Belize is right. That's an accomplishment to be proud of.

Barry, you did the smart and right thing. Why fight when there is no need? Besides, if there were no alternatives, you have an advantage being sober. This other guy's coordinating and timing would be off. A survey guy at a mall a few years back knew I trained and decided he wanted to spar, right there in the mall. He looked pissed. Realizing how determined he was, I quickly defended his boxing attacks and put him down with a shin kick. After a moment he stopped and realized what he was doing. He backed off. I was releaved. Though the winner, I sure didn't feel like a bad arse. Was shaken much like you, but didn't let it show. It's a scarey thing. Kitty, Dollars, Hemp.

^ LOL! It's the gift that keeps on giving and yet another good reason to do a charactor breakfast. Too bad I didn't get pics with the Country Bears. I'd have fit right in!

"I...I used to have a Joe Elliot Mullet...and a mustache. While it did net me a hot girlfriend, I was still a shell of a man. Treatment at MA (Mullets Anonymous) and a job search helped me, but my keytar afliction is another story. I fear scissors too." Back to topic, DtA was a curious ride. It's no picnic that it broke though.

Larry, Rich, Chuck, Terry, thanks for answering the waffle question. Silly as it sounds, I had to ask. Much appreciated. EDIT: And Moose too. Thanks for posting another great round Chuck.

Had both ears on a couple of occasions. Infections got the better of me, so I gave up. Girlfriend has 5 on each ear, 1 nose, and had her lip pierced at some point. Props to her on that. Hey, peircings and ink are cool.

Horay! Somebody else who did a retail and/or fast food TR! Late night Walmarting is when I get my groceries. Less people and wierdos. Sure, you hear all about them, but I can never find them on buses or at Walmart. Oh, and I will NEVER be drunk in Walmart with "friends" ever again. Back on track, this was a fun read and you taught me something new about the colors.

Great stuff Title Fairy! It's perfect. Best part is, it's part of an inside joke with this great community. Glad to be a part of it and the title is very special to me, just like my avatar that spaceace12 took the picture of. Both mean more than what I could've chosen. Thank you again and my best to you.

^Lol! That's great to hear and I'm jealous. Looking forward to the next chapter from this TR. Great stuff thus far.

Hey man, it was just a light-hearted observation, not an attack on anyone. The fact that you took offense to it and had to "zing" me is your problem, not mine. Yes, I did read the thread and understand the topic, despite the often rampant, trendy, and gramatically incorrect use of pre in today's culture (hence my joke's relevence). In this case, you are correct. Let's be cool, and I apologize right now for the offense. Ok?

Ok, I have to ask. Did anybody try the waffles while in Belgium? Seriously... Another winner of a TR. The Roo Tie was the clincher.

This was a great report and a joy to read. Got a kick out of the Sea Serpent hair picture and the one of the fried Oreos and Pretzel stand. Also enjoyed the water parks and agree the themeing is cool. BTW I'm also a Keen fan and was looking at buying the Venice H2s Derek has. How's he like them?

^ Good to know I'm not alone in this feeling. According to the news video, InBev might have to sell non-core assets to pay for the deal. So they don't have enough money for this deal in the first place, yet they were shooting for hostel take-over? I'll stop. This whole thing is just infuriating and shameful.

"We would like to pre-board." "You mean I can get on before I get on?!" Everytime I read the thread title, I hear Carlin and his rant about pre. I didn't even know you could lift before you lift.

Exactly. That's decent ride space and there's an expansion to the mall being planned. Put AG there.

The part that bothers me most about InBev, is that they were going hostel takeover if they didn't get their way, right away (like Burger King now). Why now all of a sudden and why so agressive? If you're willing to attack right away, you don't have the aquisitions best interestes at heart, nor does it gain you any favor or support. When I was crossing the bridge into Festa Italia at BGE, I had a strange feeling of looking over the bridge and saying "I can't believe this place is just gone." At the time, I dismissed the feeling as nonesense. AB was just fine. That feeling coupled with recent events concerns me. It was the same feeling I had leaving Opryland in 94.

Aha! So THAT's how you do all those MySpace pics! My feeble attempts with my camcorder look like something taken by a drunken squid on a tilt a whirl. Either that or that's just an impressive bio-mechanical bird you gleefully shot.

"I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if thousands of voices cried out, and then silenced." Don't have a warm fuzzy about this, but we'll just have to see what happens.

My girlfriend said DK will be showing on the local IMAX as well. Also read some of the chase scenes were shot in IMAX for better quality. Sounds cool and will probably do IMAX, but AFTER seeing in a regular theatre. Both girlfriend and I are excited to see this one. Seems like it'll be the 800 lb. gorilla of the summer.

^&^^ Ditto. You just can't go wrong with Busch.

Mom, Dad and I did this breakfast in 92 (came with our Contemporary Resort package). I was a teenager taking pics with Goofy, Tigger, and Pluto and noone blinked. Well worth it.

"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea!" "We feel like we just witnessed a birth." "Anal Fahrt" You're doing it wrong! Awesome captions for this update. About fell out of my chair laughing at the birth and I'll never look at those ball fountains the same way again. And thank you too, for the rapids shot.

Did anybody notice HOW updside down guy was drug into the scene after being shot? I'll give you a hint, it wasn't by the tail. Then there's the man in green overalls with a "curious" pink hat and big pink shoes. I think my cerebellum just fused...

A good perspective on USO/IOA and some funny captions. Enjoyed it. Got a good chuckle out of that one. The picture with the kid with the cannon reminds me of the recent Zorro movies. The smug grin and the leg on the cannon is most humerous.

........ Delayed reaction. Damn that was weird!
