What's up people.

Hey everyone , B.T. here. Just got back from FLA. and to my surprise I lost 8 pounds. I went from 246 to 239. Even though my diet SUCKED when we were there I think putting in about 15 miles a day while pushing a stroller with all of our crap in it more that made up for the diet. Because I'm demented I would put all of the heaviest stuff from the people in our group into my stroller so it would be harder to push. I'm in kind of a weird spot because I normally don't even think about getting cut until the end of Feb. and Iv'e got a pretty good jump on it right now. At least something good came out of it because the weather STUNK.

so, how was disney? what was you're favorite ride?

Balltoucher · 01-25-2005, 08:13 PM

They were all pretty cool but Aerosmith's "rockin roller coaster" at MGM was the best. The one good thing about the crummy weather was that the parks weren't crowded,so we basically had no waiting for rides. All in all we had a great time,especially my daughter, So....mission accomplished.

was your daughter tall enough to go on that coaster? our daughter is 7 and loves that ride, but won't on the the tower of terror....go figure.

The tower of terror was my favorite. After most of the rides when we got to look at the pics they snap during the drops/loops etc. my son asked me why I don't look scared...I told him the rides had too many safety features built into them. But that one definitely was the best for making your stomach move to your throat.

My daughter just turned 5 so she didn't go on the really intense rides like "tower" and "mission space" but she did go on just about everything else without hesitation, which made me the proud poppa!! LOLOL

I wish I was back there. We went in November and it was the best vacation in quite some time. My daughter is also 5 and loves thrill rides. She went on anything she was tall enough to go on. Adults were shocked to see her walking out of Tower of Terror smiling.

With the weather here on the East coast I've been day dreaming of our trip and that perfect weather. How was the weather there for you?

BTW, Pirates of the Carribean, Haunted Mansion and Thunder Mountain Railroad are my favorites, or as my daughter likes to call it... Crazy Train.

Man, I miss that place right now

Can I get the origins of the name Balltoucher? What's the story there?

Ironically enough ,the name originates from a business trip to Florida with my partner 5 years ago. We stopped into the Orlando Ale House upon arriving and started knocking back the brews and shot. We decided to shoot a few games of pool.My partner shoots a mean game and I have my moments so we held the table for a good while. So wer'e playing a couple of clowns, A trucker-type and his buddy...one of those little, wirey intense types. I'm taking a shot and I accidentally touch one of their balls with my cue (see where this is going?) and the wiry guy jumps up like he sat on a tack and starts freaking out "YOU TOUCHED ONE OF MY BALLS!!!...YOU TOUCHED ONE OF MY BALLS!!!!

Now to be honest, if his ball moved a MICRON it was a lot. I couldn't believe he even saw it. BUT, being the wonderful person that I am, I start doing it on purpose. I thought this guys head was going to EXPLODE. And my partner,who never would miss an opportunity to throw gas on the fire starts chiming in "what's wrong with you ???!!?? stop touching the guy's F**%#*G BALLS!!!! WHAT ARE YOU A BALLTOUCHER!!!???. With this we can't keep a straight face any longer and we just lost it!! We lost the game(like we gave a s**t at that point) and proceeded to get highly drunk. And that is where BALLTOUCHER comes from. Why I chose it as my screen name is beyond me,it just popped into my head at the time.

Lol.. I'm sat here and thinking of the films where indians name people with spiritual type sounding names because of their character or some weird trait that they have. Like MoonWalker, because a person is are always sleep walking or something... ya know. TOO FUNNY!
