I said I was going to quit this place for a few days, but I’ve calmed down. I find myself somewhat devastated about last night’s loss. I’m at the stage of grief in an NBA series when you try and talk yourself into your team being able to come back from being down 3-1. Props to the Heat for playing hard and getting the victory. I hope the Bulls can at least push it to 6 on Thursday.

May 25th, 2011 at 8:51 AM
Do people vacation in NYC for the same reasons they vacation at Disney?
It’s my understanding that you would vacation in NYC because you enjoy culture and being an adult. You vacation in Disney because no one will take your kids for a week.
May 25th, 2011 at 8:52 AM

I laughed yesterday when you made that comment. Did he end up really saying it?
May 25th, 2011 at 8:53 AM
Disney is an awesome vacation if you have kids, expensive as all hell, but somehting your kids will really dig. I can see no other earthly reason to venture south of S. Carolina beyond that.
May 25th, 2011 at 8:53 AM
sure. there’s a lot you can do with your kids in the city. but yeah, Disney is better for this. and it’s why more people go to Orlando than anywhere else in the country.

Never underestimate the hate of the internet.

Actual quote from today’s paper:
“My whole life has been (people) saying what I can`t do. It`s seems like year in and year out I`ve been proving people wrong. Nobody gave me credit, didn`t think I`d last this long. I owe it all to Kym.”
May 25th, 2011 at 8:57 AM
How about just not going to either? That’s my plan

May 25th, 2011 at 9:00 AM
it boils down to the fact that you just don’t like Disney for some reason. nobody is going to Orlando for vacation outside of Disney or the incredible infrastructure setup for corporate conferences.
going on living here for three years running now, I’m going to have to agree with this. most of the Jersey Shore-type trash is confined to Miami. maybe some in Tampa. but that’s about it.

i don’t know, but if the kids are having a genuine blast (meaning fun w/o misbehaving), generally means the wife and I are. I try to experience things through the kids eyes. just my philosophy.

May 25th, 2011 at 9:08 AM
I agree with this in principal, but Disney isn’t that horrible as an adult. Epcot, MGM, and Universal are all highly entertaining as an adult solid. Even Disney is fun if you can get past the cheese factor.
May 25th, 2011 at 9:09 AM
you just don’t like Disney for some reason.
you nailed it. i enjoyed it the one time i was there, without kids, when they had treasure island, the milti-themed bars area, with fiance 1. was a blast, and we got shut down early by a hurricane. was 95, so whatever hurricane was in june that year

miz, how many kids did you take to dsney when you had that great time? because i’ve already stated i had a great time there, w/o kids!
for me this was a debate about taking a precious vacation, maybe the only one you get thaat year, at a place mainly for your kids. wanting to have a good, relaxing, awe-inspiring, educational time yourself does not mean you don’t love your kids. it means the opposite–you want your kids to experience more than a hermetically sealed vacation

Also, I hate rollercoasters. They scare me and I get motion sickness so theme parks never did it for me.
I’d be curious what the T-Mobile girl looks like naked but she’s a case of “just because she’s on TV hot”. Her type are not particularly hard to find.

The spice factor is more similar to Indian , but it doesn’t have the heaviness that most Indian cuisine has. It’s light and fresh, like Thai food. “Looks like Thai, tastes like Indian” would be a good representation.

My Aunt has recommended there as well. Will add that to the list.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:16 AM
i wanna go to italy, damnit!
May 25th, 2011 at 10:16 AM
Yeah man. Wish I was still over there though. From Cleveland to Auburn is 815 miles. From where I live in West Texas to Auburn is over 1000 miles. I only make it back there for 1-2 games during football season. Sucks.

Favorite roundup pic ever. Oh and CP kicks Disney’s ass.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:17 AM

May 25th, 2011 at 10:18 AM
Holy crap there’s hail the size of golf balls falling on my office.

We only went to Disney once when I was a kid. After I cried because Pluto scared the shit out of me, my parents decided not to return. We went on a lot of cruises actually. Jamaica and climbing Dunn’s River Falls is still one of the things I remember most about being a kid on vacation.
did the disney in LA as a kid. was scared shitless in the haunted house ride. also, the lady walking around as snow white;s stepmom still haunts me.
sngle guys and gals, here’s my karma advice: while life/happiness does not end when you have kids, especially multiple, you need to vacation/visit/do as much bucket list stuff as you can, even if it means racking up some debt. you will then never say ‘i am trapped’ when you are married with kids. i rang up plenty o debt as a single guy and no regrets. whitewater and open water kayaking, backpacking in wind river range, costa rica and mexico for two weeks apiece in alanguage immersion course, cross country road trips to florida, colorado, LA
i may be poor, but i’m rich in experience and memories

maybe if low seven figures bankrolls it and sends us over in his g-4.

Though being anywhere near Aubrun/Opelika is akin to having your fingernails ripped off one by one.
/god that city and “school” is a hell hole.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:23 AM
I thought I was gonna die going up Dunns River Falls, no joke
May 25th, 2011 at 10:26 AM
i have a tshirt from dunn’s river falls!

I want to spend time in Florence. I’ve been to Venice (meh) and Milan. Rome is something I want to see as well. Barcelona is atop my European bucket list, though. The fact that I will never get to eat at El Bulli is depressing, though, as it has closed and will re-open as a cooking academy of sorts.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:27 AM
The internet would have to win for this to happen.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:28 AM
aw shit, that’s fucking crazy. really puts into perspective how huge texas is.
the old joke…texan says to brit ‘our state is so big it takes a day by train to get from one side to the other’
brit says, ‘we have trains like that too’
May 25th, 2011 at 10:28 AM
never been to italy. would like to hit paris first. maybe spain 2nd
May 25th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
Space Mountain was my first roller coaster when I was like 7 or 8. Back then two people rode in the seat, so I was with my dad. He had to take off his glasses so he couldn’t see crap. As soon as it started I freaked and was wanting to get off. He told me to scream. Made me feel so much better. I always have a soft spot for that ride.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
i wanna go to italy, damnit!
My brother spent a year in Italy playing hockey (Cortina, northern Italy), wish I would have had the opportunity to go visit. He loved it there.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:32 AM
Spain is fun. Spent 2 weeks over there as a teenager when I actually knew the language pretty well. Toledo and Sevilla were my two favorites. Madrid smells like a giant cigarette. Barcelona was pretty cool, saw a bullfight.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:34 AM
I’ve read several people who say Spain is the new epicenter of cooking, surpassing France. Paris is great, but you need to know where to go and what to avoid, specifically for dining out. Everything looks the same, so figuring out what is good and what isn’t can be a real bitch. If you do go, you should absolutely rent a car and drive to Normandy and then hit up Mont St-Michel.

I wish Greece wasn’t so crazy right now. I’m dying to go back.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:38 AM
Wife and I did our honeymoon there. Loved it. Rhodes and Mykonos were awesome, but the best place we went was actually Dubrovnik, Croatia.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:40 AM
The correct answer is HAWAII…
May 25th, 2011 at 10:40 AM
And for a cheap $1,400 a day you can stay at the Chateau St-Ours.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:41 AM
Yeah can’t wait to go there in less than two weeks
May 25th, 2011 at 10:42 AM
My grandmother was born and raised in Greece and moved back there after my grandfather died. We spent two summers there when I was young. Haven’t been there since I was 10 but I have a ton of vivid memories of the trips. We spent time in my great grandmother’s village in the mountains. It was beautiful.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:58 AM
All this talk of vacations and nobody has mentioned Australia or New Zealand? Really?
May 25th, 2011 at 11:16 AM
Yeah I know, charming college towns surrounded by awesome golf courses suck ass. I would try and say something about Athens but I’m not an irrational dick and can recognize a good time when I see it.
