cfc Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hmm . . . Elissa, your Dad's office does bring to mind the original version of The In-Laws with Alan Arkin and Peter Falk--one scene involves the president of a banana republic who had quite a collection of black-velvet paintings. Is that the one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 ^^They were much cheaper, but they were also "half orders". I had the Chicken Bryan which came with pinnae pasta and half a chicken breast for $7.99. The real deal has a full chicken breast and garlic mashed potatoes for like $15.99. So it was a good deal to me, especially for Carrabbas! Oh, and the mini-bread kicked some serious ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piggy4891 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Nice photo TR guys. I wish I had the money and time to go on a trip like that. By the way, I went to my local target the other day and saw no vault ICEE's. But, I did see a Jones Soda Crushed Melon ICEE. I wonder how that would taste...

BrownStreak Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 A bunch of guys boasting about having the "King Richard" credit is pretty humorous on sooooo many levels./quote] When I saw that pic I was like "Oh, that's what happened to the dad from the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air."

downunder Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 For the 1000th time (maybe more) kidtums is so cute, she is so animated now. I love the look of those cruises, I'll have to do one someday, a friend from work did one from Miami over the Christmas break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Enjoyed this TR and got a little curious about Carnival and Disney cruises. Aww, the pet pics make me miss my RatTums and HamTums.

Guy T. Koepp Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 This is the funniest TR ever. What was the movie your dads office is modled after? I missed the answer. ^Oh! WTF! Your hamster has a bad case of hemmoroids dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Oh yeah, I forgot about Elissa's dad's office photo, the closest I can come to a movie with that in it would be the Richard Pryor movie The Toy where Jackie Gleason had a portrait of his trophy wife who could become topless with the push of the button. But...what is the movie, enquiring minds want to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobafett Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Wegman's Grocery store is the greatest! I wish I could live in Wegman's. Hey Elissa, was that Carrabba's just a mini version or could you also purchase products that they sell? Because if they sold that seasoning that they put on they plate with the olive oil on it, I would fly down there just to buy it because I LOVE THAT SH&*!!! It is so addictive. Every time we go there for dinner I pick up that little plate and lick it clean and of course my husband wants to smack me when I do that but who cares it is good stuff! We got so many gift cards for Carrabba's for Christmas it is insane! If you do a TPR cruise I will be there. And that is a beautiful pic of you and KT at dinner. She is one beautiful little girl. Great report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor thing! He could walk and run very well when he was alive. Wore out a couple wheels in fact. That's just standard fair on male hamsters. Such a sweet little guy too. They all were. I miss them. R&E, you two got me thinking about cruising and cruise ship waterslides with those great pics. That really does look like some fun. And the Carrabba's in that grocery store was just plain wierd. Thanks for putting those up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryB Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thanks for another great TR! I cannot wait to meet KT this summer. It cannot be denied that she has one of the best photo-personalities I have ever seen...baby or otherwise! I am also all about a TPR cruise, I just didn't have any more time off to take for 2008. Thanks again for sharing the fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Today’s installment. Holy Crap, we went to an amusement park! Busch Gardens Tampa Bay The Dark Continent Africa If my memory serves me we went on the Thursday after Christmas and before New Years. So yeah, we knew it would be crazy busy. We made Colin get up super early, pawned KidTums on my parents and set off. We saw this guy on our way in and immediately thought of Roller Coaster Tycoon. We need the little claw tool to pick him up and put him back on the grass! Here we are celebrating the Holidays in Florida…in shorts and capri pants! Hey Disneyland…pretty much every other park on Earth has a ‘guests without bags’ line…what’s your excuse? Mmmm, massive amounts of food. Too bad it’s tainted by being near Gwazi. OMG!!! OMG!!! An open gate!!!! Someone alert infinitethrill NOW!!!! This is Earth shattering stuff people! So if the male is called a peacock, then this female must be called a… Come on, you didn’t think I was actually going to post that did you!?!? Oh yeah, this is a roller coaster site… So this was my first time on Floorless SheiKra. I don’t really know what to say. I only hope that this was the original plan all along and Busch didn’t pay extra to convert it. It made NO difference to me. I sat in the front, sat in the back, on the side, in the middle. Even forgot about the floorless thing till Robb reminded me! I still like this ride best in the back for the airtime over the first drop. So again at this point I’d like to remind everyone to GET TO PARKS EARLY!!! We were there about 20 minutes before the park opened, went straight to SheiKra and got 3 rides without waiting! So here’s some more Shakira before we move on… The new Jungala area is coming along nicely, and it has forced them to open up a much needed shortcut! Yay! This photo of Jungala is already better than Python! I want to get everyone ready for what you’re about to see next. It is… A brand new… Never before seen… Shot of Kumba! Wow, I know. Ok, take your time, then we’ll move on. Kumba was being awesome as usual. We got two rides (again no wait) before moving on. For that horrible, horrible thread… Here’s your close up coaster action! Next up we gave some love to Anton. I really hope that this ends up being KidTums’ first upside down roller coaster…just like it was mine! It’s really good, smooth, lap bar only. We need more of these! Robb found some tortoise friends And then we ran into Mike (Mr. Six)! It was awesome catching up with you there Mike! Time for some hot Montu Action! Montu was running three trains, really efficiently. It was impressive! I hadn’t seen them doing that since opening summer! It was also running pretty well. I mean, we’re not talking pre-brake rides…but it’s still a top 10 ride. So we had a really great morning, and after less than 2 hours in the park we had ridden everything we wanted to, and now the park was getting INSANE. Over an hour wait for Gwazi, and people just pouring in. Stupid holiday crowd people, it was bad. We ran into PianoJohn (buy his latest CD!!!) said hi, see you in Orlando, and headed out! The crowds were insane coming in. They had filled their lots, Adventure Islands lots, and were moving on to Adventure Islands overflow! On our way out, Montu was disobeying the light! Ahh, much better Montu! See you for our next installment! DISNEY!!! Including the new Spaceship Earth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I still like this ride best in the back for the airtime over the first drop. ..As the ONE person in the back would suggest. I really hope that this ends up being KidTums’ first upside down roller coaster…just like it was mine! It’s really good, smooth, lap bar only. We need more of these! Amen to that. My first (and hopefully not last) Schwarzkopf credit back in August '06. Awesome stuff, R&E. It's very rare that I find a photo TR from you guys, for one of the few parks I've actually VISITED.

UniversalGSHo22 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Great TR!!! I have to get back to BUsch Gardens. I havent been since I was 7 years old and I just had my 29th birthday. I get in for free too... It is that damn drive from orlando to tampa that I hate! And I have to tell you that KidTums is the most ADORABLE little thing I have ever seen!!! She looks like such a happy baby!! She will have wonderful memories when she grows up thanks to you guys!!! Adorable!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 ^If you won't drive a measly 90 minutes to ride Kumba, Montu, and Sheikra for free, then you shouldn't be allowed to call yourself an enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniversalGSHo22 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I know I know I know..... I am a bad bad bad person. In all honesty.. Sheikra scares the bejesums out of me! I wont lie at all..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
