The "Say Something Random" Thread
generaleclectic replied to robbalvey's topic in Random, Random, Random
I got paid today. I think I'll go out and buy a wallet and new cradle for my iPod Shuffle. -
^ Well... If you really want to know. I'll put it in a PM as not to turn the thread into a debate.

I'm a legend in my own mind. Seriously though, it became less of a joke and more of a real opinion when I was forced to acknowledge it as a form of music in my music history class in college. I was so mortified that I walked out of the class 3 minutes into the lecture that day and did enough research to PROVE beyond the shadow of a doubt that it is in fact NOT music. It really is just crap. Besides... Someone of my talent level is bound to use a retread once in a while.

Well, there are some brutal shots of us all I'm sure. Hmm..way to ruin it I didn't want to get you in trouble with anyone *cough, Eli, *cough (I'm just kidding around man!) Oh Yeah Scott! What happened to that untimely accident that you were planning eh? I'm kinda disappointed! I had Guido on stand-by and everything! You really know how to ruin a guy's fun. You CAN'T be serious.... LOL vv - MIGHT GET EDITED I dunno... I did get a cock and a pussy out of it, so it has to be kind of mysterious. Hmmm... On-Line Chat Room or Bag of Mystery... *thinks*

I went into a local big music store and found ABSOLUTELY no Trance/Electronic/Progressive stuff. Not even Tiesto. Wow. Rap, rap, pop, rap, rock, rock, etc... Sigh. My tastes are very European. Hybrid, Armin can Buuren, Tiesto, Daft Punk (kinda popular in the states, only because of Kayne West [their surprise Grammy performance was good though]), and some Celldweller. DJ's are really skipped over these days. Tis a pity. You know, music marketers were struggling to find a name in the early 90s when Rap became popular. Funny how much money someone can make by simply dropping the "C".....

Vekoma's new train designs

The Great Nor'Easter @ Morey's Piers is a fine example. -
A reading from the First Letter of Eli to the Donkeys.... ...and on the 6th day, the heavenly Mr. Six arrived in the small community of Mitchellville where the masses of coaster geeks were awaiting the next coming of fun and thrill not of the evil gravy coaster. He set out to bring forth that which so many yearned for. He planted flags, six of them in the ground before the feet of residents of the small town and proclaimed, "THIS SHALL BE THE PARK KNOWN AS SIX FLAGS AMERICA." From that time forward, there was much riding, much laughter, and the masses were happy. And Mr. Six danced. Many months and a fortnight later, Mr. Six returned to Mitchellville and saw that the evil powers of Vekoma have overcome the land of Six Flags America by removing two of the flags. At this sight, Mr. Six ceased to dance. Then he encountered people from the lad of Six Flags America and found that they had grown angry and incorrigible. He found thugs and beatnicks and broken coasters which had been shown no love no love by The "Profit" Shapiro. He found food not fit for consumption by donkeys and charred and collapsed buildings while four of the remaining flags struggled in the sky where there was no breeze from lack of coaster movement. There were outcries from the donkeys. All of them proclaiming, "Mr. Six Mr. Six?!? What shall we do? How shall we gain more flags?!" Mr. Six then dropped to his knees, and wept longingly amidst the donkeys in Mitchellville for he knew not how to restore happiness and goodness to the land that once was Six Flags America.... Here ends the lesson...

The Official TPR "East Coast/Behemoth Trip" Update
generaleclectic replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I'm still sorting through my pics to get the good coaster shots. Unfortunately, all my videos pretty much sucked and are not worthy to be posted. BUT, I thought I would post these pics. Apparently we aren't the only ones that love David. Oh.. Just for edification... The aviary is not lame. Did I mention that I am a REALLY REALLY big lori slut? Tee Hee... I'm a lori slut... Whoa! A Threesome! Rock on! Yah.... There we go... Come to papa Maybe I'll get one to come to me... -
I typically get my bitch on. Do you drink coffee?

^Now that is just truly nasty.

I've just read through this entire thread to see if my worst was up here, and I don't think it is. Two Words: RYE PLAYLAND So we arrive, and from the outside looking in, it looks to be a wonderfully kept park. I mean they don't have the landscaping of BGE, but more like your granmother's backyard after your grandfather finished cutting the grass and tending to the flower beds. I just looked like a well loved, small, family owned park. So we enter, and I was even more happy with it. It instantly reminded me of that South Georgia farmer's market feel without the produce. I found it hard to believe we were on Long Island Sound. So we get to the wood coaster in the park and while it wasn't a thrilling ride by any means, it was a decent trip. I don't remember specifically what it was, but I remember that the ride op said something over and over and OVER AND OVER into the PA that just irritated the snot out of me. So we finish there, and we start checking out some of the other little bits of the park as the evening GP starts to flow in. About this time, I started fearing for my safety. Needless to say, I didn't want to do much of anything outside of a group which is uncommon for me in a park. I finally found my way to the Boardwak which was absolutely breath taking. It's adjacent to the park much like Coney Island or Morey's Piers without the 4,298,299,876 independent vendors. It was especially beautiful at dusk. I felt truly serene. After 30 minutes on the boardwalk with PepsiGirl and Godwyn, we ventured back into the park. In just 30 minutes, it had gone from really bad to, "Oh My God... Where my Mommie?!" The group stayed there long enough to partake of most assuredly the crappiest Nathan's Hot Dog I'd had, and we left. When returning to the bus, one of our chronic late comers was late again and folks were contemplating leaving him behind. About 18 of us stood up and exclaimed, "Uhhh... No! We will go find him! If we leave him here he will die tonight." Luckily, he jogged up to the bus just seconds later. The one good ride at this park was The Whip. We giggled at that ride for some time because it just kinda slung us around with the wild abandon of Robb at an Erasure concert. SO, in conclusion, those of us on the East Coast trip have not so affectionately dubbed this park, Rye Stabland.

Judging from some background noise that I was occationally privvy to by shear accident and from reading over David's shoulder in the MidWest threads, I think it can be said that that certain person was the exception and not the norm. (Might be getting off topic a little, so please forgive me in advance) Ya see... My personality, I think, is unique in this day and age. Every single person that I encounter starts with my respect and my trust. They then whittle away at it over time. Now that someone who had completely whittled away my trust has been removed from the equasion, I can move on and concentrate on how best to move in someone else's life or how to let someone else move in my life. Ok. Done being off topic. Kerry, I miss you so much. I wish we'd had more time to really bond and chitchat more. -
David (Jynx242) and I carpooled today because the trannie in our Blazer is kaput. I re-realized just how lucky I am to have someone in my life that cares so much even when I'm being an unconscionable bitch.

Have you ever been to Wal-Mart with a group and taken it over? Some years ago I used to run around with a different crowd and for whatever reason, we always found ourselves at Wal-Mart at 3AM. Our flames were turned up to ULTRA BURN YOUR ASS and we'd freak out everyone in the store. GREAT fun. -
Not really Does BGE count as having been to Europe?

I can't stand people that use public restrooms and not flush. I had to use the facilities at Kroger tonight and was just completely irritated that the guy before me couldn't be bothered to flush.

AMEN Brutha! Hell... I was just honored to be on the trip in the first place. If it came down to ERT vs. just being on the trip in the first place with all the neat folks, I damn sure know which I would take. ERT was glorious gravy. -

I have no idea why I thought that was so damned funny! After reading your post, I'm still giggling a little. LOL Man... If I could add some of this stuff to a stand-up routine. -

I think I'm the only Georgia native that calls it sodapop. Most of us call everything "co-cola." It could be a Sprite or Sierra Piss, as one unnamed donkey so eloquently put it, and some idiot would still call it a co-cola. Seriously... If you are from one of the "antebellum" states, walk up to a senior and ask them about co-cola. I think you'll be amused.
