The mention of Christopher Robin reminds me - we sang a song about Christopher Robin in ninth grade choir. I will have to see if I can remember the alternate lyrics I wrote for that. Geez, makes me kind of blush to think of how far my mind was in the gutter, even at that age! :sillygrin:
The first time I saw Pooh on TV, I didn't realize Tigger had a tail. I was probably only about six or seven at the time, so I have absolutely no idea what I thought he was bouncing on... :wink:
for the 4th we were at my folks up north on a lake.
there are 2 neighbors that have a hate hate relationship. Mike (neighbor #1) lit off those loud boomers (like a cannon) every hour on the hour to mark the upcoming nite of fireworks (he bought a bunch of "commercial" fireworks). Chuck (neighbor #2) called the sheriff - so all was quiet at Mike's from 5ish until 9:30ish.... then Mike started his show... we too had some "fun" fireworks but not as big as Mikes... plus there were 2 other neighbors around the lake shooting off LARGE fireworks.... which I'm sure was driving Chuck nuts...
About an hour into lighting off fireworks we saw flashing lights behind the cabin - COPS - we stopped and played cool - they didn't stop at our place... Mike was all quiet for about 30mins.. then started up again....
Again flashing lights - then all went quiet - this went on about 4 times throughout the night....
Later as we were cleaning up - my brother noticed empty cartridges along the driveway of the cabin near the road - Someone was lighting off STROBE FLASHERS!!! When sitting on the other side of the cabin looked like cop car flashers.... HA.
I went to tell my husband that someone was playing a joke on us when he got that smile..... he said, I had a couple of flashers in my pocket that I thought I would get rid of before we got deep into setting off fireworks - and when I came back around to the group everyone was talking about the cops and seeing the flashers go past the house... it was too easy to pass up :goofy:
Next day Mike said he kept stopping because they too could see flashers coming through the trees!
1. Get the deluxe meal plan. It's worth it, you can eat whatever you want. Our average bill was $250 a meal and it was all covered by the meal plan.
2. Go to the late night park options. On the 4th of July, we got our picture taken with both Mickey AND Minnie AT the same time. But it was 3:30 in the morning.
P.S. Room service counts for two meals on the meal plan... :cool:

I gotta believe those kids in those costumes probably get a little punchy at 3:30 am. They know they'll lose their job if any of them get caught in a compromising pose, but still... maybe at 4 am?
So we weren't the only ones really visited by the cops?
After he left a few people got scared and went home. I figured he came - made a presence - and warned of coming back with huge fines and stuff. That is enough to scare anyone. He is not coming back. :smile:
So he just made a small delay in our presentation, and we continued with the WI stuff going off in the backyard, while we sat out front and watched the smaller stuff - and turned around to watch the big stuff over the house. Looked like the neighbors were doing it. :cool:
CM, The guy I saw was in a red Pontiac, and it looked like he was turning into the parking lot where Old World Pizza is. I was on my way to Vicky's for pizza, or I would have driven up there to see if it was you. But it sounds like it probably wasn't.
If I seem kinda quiet this week, I apologize in advance...
Mrs. Dachshund's 41st birthday is Monday. She kind of expected a surprise party last year for her 40th - I surprised her by not doing anything. This time, I'm trying to sneak a bunch of relatives and friends into the house on Sunday to surprise her.
I apologize to all the coolers for not sending out an invite to you. After a few initial phone calls to the immediate relatives and co-workers, we've got a TON of people coming over. She is the youngest of SEVEN, so our immediate extended family is HUGE and they ALL live in the immediate area. Our 2-BR town home will barely be able to hold them - Sally has a huge crystal collection; I hope nothing gets broken!
The hardest damn thing is keeping our house in a state of "Open House" cleanliness without her expecting anything. We have a broken dishwasher, so masses in the kitchen are a daily problem. I'm having people park in the shopping mall next door and sneak through the woods to our house -
I don't think anyone could cook up a good enough lie to explain twenty vehicles parked in front of our driveway. Wish me luck!

You called 20 different dishwasher repairmen to fix it for her birthday...you never thought they would all show up so fast?
On the way back..you go a strange route saying you saw that there was no parking on the street next to you something about a major pipe breaking.
Tell her tonight that the neighbor warned you about a Home Rally for OBAMA. They told you because of potential parking issues. You told them it would be ok for one nite.
I just heard the DJ on 93X.... they're starting a RUMOR, that Rage Against The Machine is doing a set on Harriet Island, during the Republican National Convention....
They're hoping the rumor catches on, and it actually happens...
2 birds with one stone.
I've worked with him for 20 years already so I know I can work good with the guy.
now that you mention it, maybe i should sink a natural gas well on my bum.
he would roll the R, forever....
"and then they went to Chrrrrristopher Rrrrrobin's house"
They should have had an episode, where the Pooh Corner gang jumps Christopher Robin, for wearing stupid looking sweaters and knee-high socks....
Tigger could have been all like "Whooohoooohooohooo..... In gonna beat the crap outta Youuuuuu!!!!!"
who wears that kinda crap in the woods????
and no.... the woods, in Keller Park, dont count....

Piglet seems to like it :sheepish:
nice joe
Tigger will kick the crap out of Christoper Robin!!! True Clown style!!!! for real!!!
However, our friends band - The Rock & Roll Whores, will be playing at Station 4, in downtown Saint Paul, at 9:30...
If anybody is around the area tonight, and has nothing going on, we recommend that you check them out...
Its rare that we miss one of their shows, and this is at a venu, they've been trying to book for some time now....
If you go, tell them we sent you
have a happy/safe 4th!
(but if you blow any fingers off, make sure you post some pics, though)
I am in another words!!
so if you want something to go with it bring it!! I have got a ton of steaks and some not a lot of paitto salid and brats!!!
I think I'm going to stay in because it was a long day full of family drama and I'm exhausted. sorry
Great times :cool:
I was driving west on Upper 55th in IGH about 5:30 PM today.
Saw a guy in the car next to me who looked like you, Clue Master. Was it?

Out of my mind. be back in 5 minutes.
I actually in a round about way used that line today before I read it here.
So we weren't the only ones really visited by the cops?
