Dizzy Land
by Lee
Well, Disney was fun. We were actually thinking of going to Magic Mountain today, but after three days of beinng on the go, we were both exhausted. So, we decided to sleep in today, then go walk around Santa Monica or something, maybe go down to Venice and go to the beach. Here’s a picture of Clayton at Disneyland.
It’s pretty hard to have a bad time at Disney. And June is the best time to go to these type of parks, the wait time on the rides was only about 20 minutes, so we pretty much got to do everything. But man, finding the energy to do everything is quite a chore at 35. I remember being in the Navy and a bunch of my shipmates and I got stinking drunk and went to Disneyland, which was a riot. There’s no way I could do that now. I was wiped out when we left last night, and I still had to find the energy to drive home. But all in all it was a blast.

We went to Six Flags there in Arlington one spring (taking some time off from school), and it was raining. It was when most people were either in school or at work, and the intermittent light rain was enough to keep the locals inside, yet not enough to actually be miserable.
Zero waiting in lines, and we could circle again if the lines were light enough.
We had such a blast.
Happy Father’s Day, Lee.
Ya, happy Father’s Day Lee! You certainly deserve that.
I got money for musical stuff from my wife and Spongebob and Homer Simpson boxers from the girls. Not too shabby. Of course, I spent the afternoon doing yardwork but now we’re heading to the pool for a picnic of fried chicken and Jo-jo’s. I’m drinking Seagrams and pepsi. Life is swell.
Lines at DisneyLand? What lines? I don’t have to wait in no stinking lines!
There’s a special entrance to all the rides that I can use that bypasses all the lines.
Of course, I had to pay a really high price to be able to use it. It’s the entrance reserved for people with disabilities. I survived a brain tumor and a brainstem stroke. I’ve lost my hearing in one ear and my balance system is really screwed up and I need a cane to keep from falling on my ass. So now I rent one of those stupid electric scooters at Disneyland and I get to bypass the lines. I’d much rather have to wait in the lines and not have a disabled parking placard. On the other hand, I’m still on this side of the ground, so I’m not complaining.
I like the amusement at orlando much better for the simple fact that they have a bar between every section at Island of adveture. Time to stay drunk and yell at forigners.
Semi funny story:
By the time or host( my wifes friend that was a hawaiian tropics swimsuit model) and i got to the Cat in the Hat ride we were bombed (Shock &Ale;style) we were riding in the back of the cart and every time it spun in a 360 we were yelling WWEEEEE at the top of our lungs. The 2 girls who were sitting in front of us kept turning back and looking at us with a puzzeled look on their face. We didn’t get it until the end of the ride when they started gibbering in fwench that they thought we were yelling we were screaming YYEEEESSSS every time. I think they thought i was yelling it because Girlie i was with was sqeezed up beside me.
Couple years back me and a buddie took a whoel weekend off. We hit ST louis on a Friday, ended up at a protest Rally picked up some hippy chicks, banged them , dumped them, and Hit OZZFEST the next day......
after a whoel night of having “fun” we needed tacos.oh yeahTACO bell made a good amount of $$$ off us.
Well the next day<sunday> we hit Six Flags.
Standing inside the building ,in line , forthe Mr. Frezze ride, i felt the urge to pass some gass........... OH god it was bad.. i looked over at my buddie dnad loudly stated.
“You nasty fucker”.Oh did he get some reaction… I laughed my ass off when we got out of there…
IT was a Great weekend....

Were your feet killing you by the end of the day? I always found, even as a little kid.. that after a full day at Disneyland.. my feet just hurt like hell.
And a better time to go is on a nice day in the winter. We used to go each year in high school on the last day in Jan. Well.. sometimes it could suck in that good rides might be closed for repair.. but overall, there were NO lines…
Some rides, like the Matterhorn, we’d ride 1 to a seat (instead of in each other’s laps) and when we’d get back the guy’d just ask if we wanted to go right around again and we’d get 2 or 3 rides without unloading. Tons of fun.
