Canadian Buffoon's Hi Low Vacation - South Central Musings

Who knew they'd make such a thing!?

Apparently... not me.

Why? I'm sure the Capt. Jack Sparrow look would suit you well.

Nope. I is not handsome like that.

So kinda like Oklahoma.

North Dakota.
Carbon copy.


I could make a snarky quip about being in a car being key to not dying..

oops.

Hey now!

But that takes the fun out of it.
If I get splattered by a semi,
at least I'll go out doing
something that I like doing.


They are all around here too! Hey, we have something in common!!

Really! I had no idea!
Huh!


OOoooh, nice windshield!

Zoom in for a free dead bug display!

Tummy happy, arteries screaming!

::yes::

THIS I would love to see!

Well, then... come on down!

Actually, Calgary is closer to you.
They have the biggest in Canada...
Possibly the world? Dunno.


This time or the 1st or 2nd time I read this update.

:sad2:
 
I like to put my worst foot forward.
That way people will never be disappointed
"Yeah. He's actually just as bad as I thought."

I guess there's really nowhere to go but up after that.

Should've had the snake explode.
In a helicopter.

Snakes On A Chopper.
(Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger)

And Samuel L. Jackson.

"Get to da choppa!"

"Are you @#$% nuts? There's @#$% snakes in there!"

Ask me how many times
I've eaten at Taco Bell.

Hey Pkondz, how many times have you eaten at Taco Bell?

Julie can't push a wheelbarrow?

They wouldn't let us take the wheelbarrow on the airplane. That just kills the endeavor right there.

Oh, no.

I definitely enjoyed it.



Definitely.

I imagine it would be hard not to.

Nah. We're older.
She's just given up on me.

Smart girl.

::yes::

It's all about me!
Let the rugrats fend for themselves.

That'll learn 'em! It's a cruel world out there.

I'll never know for sure...
But... I do know that if I kept playing
sooner or later....

The house always wins.

Which is why you were right to quit while you were ahead.

Like you wouldn't come here
if you could.

You almost did!
(although the area you
were going to, is much
more picturesque.)

I would have made it there if I hadn't planned on driving so much further to the south in my loop, and if I hadn't made plans to meet up with others late in the trip. Or if I'd had the budget to extend the trip another couple of days.

I definitely want to do some Canadian excursions with the family. We'll figure it out.

Dang! Secret's out!

It is eerily familiar, isn't it.

::yes:: So..flat...

To be honest, it looks a lot like Delaware.

In North Dakota...
You know those signs:
"You are here"?

They have
"You are nowhere."

:rotfl2: And here is the middle.

Our state motto is "So close to where you'd rather be."

Spoon > straw, huh?

Nobody wants a soupy milkshake!

Actually!
It was discovered they think because a cow
stepped on its head, pushing the other end
up out of the ground.

I kid you not.

:rotfl::rotfl2: That's great!

I think it might be too late.

But I'll eat it for him.

You, sir, are a noble gentleman.

See???

And Samuel L. Jackson.

"Get to da choppa!"

"Are you @#$% nuts? There's @#$% snakes in there!"

It practically writes itself!

Hey Pkondz, how many times have you eaten at Taco Bell?

Less than once.

They wouldn't let us take the wheelbarrow on the airplane. That just kills the endeavor right there.

Stoopid airplane rulze!

That'll learn 'em! It's a cruel world out there.

::yes::

Actually... I can't count the number of times
I've told my girls "Who said life was fair?"


Which is why you were right to quit while you were ahead.

Meanwhile, in an alternate universe...

"I was up to over twelve thousand dollars
before I started to lose. I quit then."

I'm sure you'll get here!
And I know exactly when!

When I'm in Delaware.

Nope!

You forgot "scholar".
 
Okay, totally not the right place to post but Ally has suggested that we go to WDW instead of DLR in November. I'm ecstatic!
 


Hmmmm.... Never tried it at a DLR hotel.
If it's not a Disney hotel I would.

I actually pulled this trick on my last night at a Sheraton in Montreal and the guy bumped me up to one of the concierge type rooms (lounge with free breakfast in the am and drinks at night). Room had a nicer view and was slightly larger. I didn't bother trying the trick when I checked in b/c the hotel was at full occupancy when I first arrived.

So pro-tip number one -- if attempting the $20 bill trick at a hotel...ask if they are completely full when you check-in before slipping the cash over. If they are full -- you will not be getting an upgrade...and you might lose your money to boot.

I learned this mistake in Vegas. Gave the girl my credit card with a $50 bill (I was at the venetian and I was hoping $50 might get me the double upgrade) and asked about an upgrade, and she told me they were completely booked up for the weekend (it was July 4th). I did not get an upgrade or my $50 bill back. :-(

Nice! Little bit farther for you.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say
you'll fly and not drive this time.

Dates?

Not a bad idea.
Thanks for the tip.

Yea, I don't mind flying though. We are going to fly this time regardless.

We are looking at November 15 to 19th but it may change if we end up with midterms in that timeframe.

Sounds good!
 
Less than once.

Your digestive system thanks you.

::yes::

We must be the only ones who are trying to teach our kids this. The rest of the world seems to be continuing to try and force the world to be fair.

Well, it's always fun to dream.

I'm sure you'll get here!
And I know exactly when!

When I'm in Delaware.

:rotfl2: Sounds about right.
 
Whoops!

Yes! It's WDW Florida that I'm heading to!
DLR won't happen again (possibly, briefly)
until April.

Not positive where I'm staying yet.
Not quite firmed up on everything yet.
But probably POP or ASMu.

Oh well, then opposite if we end up at WDW we should meet up!

You would see me from miles away
