^ ^^ Well, in that case, after I'm finished watching Nascar, I'll put on my wife beater, grab a can of Skoal and a six pack of Miller High Life, jump in the ole Chevy and meet you down at that there carnival where I'll show ya how to GIT-R-DONE!!!!! I know it seems pathetic, but after every ride I've been on in my life, this thing still tops 'em all.

Considering what page this is......"Beautiful Disaster" - 311

I actually caught some of the World Series of Darts on tv last night. Is it just me, or does the announcer who calls out the scores sound just like Dickie Barrett of the Bosstones?

Honestly, what does it matter if the man died ON Goliath or not? I think it's pretty safe to say he died as a result of riding Goliath. If Goliath was the last thing he rode before the ambulance, then Goliath is what helped bring about his heart failure. So who gives a flip if he stopped breathing under a clamshell or on an operating table afterwards? To quote Walter from The Big Lebowski: "AM I WRONG?" Scott "when is work over....I need a beer!" B.

Censorship makes me laugh sometimes.

Dude, how many Great Coasters International coasters have you ridden? Oh yeah, that's right, you haven't been out of Florida yet. You should probably quit now. Scott "I mean that in the nicest possible way" B.

If it were all about height and intensity on the human body, then why wouldn't TTD and KK have claimed victims by now? The recent wave of deaths is no different than a couple years back when people were being attacked by sharks every other week. It just happens. This year just more often than others, I guess. I still feel that waiting for hours in extreme heat plays a big role, but I could be wrong.

^^ No, but it sure was implied.

I'm sticking with this theory until I see proof of a coaster.

^ It's hard to argue your HMO point. PAVE SFOG.

^^ jarmor, should we assume that was a stab at sarcasm?

Tip 1. Python is an Arrow. Tip 2. It will be leaving soon, so ride it while you can. Tip 3. It's not as big a "death trap" as it seems. Tip 4. Enjoy. EDIT: How did a Gator beat me to it?

First of all, my prayers are certainly with the family. Secondly, since this has become a "let's bash Gwazi" thread, I've got a question for the mechanically-inclined enthusiasts out there. First off, would a switch to Millennium Flyers be possible, and if so, would that alone help solve Gwazi's problems, or would it take retracking, etc.? I've only had experience riding this the first couple years it was opened....and it was great in my mind. Obviously it has taken the craptastic route according to so many of you, so I'm anxious to get back and see for myself how she stands.

^ Luxo, so far, I'm really impressed with your movie viewing choices. Are you sure you're only 13? Vertigo is Hitchcock's best work...you seen it yet? Anyway, tomorrow night I'm actually gonna fork out some cash and brave the crowd of morons to see a movie in the theater. I'm pushing for Miami Vice (naturally, duh), but the wife may win out and pick POTC 2.

^ Yeah, I'll have to go with that as well.

I'm so glad this series wasn't Stiller/Owen-ized.

"Is she the one with all the sh*t in her face?" "No, that's Jodi....my wife." (laughing) "I'm sorry man"

Awesome report, Chris!! Glad to see that after all your coverage over the past year that you were rewarded with running into Mike Smith and a VIP tour. Something tells me a certain ride mechanic is gonna really appreciate these picks when he gets to see 'em.

**I'm gonna take this scene for sentimental reasons. I met Ving Rhames on the set of Striptease with Demi Moore. Several of us were hanging out with him while the crew was busy setting up for the next scene. Naturally, everyone wanted to talk about Pulp Fiction, and he was really cool about it....told us some pretty funny stuff. Anyway, I actually asked him to sort of reenact the scene with Bruce Willis for fun, and he actually did a couple lines with me! Ahhh, maybe worthless info to most, but good times for me. The itallics are what we said. I wish we could've had personal cameras on-set, but it was definitely NOT allowed. Thanks for humoring me. Anyway, on with the show...... Fade in: Marsellus talking to Butch. "You're gonna find yourself one smilin' muther f**ker when this is all over. Thing is, Butch, you got ability, but as painful as it is, your days are just about over. That's a fact of life, but your ass is gonna have to be realistic about it.... "You my nigga?" "Certainly appears so." On the night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride f**kin' with you. F**k pride!! Pride only hurts, it never helps. Fight through that s**t. Cause when you're kickin' it in the Caribbean a year from now, you're gonna say 'Marsellus Wallace was right.'" "I got no problem with that, Mr. Wallace." "In the fifth, your ass goes down." Butch nods... "Say it" "In the fifth, my ass goes down." Cut to: Vincent and Jules arriving through the side door.

You're definitely not alone on The Big Lebowski...possibly one of the funniest movies ever! And I'll give you credit for Heathers too, since my wife thinks it's highly underrated. A couple more I love that not many of my friends or family like: 12 Monkeys Good Will Hunting

Darn, I missed out on some pretty good seats there. Stupid work! I really should have gone...I've got a much better record than you when seeing the Marlin (yes, Marlin) play. They rarely lose when I'm in attendance, Joe. Anyway, a credit and a ballgame....not bad at all I guess. Scott "get a tetanus shot immediately" B. EDIT:^ they're not as annoying with the chant anymore, but they do have the largest "jumbotron" in sports....which is pretty cool.

Does everyone remember Robb's caption (or lack thereof) for Barry & Ryan's picture on the UK trip? I think something like that applies here as well. www.themeparkreview.com/uk2006/oakwood/oakwood3.htm

"You ever read the Bible Brett?" "Yes." "Well there's this passage I've got memorized. It seems appropriate for this situation." (Okay, someone go wake the pounder kid up.....tell him it's his turn) [see page two of this thread]
