What a moron! All rides stop occasionally, and being stuck on Tatsu in that position really isn't that uncomfortable. This guy sounded like a troublemaker anyway. Eric

"CHARLIE BROWN'S SPEEDWAY What's this? The Whip? I always liked The Whip and I haven't seen one in years. Too bad this one is just for the kids!" (tkkyj) I've ridden this, and your picture shows an adult on it, so I think you could ride. As I recall, it was kind of fun. Nice view of Pony Express from the tower. This is the first time I've seen it in all of its extents. The ride covers a larger area than I thought it would. Eric

I'm looking, too. Funny how something as straight forward as technical writing seems to be an elusive position to find. To anyone who may post in this topic: do listen to what Teacups is saying. As a recruiter, she knows what the current hiring trends are and will be a great help to you. Eric

^ I like Pearls Before Swine. Especially the stupid crocodiles that talk funny! Eric

^ What was funny is that the people I was with hadn't ridden in the back row, so we went there. I told them that the pretzel loop was going to kick their butt, but they had to find out for themselves! As Tatsu goes, front seat is where I ride. Eric

I make better spaghetti than Buca di Beppo, so I'll say...yes. In honor of its imminent demise, did you ever ride the Rim Runner at Circus Circus?

I think the event should be expanded to include bullying of all types. People suffer because of their religious beliefs, their color, their ethnicity, their interests, their size, their weight, their looks...why are we limiting this to sexual orientation? Larry King, the kid who was shot back in February, was killed a few blocks from where I used to work. That was a tragic event, to be sure. But we need to focus on bullying in general. Eric

I got an e-mail from my cousin's wife (who is good at regular family updates, actually). What bothered me is that, like too many others, she's picked up the habit of using "&" instead of the word "and." Now, that makes sense when that's a part of a company's name, a title, etc., but to read regular text filled with &s is annoying. I would think that typing the word "and" would be easier than having to hold down the Shift key and hitting the "7" key. Eric

The best lolcats are found here. If something bears repeating, should you repeat it? Or will you be accused of being repetitive? Eric

Engage in a duel...sunrise...at the hanging tree... Why does the Tatsu station bear a slight resemblance to a McDonald's?

^ When I went last week, they did direct us with Flash Passes to the west side of the station, while directing the "regular" riders to the east side. Eric

^ I did a little research (which I really should have done first). Wikipedia says that Rim Runner is an Arrow Dynamics ride. I thought "Vekoma" because of the final drop's similarity to the Jurassic Park rides with the conveyor belt thing before the drop. I didn't think Arrow did that on its flumes---regular or large ones. Research will continue. But I think that the Adventuredome should still have some sort of water ride, even another flume---just not a splashwater type. Eric

^ Plays the organ...kind of. < Eats organic food...sometimes. V Eats insects...often!

I was looking at the birthday list for today, and I noticed that an unusually high number of members have "428" somewhere in their user name. Maybe I should have mine changed to "EBL801." Eric

Yep, I can drive. Did you get a tax refund this year?

Why not, big snot?! Why are cups smaller on the bottom than the top?

Per day? No. Is there a public bus/train/light rail/subway line close to your home?

I vote yellow. And this was a great TR. Eric

Did Canyon Blaster get new trains? I know the color scheme is different from the original, but I just thought they were painted. I think Rim Runner is a Vekoma ride, similar to Jurassic Park as I recall. Eric

I wonder what kind of Internet connection the Cyber Cafe has...T1? Certainly something faster than DSL. Eric

A hangman in training. Why did they make CDs round?

^ LOL!!! That reminds me of the lunch lady we had in junior high---"Sea Hag," we called her. She'd "remind" you to throw your trash away by saying, "Remember---Trash Can it!" Eric

When Diana's ready, we go eat. Eric

I've only waited in Deja Vu's "regular" line once, and we were assigned to a particular seat. Ever since, I use the single-rider line---and get assigned to a seat anyway. But at least I don't wait as long. Eric

Must...visit...Knoebels...someday... Eric
