Sexy new picture of me wearing the new line of Scad tower clothing

I think I've done that once. Visit more than one Wal*Mart in one day to find a certain product.

such a detailed report Soren. I wonder what the employee was thinking when you were taking pictures while giving the money and getting the food

John, I got a coupon for half of admission tickets for up to four people. I'm also bringing a friend so you, Rebecca, Rich, and possibly Rich's friend can use the coupon. Also, if you didn't get my e-mail I sent you, I informed you that I got saturday off, as for a meeting location, we need to set that up.

hey Belle, I noticed that your Dreyer's Ice Cream is called Edy's on the East Coast.

I got it, even though I haven't seen the sign. I had to, hehe Even Jesus Hates Mass-Holes

yeah it was, isn't it a great song to almost die to?

here's my fridge and the basement freezer freezer door if you guys were curious what happens to rude customers that I deal with...Well, they are chopped up and put into this freezer in our basement Freezer door we stuffed the sh*t out of our freezer Fridge door Inside the fridge

^ I'm actually going bowling tonight.

Wow, that was the greatest Photo TR. Now we gotta see how much lower we can get. Craiggers "I'm thinking of a sitting at my computer TR" K.

^ oh sorry, i forgot to mention that. Hades: about 20 minute wait Dive to Atlantis: 1hr wait Zeus, Cyclops, Pegasus, Avalanche: Walk On All the Go-Karts: at least 20 minutes wait each Water slides: dunno, we didn't hit up the waterpark [Edit] I edited the main post too, I got the new video link which has the file as a .wmv format so it's a smaller file and it should work if you use Windows Media Player.

first off, I got two and from Wisconsin safely. and I enjoyed my four day vacation away from work to visit the land of cheese, now onto the trip report Mall of America The first thing my parents and I did was when we flew into Minneapolis on friday afternoon was visit Mall of America, and for one good reason...Credit Run. This has been my second time I've visited Snoopy Camp in MoA, and the last time I've been there was when I was a kid and at that time I hated coasters, I didn't even want to ride Pepsi Ripsaw, But this time, I wanted to hit the coaster with full force. When we got into the park I bought my points ticket and the first ride i hit was Timberland Twister. It's the same exact thing as MSP, but there are a few differences which are.. - No Singles line - Entire ride is elevated higher than MSP due to paths below the ride. My thoughts about it, I enjoyed it, I did notice it's not as smooth as MSP, but that's because MSP is still brand new. Pepsi Ripsaw is another fun coaster, they only run one train but it zips along the track. I enjoyed it. When we headed out of the mall, I saw bowling on the 4th floor so I did one game of bowling and I did not like the alley. First off, the entire place was lit up with dark lights, and when I bowled, it was like I was bowling on fake wood. Mount Olympus On Sunday, my parents took me down to the Wisconsin Dells since the primary reason I wanted to come along to Wisconsin with my parents was to hit Hades and Avalanche. I also met up with Dave (Kneemeister) at the dells. the first ride we hit was Hades which was freakin amazing! If you ever get out to the dells, make sure to hit this ride. As most of you know when looking at the pictures, the train drops out of the station, but it's hard to tell where it goes from there. well, the train zips around some turns and little hills right before going up the lift hill. when you hit the top, you go down the first drop into the tunnel where you can not see where you are going. While traveling through the tunnel it is pitch black and all you feel is the train bouncing around in the messed up track and then making the 90 degree bend. When going through the bend, it happens so quick, the only way you can tell you're 90 degrees is when looking at the end and seeing the world on its side. That's what Dave said. Then it goes through the part on the opposite side of the parking lot, then back into the tunnel for some more bumps and turns and the final part of the ride. This coaster does not have trim brakes and when riding it, it does not feel like it gradually slows down. It feels like it's going the same speed as you started off when riding into the brake run. Positive remarks - amazing tunnel element - seems like it maintains a good speed - wait times aren't that long - It's Hades, nuff said. Negative remarks - one train operation, no transfer track for a second train. - theres one turn right before the brake run that's a bit rough. Of course we spent a full day at Mount Olympus and we hit almost all the coasters except dive to atlantis due to long lines and the kiddie coaster. Reason why we didn't hit Dive to Atlantis was the line was an hour wait and it wasn't worth it since they only have three cars. That's it. My second favorite coaster at Mount Olympus was Cyclops. Dave said that this is the ride where you have to be 18 years or older to ride in the back car. And they even had to take off the last car of the train because the coaster was so intense. I was a bit nervous so we rode the last seat and omg, that ride has ejection airtime just like phoenix. The hill next to the station caused me to almost fly out of my seat and land on the seat divider between dave and I. My favorite go-kart track was the Helio's track right next to the baseball cages. Reason why... I came in first in the go-kart race and I got 5 laps in while everyone else got 4. I started off in the second spot with my Mom in the lead, I tried to pass her on the right but she cut me off causing me to hit her, so I pulled back and passed her on the left, and from there I gunned it and zipped around. Extreme World During our time at Mount Olympus, we headed over to Extreme World because they had a Scad tower and I wanted to ride it. I did shell out 40 bucks for it but it was worth the thrill of free falling 100ft into a big net. When going up, I had no fear, I wasn't nervous, and I was ready for the thrill of just free falling with no cables attached. Riding this ride makes me less interested in Skycoaster since on Skycoaster, you're attached to cables. whats the point in getting the feeling of free falling when you got cables. After riding Terminal Velocity (That's what the Scad Tower was called) twice, I bought the DVD and I got it uploaded onto the internet for you guys to enjoy www.kneebush.com/craig/ScadTower.wmv Timber Falls Adventure Park After hitting Mount Olympus, Dave, my parents, and I headed over to Timber Falls so Dave and I could get one ride in of Avalanche. This is an amazing ride and I wished we rode it in the back seat since that ride has some excellent airtime hills. We sat in the front so we didn't get a lot of airtime. So heres another tip, if you guys do go out to the dells and choose to ride Avalanche, try the back seat and see if you do get more airtime then the front seat. Ride Wait Times Hades: about 20 minute wait Dive to Atlantis: 1hr wait Zeus, Cyclops, Pegasus, Avalanche: Walk On All the Go-Karts: at least 20 minutes wait each Water slides: dunno, we didn't hit up the waterpark Now onto the photos finally Avalanche has like a square layout that goes around the entire park Dave in line for Avalanche Entrance to Timber Falls which only has two rides and mini golf. You hit the net pretty fast and hard. I'm falling with no cables attached. The ride-op said that the distance between the bucket and the net is 100ft. Then I say it's maybe another 25-40ft from the net to the base. Some other guy and I accending to the top of the tower Looking out towards Mount Olympus Base of the Scad Tower. Hades in the back with Zeus in the front. Does anyone notice that the Hot Dog has a thing for ketchup...or is it just me since my mind is always in the gutter. Hades train dropping out of the station Dive to Atlantis...The line was at least an hour long all day. Hades from the parking lot.

^ Is that made with the kurumi.com sign maker program?

wow, good timing. I will be home that weekend, so I'll see what I can do about getting work off. I'll talk to you early next week after I get back from Wisconsin

Hey John, when will you and Rebecca be visiting SFNE? The park is only 20 minutes from my house and I wanted to know if you want to meet up.

^ what you do is, pick any picture you want and make sure it's sized 155X155 or less. Then you go to Profile > Profile Tab > Avatar Tab > select the file you want > Submit. For the avatars of the week, you need photoshop or Paint (photoshop is better though), and create your avatar that fits the theme. Then again, make sure it's size to 155 x 155 or less and load it onto your profile

^ actually, you and I are neck and neck.

^ what he means is, the computer did not reset the storeboard to start a new game, so it always stayed on the first game. When they each bowled after that, the lady thought they were just bowling for fun and decided to charge them .25 cents each time they bowled the ball down the lane. Is that what you mean Kroger?

The Mark Twain: A leisurely paddle steamboat navigating the Rivers of America in the 19th Century! A venerable Disneyland institution, you date to opening day in 1955 and respresent stablity, tradition, and a healthy dose of Americana. You never make your passengers seasick (in part due to the fact that you role along your secret underwater track) and always offer some great panoramic views of a Frontier mining town, New Orleans, and back woods glimpses of wildlife and injuns straight out of a Samuel Clemens tale! Small children and old folks like you best, but that doesn't mean you don't know how to get out and enjoy the nightlife, you play "Steamboat Willie" in the nightly production of the Fantasmic! Spectacular. Just one question, just how is that you are always managing to be headed "down river"? How ironic...Mark Twain also lived in Connecticut.

I modified the avatar so it's different from the large version. Now you can read everything

took me a while, but it's a shame since I gotta have it under avatar size since you won't be able to see what the for sale sign says...so I'll include the enlarged version. I went for a divorsed princess real estate agency. Where the princes get half of a castle with a special added touch. avatar size Regular Size

my guess it that it was probably a spec of dust. [Edit] A possible orb is also in the first picture of the girl sitting in the chair. [/edit]

were you drunk in the last photo? because your missing the key hole completely with the key. This inspires me to do a work TR of my days at the store.

Yeah, so I'm following in Soren's steps, but I have added a video which shows how I bowl and how some of my friends bowl...now onto the report It was a extremely muggy and humid tuesday evening, and if it's Tuesday, then you'd know it was 1.50 per game night from 8:30 - 11 at Bradley Bowl. So the regulars go which are my friend Bill, Nick, and I. Also joining us in the next lane is my co-workers, Rich, Alan, Rich's girlfriend, and my former co-worker Darlene. Bill, Nick, and I bowled four games, I won the first two and Nick won the last two, but the total score put Nick in the lead and me in 2nd. I broke 100 in the first two games, I got a 88 in my third, and did poorly in the fourth. Mostly because Bill kept saying stuff right when I was bowling so it was throwing me off. Now to let you know, the clips were compiled randomly, so they aren't in any order. http://smileydan84.homeip.net/Craigsvids/Bowling%20Night%207-19-05.wmv Now onto the photos another shot of my bowling stance. Bill tries to taunt me but I can't remember if he failed or not. Bill praises as the ball hits the pins I caught another ball in mid-air. Check out my l33tness stance Bill loves throwing pink 8lb girl balls. And he chucks the ball down the lane without putting his fingers in the holes. Nick bowling

barbie and ken dolls. I had fun undressing both of them, but I always wondered why ken's skin had the boxers grafted to it and yet barbie was completely naked...
