Sir Clinksalot

^ I agree with you there. And as a 49ers fan, I was thrilled to see him go. A friend of mine here at work (A Philly fan) told me we can have him back. No thanks.

Glad you guys are home, we missed you!!! Good thing Rattums cleaned up after that freaky Hamster party he had the other night. I heard it was off the heezee ...

^ Because I don't remember the last good Dodgers / Yankees series. And my other team, the Angels can handle the Yankees. I tell you what, I wouldn't hate the Giants as much as I do if it weren't for Barry Bonds.

^ That was my thought as well. Is it time for Rush to come back out on tour yet???

Screw the Giants. We actually really wanted to go to an Angels game (a team that can actually win a few games) but they were gone this past weekend. Plus it's kinda far to the "Big A". (I refuse to call it that other name) Back to the day, thanks for all of the nice comments. I didn't get around to re-sizing the rest of the pics, maybe tomorrow.

http://www.timesheraldonline.com/ci_2837318 I don't know why a kid who works at Six Flags thought he was smart enough to fool anybody. Then again, $10 to park is ridiculous, maybe they had it coming. Here is the story:

So freaking cool!!! I love Rush!!!!!

http://www.bobbysbrane.com/animation%20fun/animation-fun.html And you thought the Soarin' RCT3 thing was good. This is totally amazing, even if you aren't a Rush fan, you will enjoy it.

Awesome TR's Derek. Looks like you had a great Solo weekend. Hope to get out to Branson soon. Looks like it would be a good place for the kids as well.

Yeah, hop over to the video contest page, click on "Shut Up and Smile,' and decide for yourself how much I like Beverly. Even though it is about as tasty as drinking soda water out of a bum's bum, it was still one of those "things you have to do" while you're at Epcot. Even if the theming didn't match, I still thought Ice Station Cool was a nicely done area even if Disney never really bothered to call any attention to it on the park maps (then again, why would you want to point out a place where liquid products are free?). I hope Club Cool maintains the freebies, but I'm not holding my breath. And as bad as Bev may be, the nastiest thing I've ever had was some lukewarm Malt Goya. I would have killed for some Beverly to wash that foul taste out of my mouth.

I really enjoyed your TR's! It looked like you had loads of fun. Wish I could've been there Sören, does Michael Schumacher come from Bavaria? I've only seen him in his Ferrari suit! I'm a big Schumi fan and can't imagine him wearing lederhosen!

Never been. I don't live anywhere near one! What's the most disgusting thing you've ever drank/eaten? (Mine is milk. Milk is evil )

I was over at (another park site - ain't getting free advertising from me) and I saw a picture of a partially demolished Ice Station Cool. What the hell? I hadn't heard a peep about Ice Station Cool being on the chopping block. Am I going to have to start going to World of Coke in Atlanta to get my fill of that delicious Italian treat? Anyone know the official line on this? Is it getting replaced by a churro stand? What gives? EDIT - I'm a moron who apparently missed hitting certain of my regular sites last week (I was tired, I guess). I dunno how this one slipped under my radar, as Beverly is a park tradition. No more, I guess. I guess they must have figured out that no one was buying cokes anymore; they were just going to Ice Station Cool and filling up their water bottles with Beverly.

I will re-size and put the rest of the pics up on our photo site tomorrow. They include more Dodgers and Hooters.

Ride Rattler at SFFT in the front ONLY!! When we went last year, Rattler in the front was a top 10 coaster, held my #1 spot for awhile. Back row it was crap. SFOT - TX Giant go for the front as well. Judge Roy Scream is a fun coaster, not very big so I don't think it matters. SFAW - I didn't ride the woodie here but I think the back gives some sick air.

SLAYER!

It is really foggy today. I hope it burns off so we can go to the beach!

He will forgive you and want to go again next time....

Amanda and Josh were doing the SLAYER thing in the car today, wish I had a camera! They looked evil I have corrupted my children!

Cute pictures!! Looks like Gavin had a fun time It was crowded there!

Josh was quite the stud and enjoyed every minute of it! Look at that smile on his face! Wally, it was a SLAYER! good time, wish you were with us!!!

We had been always talking about taking the kids to a Dodger game but never had gotten around to it until yesterday. We left for the stadium around 10:45 and got there by 12:15 or so. Gotta love LA traffic. Our original seats were sort of high up, so Gregg decided we should try to upgrade them. A few minutes later, we had tickets in a great spot, orange section for those of you that have been there. We were in the shade the whole time and there was a nice breeze so it was not too miserable. The game was good, the Dodgers lost 7-5(shocker!). Amanda and Josh got to have their first Dodger Dog and loved it. I think they also managed to have nachos, peanuts and pretzels throughout the game also. After the game we met up with Justin and his girlfriend and went down to 3rd St. in Santa Monica. It had been about 10 years since Gregg and I went there and I had forgot how many freaks are there!! We decided to go to Hooters for dinner. Let me tell you, this place is not as bad as I had thought it would be. Sure the waitresses wear skimpy outfits, but it was a fun atmosphere and the I think we all had a fun time. The only downfall was that you sit on like barstools and they were not real comfy. The bathroom was in the basement and kinda freaky looking. Josh loved the attention he got when he had his picture taken with the Hooters chicks. The food was good, I would definitely go back. After all this excitement at Hooters , we walked down 3rd St some more, watched some of the freaky performers they have, went through the mall, and out to walk to the pier. We could see the coaster as we were walking and decided to get that credit. It was freaking cold! If you ever go to the beach at night, take a jacket and wear pants! We reluctantly paid the $4.50 :shock: each to ride the coaster. What a joke! It was not a terrible coaster by any means, however it was not that thrilling either. For $4.50 you get to ride it twice. I think I laughed the whole time. We got off the ride, more freezing than before and headed back to 3rd St. We said our goodbyes to Justin and went through the scary parking structure to leave. We got home and we were all pooped. It was a really fun day. Here are some pictures to share: Justin in the mall SMURRF! It should be blue. Josh finally did SLAYER! Amanda and I on the ride...I look SO thrilled! Justin and I in line for the great coaster, freezing. Had to ride to get another credit.. Yay, Pacific Park They are opening a Bubba Gumps, the sign says Summer 2005 but didn't look ready to us. Some wacky performer who was tossing bowls and stuff... We even got the Hooters girls to do SLAYER! Josh was the stud of the evening and made some new friends. Hooters Girls doing the YMCA on the barstools.. Justin and our waitresses Justin was thirsty! Kristi happy to be at Hooters Justin got a cool hat for his birthday...SLAYER! Penguins rock! SLAYER!!!!!!!! Kristi and Josh Gregg, Amanda and Josh Dodgervision Go Dodgers! Dodger Stadium

If you go to a Dodger game make sure you take some aspirin or something for when all the "thundersticks" get to your head! Those things are loud and when you have everyone around you smacking them together it can get really hard to keep your sanity!!

^^ Thanks for the advice. I think we will pass then and wait for dvd. Plus it isn't playing anywhere around us. I think we will see either "War of the Worlds" or "Bewitched".

Happy Birthday Justin!!! Welcome to the 30 club !!! It was fun hanging out with you guys yesterday. Hope you have a great 30th birthday. SLAYER!
