You’ll probably have to be “of a certain age” to get this one.
Am I the only man who is just a little nonplussed by the commercial that starts with several men in what appears to be a deserted bar playing various musical instruments and singing to the tune of “Viva Las Vegas” (still miss ya, King) but when they get to the chorus they sing “Viva Viagra”?
Huh?
If they’re so excited to be on Viagra, why are they spending their time with each other in an empty building in the middle of nowhere?
Oh….
John Frost of The Disney Blog is having a little contest in honor of his son’s upcoming birthday, so here’s my entry in answer to the question:
“What is your favorite or most useful tip for guests of Disney’s theme parks?”
Start early and start at the back of whatever park you’re in and work your way to the front.
The Disney Blog is full of information you can always use, no matter what part of Disney you have an interest in, so drop by and see what I’m talking about.
So I combined a couple of activities into one trip out of the city today, because I’m a “green” kind of Masked Blogger.
First, I drove up to my old stomping grounds in Lake Mary to meet Denise, my friend and former colleague at the big government agency office up there, for lunch at Gator’s. The food and service are good, but the one reason I like to eat at Gator’s is their appetizer known as Tailgate Chips, which is like food of the gods. Here’s how their menu describes this unbelievably delicious dish (which is best served hot, by the way):
TAILGATE CHIPS
Popular oh yeah! Home made potato chips drizzled with Gator’s famous bleu cheese dressing then topped with cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, chopped bacon and green onions. They are sooo… good you won’t believe it till you try them! Served cold or hot upon request
We had an enjoyable lunch, catching up on things and generally making fun of all the people we used to work with, lol. Except, poor thing, she still does.
After lunch I drove up to Seminole Towne Center Mall to meet Blog Princess, Mikey and Heather at a kid’s play place called Silly Monkey. I took lots of photos, of course, but I’m including this one on my blog page because of what the guy on the right is doing.
Yes, he’s sticking his tongue out when I’m taking the picture. I didn’t notice that when I was shooting because I was focusing on Mikey and Heather, but when I was reviewing all the photos I took I saw this and I’m thinking, “Wha?????”
Looking back, I’m trying to remember if he could have been looking at his kid above me in the climbing equipment and sticking his tongue out at him/her, or if he was just being a dick and trying to ruin my shot. Regardless, he looks like a moron and I had to post this one for all 3 of my readers to see. You can see all the photos on Flickr by clicking the link above or the photo itself.
Anyway, we had a good time, but I think Mikey was overwhelmed by all the kids in Silly Monkey and wanted to get home to watch a video he had been looking forward to, so we only got to spend about 90 minutes together. Heather is getting bigger all the time (well, so is Mikey, lol) and she melted her old granddad’s heart by running up to me and throwing her arms around my legs and hugging me.
So that was my day, fun with a friend, fun with the grandkids and fun with a guy sticking his tongue out. My day is complete.
