I randomly met Al Roker from the Today Show as he was walking out of the Today Show building at the Rockefeller Center the week before Easter..I'm kicking myself for not looking at the camera! URGH!
Before meeting Al, I was in a mob of people surrounding Nicki Minaj as she left the Today Show building. I got right up against her car! She's SO SHORT!! I didn't meet her, but I could have touched her if I wanted to be attacked by the police and guards nearby!

I'd love to save up to get a Nikon D800.
I've seen reviews where the D800 actually outperforms the 5D Mark III in terms of high ISO. I still have a lot of money to save up lol.

Dude, this is my home park! I need to get out there soon because I haven't been to BB/DL in a few years.
I'm still waiting for them to build that campground.

Here's another article from a local news station:
Koch family approved to take over Kentucky Kingdom
LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- "A wonderful partnership that we are super excited about." That was Holiday World President Dan Koch's reaction to the Kentucky State Fair Board's decision to allow the family behind the successful Holiday World amusement park to take over Kentucky Kingdom.
The State Fair Board made that decision in a vote Thursday afternoon.
Koch says the park will be renamed Bluegrass Boardwalk and will be considered a "sister park" to Holiday World. He also promised it would open in May of 2013. "We're going to bring to Louisville the culture and guest experience" people have at Holiday World, he said. "We bring with us a core value of understanding families," he added.
Koch says the park will bring 800 seasonal jobs and a number of full-time jobs to the community. He also emphasized the hard work it will take to get the park ready for next year's opening, saying painters and carpenters have to get busy, and that workers are going to start work on the rides and make them safe.
Koch says, "We're going to make that park shine out there," and adds it will be something that Louisville "will be proud of."
The Koch family has already secured a website and a Facebook page under the Bluegrass Boardwalk name showing children's rides and scenes from a waterpark.
Koch family members have said they will apply for state tax incentives to help with financing, but won't ask lawmakers directly for money. Those incentives could include tax breaks to recover one-fourth of the Koch family's costs over ten years and allow a rebate of state sales taxes.
Earlier this week, Mayor Greg Fischer said as part of the deal the city won't receive a payroll tax, but he approves of that, saying, "Well, if that's what it takes to help them get it open, we do that for different deals from time to time that create jobs and help the community. So our goal is to keep this open and get people employed and get our community enjoying it."

The morons at the Westboro Baptist Church are planning a protest at Steve Jobs' funeral.

It's funny that they think they'll actually find his funeral.

I'm making this post from my brand new Mac best possible birthday present.
I'm glad you got a Mac! I got one for Christmas, and I don't regret getting it!

Wow, I forgot SFGAdv had that Safari park.

^What kind of staff infected you? Wait staff? Nursing staff?
It's staph infection.

^When I had Sprint, I wanted an Instinct SO bad. Every Christmas I would ask for it, but I never got it. They aren't popular phones around here; I can only think of three people that I've seen with Instincts.

Did anyone catch Six Flags New Orleans in the preview for tonight's episode of "Sons of Guns" on Discovery Channel? From the millisecond I saw, it looked like they were by Jester. I'll be sure to record it tonight. It comes on at 9 PM EST, by the way.

I've had absolutely no second thoughts about going back to a PC..What a waste of time!
Maybe we will see Robb's Win7 machine in a TPR Bag of Crap one dayI hope not! A computer with Windows 7 is way to crappy for Bags O' Crap.

iPhones are extremely easy to use. My mom barely knows how to use the computer, and she quickly caught on to the iPhone.

The old Skyway station in Fantasyland still stands across from "it's a Small World" in Walt Disney World's Magic Kindgom.

I'm extremely happy with my iPhone 4. Sometimes browsing the web using 3G is faster than my wifi at my house.

I'm getting so sick of hearing cell phone carriers advertise their 4G networks..There is no such thing as 4G: it doesn't exist!!

There's a terrible shortage for organs, and the fact that you want money or dignity is wrong...just do a good thing.
THIS THIS THIS.
Donating an organ is one of the most unselfish and respectable acts there is.
My thoughts exactly! Your parents didn't pay for the organs when you were born, so you shouldn't expect anything in return. Seeing someone live because of a lifesaving donation is enough of a compensation.

^Actually, Mega Zeph was quite smooth. I enjoyed it so much.

So ride attendants don't check to make sure the riders are properly secured before starting the ride?

The park isn't that far from downtown New Orleans. It's only about 20 minutes from the park to the exciting parts of the French Quarter, but I see what you mean by having an entertainment complex like Universal's within walking distance of the park.
Blue Bayou Water Park: Aqualoop Construction and Updates
in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

I wish Blue Bayou would invest in some shade structures or something. All of these water slides are fantastic, but it's not fun walking around a blistering hot water park without any shade.
