No problem, but since there's already a thread for this topic, we'll lock this one. Feel free to continue talking about this in the other thread. Thanks! dt

You'll be happy to know this joke was used in your absence in West Coast Trip Chat this week... dt

You know, I was already pretty excited for SFOG and the Deep South trip, and then I saw this: Now I know where I'll be spending all my money... dt

Given the level of guest obnoxiousness behavior we experienced at that ride last year, I'm surprised there isn't a fight every five minutes or so. dt

^As a MD/Baltimore resident, I think G&M is vastly overrated, and was unimpressed the last time I was in there. I had no idea it was sold, but that makes sense. If you tell me your schedule and where you're going to be in MD, I can probably recommend some places to get tasty crab cakes. dt

OK, so when wandering around Vegas, I decided I needed some lunch. I was in the Miracle Mile shopping area at the time, and spotted something called CHEESEBURGER LAS VEGAS. While I wasn't in the mood for a burger, given what I was going to eat that night (which you'll learn about soon), I decided to eat here anyway. I ended up having a chicken salad sandwich, which was pretty tasty. I'll have to try a burger her next time. Now, as always, it's time to play WOULD FALAFEL EAT HERE? Next update soon... dt Chicken salad sandwich, complete with festive umbrella!

Sorry about the lack of updates, I have just been insanely busy with various projects. I'm going to try and get totally caught up with these before I head off to Scandinavia. Anyway, before the next update, it's time to answer the question about the Mesa Grill: WOULD FALAFEL EAT HERE? NO! There is nothing even remotely close to what she might eat here on the menu! So that's the answer, remember to keep score at home!

Absolutely not. Spend the day at Hershey and have an awesome time. DW is barely worth it for a credit run. dt

Loaded in seconds here. Just have standard Comcast cable modem service. dt

^Yeah, you're right. I totally forgot the upfronts are next week. If they're telling the advertisers it will start running in the first quarter, then that's where it will go. dt

^^I'm still thinking that the smoke monster is a separate entity, but other than that, I agree with all your theories. I wasn't sure who Jacob meant when he said "they're coming" but it being the people he touched makes perfect sense. I just hope the rumors of ABC holding the last season of the show until Fall 2010 are not true... dt

This is nine billion kinds of awesome. You rule. dt

Exactly! I enjoyed seeing all the hot shark action! This looks really cool. I've seen these attractions at various parks, but have only only ridden the one at Dollywood, which was awesome fun. I do agree with Elissa that the height restriction is kind of lame, though. And this is a MUCH better use of space than Deja Vu! Maybe SFMM will get a similar idea... dt

That was amazing. I want to ride a stand up Falling Star now. dt

Traffic in Harrisburg is not that bad. It's a small town. Harrisburg West likely means across the river, which puts you further away, so you might want to try for something a bit closer. dt

For image resizing, I highly recommend the free VSO Image Resizer. You just select the images you want to resize, select the new size and file type, and tell it where to save the new images, and off it goes. Super easy to use. I'm not sure why you're having trouble uploading images to the site. Do you get any error messages when you attempt to do so? dt

I'm with what these guys have said. This ride clearly does things it probalby should not do, and it cannot be good for the structure. But if they change the trains, there's no way it will ride the same. It would be very sad if this ride never operated again. I also rate it #3 (behind EGF and Kawasemi), and hope I get a chance to ride it again some day. dt

Best caption ever! dt

Same! I have to say, this parade looked like awesome entertainment, other than the evil Duggar family. I hate parades, but I think I would have sat through this one, given the amazing contents. Thanks for posting this! dt

^^Those guys have awesome hair. dt

If this or any park would allow me to "consult" on their latest installations, they would immediately soar to the top of the attendance lists. Of course, they'd also soar right to the top of the lawsuit list, which is why until someone can build a park on the moon where pesky Earth laws will not apply, this will have to remain a fantasy for all. You guys have no idea what a whore I am. My motto has always been "just be sure to spell my name right on the check". Though I wouldn't sell any of my ideas to Cedar Fair. I have to have some standards... dt

^This is the sort of restaurant that you're likely going to spend about $100/person, especially if you get a bottle of wine or other alcohol. I don't mind paying money for actual quality food, which this place certainly has. The website has a menu with prices for those that are interested. Just be advised that they change the menu all the time, so consider the one on the site more of a "sample" of the types of dishes that will be available when you go. dt

Colin, that looked like a good time. And why are you not following me on Twitter?!? Maybe I have to start giving out prizes... Oh, and this: is awesome. Your woman is amazing. dt

So the next Vegas restaurant I visited was THE MESA GRILL. I had eaten here the last time I visited Vegas, and it immediately got into my person Top Ten Restaurants Ever list. The menu chnages all the time, but it features all sorts of southwestern/TexMex takes on all sorts of differen dishes. If you like interesting spicy food, this is the place to visit! My meal here was just as good as the last one, and I'm pretty sure that I'll be visiting here every time I make it out to Vegas from now on (I was pleased to discover that you can get full menu at the bar, so this means if I have some time during the TPR Vegas add-on, I'll be able to get in for a meal without having to make a reservation). As always, ask yourself WOULD FALAFEL EAT HERE? Enjoy! dt For dessert, it was warm chocolate cake with ice cream. This could easily be labeled as Crack, as it was totally addicting. I don't eat a lot of dessert, but I usually will get one in nicer places like this, since they'll usually employ a really good pastry chef. Anyway, thus concludes my meal at The Mesa Grill! Next Vegas food update soon! Main course was a blue corn crusted halibut with salsa and tomatoes. Spicy and very tasty, I highly recommend this if it's on the menu if you visit. For an appetizer, I had a chicken and black bean quesadilla. Excellent. Any meal here must be started with a tasty margarita! The Mesa Grill is located in Caesar's Palace, and is a Bobby Flay restaurant.

OK, before the next update, we have to answer the question of WOULD FALAFEL EAT HERE? And the answer is... YES!!! This place has a HUGE menu, and it's even possible to find something here that Falafel would eat! Likely chicken strips or pancakes, but still, there is actually food available here for her. Thus concludes the first round. Next part coming up! dt
