It's too bad that we can't harness the hot air that comes out of some people! Then we'd have enough energy to last till 3050. Eric

I totally missed that thread, but I did go look at it. Maybe I should stop her more often. Eric

Yep, and it's solar powered and tunes into the U.S. atomic clock in Colorado. (Bet you wanted to know all that!) Are you eating pie?

I just now looked at this update and totally had forgotten about this. Maybe I should stop by here more. Eric

All it takes is to watch and listen to our fellow Americans, and you can answer this with a resounding NO!!! Have you ever used an eggbeater?

I used my cell phone today. Eric

Hmmm...I go away for awhile, then lose my job, then go to Florida for a week, come back, and find out that Elissa's pregnant? Wow!!! I will not say "congrats" because I can't stand that word. However, I will say "congratulations" and wish both of you all the best. Speaking from experience, watching a child grow up is one of the most wonderful things you can go through. I am most pleased with what I have. Hope to see you guys soon. Eric

A little off-topic, but it was nice meeting you, Erik, during the Westcoaster staff trip at Epcot a week and a half ago. Looks like the TPR trip was fun, too. When I looked at your pictures in this topic, it seemed like I was just there a couple of days ago. Maybe because I went to the parks so many times while I was there. Eric

I had a great trip to Florida. Among the cool things that happened there: We saw the fire barge blow off its excess fuel after park closing. I got a five-minute wait on Incredible Hulk with a 90-minute posted wait time. I won't say how. Our group got front-of-the-line access to everything at Universal's HHN. 'Ohana. Twice. Need I say more? A guy riding an ECV backed up into another one. I had to wait to get outside before I could laugh. Epcot's International Food and Wine Festival. There's more, but this is enough to post about for now. Eric

You sure drink a lot of Coke Zero! Eric

^^ Sorry to hear about that. Peanut butter RULEZ!!! Eric

^ Sittin' by a dude he doesn't like. < Sittin' alone. V Sittin' on the throne!

^ Listening to a new album. < Listening to a computer fan. V Listening to a catfight (the kind with women!).

It's 12:40am! Why am I sitting here? Eric

I don't travel very much, so when you ride the same rides over and over, you get tired of them. Another thing, I've lost almost 80 lbs. from my highest weight, so I don't have the "padding" to guard against the slamming of some rides. That's a real turn off. And I'll join some of the others in saying that you have to have other things in your life. I've learned that, too. My interest is still there; otherwise why would I be here? It's just not eating, drinking, sleeping, breathing roller coasters anymore. Eric

"is it wrong to be craving coke at 9.00 am in the morning" (zaneymon) Heck no. I drink a Diet Coke at 8am some days. There's never a bad time for a Coke---or pie! Eric

^ Maybe it's the retired senior citizens who are angry! Eric

I test drove a 2006 Honda Civic and got a $1000 shopping spree. Oh, and I got a free carne asada taco, too. Eric

Yes. They come from other countries. Do you stay up past midnight on a school/work night?

^ TPR shirt wearer. < TPR site visitor. V Thinks TPR means "Toilet Paper Recycler!"

The Matterhorn opened about a month and a half before I was born, so maybe I should get a yearly rehab, too! And, no, the Matterhorn was not the first steel coaster, but it was the first coaster to use tubular steel track. Just settin' the record straight. Eric

I rode that about two years ago, front seat, and I was the only one on it. It had its moments, but I didn't think it was that scary. Eric

Have a burrito. They're on sale this week. Eric

Of all the stuff in the update, what I had to laugh about most was the Rapids Camp Crossing sign---Home of Katy's Kettle? WTF?!? Did someone forget that there's a major water ride in the area? I'll bet everyone hikes up that hill for Katy's Kettle! Well, maybe ACEers... Eric
