Odds and Ends
Thoughts On Disneyland
Hey, guys.....I was just looking for a place to ramble a little bit, and I thought, hmmm...what better place than MY webpage to do just that??? I have a few thought here, and i was wondering if anybody else knows what i'm talking about. Those of you who are here and have been to Disneyland, probly know that they only server Coke Products. Now, being a Dr. Pepper lover since birth, this used to bother me....a lot. In fact, the only time i would ever drink Coke was actually at Disneyland. The funny thing is, after several years of suffering through it, it became okay. Can any of you imagine right now the smell in the air as you walk down Main Street? I can. I love that smell, and it reminds me only of one place, Disneyland. Coke does the same thing for me. Even though i hardly ever drink it day to day, when i am at Disneyland now, the only thing i want to drink is a 20 oz Micky monogrammed Coca-Cola. If i'm walking through New Orleans square on an unbearably hot summer afternoon, I crave coke. And it quenches my thirst better than water. What are they putting in that Coke???? I dunno.
NOTE TO PROOFREADERS: The author would like to apologize for the mispelling of the name "Mickey" above. Also for the misspelling of the word "misspelling" in the previous line. It's late. Love y'all--Joe
Wow, I guess it's been a while since I added anything guys. My apologies, there have been a few events recently in my life. I was home for Christmas Break in late December and early January, and was able to make a trip to Disneyland on the 2nd of January. This was the last day of the Christmas season for the park, not to mention a weekend, so I expected a large crowd. To my pleasure and surprise, however, the park was relatively empty, yielding some of the shortest lines I've seen there in years. In addition, the weather was absolutely perfect, somewhere in the neighborhood of 65-70 degrees, and clear skies. And if short lines and a beautiful day weren't enough, I was in the company of some really wonderful people as well, including the girl who has recently snatched my heart....ahh, to be in love. But I digress. SO, all in all, I couldn't have asked for a better day at the park. Hope you keep sending in stories and thoughts for me to add. ....and I love you baby...
I love the fact that DL only serves Coke. "It's the pause that refreshes",
remember? The same thing applies to Disneyland. Sure, the DL buyers could
put in an alternate, but then your experience at DL wouldn't be quite the
same.

You know, being a general Pepsi fan, the
Coke thing always was a bit of an
annoyance for me at Disneyland. Of course, since Coke owns half of the
world, you kinda have to get used to it. But, as much as you may not like
Coca Cola products, just take a swig of the swill that comes out of the
drinking fountain....You'll be beggin' for a Coke....and most people will
probably back me up on that. Although, on a hot summer day, them Lemon Ice
things is mighty tasty. Oh, and if you're gonna eat food while in
Disneyland, you have to go to the restaurant by Splash Mountain cause it's
juse the coolest sitting there alongside the river where the Mark Twain boat
floats. Anyway, that's enough random thoughts for now.....but I must go,
they have drained me. Thanks for hearing me out.

Hey gang, Joe again....I just wanted to express a few sentiments about the Main Street Electrical Parade. I liked it. No, I loved it. I remember being a little bitty kid, and loving it....five years old, my mom had told me that she saw it when she was a child, and that it left a huge impression on her. It was always her favorite part of Disneyland. Anyway, I was one of millions heartbroken to see it go. I went to one of it's last processions down Main Street. I remember enjoying it every bit as much that last time as i did when i was so much younger. Age seems such an abstract thing at Disneyland....okay, I'm done now. Until next time.
BACK AGAIN
URINAL THEORY 1
Okay, a preface. I'm thinking that only guys are going to be able to fully appreciate this theory. Guys, you know how when you walk up to a line of urinals, we'll use the magic number five for example....that there are three or four adult urinals lined up next to each other, and then one or two child sized urinals on the end. NOW, we know that there is a required one vacant urinal between two males, which often leaves some poor guy stuck down on the child's urinal, while a regular sized urinal goes unused in the middle (this urinal is reserved for emergency cases, and is a last resort). Now here's the theory. Since there are rarely young kids using those little urinals (even if there are young kids, they wanna use the grown up ones, tippy toes or no), why not put the short urinals in between the tall ones. Alternate between short and tall when applicable. This is the obvious solution to all our urinal problems.
