my........legs.........hurt.........

CP and GD: Congratulations on winning first! It's exhausting just reading your play-by-play account! Ingenious shirts as always! :snap:

Also, congratulations to all the other winners and participants, too! :)

Congrats to all the winners :snap: :snap:

I finally got home this morning around 3am, took a little nap then it was off to work. I can't walk anymore, my whole body hurts.

CP & GD you guys always have great shirts. NA, €, Steph and no longer posting I loved your bright orange hats and your cargo pants( Kim Possible)

Thanks to Zap and his crazy shirts everyone in the park was staring at our team. :snap: :snap:

It was good to see everyone again :D See you in July for the 50th.

Best Mouse Adventure Ever!

But oh how sore I still am.

Lisa already caught some of our highlights, but hear are a few of my favorites:

• Asking early on if there were any penaltiess for guessing - there weren't, other than you couldn'e go down the list eliminating every possibility. That saved us on the collage, once we narrowed it down.
• Not thinking outside the box on the locker quest - should have though to shift the digits a space. Instead, we "assumed" the first number was left intentionally blank and that the bank had to end in "zero." Yup we took a hit on that one, but managed to miss the first cut-off, probably the last to do so.
• Getting to the Hojo's and back. I kept insisting we take one of the cabs outside the park over. I got vetoed, but I still think I should have sold this stratagy more. It was nice that we could use trivia here, we basicly walked in and walked out passing all the folks doing the word search. Steph's knowledge of Mara enabled her to translate as we walked down Harbor blvd.
• The Gear, so much fun to outfit our spy kits which this year included:
  • Handcuffs, keys missing (actaully originally purchased in Disnyland's magic shop sometime in the 70s - my team mates thought I'd never get them in the park. But I did). But not having keys, we knew we could only use them once unless ubergeek was around.
  • Flashlights - which came in very handy in the collage quest
  • Binoculars - also played a role in the collage quest
  • French Press coffee maker with carabiner handle (plus a baggy full of Peet's) - best coffee I've ever had in the park, borrowing some hot water from the Plaza Inn
  • Safety Pins - Great for attaching unsticking number tags and having an alternative way of wearing a fry hat.
  • Medical Kit, including Advil, Bandaids, Cold medicine, and condoms. The advil sure came in handy.
  • Refracting glasses - made to ride on Pooh so much more enjoyable.

Can't wait till next year - I think my team is sold on the spy angle. There's this cool night vision gogle I want to get...

Congrats to all the survivors!! :cheers: Sounds like some of you are ready for the next 'Survivor'!!


Special swanky congrats to the Invitational first and second place finishers -- CP & GD and Ubergeek, Ralph Wiggum, Babbette and Nirvanaman! :cool: WOW -- what a super swank accomplishment! :snap: :snap:

Wow big congrats to CP & GD :snap: :cheers:!!! Loved the shirts pictures!

And congrats to all the other's here that "survived"!! :) :cheers: :snap:

You know, I don't care about anything right now - I am in TOO much PAIN, but, boy we looked cool - even if no one knew our team name. So, I'll tell you now:



God, we're a bunch of dorks! Chris is loading a really stupid pic of us as we speak. See, we still had the Lawyer thing going referencing OJ.

DORKS! But, we are fun!


And, does anyone else have muscles on the outside of the bottoms of your feet?

Ok, at this point, all I'm thinking is "Ow." I got stiffer and stiffer through the day. A jacuzzi visit made us feel a bit better for a short while. I just had a nice nap and I feel just as pained as I did this morning, if not worse. I'm moving as little as possible and using my arms to position my legs before getting up. It's really not cool. :(

GD keeps saying "is it worth it?" but my answer is that what we did to our bodies, we would have done no matter what. We would never choose to not push ourselves as long as we knew we had a chance.

Thanks for all the congrats, everyone. I'm even getting some congrats over at MP from posters that don't even know us. One post said something like "I thought the Ghoulish Delights won?" ;)

you think your sore today? its always the second day after that's the worst. :evil:
