans on and not the appropriate pool attire. Terry

^It was great meeting you too. Did Piers ever do his show? Bless his heart... Terry

^Thanks Wes! My point was I'll be able to use them somewhere while I'm on vacation, but I think people were so quick to make a point that they missed that. Oh well. Regardless I think the Scandi trip will be great. Terry

I guess this was before he got really blasted. I'm pretty sure there's a few people that didn't realize I actually showed up at the house (to view the festivities) for a while and was at Busch Gardens! Some of the peeps (which shall go nameless) were putting drinks away! Terry

Unless you do it right. That was part of one my old costumes a few years back! It was a baby on the back of a old woman... it was the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen! When I started dancing (crazily of course) it caused people to belly laugh. I have a video segment of it that is a complete mess. I got lots of compliments on it, btw. Did nothing for date potentials though. Anyway, KT looks cute in the pics. I also had to giggle at the nametags on everyone's backs; guess they didn't want them to tear it off! Terry

I'm sure I'll be in another country that uses them like I did last year. I actually have more Pounds than Euros, so I'll be trying to exchange them for paper since it's likely I'll be landing in London from the states. Besides they are still worth more to exchange than the dollar. Terry

I think I did pretty good on the bulking program. I tried on the shirt shown in my avatar and it's now way too small! I went out last night to a party (big mistake in terms of I can't get out of bed now to get dressed for work ), and I got hit on several times by guys with great bodies... including the guy I have a slight crush on which was cool. But since I'm dating someone (though not explicitly committed), I merely just hung out with him and his friend that I knew then came home. The guy I'm dating wants to lose some weight since he got embarrassed by sales lady when trying on a pair of straight leg jeans. She more or less said his butt was too big for those pants which had a few people giggling. Of course later I had to answer the dreaded question "Do you think I'm fat?" So I had to careful say that he needed to cut out some of the junk food because it's not good for him and although he's really young and his metabolism can maintain the weight he's at, when he gets older the same type of eating will make him fat. "But you aren't fat, and a little exercise may make you feel confident about yourself. But you my 'boo-kee' though!" Terry

^Basically your xbox is dead. It has to go to the shop to be fixed. It's a big problem on the xbox. I think I read they have about a 16% failure rate which for a consumer product is pretty bad. Some people had to have their xbox replaced several times because of this. Anyway, I've been playing God of War on my PSP and surprisingly I got to 2nd level! For me that's a big deal because I suck on these type of games. I think since I had a lot of time to focus on the game during a flight to visit my mom I got somewhat used to the controls. I also started playing a bit of Guitar Hero III and Lord, do I need some practice! Terry

I was somewhat heartbroken that there's no Asian trip this year, so was somewhat torn between Scandi and West Coast. Then I looked at all these Euro coins in the ankle safe i carried around this past summer (and my passport) and figured I'd best get rid of them and try to get on the Scandi trip. I'll probably try to get on The west coast trip, due to various people, missing me from the East coast trip, requesting I show up. Terry "retiring the statue credits in '09" Weaver EDIT: You should definitely do the scandi trip if you can swing it. There are some pretty good coasters on the trip and the vibe there is much different than in the States.

^My brothers a ex-mormon that's now gay. Yep, I have a gay brother (actually several relatives are) I think the Mormon bit was more about a certain missionary that kept coming by when he was in high school! (you'll never see me switch religions just to get with someone) He practiced the religion during his college years and did his missionary work for a few years. Those were his straight years though as he would proclaim and he told he was bisexual a year after I came out to him. He doesn't speak of religion much; he's just a big gay sinner now! I will have to ask him how he got from missionary work to missionary position.... (Um, did I say that in my inside voice? ) Terry

Well it's been almost two months dating this guy. I believe that's a south florida record for me! Things feel a lot more like dating now than me helping someone, which is a great thing. He still wants to go camping; got to talk him out of that though. Terry

I like Amazon.com because I can find stuff cheap! I found some new wiper blades for my car, since the only place I could get them was from the dealership. You know they want an arm and leg for it! I also found a open source version of Dance Dance Revolution and installed it on the living room computer. As soon as the pads from Amazon show up (which were also discounted), some friends and I will be having a "home night" instead of going out. Terry

I guess you have to put the theming in perspective. If this same idea came out of Disney or Universal, then you may proceed to complain. But how many well themed rides does Six Flags actually have? I don't think theming is really their thing, so you have to take it with a grain of salt and hope the ride is good, which should be all that matters. Just serve me a cold beer and I'll ride it. I'll ride it regardless because Lord knows it can't be worse than Psyclone or Anaconda! When I rode Psyclone, I just thought it wouldn't make the next hill. Ride Anaconda over in France and you'll get a new appreciation for any wooden coaster. I thought the coaster would collapse under the cars weight! Terry

Parents that shuffle their small kids past the height sign without checking then arguing with the ride op for them to get on. That's not how it works, boo. Check before you spend 40 minutes in line. Terry

^ above you! sarcasm sar·casm [sahr-kaz-uhm] . 1. harsh or bitter derision or irony. 2. a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark: a review full of sarcasms. "Hmmm. Bless Drachen's heart..."

Just call me steel! Not sure though, since there were a few questions that appealed to me equally, so I just picked one. EDIT: I went back and changed the two answers that equally favored and look what I got: I think I'm a cross between the two. I like to tinker and research, and I know I can tear a place up when I get mad! Not to mention I'm slightly opinionated. Terry

I volunteer at a local AIDS care organization throughout the year. I've worked my way up from cleaning and setup to welcome center greeter, escorting special entertainment and working the front door at various events. I enjoy doing it and I get to meet some pretty interesting people and celebrities. I also get into some pretty good parties as well! My hours add up, so I usually save them to exchange them for admission to a big beach party, which is the highlight of White Party Week. So I almost got the body "beach ready". But besides the parties, I have a blast volunteering. Terry

Amen. I think they found the "brown note" during the recording, because I had to run to the bathroom to pass a little gas. Yeeeck! They sounded a hot mess. Terry

Uncalled for. How about..... CONGRATULATIONS! Lighten up, boo. It's a joke! andyuk200523, your marriage kit with the ball and chain is in the mail. (I'm joking... too cheap to send something like that overseas!) I gave a coworker one during his "shower" and he laughed his butt off. Of course I gave him the "Honeymoon Kit" later and told him not to open it until the wedding night. When he got back, he had to personally thank me for that kit. It was the first wedding present they used! Terry "Can't go wrong with edible oils" Weaver

I found all three seasons of Little Britian a while back, season one was OK. It's not until you get to the second season when you get the good stuff. Bubbles Devere and Desiree wrestling on the floor was one of the funniest and most disgusting things I've seen in a long time! Don't know how it would play out to the US. The series would definitely be pushing the envelop on typical decency here... you know how uptight most americans are. EDIT there are a few videos on youtube. Here's a clean sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKKxhVcyV4w&feature=related You can go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EGtwhzx9Xo&feature=related to get a full skit, but you probably don't want to click on that unless you're really ready for a little fake nudity and really adult themes. Terry When the towel goes off, turn your head!

I found my old RCT parks I thought I deleted when I upgraded my old computer years ago. These files are back from 1999, so I'm glad I found them! Now hopefully they'll load and I can relive the hard work I put into the parks, even though they may look like crap now! Terry

^ I just got through watching that! It gave "cop a feel" a new meaning! These probably got posted but here are three more: Poor thing, she pretty much guaranteed that there won't be a national anthem sung that night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyzB8nWKzvg This rendition wears me out! He was singing any old thing! It was so quiet after he finished! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYjmnv_54vg In this last one, the man with the long hair was probably thinking "This white boy doesn't know anything about Capoeira. Oops! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGaYovY2oGg&feature=related

^Good boy. I'm going to have to give you a C- for this lesson though. Please work on putting your mind in the gutter more often. Terry

^Actually the only Public Enemy song I liked (which is one of the few rap songs) was "Fight The Power". That was the jam. I was "Running Man" all over the place. The dancers doing the military moves in the video was hot. My roommate was looking at me crazy three weeks ago when a clip of the video came on VH1. I traded in my "Running Man" for a little light bucking while grabbing the dining room table. I was working it out. Most of their songs had a political, if not radical, message which beat a lot of the rappers during that time "talking about nothing" or dissing another person. That's the only thing I give them though. Terry
