the mrs. is planning a Disneyland trip this spring/summer.

Sign me up for some of that power diarrhea bonar powder.


Hey Jay, the mrs. is planning a Disneyland trip this spring/summer. Do you have any suggestions? Best times to avoid crowds? Deals/bundles/etc that are worth it?

Yeah, I have Disney World this spring break.

[gixxer0.6g]

If you can swing it, go when school is in session and see the park during the week. Holidays and weekends are their busiest time and they charge the most for tickets at those times. I haven't been in about 15 years, so my info is old. Do you know anybody that works for Disney or a Disney company? If you do, they can get you tickets for cheaper. We have a friend that works for a Disney company so he got us our tickets last time we went.

You all know how much I hate traveling

Same here. My wife accuses me of intentionally injuring myself to get outta trips. It never works and I have to go anyway which is probably a good thing so I don't wind up an old hermit

First blast of real cold.



Only benefit of a cold weather loving dog, is after -30C the whole neighborhood is off-leash.










A t-shirt, long sleve shirt, a flannel shirt, bib overalls, wool scarf, mits, hat, Baffin boots and a -40 rated parka so he can sniff frozen piss stains for 20 min.

fuuuuuuuuuuk that

Stay warm Canadian brahs

I don't even see how areas with those temperatures were ever settled by humans.

When we came back from Florida my son kept asking that, he's down to move tomorrow.

I bought the kids neoprene face masks for the walk to school, but if its much below -0F the wife drives them.

It appears Calgary was settled to protect the fur trade. I knew it was either that or a crazy polygamist taking his 100 wives into the wilderness like Craster.

they weren't.

people showed up in the summer and got stuck. they didn't settle there, they survived. lol

Agree with these smart people.

Canada . . .

There is a heavy Mormon (including some weird fundamentalist types) presence here down by the Montana border.

I am several hours north of that, here was the fur trade and logging up until they discovered the worlds largest proven oil reserves.

Since then the economy has been driven by oil and Dodge Rig-rocket sales.

Smells like Gwyneth Paltrow's candles in here.

Just walked to lunch in -18.8 C (that was for you engj) before windchill. Can't complain though. Been a really mild winter so far. I've always preferred to be able to put more clothes on than burning up and taking a shower in my own sweat. I hate the darkness of winter way more than the cold.

I've been sweating my whole life. If my balls ever dry out the skin would probably crack and peel away

I spend a week at rocky mountain elevation every year and always come back drier that hillary clinton's catchers mitt. That southern humidity keeps everything lubed up.

Dat Swass

[Fawnl]

Not everyone was built for the heat, man. I could never live in the south.

-40 is pretty yucky if it’s a humid -40. But I’ve been in a dry -40 and changed a battery in a long sleeve mechanics shirt (Thunder Bay). Was ok. I’m told I’m a freak of nature though. I’d take -20C over 40c any day. I really don’t like being hot. I sweat like a goddamn whore in church.

[twovalvekid]

Sup bitches?

Back from the great south. Interview went ok. Just going to say ok because i don't want to jinx crap and im horrible about it. Could use some positivity in the life.


But....i knew all 3 on the board, and one of the people who was going to be on it was out, so the replacement was another manager who originally hired me 12 years ago. LOL.

We ran way over, and all 3 gave me separate kudos afterwards. So we shall see.

[TXBuddy]

Sounds good, man. Good Luck

Here in SC during the summer, the air sweats.

[twovalvekid]

Yup. I don't want to say it went really well. gnomeimsayin?

Totally forgot about that humidity chit. Sure it was raining a little off and on some days....but it was only upper 60s/low 70s and i was sweating balls.

[GarthVader]

It's nearly 80 degrees here and humid. Too warm for January. Can't get used to it because every week or so a cold front rolls through, dumps a bunch of rain and drops temps to a cool 50-60 degrees with overnight temps in the 40s. Brrrrrr

[Mumra]

unrelated to everything but did you know? At the Harry Potter world/whatever @ Universal Studios in Orlando you can get shots of Fireball, hard cider and a combo of the two and in a double shot form if you wish? it's called a Dragon something or other. pretty awesome but word of advice. don't have the mixed drink with a double shot and go ride the Hulk on the other side of the park. you won't be able to walk afterwards. ask me how I know. lol

don't know what brought that memory back but I just remembered that from my November trip. it was awesome.


ok, back to business.

Everyone I know who's been to Disney always talks about how fuked up they got.

This sounds like the bougie version of the Red River Shootout. I'll stick with funnel cake ale and some upside down ride run by a carnie with no teeth.

I trust a toothless carnie in a sleeveless AC/DC shirt with my life as much as an airline pilot.

not sure if that's good for the carnie or bad for the pilot. lol

[Vexidi]

Think about it. How many accidents are a direct result of the carnie operating the ride? This dude is just trying to enjoy his marlboro red 100 and give the kids a good time. Chit almost always goes south due to negligence on the part of the ride assembler or and/or poor maintenance.
