I wasn't a fan of the toilet for other reasons. Thank god for the brush! (see you got another entry for the TMI award) I also took video of that other "shower head" in the shower. I may have to post that on my own site because my colorful commentary. I keep forgetting that I have a really filthy mouth and most times I keep it under wraps! Alan spit out his drink when I made my "Toll" comment! Whoops! Terry

If an ex-prostitute talks down to you and lectures you about class and their education, please remind them about who they were. Then tell them to shut the heck up. They've gotten temporary amnesia.

If I revisit any place in Europe, it will be Madrid. The men there party! PAR-TAY! Slightly, tightly and possibly all-nightly! Go during gay pride and the Infinita Party and you'll be putting in several late nights in a row on packed streets! And they aren't shy in telling you what they want. My friend got his wires all crossed thinking he was the reason I was smiling... those boys were passing by saying naughty nothing in my ears! It wasn't those trolls I'm used to either... hot boys! Oh and Connection in Berlin should be called "Disconnection"... troll city! I had to try to find an alternate club which was on the other side of town. Terry

Yep there's plenty! There were quite a few parks where I had "statue overload"... it was just too many, so I settled on finding a beer! The donkey deserved a video instead of a pic so I hope to include that as well (have to decide on a version though; I did two takes). I just got home yesterday so I have to import two 4gb cards and one 2gb for statue credits! So I'm hoping to put one together soon. Sadly my pursuit of statue credits in Madrid caused me to give my friend his walking papers. Some people are no fun! But I did get a family from Brazil to join in and they invited me to visit them if I'm ever in their country. They were a blast and Toledo will never be the same! Also, there were quite a few rides I encountered where I said "We need one of these in the states." I had my first log flume with a turntable experience on this trip. There was a bit of laughter when I screamed "What is this!?!" and then we dropped backwards in to the water. I did had an overdose of Mad Houses though. I also loved the indoor coasters with the techno music bumping... those beats were hot! Definitely need a few of those in the states! Terry

I see my "artistic" statue credits came out good... Like Madrid, I was working the.. err... nevermind. Terry "Idle mind" Weaver

I'm not sorry for showing out.... this trip just turned into a romantic getaway!

I had to clean house at the villa in Madrid today. I was already mentally exhausted from the days of hell at Disney Paris and I had to deal with guests from hell. My friend was sharing a villa in Madrid with me and one day he emails me and says some friends of his from Israel was staying there as well. The way things were set up, my friend would get the master bedroom since he paid the most, I would choose next then other guys would get the last room. Anyway I arrive after fighting with the Madrid Cust service center (they said they were closed until I told them the voucher I had said they were supposed to be open for another 20 minutes and threaten to call their supervisors) and see my friend sad. Evidently his friends took the master bedroom, ignored him, hogged everything and left dirty dishes everywhere. I told my friend if they step out of line while I'm here I'm going off. It didn't take long as one of the guys came back and took the only phone to his bedroom and shut the door. My friend said "I thought it was my turn to keep the phone as agreed?" The guy said something ugly to him and I ran back there. I showed out in that villa. "You lost your #{{~~ mind! You best clean up that attitude; the American black b!tch is here and I'm not going to have someone treat my friend like crap. He let you stay here out of the goodness of his heart and you're trying to run the place? Hell naw! You don't like it... then there's the door! Don't make me call the police to help you pack!" They went to the hotel the next day. Some people.... Terry

I'm in Madrid! It's after 12 and the streets are still packed! I had quite the time trying to get from the metro station to the villa you could hear the music from inside the subway. I did take a moment to party in the streets with my bags; the DJ is hot! The villa is overlooking the main square where the pride festival is happening; I took a pic and will add it to my TPR. Meanwhile I am partying from the balcony! Just now waiting until 2am to hit the first party....

Can't a guy enjoy his chips and take a break? Sheesh! Besides i have enough pics to ensure a fastpass to hell! Anyway? I'm off to Madrid for some major sinning! Robb and Elissa, enjoyed the trip once again! Thanks and see everyone soon (maybe tokyo? ) Terry

^It's way worse in europe. They would line jump and try to push you out of the way. Then I would whirl around and give them that look that tells them they've reached the end of their line jumping and they would stop. I dread Disney on Friday just because of that... they are really bad! We just finished our day at Europa park! These american parks owners need to visit a few of these parks to take notes... they need a few of these coaster and ride types over there! The music in Euro-mir and Euro-Stat had me thinking I walked into a circuit party! Hot! Well, Disney will need to ignore the blatant copies of Pirates or the Haunted Mansion... really cheap imitations! And it was really hot today... and the park doesn't sell bottled water like we're used to... so I was dying... warm little bottles of water but cold beer or wine! I did find a grocery store two minutes from the park that had big warm bottles of water.... what I wouldn't do for some ice! And because it was so hot, people were using the fountains as pools... and jumping in with their clothes on! No wonder the B.O. level was so high! One slightly overweight guy was nice enough to bring his speedo to jump in...ewww! I was worried about getting in the grass for a statue credit and I was reminded "The park isn't stopping the guests from swimming in the fountains... what are you worried about?" He was right... snap away! The hotel we are staying in, the Hotel Colesseo, is really great; although the "natural air conditioning" we had wasn't too cute. Pack a portable fan with you when you visit. I had a chance to walk around (and look for statues) and check the place out. I'll add those to my TPR as well as well as my sauna photo shoot. Terry

Nice to see my hitchhicking pic came out with me showing all that leg . The looks I got on that road! Having a blast over here, but a few observations: * These "twin" beds are tiny! * I actually started using my french after 20 years! * I worked public transit in 3 European cities with no problem. * I still can't get used to bathing in one room and doing my "business" in another. Speaking of bathing, I ran into a few that needed one! We left a show early becase we stood next a guy that was pure B.O. Not cute. * You european kids certainly don't know how to say "Excuse me" when you force your way past me. I already snatched three kids and a kid faceplanted into this meaty quad and started crying. * It's cheaper to get a glass of wine than cola here. So you know what I've been drinking. * When I get back to the states I'm getting a BIG glass of ice water. Lots of ice and a little water. * You take getting ice and free katsup for granted in the states. 30 cents each for a packet of catsup and mayo makes me homesick. * I rooted for Spain to win the European soccer championship because that's my next stop on my European tour. I want the boys to be partying in the street... like that aren't going to do that already! * Cigarette machines are everywhere in these parks! Don't these kids know that stuff ages you among other things? Of course I've been busy getting my statue credit pics together... so get ready for some artsy pics thrown in when I get back to the states. OK... time for bed! Terry

Yuck Yuck. Nevermind... offer withdrawn. Terry

Guys, I have an extra ticket for Disneyland Paris on June 20. Rather than have it go to waste, someone wants to meet me there and I give it to them for very cheap or free? PM me! Terry

Sounds like taking your finger off the pad to hit a right button seems like extra effort to me. To each its own, I guess. I don't miss it and have gotten used to it since I don't use my Dell laptop that much. I used the Dell for work and games, but since I don't game as much as I used to and I made my "hackintosh", my Windows sessions have been reduced to virtualization. Anyway, my rant is I hate packing. It's stressful to put stuff in a duffle bag and you're gonna be gone a month! I'll just be glad to be on a plane! I may need a drink to calm me down... Terry

^Nice pic. If I was 15 years younger... (whoops old man moment!) I think one of my friends lives in Huntington (although I think he may have recently moved). Terry

My last day of work for a month! Tomorrow I leave for London! I'll be eating on a budget, but at least the transportation and entertainment for the trip has been paid for. I felt like I lived in a third world country exchanging my dollars for Pounds and Euros. The economy here is really in the crapper! Terry

Then someone was lazy at your computer lab; I can right click on mine! That is unless they have one of those old apple mice. All it takes is plugging in a cheap windows usb mouse and you have your right clicking back. The newer mac laptops use multi-touch now so tapping your two fingers on the pad does a right click. But you've been able to use that method on the laptop for at least a year. But that was the only complaint I had with the laptops; still I used the mac laptop more than my windows because it was a better experience. Sure there's a learning curve with the Mac OS; but then you find it's easier to edit documents and work than on Windows. Terry

Maybe they should change the name to "Dig to Atlantis". That's what you have to do now to see any trace of it. Terry

I've been looking at a few articles about the costs of the new 3G iphone. If you have one of the old phones, I would do research before trading up since AT&T is going to stick it to you on the increased cost of the data plan and you have to pay for text messages now since it isn't included in the plan. I also read some analyst's blog that said we may see the iPhone on different carriers sooner since Apple is not doing the revenue sharing plan with AT&T. He mentioned that since the new deal is similar to a traditional carrier deal, there's not much keeping Apple from getting out of its exclusivity deal and offering it to other companies. Either way, I'm going to wait it out and put that money towards a new Macbook Pro. Terry

So that's why you liked the Spiderman movie? Go'on boy! Anyway, I may get an iPhone later this year. My pocket pc phone is kinda crappy but i did find some translation software and skype works on it; so it may serve a purpose in Europe.. although the phone won't work (Crappy Sprint). When more software comes out for it, I may consider switching... but I'm not wild about changing cell companies. Terry

(cluck cluck cluck) You're such a chicken! Scroll down on this page and see what you missed! From my midwest TPR Terry "Gettin my 'yehn' ready for the Europe TPR trip" Weaver

Two days until Europe!! I haven't had this much vacation time since I was in high school! Terry

^In my opinion, I think PG-13 is worse. I've seen PG-13 movies with the occasional curse word, naked backsides and the such. Even that rotten "Prom Night" movie that came out a few months ago was PG-13. The only thing missing was showing the violence. I would make a list of all the shows that you watch on TV; and mark those that are TV-14 and you watch with your father. If you have a large list of shows, I would pose the question "What's the difference between watching this show together that is TV-14 and Family guy?" You might put yourself in a running position when asking, because he might throw something at you though. Terry

3 days until Europe! Everything is about packed, money exchanged and travel insurance paid for! If any people want to meet unofficially while I'm there here's the parks I'll be at: June 16 - Alton Towers June 17 - Thorpe Park (short day-- we're "fastpassing" it to get back to a train to Paris) Of course, legal-aged tour/bar guides are always good! *London - June 13 *Berlin - June 14-15 *Paris would be good for June 17-20th (Ok my French is very basic) *Amsterdam party night (June 26) - I'm going to try to be sinning this night! No coaster talk! Anyway, can't wait to leave! Terry

Does your father take you to R-rated movies? If he does, then he really shouldn't have a problem with you watching TV-14 programming. It's gonna be waaay toned down that what you're gonna see on Family Guy. Besides, if you think about it, you probably would end up just watching Nickelodeon because most shows on TV is gonna be TV-14 at night. I don't think CSI and most of the other comedies are geared for under 14. Besides if you want to be sneaky just download the episode on itunes and load it into your ipod. Terry
