I keep thinking the kid's name is Elijah, but it's Isaiah. ISAIAH!* Eric *True story. Really!

"Peeeeeple." Where do the stairs on an escalator go once they reach the top/bottom of it?

Both cars will be reliable, but the edge goes to Honda. As for which to buy? Get the Honda. Who'd want a car that looks like it has a goofy grin coming at you. Eric

^ That's your own fault for trying to grow them in the off-season. I live in Ventura County where strawberries are the biggest cash crop, so I should know... Eric

Probably some smart aleck who just wanted to shoot off his mouth... Why hasn't Coca Cola made Pineapple Coke?

^ I don't take capacities from manufacturers' websites too seriously. X was supposed to run about 1500/hour through with three trains running. Think it ever reached that? Eric

^^ I think a Splash Battle would be very popular out at SFMM. A few times I've thought about that, but again, what kind of capacity does it have? Eric

^ Having said that, though, I don't know what kind of capacity THBS/DK have. If either is fairly slow to load and move people, then it might not be a good fit for SFMM. Perhaps that's one reason why DK was rejected previously. (The never-built DK at SFNE was offered to SFMM, but they turned it down---so I heard.) Eric

Because they can stand on a mountain and watch trainload after trainload of people go by on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and not even flinch. Why can't they build an engine that never needs its oil changed?

^ Whenever there's a budget crisis, for some reason, education gets hit the worst. I've seen this for decades. Personally, I think by cutting education, they're trying to keep us dumb so we won't be able to figure out what they're up to. Eric

^ They're at Disneyland, finding Nemo. Eric

What about Wiggles World? Could that have a "children's ride?" Interesting that nothing was said about the previously announced coaster for 2010. But if the new ride is a Tony Hawk or Dark Knight coaster, it doesn't bother me. Like it said in the article, laying low on giant coasters year after year after year will ensure the long term survival of Six Flags. Then they can build bigger and better rides, just not as many and as often. And I think we already know that SFMM is one of the chain's premier parks. Eric

There is never a bad time for a slice of pie. And cheese rules, especially if it's Cheddar! Eric

So, the Hoosier Hurricane is full of good hairtime! Eric

In my experience and observation, running three trains on Riddler is almost pointless because of slow loading for the reasons listed above. Three trains on work OK on Tatsu if both stations are open. Exceptions, of course, would be a kickass crew that can get everyone secured and make sure loose articles are where they're supposed to be, in a pay-per-use box located in the queue somewhere. Eric

^ That's unpossible. I'm the National Speling Champ. Eric

As long as you carry the 'y' and double the bananas. Should you microwave food on a cracked plate?

Heck no! It's only a couple of buses, a subway, and a light rail line away. What makes glue sticky?

I've never been a fan myself, but if there's still some life left in the show, then keep it going. Do you know exactly what color your brain is?

Our street was supposed to be resurfaced last week. Right now, it's still torn up and driving on it is like driving down a street in the Old West. Get 'er done, Camarillo, get 'er done already. Eric

No problems with any ride "junkwise." Make your own conclusions... Eric

"her name is Lola" ...she was a showgirl, but that was 30 years ago... Sorry, quoting the lyrics from Copacabana... Anyway, congratulations on being an uncle. I remember when I became one at age 21. Eric

^ Some Christians do go WAAAYYY overboard with their faith. My mom says, "Some Christians are so heavenly minded, they're no earthly good." I don't know where she got that, but I really like that. I know too many people who speak what I call "Scripture-ese." They can't seem to hold a conversation about anything without invoking a verse from the Bible or some other religious phrase, admonition, condemnation, or whatever. And I'm saying this as a Christian myself. Eric

It's a tie between Lassie and the one from Canadia...forgot his name... How do they determine how many pixels are in the resolution of digital photos?

^ Still here. < Partly left handed. V Fully underhanded!
