I could always send you kona coffee and macadamia nuts.

All I need is an address. Don't worry, if I had the address there is almost no chance I will show up personally to deliver them late one night when it is totally inappropriate...

Well, then what's the use of giving you my address?
So he can see if you were on your driveway when Google Maps came by?

My son came to tell me there was a picture of me online that I didn't know about, and of course my first thought was "oh, shit!", but he was just Zillowing the neighborhood and saw me checking the mail sometime last summer.

So I told him not to pick his nose at the bus stop, just in case...

When I was in grade school we had a blow up of an aerial photograph of the neighbourhood around the school. The teacher put it up on the bulletin board and we were supposed to try and find our house (we went to school from our Grandma's house) and mark it with a pin. The photo was taken some 10 or so years earlier, so a lot of the kids had to approximate where their house was in the open fields and vacant lots.

I went up, took a quick look and marked my spot right away. The teacher asked me if I was sure that was right because I didn't take very long. I said "yep, that's my grandma's car in the driveway!".

A '63 Polara, if anyone's keeping score.

Oh all right, if you insist! 1AM phone calls were a problem so I will just aim for a 3AM delivery. That sound OK? It will give you a great opportunity to try out the coffee...
Sounds great! Just give me a call when you're close and I'll switch on the porch light.

Hmm, well then I guess I need the phone number too! Shall I ask Kay?

The Bored feels like that to me sometimes.

ARRRGGGHHHH! I went to finish my list, and after a long and thoughtful essay, I hit post, and was told I couldn't edit someone else's posts. Yup, I was kicked off the bored before I had finished.

I don't have the patience to start from scratch.

There. I edited my post on page 2 ranking my favorites, for anyone not tuned to WGAS.

I enjoyed your list, Starfish; a couple I think you left out:

-THE MAGIC KINGDOM WDW RAILROAD Yes it just goes around the park, but I love it and ride it every time I'm at WDW. The DL one is better (going thru the Primeval World is always the last thing I do on my trip).

-THE MONORAIL Another one I ride on every trip, no matter what. Plus you don't even have to go to a park to ride it; you can catch a ride from the Polynesian or Grand Floridian Hotels (if you're careful about it).

Something new: TOY STORY MANIA (aka TOY STORY MIDWAY MANIA)
Yes, it's in the area formerly inhabited by our beloved Play It!, but I still hear great things about it. You can see and hear about it on many WDW podcasts.

Oops! You can also catch the Monorail from the Contemporary Resort, of course; a ride after the MK fireworks show (which we catch from the California Grill) is always in order.

My kids love those transportation rides. And they're thrilled when Tom Sawyer Island is open, but that's usually during holidays when the crowds are at overflow. We spend enough time there to get to do the "little things", and sometimes they're better than the E Ticket stuff.

Thanks for your list, T-Bone!

As for the parades/shows/movies I didn't include, Fantasmic definitely would have ranked fairly high, but I'm definitely not a parade guy. I try to get on rides during parade time because the lines are ever-so-slightly shorter. I did enjoy the parade at Hollywood Studios in March, though. I don't know what it was called, but it had a bunch of Toy Story soldiers.

Oh, and if I ranked the movies, they'd be:

1. France
2. American Adventure
3. Canada
4. Circle of Life
5. China

The bottom three would be interchangeable, based on my mood at the time, though.

Speaking of phone calls....

I need a new number for you, Miss Fantine! I tried calling you this weekend on both numbers, but nooooooo. Since we weren't around a computer, I wanted to let you know about the situation w/ Fantasy Football and which days were good days for a draft.

Did you have to change the numbers after all the prank calls from Kay?
