It was an old one......Lara Spencer hosting instead of the guy (which is a good thing). Some lady who's mother had her house built by Frank Lloyd Wright had a bunch of letters between him and her mom and original drawings for the designs for her moms house. Just what they showed was worth like 200 grand.

At least she was excited about it.

Boy, you're a sucker for punishment, eh? lol, after last night, I'm still a little disgusted with reality TV. lol, that was a little too much reality. I'm sure I'll be back in action for AI tomorrow night, though.

I bet you can't wait until Wednesday. ;)

[Amy Winette]

What's on Wednesday? I'm sue I know, just can't think of it :)

Andy is the cutest bachelor ever, sadly he's not that articulate. That's alright, I can mute and just look at him, haha!

Well, I'm a Scots Lush (a very rare bird) . . . and as I ate a big lunch and am not driving anywhere, I'm not too concerned :D

Thanks for the Abita distributor list - sadly the nearest place in Cali is in Richmond and that's 2.5-3 hours away from here. :(

Every once in a Blue Moon (another fine brew), the Natural Food Co-op in Sacramento where I was a member/owner would get it in - but that was a while back, and even that's an hour and half away.

Sigh. Gotta get back to NOLA.

Those are just the area distributors - what you do is go to your local liquor store and give THEM the info and tell 'em you want to order a case, assure them it is a GREAT beer, tell 'em if they stock it that it will fly off the shelf. We did that and now we have to order it because they can't believe that it is so popular - it keeps selling out as soon as they bring it in !!!!!

[Zydekitten]

Aha!!! Great idea, chica!!! I'll definitely do that - just need to think of which store up here will be the most likely to do that . . . hmmmm

[Orleansnj]

Aha!!! Great idea, chica!!! I'll definitely do that - just need to think of which store up here will be the most likely to do that . . . hmmmm

just figure out who has the largest microbrew selection and then promise them that you will tell all of your friends and bring them new business - it will work...... and everyone 'wins' so to speak.

[NYMAMA]

Here you go, NYMAMA!

Hi kids! I've been avoiding the bar 'cos of the not smoking thang... surely want to do have a pack with a drink. Gotta get back in the saddle though and get used to life with having one hand free!

Good news is it's Friday and its almost lunch time. More food... just what I need! Cheers!

Yeah, it gets quiet after fest!

I'm having a glass of wine for real here, kitty integration has gone just fine with the 2 oldest male cats (the 12 year old), I've put them through so many extra pets they don't even blink an eye ;)

But Fat Molly is being a biotch!! She has now chased Karma kitten twice under the bed and cornered her, howling and growling away. I might ship HER to Idaho to live with Jeff!! ;)

Nice Kitty, thanks!

Oh yeah, and I just heard today it's not likely I'll get a severance when I leave my job end of June, I told em I'm not doing a damn thing in June then than looking for another job. Crummy behavior after the seven years of service I've given. Harumphf. Need to get the house on the market asap, I can't afford the mortgage without a paycheck!

Oh, Chica . . . that REALLY sucks!!! As in, a lot! :mad:

That's big city law firms for you though - but still, how crappy of them after seven years of working you to the bone.

You deserve better and I think you'll find it in Idaho . . . well, as long as Miss Thing (Molly) adjusts to Karma Kitteh and chills out ;)

[Zydekitten]

Mm hmm, and didja see they have both that AND Silver Oak on the menu at Jazz Emporium Kitty? Quite a mark up, but nonetheless :)
I did!!!!! In fact, I told you about it - but I think you might have been a bit slurged at the time ;) :D

I'll have to get Matty to give me some at a discount next time I'm there . . . ;)

Hey, Guz!!

It was such cool and most excellent serendipity to run into you at Rosy's booth at the very end of the very last day of Fest!!! :D

I'm bummed that I did miss your revowal and being able to dress up (which I dearly love to do) . . . I was riding my bike down Bourbon St. the last day I was in NOLA last week and saw Johnny White's and felt sad again that I didn't make it. :(

If I am lucky enough to be able to get back East to NYC, I'll definitely look you and your lovely spouse up for some fun . . . otherwise, I'll count on seeing y'all in NOLA next Fest!

:)

Hey MRG!
I'm searching Wolfgang's Vault for something to strike my mood...
Business is good. I'm almost done with my Fest orders and i got a few more May orders to finish next week. The problem is that June and July are real light. I'll use the time to make some new work and some stock....

[linza22]

i'll be dinking and leaning in about 20 minutes. i'm thinking my deck is a very good place to be.

[Zydekitten]

It's always good to "mend nets" when things are a bit on the light side . . . so WHY are you swimming 1/4 mile, Rosy??

Love the Vault...Jeff turned me on to it. Sounds like Summer is slow all around...I just had to reduce my some of my staff's hours for a month or two. Better than a layoff I guess but still tough for some of them. I am coming down in August for Satchmo...you gonna be around? I might have some disposible income after the dinkin budget is figured out :D

[rosetree]

To get to the other side.......
No, we have to pass a swim test to go white water rafting at Boy Scout camp. I haven't been swimming in 3 years and then it was only to pass the test back then. I'm older now and a lot more delicate!!!! LOL... I just need to build some cardio and endurance so I'm trying to bike and do some walking in the AM w/ Brenda.

[Festngator]

Putting on Papa Mali from the patry. Pouring a glass of GMS. Back in my 3 bedrooms. Done with the emergency dental work. Get to go out for supper. Rosetree look in your mail box, sent some stuff including a House of Blues show by Norah Maybe you were there. Also Patry stuff.

Satchmo and TH meet-ups are starting to give me real bad FOMTH :( . I'll be in Philly for my bi-yearly wholesale show the first weekend of August. I'm then going to Mom's house in CT and stay for the week 'cause my H.S. reunion is the next weekend. Missing all of the Satchmo goodness...:(

My husband and I will be in town for Satchmo Festival but probably not Swampfest although I would love that too. I pretty sure that I am working that weekend.
Mariena

I have never been to Festgiving, but I do think that I saw in a previous post that it is on the same weekend and so is the Mirliton Festival.

[Amy Winette]

Anybody in here this afternoon? I came back last night from Cal Bankruptcy Forum to make sure the cats were okay, we're definitely making progress!

Forum was nice, beautiful place up in Napa, seems like everybody is going to miss me -- haha! Got a nice pix with my two former bosses who are both at new firms now (one left 4 years ago). Dinner in the wine cave I sat right next to Judges Montali (PG&E case) and Carlson, and a 9th Circuit BAP Judge from Portland, had some nice conversations about BK and the judges back in Idaho and Montana (still 9th Circuit). One of the 2 Idaho BK judges is also on BAP (Bankruptcy Appellate Panel) and was there, but I didn't meet him.

[Lester_leaps_in]

I'm in pain! Just met with the real estate agent and even the "discount" 5% rate is $40K -- $40K, for doing what?? And then the seller's agent takes a chunk, I may end up LOSING money on this house after paying $4K/month for 2.5 years. Stupid Cali . . .

I think I am due to catch a break here soon . . .

[sophisticated sissy]

Let's crack open a bottle of Elijah Craig 18-year old, shall we? Wine Enthusiast gives it 88 points! I feel it deserves more than that, but what do I know?

Or, my personal favorite, Woodford Reserve....num, num, nummy!


Vina, how will you ever be able to stand leaving BevMo! behind? I love that place!

[pokerchick66]

poker, hope you feel better soon. Hey, did you ever see the John Waters' movie called "Female Trouble"?:)

No, enlighten me. :)

[sophisticated sissy]

No, enlighten me. :)


The whole Pink Flamingo gang rides again in this 1974 release from Baltimorean John Waters. It's the classic tale of Good Girl Gone Bad...all because her parents refuse to buy her a pair of cha cha heels for Christmas.
Follow the life and times of spoiled schoolgirl Dawn Davenport as she runs away from home, gets pregnant while hitchhiking, and ends up as a fashion model for a pair of beauticians who enjoy photographing women in the act of committing crimes.

From loving schoolgirl to a crazed mass-murderer over a pair of shoes! :D

"F.T." fits in the comedy/crime genre and features the following actors:

Starring Divine as Dawn Davenport/ Earl Peterson
Mink Stole as Taffy Davenport
Edith Massey as Ida Nelson
Susan Walsh as Chicklette :eek:

And many others.

Taglines:

"Nice girls don't wear cha cha heels."

"She has a lot of problems."

"A high point in low taste."


Other films by Waters include "Hairspray" and "Polyester", the first scratch 'n sniff movie!

Anyway, hope you're feeling better, sweetie!

[Zydekitten]

Hey Zkitty! I'm dozing on & off....Didja have fun on da river?
Sorry, Rosy - I conked out just after I came into the bar and before you came back . . .

It was a great weekend, gorgeous weather. We got to train a great new volunteer krewe and increase their HIV/AIDS sensitivity to better work with our participants. Also, we got to say goodbye to and celebrate a couple of longtime volunteers who died last year (which was sad, but good) and then raft on the river - Woo Hoo!!

So, I'm tired, but it's a good tired! :)

BevMo AND Trader Joe's!

We'll miss them, but Jeff & I are members of 8 wine clubs (Peju, Cakebread, V Sattui, Kirkland Ranch, Ledson, Clos du Val, Bonny Doon and Hallcrest) so we get a lot of wine shipped anyway :)

[sophisticated sissy]

Mmmm...sounds good. I think you'll be okay for wine!
BevMo! ships, too!

Trader Joe's just opened their 1st Cincy location about 2 years ago.

[sophisticated sissy]

mmm...cakebread...good!

I was the lucky winer, I mean winner, of the bottle of Cakebread Chard that Amy donated to last year's raffle.

[Amy Winette]

We do plan on bringing some vino to Crawfish Fest!! :)

And tons of Pat O's hurricane mix, Dennis is bringing the rhum to go with ;)

Ooooh, girl - you GOTSTA try some Cakebread!!! It's the shiznik, baybee!!!

I ran the Bay to Breakers twice . . . the most fun race EVER!!! Those photos are just a small slice of why :D ;)

[Amy Winette]

You actually ran instead of pushing a keg? Who does that? Heh heh ;) One friend had a rolling bar, his evite description started with "To the outsider, it looks like 7 Kenyans running away from 70,000 lunatics, but to those who know, it is the greatest Sunday of the year."

I've got lots of naked pix I can post too! I'm not saying they're nice to look at, but they're full frontal! ;)

Great pics Amy. I love watching the highlights of that race on the news. Cracks me up.

I am now dinking a big ol bottle of Fish Eye Sauvignon Blanc. 12.99 and not bad at all. And if all goes well there will be very little or nothing left by the the end of the night. How bad a week is this gonna be if I feel the need to get trashed after one day of work?!? :)

[ScoopJohnD]

Did I put on too much Aqua Velva tonight? WTF?!?! Why is no one dinkin.

Watch, now you'll all show up and I'll be ready for sleep.

[ScoopJohnD]

I was sort of watching with closed captioning and music playing instead. Pretty much the best way to watch most T.V. And I watch the news now and the Yanks beat the Red Sox!! WOO HOO!!

Dire Straits, right after Brothers in Arms came out at Radio City. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

And just to continue going all over the map, I got a big laugh from the Seinfeld repeat last night featuring this.......

[Back to Elaine's office]

Ipswitch: Ms. Benes the hat you charged to the company was Sable, this is

Nutria.

Elaine: Well, that's a kind of sable.

Ipswitch: No, its a kind of rat.

Elaine: That's a rat hat?

Ipswitch: And a poorly made one, even by rat hat standards.

[Amyloves...]

Scooooooooooop!!

My favorite part from that episode was when jerry and kramer switched apartments cause of the Kenny's chicken sign......and sort of switched personalities.

[ScoopJohnD]

GET OUT!

Would I lie?.........It was the Kenny Rogers Chicken episode if you're a Seinfeld fan.

[Montana]

I miss TV.
I get one channel now. Channel 9.
NBC.
Its better than nothing.
But I do have internet TV.
I can watch shows a day late (or whenever else I want to) on the company laptop.

[ScoopJohnD]

Scooooooooooop!!

There are too many in that episode but I also cracked up over this...... (imagine Newman's face)

Jerry: Hold it, Newman, you wouldn't eat broccoli if it was deep fried in

chocolate sauce.

Newman: I love broccoli, its...... good for you.

Jerry: Really? Then maybe you'd like to have a piece?

[Jerry opens container. Newman takes a piece]

Newman: Gladly.

[Newman spits it out]

Newman: Vile weed!

If you wonder where I get this there's a site www.seinfeldscripts.com and you can just punch a word into the search and the script/scripts and the episodes with what you searched for will pop up.

[ScoopJohnD]

Forgot the most important thing in my last post........

AMMMMYYYYY!!!!

okay, feel better now.

[Montana]

I watch Steinfield almost every night!
It comes on at 6:30, right after the news, and right before the prime time lineup.
Deal or No Deal?

[ScoopJohnD]

lol, you need to ask that after I gave Elaine's signature line?

D'OH!!!! I missed it cause I didn't get shoved into the next room when I read it!

[Amyloves...]

I missed it too porkchop. I think it's cause it was missing the shove.

Scoop I LOVED when Newman said "Vile weed!" all dramatic. Hilarious. Also at the very end when Kramer's chowing down on the chicken and bouncing back and forth in his bed when the Kenny's Roaster sign goes out. He gets all confused with a mouthful of chicken saying, "Kenny? KENNY??" and then the big waaaaah face. Love it!

[Montana]

That's unusual for you.

Monica! You irresistable beautiful girl... howowya?

Well . . . that was back in my running/nerd days.

Although the second time I ran it, I volunteered to help out at the start line (so I wouldn't have to pay the entrance fee) - which meant we had to be there at 4-5 A.M. . . . my friend who was running it with me, showed up not having slept and had been dinkin Guinness all night, AND wearing Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers to run the 12k in!!! :eek:

So, I did once very seriously and once not so much - great naked people sightings though! :D

Hee hee, I'm just joking, that sign cracked me up! Earlier in the day I did see a few people seriously jogging it, trying to make their way through the drunken patry scene (they must have stopped for breakfast or something to get stuck back in the crowd of revelers!)

[Zydekitten]

Yeah, it's become more of a party on feet (which is how I've always described it) than a road race (unless you're one of the elite runners, who get a special "pre-start" start) . . . but that's what I really love about it now, as I'm NOT a serious runner anymore (gave it up for Lent and never got it back ;))

[Zydekitten]

I didn't get to go to this year's Bay to Breakers, but I did get to dress up and hang out with crazy, wonderful friends from S.F. . . . thus, here are some pictures of my past weekend at the river and the Healing Waters Chip Off the Rust Volunteer Orientation:

Thanks, Y'all!!!

It IS a great event - being able to welcome new volunteers in the Healing Waters family and be up at Camp Lotus on the American River, where our campsite is located for our river rafting trips.

Not to mention, being able to be with my longtime Healing Waters peeps is SO wonderful also! :)

[RevDon]

Is there a tarbender in the house? A Grey Goose and Cranberry sounds good!

[ScoopJohnD]

Ugh, I need a dink as I watch my Yanks get pounded all over the lot by the %%$^*%&% Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. (who's the genius who came up with that mouthful of name by the way?)

Well at least Jeter got a hit. Hitting streak at 19 games and counting. If he could only pitch as well.....

That's not enough Abita for tonights mess. And the Rocket struggled against AA players his last tune up so I'm not putting much hope there. Oh well, the Mets are fun (as much as I hate them) and there's four or so minor league teams close by (Go Newark Bears!!) so I'll find good baseball somewhere.

[grisgris]

Ugh been out drinked with the boys, I hate chior pactice.

Kitten's getting cranky that she can't go to CFF and here's people in da bar torturing her 'bout how excited they are to be going . . .

So find a last minute fare and come, hee hee :)

[Zydekitten]

Girl, I'd love to - but without a job, even (or especially) a last-minute fare is out of the question. Just can't afford it. :(

[Amy Winette]

Yeah, I know! Stupid jobs!!

[Zydekitten]

Yeah, I gotta worry about paying the rent and bills right now. Even going down to see Rebirth at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee tomorrow is pushing it.

I'm glad folks are excited about going to CFF (and they should be - it sounds great), but it's hard to read about on multiple threads . . . maybe I'll hibernate from the Bored for awhile, until after CFF or until I get back on my feet.

[ScoopJohnD]

maybe I'll hibernate from the Bored for awhile, until after CFF or until I get back on my feet.

I haven't been able to afford Jazzfest for two years and I'm still here. We'll have no bored hibernation!! It wouldn't be a bored without Kitten. Even for just a few days!

Seriously, I do have empathy for you, but I know things will turn around and deep down you probably do too. Hang in there.

I'll dink a glass of wine to better days ahead.

[mymecca]

didn't i just see you a couple nights ago...funkin' it up royal with zig/george/ivan/mark/renard?...jeez, cry me a river with lots a kayakers will ya???...(i'm snorty laughing now)...i gotta extra PGF ticket if ya wanna...come on, ya know ya do...

Good point, Scoopy!! Thanks for the kind words and you're right!

Yeah, it'll be okay eventually, and it's great that CFF is doing so well, has such interest from all over and so many of our Threadhead Nation family is able to go enjoy it (which is a truly excellent thing and hopefully I can go in the future) - maybe though people could discuss that on the CFF thread (which I don't torture myself reading) and we could have other discussions here in the bar? That would help . . . :)

In any case, if you're pouring, Scoopy - where's dat vino???!! ;)

Sniff . . . oh I'm done whinin' and crying, Scoopy straightened my ass out!

I'm gonna go and see Rebirth tomorrow at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee!!! They FINALLY got a REAL NOLA band to play it and it's only an hour and a half away - woo hoo!

Thanks for the PGF ticket offer though mija!!! I'd love to go and wear my PGF "I'm funkier than you" shirt . . . enjoy it for me, will ya? :D

Good point, Scoopy!! Thanks for the kind words and you're right!

Yeah, it'll be okay eventually, and it's great that CFF is doing so well, has such interest from all over and so many of our Threadhead Nation family is able to go enjoy it (which is a truly excellent thing and hopefully I can go in the future) - maybe though people could discuss that on the CFF thread (which I don't torture myself reading) and we could have other discussions here in the bar? That would help . . . :)

In any case, if you're pouring, Scoopy - where's dat vino???!! ;)

Well, I can't do the fancy picture thingys but trust me, vino is being dinked.

And the drift just sort of happened but it should get back to just the CF thread.

Don't get me wrong, I had my pouty Fest moments...(just ask Amyloves or Oz) so I know it's not easy, but you gotta look at the big picture sometimes unfortunately. And you'll still find a way to get your fill of music just like me.

[ozzie]

You're a bloody doll Scoop... I love that you're always so excited for us all even when you can't make it yourself. :)

Kitty... just keep putting the pennies away for the big one!

[ScoopJohnD]

Oh, I liked your pics by the way. Looked like a fun event.

Ya snuck in there Oz. The pic comment was for Kitten, but I liked the NYC shots you sent me as well. Thanks.

[ScoopJohnD]

Ahem, have we all gone on the wagon suddenly. (sound of crickets wafting from the bar)

[grisgris]

Meet Dr John... GET OUT!!!!!

Yes Ozzie I got to pick the artist I wanted to meet as part of my prize for the Crawfish Fest Expericene I picked the good Doctor.

[QUOTE=Zydekitten;73500]Yeah, I gotta worry about paying the rent and bills right now. Even going down to see Rebirth at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee tomorrow is pushing it.

it'll be okay, zkit, have been in the same boat before
things will get better, you're a bright kitten
if it's not money it's something else
i'm in the same boat with family responsibilities right now

Thanks, I need it. Enjoyed Coney Island today and reminded myself why I love NY (love N'Awlins too.) 48 years old, lived here all my life and rode the friggin Cyclone for the first time in my life. The most terrifying 2 minutes I've ever spent.

For those who don't know, the Cyclone is I think the second oldest rollercoaster in the U.S. Built in the 20's I believe. It's small, it's rickety, it's reaches about 60 mph, (which on an old wooden coaster with sharp turns and steep drops is FAST) and how I didn't have a heart attack is beyond me. I swear I almost needed someone to hold me when it was over. (i think I opened my eyes and unclenched my hands about 5 minutes after I got off)

[ozzie]

Sounds like fun Scoop... in a "crap, glad I wasn't there kinda way"!

Thanks for the vino Rosie!

[Amy Winette]

Oooh, I love roller coasters! And great attitude you've got Scoop, even though you haven't been able to make fest in a couple of years -- there's always something some of the folks will miss out on. Sactmo's the next up and I won't be making that one. But there's always Festgiving to look forward to, and next fest!

[IBROCKN]

Yeah, I gotta worry about paying the rent and bills right now. Even going down to see Rebirth at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee tomorrow is pushing it.

I'm glad folks are excited about going to CFF (and they should be - it sounds great), but it's hard to read about on multiple threads . . . maybe I'll hibernate from the Bored for awhile, until after CFF or until I get back on my feet.

Baby KittyGirl, it will get better. You can't leave us, you'll have as much fun tomorrow as I did tonight!!:D

When I enjoyed Tab tonight, I really enjoyed!!! Hardly anybody on the floor, I was front & center. Got to talk to Tab before the show & during the break! Wasn't sure how crowded it was gonna be, so I had to find a pen & write him a note about us "Azz Shakers & Hell Raisers" taking the Blues Tent on his behalf. Never thought I'd actually be able to chat with him while he read it! Sorry you all coundn't have been there!:( Thought about & missed you all.
Looked for you Grisgris, you too BB, even though I probably wouldn't have recognized you from the few pictures I've seen on the board.

Oooh, I love roller coasters!

Well everybody should have the chance to ride the Cyclone at least once!

The Cyclone: Nostalgia, Mixed with a Beating
By James Barrows

Coney Island’s Cyclone is the classic Brooklyn tough-guy embodied in a roller coaster. Squat, compact, an incomprehensible mess of wood and steel, it seems at first innocuous. But like the Brooklyn tough, its looks deceive. While other coasters thrill with height and speed, the Cyclone aims for the gut, assaulting riders with an implausible series of drops and hairpin turns, rearranging their insides while their faces transform from anticipation to incredulity to fear.

As it pummels riders, the Cyclone defies change. After 75 years, passengers still jockey for position on the platform as if waiting for a subway. A manual lever still launches the train. The chain still jerks and rattles, and the screech and roar of the wheels still eclipse passengers' screams. It’s a kind of time machine—a tumbling ride through seven decades to Coney Island’s past.....

.....The Cyclone stands in a borough defined as much by what it has lost as by what remains. The Dodgers are gone and Ebbets Field is rubble under concrete. Streetcars were scrapped and their tracks buried. But among the things that remain are a magnificent bridge, a brutal coaster and an elevated railway running between them. In a two-minute eternity, the Cyclone puts Brooklyn back together—nostalgia, mixed with a beating.

[Zydekitten]

Wow, Scoopy - I've never been to Coney Island and would love to go someday (to have a REAL Nathan's if nothing else)!!! It sounds like you had a good time on the Cyclone - which does seem scary indeed, a little like the roller coaster ride I'm on right now . . . hopefully mine is less likely to fall apart (WOOD??!!! :eek:)

Thanks, Bluesmama and IBR!!! Yeah, it'll be okay - not sure exactly how yet, but it will be! :)

It sounds like Tab's show was GREAT!! And I wish I could have been there to see him read your note about the Rowdy Bitches incursion to the Blues Tent :D

Ames - YYR, there is always something we'll miss out on and I'm working on making Satchmofest/Mirliton Festival. It's hard to not make any opportunity to revel in/with Threadheads though . . . I'm sure I'll feel much more chipper after shaking my booty to Rebirth today though.

Thanks for all of your caring - MUAH!!! :)

[Amy Winette]

And High Sierra! We're still fence sitting since we're supposed to be moving at that time . . .

We'll miss Rebirth when they're out here, which is a bummer, but will see Cowboy Mouth in NJ, so I'm okay :)

What's with all this fence sitting? Are we ThreadHeads or MugWumps? http://www.nojazzfest.com/chat/images/icons/icon10.gif

A REAL Nathan's was indeed consumed. ("gimme a dog with kraut") It sure tasted good. Thankfully I had it AFTER the Cyclone! :)

I have a feeling Rebirth will do the trick for you. Hope you have fun!

[ScoopJohnD]

I'd just like to toot my own horn and say that made some kebobs with shrimp (marinated in lime juice, worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregeno, cilantro and salt and pepper), chorizo sausage,red onion, tomato and serrano chile peppers, put em on the ol cast iron grill pan and cooked em up with a side of black beans and rice and it was freakin awesome. Woo Hoo!

And I know Mel is keeper of the birthdays but it just so happens that the
Budweisers I bought today are exactly one month old. Born on April 27th 2007. Happy Birthday my dear, dear friends.

[grisgris]

Happy Birthday to Scoop's Budwisers.

Been to Coney Island about 10 times in my life and never rode the Cyclone. I dont even like to stand near it for fear that a part might fly off. 80 years old, 60 mph and "made of wood" Just does not do it for me. Your a brave man Scoop!!!

I don't think 'brave' would be the word you would use if you could've seen me while I was on the thing.

Coffee please.

Yes, me and Scoop are meeting at Sudzy's to do laundry. Should be a blast. We may do this every year on this week-end!!!

It starts slow, but by the rinse cycle things really start rockin' !!!

Just gotta remember not to over do it with the Cling Free towards the end. What a headache I had after last year!

[ScoopJohnD]

Beers and Liquid Tide!

Now THAT's a party!

YOU? Took me forever to recover from that. Maybe we should plan a bit better with the quarter sharing as well!

[ScoopJohnD]

I got my cup o' quarters ready. Just don't make me mix whites and colors.....you know how crazy I get when I do that!! :)

Beers and Liquid Tide!

This year drink the BEER.

This is my fave coaster that I've been on -- Goliath at Six Flags Los Angeles -- gets up to 85 mph and there are some corners where the g force nearly makes you black out :)

That looks scary too. The Cyclone is actually the only roller coaster I've ever been on. I figured I might as well try the best. The thing about it, besides being old and rickety, is that it's crammed into a 75'x500' lot so it's just one thing after another with no breaks.

Start here and take a little slide show. http://www.joyrides.com/coney_island/cyclone1.htm

Wait, is this the first time you've ever been on a roller coaster, did I read that right? You didn't ride this same coaster as a kid?

[ScoopJohnD]

Nope, I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to stuff like this. Have a fear of heights if I'm on anything the least bit unstable. I can go on the top of the Empire State Building or look off over a moutain top or a bridge, but put me on a six foot ladder to change a light bulb and I'm shakey. Strange how it works with me.

But to answer your question, this was the first and only rollercoaster I have ever been on.

[rosetree]

My uncle used to take us when we were real little to Coney Island. I remember the Cyclone and the Wild Mouse, some ride the was snow-themed and went around faster and faster and played rock and roll music.
I also remember my uncle "faking" that he didn't have the toll $ and asking the toll taker if he could trade for one of us....ahhhhh, sweet youth....:D

Well good for you for giving it a try then! I didn't used to be scared of anything as a kid, now there are some things I'm not quite up for (have never bungee jumped and probably never will at this point!) ;)

Somehow I don't see bungee jumping in my future either. :)
