Here's a fun little ponder: favorite childhood vacation and have you ever tried to go back/recreate it.

This came up cause a friend here is going to disney world for the first time.

I've only gone to disneyland but just going through all the rides and telling her what she "has" to see/ride is so much fun. I need to get me a chick and drag her to disneyland. Happiest place on Earth!

For me it was probably my Orlando vacations too. Not just disney, I liked Universal more as a kid.

I went back there several times with my family, and once again in '07 with a friend. I know some of the rides off by heart and can navigate to just about everywhere without needing the maps... but even so, it never got any less enjoyable.

I wish I was rich and could go again.

I used to go to Cape Cod with my grandparents a lot. I would LOVE to go back!! I haven't been there in years!

Still sick! I feel okay but my voice sounds like I've been smoking 3 packs a day for about 20 years....

I also officially dropped out of school. It just wasn't for me. The place was way too ghetto and gross for my liking. It's such a huge weight off my shoulders too. I'm happy I left.

I have applied for, and am doing a working interview, at a high school to be an actual teacher. So with a little bit of luck by Wednesday I will be a normal high school teacher instead.

ok I did like HIMYM ( High 6!) I love the Marshall/Lily overbearing dad bit and I thought it was a bit far fetched that Robin would sink so low ( come on 2 weeks without shower and cheeto in hair?)
I'm betting Rachel Bilson's wedding though sort of wondering... the title is How I MET your mother. So after we get to him meeting her is it over??

I wouldn't mind Rachel Bilson being a regular this season. That would be awesome. Especially since her roommate is the mother it makes sense for Ted to meet her at Rachel's wedding.

I was annoyed by the Marshal Lily story a bit because we've never seen Marshal's dad before. If he's such a big part of Marshal's life then where has he been? That type of thing annoys me with HIMYM. Like apparently Ted's sister has been living in New York for a while now and we haven't seen her again at all. Where are all these important people hiding?

I find it strange when they do that. Especially when the actors/actresses are relative no names who aren't off in full time roles on other shows/movies. I'm sure they'd be happy with the extra work even for little cameo's like being in the background of a wedding scene. For instance at Ted's wedding. We didn't see any of his family there. That's kinda lame IMO.

Did the same later in the day. Got to shoot the Sig I traded for an old varmint rifle. Still effectively shooting right handed sans the right eye. Over the last year and a half I have taught myself to shoot long guns left handed and I'm fast approaching the skill I had before the cataract in my right eye got too bad to see clearly. During last years 76th Battalion D*C shoot was the last time I shot a long gun right handed. Hopefully I can get the surgery done soon.

Okay, the shocker... Ted and Barney (and sometimes Larney) are the parents. Barney so wrought with over compensation for his feminine feelings he'd hidden by sleeping with so many women decides to take the plunge and opts for surgery. Sadly Barney, now known as Bonnie as to alleviate confusion, was unable to bear children and accepted both Robin and Lillys offer to be surrogate mothers. Together Bonnie and Ted decide that their idea to store sperm before Barneys operation was a good one and each sire a child. Of course there was a conflict episode while they decided who gets to inseminate Robin, but Barney/Bonnie decides it is best that Lilly carries his child (mostly due to the fact he didn't get to sleep with her before the operation).

No joke. They're pretty much designed that way. I just hate how they seem to purposefully ignore common sense. They setup all sorts of bureaucratic hoops for you to jump through just to be jerks.

My personal pet peeve is with poker taxes. They seriously say you need to have a hand written log of every single time you play a live game. For online you're sort of on your own at determining what a "session" is because you can play multiple tables at a time. They couldn't just make it simple and tax your net winnings. Nooooo that would be too simple.

I really bet they could make much more money if they just said "Hey we already get your W2 forms from your employers. We'll send you a bill and if you want to dispute it or claim anything other than the standard deductions then you have to fill out your forms." So, many people would just decide it's not worth it and pay whatever they come up with.

Our version of the IRS is equally useless. They sent me a letter many years ago now telling me that they lost all my information and need it updated. I never did respond, just forgot. But I'm still getting taxed, so they cant be that much in the dark.

I would die without coffee. I guess coffee around the youngsters is a no no.

I saw that earlier this week. I almost want to try it myself. The thing I can't comprehend is the bun. How does that thing not grow mold!?

Plus how come no one has another test subject? Go to a Red Robin or something and get a more upscale type burger to compare to. Then if they're drastically different I'll never touch McDonalds again.

I drink both. Being a hot drink, coffee is more inviting now that it is getting cold.

Do you guys remember the man who ate each item on the McDonalds menu and nothing else. He ended up in the hospital. His condition was serious.

It could be faked, but why? I guess if a person wants 15 minutes of fame they could fake it. I agree; the bread should have at least gotten moldy.

I like when people call it pop. Does anyone know if it's a regional thing to call it pop, or if it's normal and us on the eastern shore are just weird for only calling it soda?

TRAVELER

Some regions use soda while others use pop and still other regions go the full route and say soda pop.

We say soda in Wisconsin. At least I do.

There's also differences over here in the UK. As far as I know, nobody calls it soda, some places in England call it pop and up here in Scotland it'll usually just be called juice. Fizzy juice if they feel the need to specify.

TRAVELER

Fizzy juice!

I have a friend who travels to England once a year to take in their plays. He prefers the London theater over Broadway. Can't blame him. Have you heard the sort of thing they put on here in the states.

He mentioned to me that when you order a coffee in England they automatically put cream in it. Or maybe it was Japan. I get my stories scramble quit often. He quickly had to learn to insist on it being delivered black. I can see why nations go to war so often with all these terrible cultural differences. If any waiter, in the United States, served a cup of coffee with cream already added, they would be hung in the town square.

As should anyone who serves coffee. Yuck!

So, I was watching Firefly on my phone during my flight home this weekend. I decided to watch Trash and I had an older woman in the seat next to me. I kept tilting the screen really far when naked nathan was on there so she wouldn't get flustered if she glanced over. hehe

Love the fizzy juice, but what do you call actual juice> you know the kind that comes from fruit?

Ok gearing up for what is starting out as another hellacious week.

Fruit juice is also just called juice. If you wanted orange juice, you just ask for orange juice. If you wanted orange soda, you'd likely ask by a brand name such as Fanta or Tango or something.

That seems inherently complicated... couldn't you just continue to call soda what it is??
Also mince... I have issues with mince. It implies strange things...

NV and boobies... definitely boobies:)

Also side note do not order a screwdriver in UK.. they will appear puzzled and if anything get you an actual screwdriver.

Kids pounding on door AGAIN!!! Can't they just go to class and do their freakin work without getting into trouble?

Actually, there are more. Bra manufacturers have reported an increase in sales of larger bras and a demand for even larger bras. Evolution takes a step forward.

I hate to burst your bubbles...so to speak, but big boobs are a big pain. Most women with big ones have a reduction to prevent the nerve damage, spinal fractures, and other fun...

But if it'll make you feel better the average woman's boobs have gotten bigger:)

PS why on earth is bigger better?????

They're not a pain for the guy in the relationship Bigger is better only to a point of course. However, the question is like asking why long hair is better (it always is even if some guys deny it...they're just being difficult). It's because it's unguylike. The human brain focuses on differences. If our eyes didn't shake slightly we'd be blind while sitting still (assuming things around us aren't moving). When we look at the female form we're looking at things that are different than the male form. Accentuating those just gets our attention all the better.

That's my clinical logic behind it at least.

Bigger means we can see them from a greater distance. They are parked right in front, so not hard to miss.

hehe just watched this weeks HIMYM. Barney's "boobs?" question made me think of this. Though Lily's justification that boobs are the same as a dude's penis just does not fly. I would be right there with the rest of the guys cringing and yelling if someone started talking like that.

All around good episode though.
