Considering that she was tongue bathing a bunch of grease and rust, I hope her tetanus shot is up to date. Makes you wonder what she'd have done if her and 1001 Nacht had some privacy. Yeah, ok... I just almost made myself puke with the mental image that conjured up.

Is it a dildo wiper? You know.. You've got to keep those dildos clean.

Slaves, prisoners, conscripts, poorly treated and compensated immigrant workers, etc. have provided much or all of the labor involved in building many of the most impressive and enduring structures in the history of mankind: The Great Pyramids, The Great Wall of China, The Parthenon, The White House, countless railroads... The list goes on and on for about as long as you'd care to continue looking into it. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying it's the way it is. If you want to enjoy eating sausage, don't watch it being made.

I liken Mr. Pibb vs Pibb Xtra to Coke vs New Coke. Yeah, they're similar, but one sucks and one doesn't.

This is incredibly heartwarming. A very strong reminder that you should never judge a book by its cover. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

From said article: Mr. Pibb was introduced in June 1972 to compete against Dr Pepper[1], had a less widespread blend of flavors, but appealed to many due to its sweeter taste.[citation needed] The original test markets for Mr. Pibb in 1972 were located in Waco, Texas[2] (original "home" of Dr Pepper) and Mississippi.[citation needed] In 2001, a new flavor called Pibb Xtra has 23 flavors and was introduced with added cinnamon flavor,[3] replacing the original flavor in many parts of the US. It seems to me that it was much more recently than 2001 that original Mr. Pibb disappeared, but we all know the accuracy of the wiki is beyond reproach. In any event, this soda that I partially consumed didn't taste like the Mr. Pibb I remember. Well, it did, but there was definitely something "Xtra" that didn't agree with my taste buds. Perhaps I simply got a bad can of soda? Who knows? I'm not going to be trying any more of them to find out. Besides, there's Pepsi back in the fridge now, so all is well. * Cracks open an ice cold pepsi and takes a sip.. * Ah... Soda bliss!

Mr. Pibb is like Dr. Pepper. I have no real issues with Mr. Pibb. It's not my favorite, but it will do in a pinch. What I'm talking about is a different product called, "Pibb Xtra". If you've never tried it, consider yourself lucky.

Ok, first of all, I'm a Pepsi guy. (I can almost hear the Coke lovers hissing their disapproval.) Anyhow, we happen to be out of Pepsi at the moment, so I grabbed a Pibb Xtra from a 12 pack in the fridge. Wow, this stuff is BAD. I'm not sure what the "Xtra" they added was, but I'm guessing it might be untreated sewage. If you're curious about how foul a soda can taste, then by all means, try Pibb Xtra. Just don't say you weren't warned.

I'd say just go for it. Take some dramamine if you get sick.

^ I hope those tests go well and it becomes standard operating procedure. That will make for a shorter run to X2

Here's the answer Robb posted a while back about that same question.

^ I doubt that's a coincidence. They get all the kiddies fired up on Toy Story Mania, then they'll bugging mommy and daddy for a wallet-sized picture of President Lincoln so they can play the boardwalk games. It makes perfect sense.

Wow, I had no idea Billy Bob was such a dick.

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"

^ Fixed.

Judas Priest - Freewheel Burning. Rob Halford was one of the best screamers ever.

Big Mike, I'm going to bend the rules and vote for 4 of the ladies, instead of just 3. As for the reasons they'd be great for you... Well, if I have to tell you, then you really need more help than I could provide in a written explanation. Here are all 4 of my choices, conveniently all together in the same picture. P.S. I do realize we were supposed to vote for one the named TPR Hotties. This post was mainly just for fun, and a good excuse to give this particularly fabulous picture a little more well-deserved exposure.

The last time I checked, the internet worked just fine in Egypt.

After last night's episode I'm starting to think the "Others" may be the crew of the Black Rock. Yeah, I realize the time periods don't align, but that's kind of out the window at this point in the show. I have no idea if that's correct, or what significance it may have. Just something that struck me for no particular reason. I thought the Egyptian hieroglyphics were kind of an unsuspected aspect of Ben's encounter with the smoke monster. Perhaps a symbol that the mysterious "powers" of the island had been discovered far earlier than we may have imagined? At least the show is back to being entertaining for now, even if they didn't do anything other than leave us with more questions.

It's better to burn out than to fade away - Neil Young It may have been better if this failed park had simply stayed failed.

Yes, amazingly enough, she actually did like that ride and was sad when I told her they removed it. Incidentally, if you're who I think you are, I believe both my wife and I spoke to you in the smoking area for a while before the gates opened for WCB this year. If I'm mistaken, please accept my apologies, if not, it was nice talking to you there and I'm sure we'll see you again nest year, if not sooner. The final brake run was where I regained consciousness.

I usually don't intentionally say much, other than maybe talking to whoever happens to be riding with me (Usually my wife, or one of our kids) during the lift. I do often find myself laughing during rides and I may occasionally let out a "Whoa!" if some particular part of a ride catches me by surprise. This is pretty uncharacteristic of me, but one time I yelled out, "Someone get me a spinal surgeon" during the final brake run on Ghostrider. The entire train burst in laughter. It was pretty funny. I was actually half serious though. My wife, who is usually relatively quiet on rides, laughed hysterically while, and after, riding Psyclone at SFMM. Upon returning to the station and seeing nobody in the queue, she insisted on re-riding. The kids went back on with her while my sister and I politely declined and waited for them, only to see them come back to the station and insist on riding yet again. I'm pretty sure the ride gave them brain damage.

I still remember Orleans Orbit (The name was shortened to just Orbit at some point) at Marriot's Great America being the first ride I ever went on that went upside down. I recall looking out to the side of the gondola and watching the horizon flip over, again and again. It was a pretty amazing experience at the time, and I will always have fond memories of riding it. I was a little sad when we went a few years back and the ride was closed down. I thought they were possibly going to remove it. Thankfully it did re-open and it continues to operate as far as I'm aware. Other than when it was closed, I don't think I've ever neglected to ride it when we've visited MGA/PGA/CGA.
