You can has cheezburger here. How do they put the grooves in tires?

I was hoping to get my 2008 proof set from the mint today, but it didn't come. Maybe Monday? Eric

It's a trick by the glue companies to get you to eat it and like it, then you'll buy more. What does panda taste like?

^ Close to Mexico. < 200 miles from Mexico. V 200 miles from normal!

I'll tell ya what it's time for---me to get off of here and go to bed. Eric

Absolutely, yes. Do you have the Timberline Twister credit at Knott's?

^ Needs to learn about So-So. < Drinks Diet Coke in SoCal. V Drinks Diet Pepsi in his NeeSan!

Be sure to learn the major CAD programs, too---AutoCAD, SolidWorks. Even if you don't get into coaster design, those programs will help you in other fields as well. I've been working with CAD for over 20 years, and I've enjoyed it quite a bit. Eric

^ Too bad about your fireworks. I did indeed walk over to the high school. Got there about five minutes before the show, watched, then walked home without a hassle. Out of this, I got three miles of walking, and the pleasure of watching a lot of people stuck in traffic trying to get out of the parking lot while I just went by without a hitch. Eric

They're both good, but go with Intamin. Eric

I think I'm going to get off of here and walk over to the high school to watch fireworks. It'll take me less than half an hour to get there. Eric

I have not been to New Orleans, but I'd like to go one day. It was pretty cool that they built an entire city modeled after an area of Disneyland. Walt would have been honored. Eric

^ First of all, I laughed pretty hard at your question. I've read the one about the blind wearing sunglasses, but never the deaf wearing earmuffs! Second, I'll answer it: It's the same reason that people who smell don't cover their noses. Why do some people call a cup a "glass" when it's obviously made of plastic?

^ Sorry to hear about your friend. It is hard to cope with losing someone, and much harder when you're close. Thankfully I haven't lost too many people---family, friends. You'll always have the memories of your time with them. That is priceless and can never be taken away. Eric

^ Maybe because the new monorails at Disneyland are sooo cool already that they don't need A/C? Seriously, I'm sort of surprised that this was overlooked. But they'll fix it. Eric

^ rools r mayd 2 b borken... Some people just take longer to "get it" than others. Eric

^ Get the jalapeno flavored ones. Those are good. Eric

Because sometimes the town square is round...some sort of yin-yang thing, I guess. Why is some food green when it's spoiled, and some is better the greener it gets?

^ Lives in SoCal. < Lives in SoCal. V Lives in So-So!

^^ Parents in the Santa Clarita Valley will. Even with all of the "family" improvements, SFMM will still serve as their babysitter. A $200 pass is still cheaper than leaving the kids at home. And with the park having cleaned up its act, I think once the word gets out, most will still pay the $200. Eric

"Holy hell, it's Pumbaa!" (JimmyBo) Sorry, but I have never set foot in Phoenix. You must have me mixed up with someone else! And congratulations on your engagement! Eric

"< Started drinking at age 4" (i am legend--in bed) Fail on two counts---the drinking and the screen name. I hate to get serious on you, but my brother started drinking at an early age, and today he's a 43-year-old drunkaholic who can't hold a job. Unless you're kidding, you might want to reconsider some things. [/Dad] Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled game... ^ Pirate who's poisoned. < Non-pirate. V Non-smart!

"I'm the most unlucky person in this world." (smartestcoasterkidever) I don't think the word is "unlucky..." Eric

^ I don't know, but I bet it would have a snippy attitude and a wit right on the cutting edge. How wide should a monorail track be?

And remember that at both West Coast Bash and on June 1, we were told that SFMM will once again "regain the coaster crown." So enthusiasts haven't been forgotten. But the park started in 1971 as a family park. Even the brochure had on the front of it "The West's New Family Funland." Families have money. And that's what the company is aiming at. One more thing---and I told Jay Thomas this in person---they need to charge $200 for the Xtreme Play Pass. Totally worth it for what you get, really. My own pass has paid for itself several times this year already---and the year is just half over. Eric
