What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

I want to go to either Whitman College, Lewis & Clark College, Cornell University, or Tufts University. They are all great schools and I'd be thrilled to go to any of them. Well, Cornell is kind of scary actually. I'm not sure if I could handle it! I'd like to study Journalism or Molecular Biology/Biochemistry. Mark "One more year!" Luskus

I think many of the problems had to do with the train not latching onto the catch car of the second tower, which would result in stalling. I've also heard about lots of computer errors. The ride itself was pretty rough, though the vertical towers were pretty cool. Unfortunately, in my experience, when the train catches the catche cars, it shakes pretty violently.

My day was good! It started off with a trip to the oral surgeon so that my stitches could be removed from my wisdom teeth extravaganza. It was quick and painless. After that I headed over to school for a meeting on "Quaker decision making". It was HYSTERICAL (Not purposefully). I enjoyed making snide remarks to my friend Jess, though I did have to hold back a bit. I figured this was the first time my teachers have seen me in three months and I should somewhat behave. After the meeting, Jess and I headed over to Starbucks where I got an iced chai latte. It was lovely. On the way home from Starbucks I swung by CVS to refill my perscriptions. Tonight I went downtown with Jess and our friend Nate to a Hawaiin/French fusian restaurant as an "end of summer" excursion. It was delicious, but a bit more expensive than I had hoped for. Afterwards we walked to Capogiros, the BEST gelato place in town. I got Papaya and Macademia (two flavors, one cup). It was tasty. Now I'm home. Mark "Good day overall!" Luskus

A Classic Ride opens at Knoebels
QuakerOaties replied to RCoasterny's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I remember seeing one on a show about Whalom park a couple years back and ever since then I've wanted to ride one. Maybe its time I make a visit to Knoebels. Mark "Its only 2 1/2 hours away but I have yet to go there this season!" Luskus -

I'm posting in this thread to push the power of the Mac. Get an iBook! I've had mine for 15 months and I love it. It never freezes, it's nice looking, it's programs are great (And you can buy Microsoft office), user friendly, and most college campuses are mac friendly. A $1,299 iBook has... -14inch screen -1.42 Ghz G4 processor -512 Mb memory (Upgraded to 1gb for $150) -60Gb hard drive Of course, if you like video games go with the PC.

Nice pics! How is it living in a foreign country? If I was plopped in Europe for three years I'm not sure if I'd be freaked out or completely and utterly thrilled. Mark "Notre Dame is huge" Luskus -

Glad to see you made it safely back to college. And too bad that wasn't porn on your TV. You might as well get as much porn in as you can before you go back to having a roommate! Mark "Certainly one of the nicer dorm rooms I've seen" Luskus -
I'm flattered! Mark "I do find British accents to be very attractive " Luskus

My parents just gave me permission to go on a four week European trip next summer with my friend Nate, the cliche (yet amazing) American high school graduation trip. But I have a bit of a problem... Where do I start? I'm not asking for specific places to visit or information on transportation (well, for now), but more like certain books and websites to help my friend and I figure out the best possible itinerary and to make sure that we don't overlook any hidden gems.

Heres a picture of a game night at my house. There were many of these during the summer... Suburbia lacks any real excitement! Mark "The walls aren't actually pink..." Luskus Game Night

Favorite brand of bottled water!

I really like Fiji. I'm not sure if its because it tastes any better or because I'm thinking of a faraway exotic place while drinking it. Mark "Mmmm Fiji..." Luskus -
Playground Trip Report!

It looks nice, but as much as I hate to say it, not something I'd expect to see at the Magic Kingdom. Mark "At least it's Pooh" Luskus -
