Damn, that made it seem as though all I do is go to restaurants. Those are not my traditions.
My only weekly ritual is spending my Saturdays cleaning while watching DVDs. Usually a season of a show, or a trilogy of movies of some sort.

my friend was in town just the other day and we where talking about weekly traditions. We had two, Thursday was Smackdown night(wrestleing and root beer or orange floats) and Tuesday was Michelle night. Michelle was some girl he liked and we would take her out and hang out(well for him most nights were Michelle night but I got to go on Tuesdays)

Summer plans: No school! This is the first Friday without homework hanging overhead in forever. Maybe a weekend in Vegas, hopefully. We got the grandfolks out there a puppy that I’m eager to see. I also am planning to use the school-less time to make and implement some decidings about the work/school/living situations (thrill-o-rama, I know). Seeing late movies on hot nights and trying to avoid withdrawl from favorite shows. Eating Italian ice and not leaving the couch for hours at a time (not mutually exclusive).

This summer like the last I get to go through summer classes… Damnit… But I get out a year early for the low price of 2 destroyed summers. Luckily there’s enough time when I get out because I planned a 4-5 day flea marketing trip! SWEET!

Summertime, yay! Uh, I plan to read everything you post (take your time we’ve got 3 1/2 months) and in the time not spent doing that I am building a new studio, just finished painting the walls today (the ceiling is next). I hope to go some where, most likely Michicagn (how exotic!). Doing new artwork, reading, writing, watching movies, the ususal.

We’re planning on moving back to the States so I can finish school, so we’re sort of saving up for that…except we found plane tickets to Paris for 40€ a piece, so we’re going to frickin’ France for 4 days. Should be fun.
Other then that, I’ll probably be working maditory over-time like I have been for the last month, because my company moved, and who ever took care of the logisticts of it all were utter idiots. ROS, oh yeah!
Oh, in a couple weeks, we’re going to a church married couples retreat. It should be fun, and hopefully nothing like Marge and Homer’s.

Ghosted by Mad Cow @ 05/20/2006 4:52 AM EDT

My folks are flying over from the States to visit my husband and I for a weekend. Then, presuming I can get the time off, we’re hopping over to France for a week.

I haven’t seen my family in several months, so I’m looking forward to it.

Saving up money for Japan and hitting up the booze. Well, I might sneak in a camping trip or something like that here or there, but no major vacations.

Ghosted by Nate @ 05/20/2006 5:33 AM EDT

Me? I’m desperately trying to get my grad school and my scholarship foundation to talk to one another so I can register for summer classes, while simultaneously applying for a second job AND picking up random contracts for manual labor around campus, and occasionally emailing all my friends who are all hundreds of miles away for the summer. Yup, it’s summertime, and the living is GOOD GOD SOMEBODY PLEASE STAB ME WITH A SPORK.

You know, I used to love that Rainbow Bright zoo movie.

As for summer plans, I’m gonna sleep a lot, and build a Ghostbusters proton pack. That’s all.

Oh yeah, and the library just got in some Mork And Mindy DVDs. I’m kinda looking forward to those, and they’ll kill a few hours of my summer.

My big vacation happened last week, went to Hilton Head where all the important non-immediate relatives live. Beat Hans at mini golf. Went on a trolley tour of Savannah with a sardonic trolley conductor. While in Savannah we passed this haunted bed&breakfast that my grandparents stayed in and they have this creepy mannequin standing at the window where the chick supposedly fell to her death…or WAS SHE PUSHED?

I’m also pretty geeked to not be a nanny for the first time in two years. 10 hour days taking care of someone’s kids is not for me.

Ghosted by Jessica Marie @ 05/20/2006 10:10 AM EDT

Whoa, looks like a marathon session awaits us on the FNT/SNT.
Plans for the summer: (1) Not sure (2) something (3) watch T.V.

This is me and Mrs. Manimal’s 5 year anniversary so something big is bound to happen. Probably go to Charleston, S.C.
Also, I will be up in NY (messina) with Pops Manimal to pick up the niece and nephew. Along the way: GETTYSBURG and ANTIETAM!! \m/

Summer fun- Waking up late, playing with my dolls, I mean action figures! Then getting bored after a couple of days and longing for school to start. So sad.

Ghosted by Darth Poop @ 05/20/2006 10:17 AM EDT

Summer plans? Bleh. I started my semi-summer term last week. Because my school is in New Orleans, the students were all scattered during fall term while they tried to unflood the city and such. So they’re having this condesnsed term for people to catch up if they didn’t take classes or didn’t take enough/the right classes. I’m taking the absolute max number, 12 credits (it’s smashed into 7 weeks), which requires special dean permission and all, hooray!

After that is over, I’m driving back to New Mexico to sleep a little in the remainder of my break. And apparently an archtect friend of my mother’s (I’m studying architecture) has some work for me now that I can draft on the computer. So yah, work.

I’ll most likely also be working on jewelry also. Those of you who like pretty shinies, click on my name. Etsy is a pretty cool site, everything on it is hand made. Plus, you can buy the work of a genuine x-e blog enthusiast (me)!

Ghosted by Mara @ 05/20/2006 10:21 AM EDT

Eh, my summer will probably consist of the traditional drinking and swimming and swimming and drinking. There’s talk of me and a couple girls from work possibly making a trip to Hershey Park, but who knows. At some point once the new excursion schedule is out I gotta find someone to sucker into taking a ride on the Reading Railroad with me.

I’m just trying to make it through the weekend first. My cat went into the hospital yesterday with a urinary track infection, but he’s fine now and I can pick the sweetie up tomorrow morning. But my dog is on her last leg, and she’s getting put down on Tuesday. Very sad, but I knew it was coming.

Ghosted by Mystie @ 05/20/2006 11:10 AM EDT

Talking about vacations is a depressing subject for me. The only vacation I was EVER on, was going to Ocean City MD for about a week with my best friend and her parents. It wasn’t even that great because her stupid posessive boyfriend at the time had to come down also and so we were sneaking around, trying not to let her parents find out, though they did. It was kinda sucky…

But yeah, this summer is just going to be the same ol’ shit, different day. I always take vacation from work on my birthday but that’s not until August 24th. I don’t even have any plans for it.

Ghosted by Ryane @ 05/20/2006 11:36 AM EDT

I’m taking classes this summer, but I still have an open enough schedule to enjoy my summer a little. Sometime during the sweltering heat of July, the boyfriend and I will be taking a mini-roadtrip (3 hours) down to Orlando to go to Wet n’ Wild, because we have leftover tickets from our last Orlando vacation, back in late March, when it was unseasonably cold.

Other than that, no particular plans, other than frequent trips to the beach and maybe catching up with my best friend, who just graduated from high school and will have some time on her hands.

Here’s my contribution to the All-Day Saturday thread…even though it is still Friday here.

Plans for the summer: Trying to find a job! I just graduated from college, and I’ve got to find me some money. So no vacations for me.

Summer plans? Summer is the busy season hera at the ol’ Gallery of Art at Anadarko. (had to plug to justify both my position and ‘net hookup.) We get to talk to people from all over the nation, and around the world. Just making new freinds and trying not to strangle the ones who ask about "the tribes who still live in teepees." Drop on by if you’re road tripping through the Sooner State this Summer. I’ll be the dumpy guy at the computer.

This summer Hubby and I are going to LBI with his family like we do every year, I usally can not wait for it, but this year I fear it. My In Laws are going to drive me batty telling me how to take care of my son and trying to take over. I’m hoping I get the courage to have a nice little talk with them before we go.

I’m also hoping that DH and I will get our house rented before summer so we can move back home near people we know, my friend is home for the summer and I can’t wait to have a social life again

Ghosted by IHAQ @ 05/20/2006 12:46 PM EDT

So far the only summer plans are my cousins graduation in two weeks and The Pharcydes "Drop" as my retro tune for crusing this summer.

Next Friday, I’ll be departing from the safe, inviting bosom of the buckeye state to spend 10 days on the coast of Maine. It’ll be 10 days filled with fishing, boating, clam-bakes, and (if Matt’s appraisal of the region is accurate) Pepsi.

Ghosted by The Yeti @ 05/20/2006 12:55 PM EDT

SNT! Not only do I get to participate now, at the beginning of Saturday, but I don’t work tomorrow night, so I may well be here then too!

A little something in the spirit of the SNT (and Somethin’ Funny’s Taco Bell Tuesdays and Red Lobster Fridays): Anybody have weekly traditions like that? Back in my Freshman year, every Tuesday was Poker Night and every Thursday was Movie Night. Now, the days all seem to run together–six random, blah days and one SNT day!

Little Brother and his wife wonder what they’re going to do when the time comes for their old grey cat to move to the next world. Sister-in-Law wants to go the whole Egyptian route, Mummification and all. But my Big Sister (living with them cause she doesn’t play well with others) thinks that’s over the top. Sis-in-law wants to shave everyone’s eyebrows, even if it means shaving Big Sis’s in her sleep. In-Law’s Caddo, not Egyptian, but is a history buff.
Little Brother, in typical fashion, wants to freeze-dry the cat and display her in a typical pose. Big Sis is creeped out a might at that one. "But then we can move her around the house every so often, and place her in her favorite spots." I hope he’s kidding.

Ghosted by kingklash @ 05/20/2006 5:10 PM EDT

None. Unless you count work and school, of course. And I don’t.

Wow, that was easy. Last year I would’ve been able to add a lot more to the discussion. =\

Ghosted by Matt(#2?) @ 05/20/2006 5:16 PM EDT

I am hoping to make a small, or *fingers crossed* a huge move this summer. Either was I am going back to Seattle for a bit ’cause my oldest sister is turning 30, and we gotta embarrass her properly. I am also now registered for 2 different schools in 2 states, for the fall. So, I need to pick a place to live soon.
And, in high school I lived in the sticks and we’d skip last hour on wednesdays and drive to another small town, but this one had a burger king. And we called that, Whopper Wednesday.

I’ll probably go to Toronto and New York for a vacation. I’m definately going to New York in Decemeber too.
In fact, I went to Boston and New York in January and recently had a long weekend in Copenhagen.
That’s one of the great things about living in England, we get loads of vacation time and Europe is on the doorstep. I do like New York though.
And also if England get to the World Cup final, I’m going to Germany, even if I have to sell my house.

Ghosted by Ryan @ 05/20/2006 7:05 PM EDT

I need to get a proper job this summer.
So I can have money for college in the fall.
Which I don’t wanna do, because I feel weird about getting a late start. Some folks my age are already graduating and I haven’t even started.

But my brother loses his financial aid if I don’t go. There are worse things I could do, I suppose.

Ghosted by Somethin' Funny @ 05/20/2006 7:47 PM EDT

I haven’t had a real vacation in years. By that, I mean taking a trip somewhere. Offtime from work, I lay around the house and do basically nothing. Glamorous, yeah I know. I don’t feel the desire to travel anymore, it all feels like work to me. I’m sure I’d feel different if I were married or had kids, but since I don’t it all feels like alot of effort for something I likely wouldn’t enjoy since I’d just feel alone doing it by myself.

That, plus I make alot less money than I used to. I work for a certain airline based in Atlanta, and we had 3 pay cuts last year. In addition to that, I’ve been on a 32 hour shift for the last year, so money is tight, not that I care so much. The 3 day weekends make up for it. Of course, having no cash means I spend all that time at home, heh. Most people take the reduced hour line to take classes or work another job; I’m probably the only one doing it just because I’m lazy.

Ghosted by The Kraken @ 05/20/2006 8:18 PM EDT

I am very much looking forward to the summmer…because for the first time in my entire life, I’ll be having a normal, QUIET summer. No tourists making noise in the hotels and apartments on either side of me. No drunken kids starting fights on the street at six AM. No praying a classic car won’t run me down as I try to get to the boardwalk to blow money at the arcades I probably shouldn’t be blowing. No fighting for hours at work with 500 different people from three states and five European countries. I’ve looked forward to this summer since I moved to Oaklyn in February - a summer in a nice, normal little town where June, July, and August are just a warmer time of year, not the be-all and end-all of the universe.

And with all that, I actually AM taking a vacation. I’m visiting my best friend, who lives in the Berkshire mountains in northwestern Massachussettes, in late July. I’m looking forward to that, too. It’ll be just her, me, and her folks. We’re gonna hit local mini-golf courses, check out her local Six-Flags, mall-hop, and hang out and do our own commentary for her DVDs.

Speaking of Six Flags, I’m hoping to go to Great Adventure sometime within the next month, or when El Toro opens, whichever one comes first.

Last night (friday) was my Frat’s Formal…it’s kinda like a prom, but much more private. And BOY did I get drunk (open bar). I just want to thank XE that this was at a Holiday Inn and everyone stayed in the hotel and no one drove anywhere. I’m currently feeling my first hangover troughout today. Lots of crazy stuff happened, I just don’t wanna do anything right now.

Well, as nutso as it sounds. I’m playing Final Fantasy XI this summer. Yeah, two (three?) years late, sue me. I’m actually playing on a PS2. Had to trade my slimline for a chubby and everything. You do not want to know how much money I sunk into this rig. But for my favorite series of all time, I glady empty my coffers.

Looks like the doh-mani curse struck again. At least it was not both our faults this time, dohopki.

Matt, you S.O.B., thanks to you I watched Heartbeeps yesterday. It wasn’t that bad at all just pointless. John Williams doing the music and Stan Winston doing the make-up lend the project a lot more credibility than it should have.
Bottom line: Robot movies do not compute.

I didn’t have anything interesting to add last night! I should have posted to mention about how the Dad from Little People, Big World bragged about being an Ewok in "one of the Star Wars movies" but I checked the credits and it wasn’t Return of the Jedi, if you catch my drift. It’s still cool as hell, actually. Now I’m watching the "Geeks, Freaks & Sidekicks" ep of Child Star Confidential because I wanted the skinny on the kid from Dick Tracy…child actors do NOT have it easy. Nothing will ever soften my dislike of Dustin Diamond, though.
Sad to hear about your pets, Mystie.

I’ll be going to Ireland for a family wedding in August. I’m the oldest of 18 cousins on my mom’s side, but since they’re all in the UK and my brother and I are in the US, we never get to see them. So that’ll be nice, especially now that it’s been 4 years since we were last over there. A few more of them will have crossed that threshold between annoying, time-wasting child and moderately interesting adult you can actually have a conversation with.

Tonight being the last Sopranos is contributing powerfully to the Sunday funk. Next week will be worse, I suppose. Thankfully there’s always X-E…I’ve already read the Double Dragon, Rainbow Brite and Popples articles. As a completely superfluous aside, I was also reading some old archives from another site in a similar vein as X-E and they don’t hold up near as well. X-E archives improve with age

We’re going to Fire Island the 1st week in July for vacation. Except we’re not staying on Fire Island, because we can’t afford it, so we’re staying at a hotel in Commack, Long Island and taking the ferry over every day.

Labor Day weekend we’re driving down to do the Jersey Shore thing. We’re staying in Tom’s River and going to the beach at Point Pleasant.

Hmm. For hardcore Massachusettsites/Red Sox fan; we spend a lot of time in hated Yankee country…

If X3 ends up not sucking, I’m going to send Brett Ratner a bouquet of flowers, along with a sign to hang up in his office that says "Thank You For Not Sucking." And under the circle-and-slash will be a picture of Chris Tucker with his mouth wide open.

And if he lives up to expectations, the flowers and novelty sign will of course be replaced by a thoughtful arrangement of lead piping, nitroglicerine, and an assortment of rusty nails.

I already took my summer vacation.

I went to Canyonlands National Park for a weekend of off-road adventures with some friends from work (the only kind I have in Idaho). We drove a 100 mile trail over a couple of days, and it was really pretty in a desolate sort of way. If Stephen King’s "The Gunslinger" inspired you with visions of desert vistas, Canyonlands and Arches National Parks should be on your list of places to visit.

What cracked me up about that trip was the contrast everyone had between their "work" persona and their "recreation" persona. We left from work, and in some cases you could just watch the weight of responsibility leaving them. Slumped shoulders and downcast eyes gave way to happy faces and sprightly gaits. Stark professionalism (we deal with nuclear waste and the government, after all) changed to drunken stupors. A good time was had by all. The only downer was the wind, and the fact that our campsite was bare rock. I had to load about 200 lbs of rock into my tent to make it stay put, since I couldn’t stake it down. Still, one of the guys got a pretty funny video of me taking the tent down. All you see is a rock come whizzing out the doorway every few seconds, and you can hear my steady stream of profanity.

Another thing that cracked me up about that trip was the contrast in the general atmosphere. At work, not long before the end of the day, we had to endure a briefing from our supervisors on stair safety. Some genius at the head office in Pittsburgh tried to carry the top of a desk down some stairs by himself, with predictable results. I feel sorry for his injuries, and I hope he makes a full recovery. I also thought he was an idiot for being so reckless, and making me take time away from my real work for a stupid briefing when I’m overloaded and working overtime. BTW, overtime sucks when you don’t get paid for it; being salaried sucks. Anyway, my attitude was so different less than 48 hours later. My friend made the mistake of removing the top from his Jeep for the trip. I was half-loaded, hanging on for dear life, standing up in the Jeep, with no safety belt or anything hold me in but brute strength and a roll bar, bouncing down a rough trail at 20 or 30 mph. Talk about risky! At work I’d never even THINK of doing something so crazy.

I went back to work for a day, then spent almost a week in the Seattle area. I got sent there for work, so I just used the free plane ticket to go to an area that I’ve never visited before. Seattle seems like a pretty nice town, but vacationing by yourself is kind of sucky. I felt like such an alcoholic the two times I tried to go to bars. Plus, I’m not used to homeless people constantly pestering me for handouts. It’s super annoying. Perhaps I should have more compassion, but mostly I just wanted to wear a sandwich board that said "I’m not giving you a dime, because I know you’ll just blow it on booze."

I’ll spend the rest of the summer working a shit-ton of overtime and looking for another job. It’s becoming a race to quit out where I work. The hiring process takes almost a year because a)it’s a government contractor and b) the government does an extensive background check on you. That being the case, we’re losing people faster than they get replaced. The rest of us have to try and pick up the slack. Since it also takes at least a good six months (or more) to learn enough of the bullshit rules we have to follow, even when new people get on-site they’re useless for a long time. We’re supposed to have about 60 experienced people out there to support starting up a major process line, and right now we’ve got about 30. Those of us who are left are crumbling under the workload, and we’re all desperately trying to get out. A guy that started the same day as me just gave his two-weeks notice today, and I’m insane with jealousy. GRR!

Wow, I started out totally cheerful and now I’m completely whiny. Sorry.

Wow, I just realized that I again made an excessively long post.

At least I’m prompting a new blog entry. I have a tendency to write a lot here because my life in Idaho is pathetic, and I have no one outside of work to rant to. Matt has a tendency to post a new entry shortly after I post one of my long diatribes, meaning no one actually reads them. Actually, I’m not sure anyone would read them anyway. Regardless, I say it’s high time for a new thread.

Newly discovered dinosaur named for Harry Potter: Dracorex hogwartsia, a member of the pachycephalosaur family, honors Rowling’s use of dragons in her wildly popular children’s book series. The name comes from the Latin words draco (dragon), rex (king), and hogwartsia (after the fictional Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry in "Harry Potter").
Pretty cool!

Speaking of Youtube, I found the commercial for Milky the Marvelous Milking Cow. The audio was featured on a recent Retrocrush podcast, it makes you wonder how long the toy would be fun for. Also, the stereotypical farmer hick voiceover is a riot.

Mr. Bucket was featured on a podcast recently too; a toy game where you put his balls in the bucket. The ad writers must have had a lot of fun!

Yup, my first deserved summer off after a first year of teaching. I plan to ROAD TRIP all over the place with the boyfriend- we are giving up our apartment in July and are officially going to live in the car and on friend’s couches allllll summer- no rent! Going to split our time between friend’s houses, parent’s houses, cabins in the woods, cabins on the lake, the car, and a $70 tent. I cannot wait to do whatever the hell I want to do- play guitar, read, swim, and have some fun….until of course, September starts and I need to have a job and a real place to live again.

I want to see X3 very badly, but it is a 2 hour drive EACH WAY to get to the nearest English movie theater here…so, I might not see it for awhile, and I am worried about visiting the XE Blog for this week’s SNT and read every single surprise the movie had…any chance of this SNT being one full of nice *spoiler warnings*? Does X3 merit that? I remember that the whole ‘Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’ stuff got kind of ugly on here…

We’re spending most of this summer painting and renovating the house. I’d almost rather take a bullet to my left nut than paint. I think it’s because I suck at it. I spend hours upon hours priming & painting a room only to look upon the finished product and think, "well, that looks like crap".
My parents bought my family season passes to…DOLLYWOOD! Actually, we enjoy it and they have a pretty awesome wooden coaster. My son and I have been 3 times already this year and we plan on going much more. They will probably revoke our passes since we have completely taken advantage of them. We are going to Williamsburg/Busch Gardens in July for a big expensive wedding bash that my spoiled niece is having. Good times are better when they are paid for by someone else!

Ghosted by Jedoc @ 05/25/2006 8:45 PM EDT

nope, did not see "Desperation"…I think someone taped it for me, so I will get to see it pretty soon I think. I’m sure it was pretty well done, just as all recent King movies on ABC are "pretty well done" meaning that I don’t think you can really do a King story justice within the confines of network TV. Although the confines of a big-budget motion picture are also hard to fit a King book into.

Of course, "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile" were the recent exceptions to the rule…but then again, "Shawshank" was a novella, not a book, and "Green Mile" was an already serialized novel.

I still think, that with the success of The Matrix Trilogy, LOTR, and yes, the Star Wars prequels…that a three-installment telling of "The Stand" would be just insanely perfect!! And there are def. enough King fan(atic)s out there to wait for all three movies and come back for them. I really don’t think "The Stand" on ABC was that great…but that’s just me.

And that’s my beef with King movies on ABC…although, he must be getting as ASSLOAD of moolah; that’s for damn sure!

So I learned something about chemistry this morning. See, last night around bedtime, I had a sour stomach, so I found me some Pepto Bismol tablets left over from freshman year, which I thought were chewable. As it turns out, they were technically chewable, just not quite as chewable as I had hoped. Not tasty. So I rinsed my mouth out as well as I was able and went to bed.

And then this morning I woke up with a foul taste in my mouth…and my tongue was black. Woke me right the hell up, let me tell you. So I rush to my computer, trying to imagine what fiendish breed of flesh-eating bacteria could have gotten ahold of my precious tongue. As it turns out, though, a little research reveals that bismuth, the active ingredient in Pepto Bismol, reacts with your saliva to bake bismuth sulfide, a black, foul-tasting compound which is essentially harmless.

The moral of the story: it is scary when things happen to your tongue without warning.

Ghosted by Jedoc @ 05/26/2006 8:31 AM EDT

Hey. I haven’t posted in a little while. I just haven’t had much to say. That hasn’t really changed, I just miss you guys.

As for summer plans, I may or may not be going to my husband’s cousin’s wedding across the country. We’re trying to save up for A LOT of stuff, and a couple $400 plane tickets weren’t in the plans (I’ve been watching the fares for months now.) My husband talked to his aunt early this week and she is going to buy one of our tickets for us with points, but when I asked my husband if she was going to buy two tickets (and we pay her for one) or if she’s going to just buy his, he answered with an idignant, "I don’t know!" Like, what kind of anal-retentive person would ask a question like that? Arrgh. And this was right after I told him two days before that I wasn’t sure I wanted us to pay for me to go, and then he gives the aunt the go ahead with no questions asked (meanwhile getting frustrated with me for being frustrated with him.) So, no cool vacation plans unfortunately. Gee, I guess I had more to say than I thought…

Ghosted by Lori @ 05/26/2006 9:56 AM EDT

Jedoc — been there, done that. Always brush or scrape your tongue after taking Pepto chewables. Tis why I prefer the capsules or the liquid, but the chewable travel oh so well.

Pepto tends to make something else black, too, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, I had a rather pleasant surprise at 5:30 this AM. Apparently Cartoon Network runs old Mr. T cartoons then. I unfortunately missed the last ten minutes to go catch the train though.

JoshC: I, too, love Cannibal the Musical. In spite of my pull as VP of my school’s theater club, I couldn’t get them to do a stage version for the Spring musical (and I pitched it three or four times).

Welcome back, Matt! How long did you last before you hit your french frie maximum level? I think I hit mine on the third day the last time I was down in Wally World … er I mean Disney World. Can’t wait for your review, dude.

Hey JoshC…two seconds on Google = "Doki Doki Panic"…two more seconds yielded the ROM…this is your mission, should you choose to accept it. Good Luck.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like Cannibal (except me) so perhaps you’re not as lonely as you think. It was talked up so much that when I finally saw it…eh. It’s like a lame in-joke.

Welcome back Matt.

SNT, anyone?

Not that I ever participate all that heavily, but it’s still one of those traditions for me.

Welcome back Matt!

So, how goes it?

Ghosted by Darth Poop @ 05/27/2006 10:46 PM EDT

Welcome home, Matt…

So when is the inevitable Disney World article going up?

Ghosted by Cameron T. @ 05/27/2006 10:56 PM EDT

Fuck, Ghoulies IV is on FLIX right now, and I don’t get that damn channel. Oh well, I guess it’s back to He Got Game…:(

Welcome back Matt! You know, if you have to limit your spending for six months…you came out ahead of the game!

Ghosted by kidneyboy @ 05/28/2006 2:16 AM EDT

Oh yeah, I completely forgot to mention this but…well…welcome back, Matt!

Ghosted by Nate @ 05/28/2006 2:46 AM EDT

Yay! Matt’s back. I missed the SNT. Even though I never post on it. Just knowing it’s there is enough.

Ghosted by Gadget Mouse @ 05/28/2006 6:05 AM EDT

Let’s see the pics. Your 15.5 seconds of rest are over now.

Ghosted by Mars @ 05/28/2006 12:30 PM EDT

Woo! Welcome back! Looking forward to seeing a few of those 800.
Cannibal! really works best with the audio commentary. It’s the only commentary I’ve ever heard (excluding Orgazmo) where they have to take a break because the weedman shows up.

Matt’s Back! And it’s got a tan!
Here I is, at work, because this weekend starts the "Summer Hours" here at the Gallery. Memorial Day Sale going on, 40% off original art and 30% off jewelry and crafts. Act like a tourist, and I’ll mock you behind your back! Mention you heard about us on the ‘net, and maybe the boss’ll spring for a better computer!

Matt, you’ve got a lot of nerve coming back here after what you pulled. You old pirate.

Ghosted by Jedoc @ 05/28/2006 3:08 PM EDT

Can’t believe I missed Bitnermas, and I was there from the beginning, oh well, am I still in time for Bitnerannakuh?

Ghosted by whitemale_98 @ 05/28/2006 3:45 PM EDT

I wonder if Matt was there during Star Wars weekend and waited about four weeks just for souveniers. While flying back from Disney World a week ago, I talked to a girl who waited that long just for brother to get a Darth Goofy Plush!

Ghosted by Unknown @ 05/28/2006 6:00 PM EDT

I celebrated Bitnermas, but it’s only 5 more shopping days till Bitnerwanzaa!

And WB MATT! Finally…..when is that article coming up??

Ghosted by Invader Norbert @ 05/28/2006 6:06 PM EDT

Oh, I am so excited to see WDW stuff, Ive only been once and I need to go again, is 2 years too soon to go on a second honeymoon?

Welcome back Matt!

Ghosted by IHAQ @ 05/28/2006 7:41 PM EDT

Welcome back, Matt- you lucky dog, you. Can’t wait to live vicariously through your pics/report. I only went to WDW once, and it was for ONE day at ONE park, so I feel the need to go again whenever the wallet allows me.
