^ I enjoyed the great jokes at TTD this year about Miley Cyrus' career ...

^ But...Great Bear is, at least the last few times I was on it and many others have said the same! Have you made it to Hershey and can compare/contrast?

^ Hmmm...I never saw marketing for it when I was at SDC a few months back. "Special" for the holidays? A frozen drink with heat to heat you up? I do not think 'Habenaro' and 'frozen drink' should be combined... I'd rather see this: Special Outlaw Run Habanero "Insert any awesome food but sweet items in the park" entree Speical Outlaw Run Frozen Hot Chocolate Cinnamon Roll drink

That's where I need to escape from reality! Thanks for the share XYZ and reminding me about life outside of the 2+ inches of snow and slush outside right now...

I have yet to encounter some in public, as Robb pointed out, but do know the schools now have kids putting together clubs to watch My little pony during the lunch hour or after school instead of the normal thing (sports, video games, drinking, etc). Lots of high school, college and older adult "clubs" that tend to show up from time-to-time can totally make folks uncomfortable and really weird - what happened to the LAN parties and all the amazing times playing Counterstrike and TF2?! I still think some Hentai I saw while in Japan was interesting, however I could never say the same thing about all this excessive love for ponies, being an extreme Brony in public with stuffed animals, or going to the extreme of getting into Brony porn.

^^^ Wow! TIL...brokeback mountain became a coaster related-movie ad, they formed a bond and a rather amazing international ad in France was created! Il y a tant de films qui meritent d’etre vus

I am so glad to see that my giftee enjoyed the gifts I picked out for him (he posted earlier in the thread) and wasn't sure if I should uncover my secret identity...

It's that time of year to count how many people don't know how to drive! Makes me sick when my commute is 30-1hr plus longer due to people braking for no apparent reason like going UP a hill! Brakes are not there to make YOU feel better about your driving OR to help you stay in your 'comfort zone' - If you are going too fast for your own good, move over to the slow lanes. Be considerate of others and everyone will be safe, simple as that.

"Dude, there was another lift?" Hahaha...priceless alongside this comment right after it... "What the hell was that?" I'd like to at least give a looping mouse a try, the smoother the better.

Blue Foundation - Eyes On Fire (Zeds Dead Remix)

^ Yup... I guess people still look into this a bit too deeply...it was proven certain animals do get depressed when their children are taken away (don't want to list it as my opinion and I cannot find that reference I saw the other day). Perhaps others will also agree or agree to disagree on this specific comment of yours Robb. Then, you have others such as the Orca that helped father a number of small calves in Orlando at one point in time, according to SeaWorld's chief of animal training Chuck Tompkins. You've got me reading now about all this 'companionship' amongst the anti's and complaints that certain animals should be released into the wild or reunited with their families...

All these odd/even, new/old days and *trimesters* (should only be referenced for women giving birth!) are all killing me here...I always grew up with a simple 6,7 or 8hr schedule. What ever happened to a simple old fashioned schedule? Perhaps you like the special schedules that keep you on your toes? The ones I've read in this thread have given my head a spin and I cannot wrap my mind around how folks handle these...

C C Lemon! One of the best drinks I found in Japan

Skull Mountain at SFGAdv is a good one I forgot about since the last time I was there, the queue said 90+ mins and it was all the way outside?! Japan Haunted attractions, especially the crazy hospital one - so amazing...

Holy crap - just listened to the new Glitch Mob song...their new album drops - anyone else a fan of Glitch Mob or think this song is just really good? It seems to work good to add on to my 'go to' mix at work to help get me pumped and focused...

Congrats! I proposed in Vegas at the Bellagio Fountains - some romantic song (I believe it was Frank Sinatra?) set the mood but that was all a blur - I just remember time slowing down while I got down on one knee and looked up at her hoping for a huge smile and a "YES!" ...I was 99% certain, but you never know nowadays. I think the traditional proposal is best, but to each his own... perhaps that's your goal after she opens the best gift ever. It was one of the best times of my life, cherish every moment and don't rush anything that day. Have you figured out how to wrap the 'nice letter' or note? Multiple boxes and layers of duct tape making her work hard for that 'final gift' ?! I wish I knew you and could ask how you got away with 12 yrs before popping the question! Good luck, God Bless, and if you have questions about anything you can always PM me even though we haven't met in person...yet. ---------------- Years later... things changed with her hormones, blah blah blah I wont bore you but am thankful for the time shared with her and still cannot think of a better way I could have proposed at that moment. Single Father and still looking for a woman that can fill the void for the rest of my life

etr102 - I've had good luck with SFGAd when visiting twice during the week over the past few years - my last time in August I only had time to visit on a Saturday and, as the saying goes, do not go on a Saturday! I'd say those lines were unbearable, very slow operations, and worse than 'long lines' I've experienced at CP...I do live nearby CP as well and am thankful for the short drive. I haven't seen the long lines a few folks have mentioned at Hersheypark when visiting a few times - if anything, Fahrenheit you should hit first as that did have a long line all day when i was there last (come back in the evening for it again). Knoebels and Kennywood would be my recommendations as well if you are heading out east - I recently did a Great Adventure, Hershey Park, BGW, and KD trip and had very little lines at all 4 parks - the longest wait was the super slow loading Superman flyer at SFGAd.

Definitely headed to hit a things out east like Lake Compounce - haven't had the luxury to ride Boulder Dash yet. If I can hit up SFGAd I'll spend a good chunk of time on El Toro ... Excited for Banshee and hoping it lives up to its hype, Firechaser and Goliath.

^ Yes, I forgot about that long walk after a nice time at Hirikata - made up for all the beer we tasted.

Great pictures and a good share today, thanks Hanno!

Great report, thanks for the share! I won't be in Chile any time soon but want to visit just for those Tagada's!

I'm sure that I will agree with you 100% once I finally see The Book of Mormon... had to sell my tickets last minute due to a conflict and was pretty bummed.

^ yeah that's starting to make me upset as it's happening more this year than in the past...what really made me mad recently is that on more than one occasion this week, people have said "Merry Xmas" out loud to me which sounds terrible and they won't say Christmas.

^^^ Matilda... huh, didn't see that one coming to the theaters. I still want to see Spamalot or Avenue Q again - huge fan of those since they were so freaking hilarious.

^^ Also pick up an everlasting gobstopper? I really need one of those!
