OMG. They are moving Viper to Brooklyn

That reminds me of the best piece of advice i can offer regarding IKEA furniture assembly. Buy the tool kit they sell (usually at the entrance to the warehouse) for like $6. It has all the bits you need to assemble IKEA products using cool tools like cordless screwdrivers. It sure beats the hell out of turning that little Allen Wrench until your arm falls off. // thanks to IKEA, this is hanging in my living room

I would buy 200 Bacon Cheeseburgers ... but that's just me.

Exactly what I was thinking. LOL

Processor: Intel or AMD Intel Media Card: Nvidia or ATI ATI Windows XP PRO or Media Center PRO what is lightscribe technology?.. Lightscribe is a technology where you can put a compatible piece of black media upside-down in a CDR/DVD burner and it will burn the label on the disc.

Love the fact that there is an Ikea 20 minutes away from my house outsdie Pittsburgh. Over the years I have become quite the master Ikea builder. Current IKEA goodies at the Cromwell house ... - About a half dozen book shelfs - 2 Desks - Tv Stand - Assorted Kitchen goodies - Media Shelfs - Phone Stand - Various Lighting Products etc etc. Glad to hear that they are finally putting one in Florida. That was probably the biggest drawback to living there. You can find places with similar stuff, but it costs 10x as much. Nice reference. "We have top men working on it ... top men"

Another thing of note: When I moved from Florida to WV, I had to pay a 5% "priviledge" tax to put plates on my car. Since I just purchased my car right before moving, it was nearly a grand!

I do not have any contact with nearly all of my ex-girlfriends. Most of the times that I have tried to be friends, it just doesn't work out.

I am hating work right now I am craving fried chicken I ate ravioli for lunch I listen to Debbie Gibson I have to drive home now

Wouldn't it be easier to just see what finishes last in the other poll. // Closed

I don't believe it for a second. Of course I could be totally wrong ... but I doubt it

^ Never even thought about that, but it looks like it did at some point. Wonder when. Old Style: http://www.fratkin.com/coasters/images/montu2af.jpg

For Guy:

March - Solace May - Disney (part of Honeymoon ... yay!) August - Indiana Beach, Dells, SFGA October - PPP. Orlando attractions For the rest ... we'll wait and see.

Nice TR Eric. It was great to hang out with you yesterday. Unfortunately now, I am sitting at my desk and it is cold and wet outside.

Mine are: Wild One - Smoother and more fun than I would have ever thought. Silver Comet - Nobody talks about this coaster much but it is GREAT

Nice report Rick. Words cannot even begin to describe how much this season is pissing me off.

Because if you idiot proof the world. The world becomes full of idiots.

Well. Onto our final day in sunny Florida ... If Nikki would move her ass out of the way, we might be able to get to BGT on time. We met up with Eric Johnson, whom we met on the UK trip, for a day at BGT. The first stop was the very busy Timbuktu Theater for some lunch. After some lunch it was on to the Anton classic ... Scorpion. Eric is ready for the first ride of the day. Actually, it was the second as we made a quick stop at SheiKra on the way to lunch. Climbing the lifthill. Our small group poses for a picture outside of Rhino Rally. Next, it was onto some Montu goodness. After riding Nemesis in the UK this thing still stands on it's one. One of the finer B&M Inverts. Tut's Tomb = Scary. While at BGT, one can't help but to grab a train ride to check out all the little critters that wonder about. Like this cute little Ford 250. Zebras can use their stripes to hide their numbers. This guy isn't fooling anyone. Just outside the train station is the entrance to once of my personal favorites ... Kumba. Eric and Catrina get ready for their ride. It is impossible to do a trip report on BGT without discussing the yummy goodness that is SheiKra. Mmmmm. Immelmann. Mmmmm. Vertical Drop. Mmmmm. Second Vertical Drop. SheiKra holds it's own as a great ride. Sure it isn't the most forceful or complete coaster out there. But it is a LOT of fun. SheiKra almost appears to resemble some sort of powerboat from this angle. Now, over to Lorakeet landing. Eric attempts to feed the Lorakeets. They were not being very cooperative on this particular day. Looks like the birds were more interested in human flesh today. Catrina and I posing in front of the butterfly. On our way out, I stopped by the Hospitality House for what was probably the best beer I ever drank at BGT. A nice cold Red Hook IPA on draft. Our last big treat was found at Sultan's Sweets where we indulged in these fine desserts. Thanks for reading. The coaster season is offically over for us See everyone at Solace!

Yes, It was more of a "The Canadians" rib. // Pens fan

Nothing too special, but some Hoegaarden on draft at O'Briens Pub in Tampa. Go Steelers! Mmmmmm. Whit Bier.

Sunday was a delay of relaxation with no parks. We started of the day by slowly motivating ourselves to get ready. Looks like my Step-Mothers cat had the same idea. Yes ... he is THAT fat. Our first stop was one of my old hang outs on Armenia Ave in Tampa. Wholly Smokes! Wholly Smokes offers a wide variety of authentic southern Bar-B-Q. Catrina is ready for some Bar-B-Q action. I think ... Next up was a stop at Citris Park Mall to kill some time before the game. For the game, we went to one of my old hang-outs in Carrollwood, O'Briens Pub. The best Steeler bar in the WORLD! The bar has several beers on draft a very insane collection of Scotches and Whiskeys. On tap were such favorites as Guinness, Beamish, Harp, Newcastle, Bass, Stella and much more. I opted for the Hoegaarden. Unfortunately, most of the Steeler Nation was sitting by the end of the game. // Today BGT with the "Other Eric Johnson"
