I finally got to see the last two episodes. When Ozzy got voted off was priceless. He looked pretty pissed in the jury the following week.

I heard that that video was like 10 years old. -
I only have 2 subscriptions, one to National Geographic and the other to Model Railroader. I don't have a lot of time to get through more then those two each month.

Celebrities and Athletes you've met...
gisco replied to SixFlagsTexas's topic in Random, Random, Random
I couple of years ago I was in Las Vegas at the Forum Shops at Caesars. There in front of the sports memorabilia stores was Pete Rose signing autographs. The sign said for free but what you had to do is go into the store and buy a baseball or poster for him to sign. The cheapest thing for him to sign was like $75.00 Fast forward one year. I'm with my son walking through the shops and we see Peter Mayhew "Chewbacca" signing autographs except no one was. He looked lonely at the table. I told my son the Pete Rose story and when we walk around the corner, there is Pete Rose signing autographs at the memorabilia store again. Both times people were lined up getting there pictures taken and autographs. -
I miss you Lou! I have been looking just not posting much because I have been very busy. Japan was so awesome. You reminded me of a lot of the fun times we had. A great trip with great people. I can't wait to get back to Japan this year even if it is only for a few days and doesn't include Disney.

If people in the US want to have lower gas prices they need to do three things. The price is high because demand is greater then supply. Drill for oil on our own soil and build more refineries are 2 solutions. There is plenty of oil here, we just can't drill for it or refine it because the environmentalist and liberal legislatures have put up road block after road block. The 3rd is to drive less or have more fuel efficient vehicles. I paid $4.03 a gallon

It kind of sounds to me that it was red tape. I can't believe the city would want to stick it SixFlags when they are a major source of revenue to the city and surrounding community. I can see the city wanting to keep SixFlags in check and not be run over by them but cutting off your nose to spite your face is ridiculous.

Six Flags First Quarter Revenue up 35%
gisco replied to Evan1127's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Easter was in March this year, would the attendance still have gone up if Easter had been in April?? Most of the parks were not open last year in March so does this really tell us anything yet? This accounts for only 5% of a years revenue. The stock has only jumped 11% to $1.71 on this announcement. The real test will come at the end of the next quarter. Hopefully the trend will be up. -
$1400 A 26" HDTV and a BluRay DVD player with 4 disks. HD rocks!

First they may just hire you if it is a summer job. They may have you just come in and answer a few simple questions and hire you on the spot. If they have way more applications then spots to fill then what you want is an interview. That will give you a chance to show them who you are and differentiate you from the others. The job you going for is an entry level job and doesn't require rocket science. What they will be looking for is someone who works hard, is dependable and has good social skills. If you get the interview, before you go think of a few things you can tell them that show your a hard worker and dependable. Be prepared to tell them why you want the job. Your social skills will show in the interview. Be yourself. Be confident and try not to give one word answers when they ask you a question. Elaborate, show enthusiasm. That should be enough to get you the job. Good Luck

Expoland to Demolish Fujin Raijin II
gisco replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
No lose on destroying that ride. It was the worst stand-up I have ever rode. Gave me a huge headache. I pretty much gave up on stand-ups until riding Riddler at MM again. Of course then there was MIlky Way ... -
The future of Animatronics?
gisco replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Dude, This thing is amazing. If you don't think so, you don't understand what an achievement this thing is. A robot that can run and jump and has balance. 1.) If they wanted to make it look pretty, they could have easily put a shell on it . They could have made it look like a horse of course. 2.) The slipping on the ice was a demonstration of its balance. They could have easily put pads on the feet so it didn't slip. They wanted to show how it adapted. This thing is cool. -
West Coast Bash 2008 - The Official Thread!

Guy, you need a leason in telling time. It is spring forward in the Spring and fall back in the Fall. So people are not going to be early to church they are going to be late or they are going to miss ERT. If you don't set your clock ahead and show up at 8:15 it will really be 9:15 and your SOL. Bob -
I retract my previous statement. The Fans are making some dumb moves. Voting out one of there stronger players? What are they thinking? I guess they really don't want to win any more immunity and go into a merge down numbers. What is it with Kathy? She has been to Exile island 3 times and doesn't even bother to look for the immunity idol? She calls herself a fan? What an idiot. They only thing that will save the Fans is if they merge next week.

Photo TR: Jahan's Awesome TPR-Midwest Trip Report!
gisco replied to arrowfanman's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
The loose article policy is puzzling. The same kind of thing happened to me in Japan on Thunder Dolphin. All your pockets had to be empty even if they were zippered but they didn't make me take off my sun glasses that didn't have a strap. Go figure -
