Calvin and Hobbes???? - oops - sry - guess I should have guessed a strip that's still running, hmm?

Since I have the number '3' popping up everywhere in my life these past (literal) few years, wouldn't ya know it that I'd be #33 on the poll there!!! You can see which one, for now. Compared to the other numbers, heh heh. Yes, after reading "all of the above" I find it refreshing that it's not such a Big Deal as it used to be, to be 'out.' Except of course, to ones self, family, friends, co-workers. That IS still a Big Deal, don't matter which decade, lol. Not belittling that important Part of Life, believe me. Just - "when I was younger..." well, some of you know it wasn't as casual and commercial as it appears to be nowadays. Anyway, here's to acceptance, and to you Allison, Big Bunches of Roses. Good for you!

^ Well Stitch, if you want some more Python, in "Something Completely Different" There's the new Broadway Cast CD (show won the Tony this summer for Best Musical), Monty Python's SPAMALOT - starring Tim Curry (Orig.Frankenfurter 'Rocky Horror') Hank Azaria (voices Apu and Moe in The Simpsons) David Hyde Pierce (Niles in Frasier) and the gorgeously ample AND gifted Sara Ramirez as The Lady of The Lake (and her Laker Girls!). Great CD of the show - has some the usual wonderful Python freakiness to it too. And remember, "Always look on the bright si-i-de of life"

Darnit - not Alaska huh? Congrats on the game. Hope you had fun in CO. Weather looked nice.

Hmmm. I seem to be having download trouble too, with your video. I get the music, which sounds very ncie by the way - then the "dance of circles" which is something substituted for your video. Hmmm. Ah well. That would be an excellent place to include in a Euro-Tour if Robb and Ellissa ever plan a future trek through mainland Europe, like France and Germany, Holland... Thanks for sharing it, altho I haven't seen it yet, lol.

So Google Bret Baumgartner?

And we're off!!! Like the proverbial "Herdful of Turtles in a Bowlful of Milk!" I like the odds already, heh heh. Runners-Up (in no part.order...): redunzelizer and Twister II and rollermonkey

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyggggggggggggggggggg wow.

This is gonna be nuts, Robb!!!! The agony, the decision, Elissa and that pole..... Happy poll setup...

I went back to Robb's original Forum opener w/rant attached. And giggled about his offering that, with the apologies to the people in question, the rant was with the english language and it's non-use, sometimes... There is a marvelous broadway musical called AVENUE Q that has this great little ditty in it, entitled, "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist." The whole show won the (theatre) Tony Award for Best Musical. An adult version of Sesame Street. With full puppet nudity. :shock: :shock: :shock: Anyway, I always put that song on first when I feel like the rant is motivated by something else - when really, it isn't y'know? Worth a listen to from time to time. ----------------------------------------Rant on everybody!

^that is true, Wes did something I don't think Robb expected could happen^ Still - the right answer is now amongst all of you - happy hunting, lol!

hey Justin - Robb said earlier - the date settings on all the cameras used, weren't adjusted to current dates.... so date settings on pix are unfortunately not-to-be-considered. Hmm, yes?

^^The food there looks- entertaining. 'Nough said here. 8)

Three cakes!!! :shock: How wonderful. And yes, your whole family getting together is a great thing to still have happen for you and your brother. Hope he didn't get too 'full of cake' LOL.

"Worst - dress size - ever." (love ya Robbman)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I had to switch from "Say Something Random" Forum to this one immediately... Damned stupid-butt RACCOONS!!! We thought the little ***holes were tired of being near us for so many years - and then last night - SURPRISE. Apaprently not. They tore up one of the old deadwood log pieces I had propped up at edge of cement patio - for grubs and bugs I know. But GEEZ I wish they'd learn to clean up after themself. Hah. I want to shoot them, I want to catch them and release them far far away from us. But I cannot do either, by city by-laws. Fact is, I am not allowed to move them. Has to be done by an (yeah,right) 'expert' and only if there are a good number of complaints - which probably means some stupid # like over 100 homes etc. etc. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRg Anyway, I scooped up the dirt that was thrown around from their 'dig,' re-propped the logpieces back together, it's rained a bit here today and now it doesn't look as bad as this morning. .. Rant offiiallly over.

Raccoons showed up in back yard, first time in weeks. We thought they'd all moved away - hah. They did their usual 'digging around' a few old dead log pieces I have propped up. Nothing seriously damaged, but a bit of a surprise to find out they were still around. Ah nature and all it's unexpected-ness.

I believe Robb and Elissa are....... NOT in Europe - hah.

^ Now, now, don't go teasing us there, Ms.E^ (altho I am more than happy to put a 'plug' in for 2008 and TDL's 25th Happy B)

Hah hah - good one Phishy. My scare involves any time a coaster stops on a hill-climb-chainy-thingy. My worst happened at (believe it or not) The Beast, on it's second hill. We were stopped several feet before the top, and the announcement came on about a train needing extra loading time. THEN my agoraphobia kicked in Big Time, and I thought the whole train I was on was slowly going to tip off the track! Or fall backwards, into an eventual wreck, hee hee. Isn't it great how the mind works?

Winchester draft - well, you asked, LOL.

Good on you thunder to at least help her out. Bruises heal up, slowly but surely. Wear them with pride knowing you helped someone who couldn't do it for themself.

Got it - When I was Seven - many of YOU out there in coasterland didn't...exist.

Wow - that was quite the EuroTour, guys. And yes, I think you kept some of The Best for the last part of it all. Sweet. Which now makes me wonder - Disneyland Paris, Parc Asterix.... Hmmm. Start of another 'tour' in there somewhere? And by 2007/08 the DLP Studios will Finally have their ToT and the Toon Studios add-on... Hmmm. And then by those years, more coasters built... other places, lol. Excellent Adventure Robb. That's the kind of touring I want to do. With happy, out-of-their-minds coasterfolk, LOL. Robb - Elissa - Dan - Joey Thanks for the ride. You may now unlock your seatbelts...

Oops - it's DenDen huh? Silly old bear I is......
