Don't you guys have twist top beer bottle caps?

We have real man's man beer, grady. You don't need a poofta bottle opener, ya just use ya teeth to open ya bottle.

nijoli's trying to learn how to open a beer bottle with her breasts, right now

yes, grady: make appointment with dentist and then use teeth. maybe its a nonfunctional beeropener making an all australians are drunks statement?

anyway, my GF was crazy for the timtams.

What you're supposed to do is bite two opposing corners off and then suck coffee through it like a straw. That's some crazy bliss.

hahahahaha

pappawheelie for poster of the month

seconded.

thank you lady and gentleman.

i propose a toast: to another good month on 1p3.

hear hear!!

i like pappawheelie (V) a lot but i don't understand his love for disney world. i guess he knows something the rest of us don't.

maybe he had a CHILDHOOD

i lived in florida for a long stretch.

it was the only thing to do...

but more so, i have a thing for world's fairs (Knoxville ya'll!), and WDW is largely based in retrofuturistism/mid-century nostalgia.

my childhood was in michigan

i think i went to DW 3 times as a kid. it was very far away from where i grew up, and i didn't like it. i much preferred state/county fairs because i love livestock, tractor pulls, and crappy rides

DING DING DING 20 years in Jax for me.

WDW was an oasis of dirty water on a cultural desert.

went to disneyworld once at about age 11, loved it

loved the way epcot center looked

there was a SHORT period around 1995 (?) when the replaced all the music in tomorrowland with 1940s raymond scott, which added a bazillion times worth of appeal for me.

then they replaced it with their 80s new age/contmpo jazz (that sadly, i acquired a taste for as a result).

like Larry Carlton, Suzanne Cianni, David Lanz, and Andreas Vollenweider

yeah, my listens scrobble too.

i dunno i never could get excited about it. same with amusement parks and stuff. i don't even get sick on roller coasters, i just don't care about them. i think my brain is missing some chemicals maybe

pappa, did you by any chance read steve martin's memoir born standing up?

he apparently grew up mainly at disneyLAND (worked there for his entire adolescence and teen years +), and he includes tons of great stories about it

wow, no, and you think i would'ce read this, considering how much time i spend at http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/wyw.htm

(dude grew up, as a kinda aware, witty, cynical psuedo-punk/goth/whatever, behind the property wdw was built on, as they built it, so he got a job there, and has documented all the changes that happened in the 80s/90s)

i should note that intricate vintage amusement rides are quickly eclipsing my wdw junk though -- especially coney island's wonder wheel, and the 1917 prior & church racing derby:

at cedar point in ohio (my first childhood park)

at rye playland (the a short train raide away from me now)

(googling born standing up now)

i was only 2

on a scale from 1 to 2!

my best disneyworld memory:

when i was 20 i went to visit a friend who was working on a TV show taped at MGM studios. The set was in one of the studios you see on the "behind the scenes" tour. the backlot had all these bicycles lying around just for studio employees to get around fast and easy.

since she had 24 hr access we hung around late one nite after the park closed and waited till about 2am. then we went on the most epic bike ride through the whole theme park. my favorites were cruising down the fake neighborhood street (really creepy at nite) and the roger rabbit street (the daytime city sound effects were still blaring-- kind of creepy too). we got off our bikes and climbed all over the honey i shrunk the kids area too. we saw one or two security guards who didn't bother us at all since we were on the official studio bikes so surely we couldnt have been a couple of kids fucking around. otherwise we had the whole park to ourselves.

one of those nites i'll probably relieve on my deathbed.

the next nite we kind of did the same thing at epcot, but without bikes it wasnt as fun so we just looted souvenir stands instead.

that sounds really awesome

i went to DW when I was 14 but I wasnt that thrilled because Id been at DL the same week or the week before and a lot of the rides were broken/closed down. i do remember being in the towncar from the airport to the hotel and hearing on the radio that don johnson was making an appearance at that moment somewhere on miami beach and i almost had a teen crush heartattack. didnt make it to epcot.

oh and i remember looking over my hotel balcony and seeing that the pool water looked really yellow.

my family's from orlando and my uncle worked at disney world when i was a kid so i've been there a bunch of times. i have to go to orlando for xmas this year and i'm not looking forward to it

i went to disney world a couple times as a little kid, all i really remember was the character 'figment' from epcot and a deep and unfulfilled yearning for these dog leashes wired to hold their position so you looked like you were walking an invisible dog

love gr80's story

The summer between 7th and 8th grade I ran into a classmate at Disney World.

YES

I've been to DW three times and hated it more on each visit.

I know Beeps is going to want to go one day, and I don't know what we're going to do. One option is letting her grandmother take her. But as her primary male role model, I don't think it's going to be a good idea to have her observe her father screaming at Winnie the Pooh and then falling into the fetal position on the pavement, sobbing uncontrollably.

My second memory is of Disney World and Epcot Center. I couldn't have been more than 3, because that's when we moved away from Jacksonville. I only remember riding into the big ball, looking up at it we entered some sort of tunnel entrance. Then I probably fell asleep.

(First memory involves troughs, cows, licking, and "Born to be Wild" chorus on a loop)

beeps isnt going to florida at all if i can help it. DL in the CA only. Of course, DL is the child molester capital of the universe so probably not there either. (xp)

(First memory involves troughs, cows, licking, and "Born to be Wild" chorus on a loop)

Yeah, this sounds like Jacksonville.

Since Florida bashing is welcomed here...

The first time I went to Orlando on my own was when the rave thing first hit Florida circa 1993. I remember going to the Edge in Orlando and I met very few people actually from Orlando. People traveled from all around, like raves were the new grateful dead or something. And they all had laundry detergent boxes as purses, which was kinda O_o

But it wasn't until I'd say 1995 or 1996 that Orlando became that creepy psuedo-goth/fetish raver place that it seems to continue to be.

By that time, I had an unhealthy obsession with Stereolab and Dr. Buzzard (and a growing obsession with Brazilian music), so this was the sound of my trips to Orlando...driving past the piercing shops and Firestone-esque clubs as to not see some fat dude with blue spikey hair and a vinyl backpack.

I cannot vouch enough for Boma in the Animal Kingdom lodge though. African buffet! It was that and Park Ave Records in Winter Park that kept me coming back like every 7 weeks.

The problem with Jacksonville started in their pre-Hollywood past. It was a big movie town in the teens and 20s. Oliver Hardy lived there to be near the studio he worked out of. Anyway, paraphrasing some tour I went on, they didn't require permits to film in the streets then, and the local officials thought this was too wild and out of hand. So they clamped down on everything (including sidewalk cafes !?!), pushing not only the movie industry out of town, but kinda shutting down several businesses and creating a huge void that led to their urban sprawl.

Marineland in St. Augustine between Orlando and Jax was originally built as a movie studio for underwater filming. Much of the Creature from the Black Lagoon was shot there, amongst others.

By the time I moved to Florida, Marineland became an annual field trip destination for all area schools. I was always awed by the architechture (I was about 13 at the time). The situation there is about the saddest there is now.

as to not see some fat dude with blue spikey hair and a vinyl backpack.

Sorry, I had the colors wrong

littleman?

(or are you dynomutt costumes?)

nah, but theres prob. pix of me there somewhere in my parents albums. i'd like to go back to busch gardens cuz why go to the real europe when u can go to europennsylvania

i did kind of like busch gardens (can't remember if it was tampa bay or williamsburg because we went to both) because it had orangutans and stuff and they are funnie

also quassy in CT has best roller coaster because it feels like you will fall off and die
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/191/505113629_a366fb1a5e.jpg

i guess a lot of different small amusement parks have these though, "wild mouse" coasters

i was trying to explain to my coworkers once about how the wild mouse coaster was the scariest one at busch gardens and everyone laughed at me

maybe i should've ridden the wild mouse at playland...

you should! you will not regret it

yeah, because, you know, if i die, regret is not an option

i can't remember if this is part of disney or not but there was a water park, either typhoon lagoon or blizzard beach. we also went there a couple times and there was a huge huge straight water slide that i went on with my dad and it gives you the most epic wedgie. i don't know why i thought that was fun.

i always heard about that -- you can see the slide from the road

but never rode

i only post in theme park threads today
