SCAEAGLES MEET 6/11 4:30 Disney Gallery
 

Posted in the Wendybeth Meet thread. So, when's the meet?

Sunday June 11th?

We'll find you Leo.

Read my sig line. :evil:

I was wondering how long it was going to take you to find what I'd posted.

I found what you posted right after you posted it, but I've been too lazy to start a thread about it. I haven't even checked my calendar to see if you'll have the pleasure of meeting me. ;)

Oh, and we'll find you.

Well, I know what days NOT to go to Disneyland...


:D Ha ha. Just kidding. I can't go anyway.

But seriously, you all should have a meet. It could be so much fun.

I figure I'd enhance my vacation experience by adding the rush of knowing I'm being hunted.

I think Leo has the advantage on us. He knows what we look like. We don't have a clue what he looks like.

Alas, I made a boo-boo and a few months ago posted a link to some pictures I was in. Those pictures have since been removed from the site. Thankfully they were at a site where you had to pay for them, so hopefully no one possesses one.

I remember that. He was wearing a tie.

Wow, I didn't take you for a person who posted photos at those types of sites. :evil:

Well, when you're in demand......

I've seen enough pics. I know what he looks like. :)

Besides, all one of us needs to do is wear an Ann Coulter shirt, then look for the guy that keeps staring at it.

I was looking at the name of the thread, and thought "Isn't he married? How Clintonesque." Alas, it was simply travel dates. Oh well.

Might be worth falling for that just to see you in an Ann Coulter shirt.

Too bad you can''t go back stage at Disneyland to see these plastered all over the place.:evil:

Hmmmm.....that is perplexing.

Note to self....
1. Shave goatee
2. Die hair
3. Don't wear white shirt and tie to DL

"If you see this man, call 1-800-FIND LEO."

LOL, Lisa, you rock! :)

Our anniversary is the 11th...I would love to spend the morning at DLR.

Leo

I'm sorry I won't be able to join the crowd and look for you. Hopefully I will have another opportunity! :-) Let me wish you a safe and happy (and stealthy) trip! Love the new avatar, that so rocks!

Donna

I would think it would be relatively easy to find out what Scaeagles looks like. He's posted where he coaches (coached?) basketball a long time ago. I'm sure they have a website with pics. Although, he may have just given vague references to where he works and his user name that I picked up on because I live in the area. Don't worry Scaeagles, I won't give it away. :p

Yes, he has posted a lot of information over the years. It is easy to find if you are a scary stalking crazy cat lady. ;)

I suggest we plan a 2:00 PM hub meet on the 11th - regardless of who shows up well celebrate just the same - and then adjurn to the AP Lounge at the Grand Cal.

Oooh! Leo can bring binoculars and spy on us from the bushes at the Plaza Inn.

:snap:

2:00? Bah. It's Look For Leo from opening on. We will distribute the photo with N.A's cell number on the back. By noon, at least 6,822 guests will have the photo. We should received the "I have him in my sites" call by 12:30!!

Don't forget the T-shirts we're having made!

Leo, you're kinda cute for a conservative! ;)

Just remember to stake out the balcony seating area for Fantasmic, folks. You'll catch him, np.


Hmmmm.....do we know any CM's that work that area?

Thanks! That was even when I was perplexed because we were losing and I couldn't come up with a way to win.

You guys really are starting to scare me. Perhaps I'll hang out the whole time in DCA - then I know you won't look for me!:)

Remember- no shade in DCA. You'll get soaked when the monsoon hits.:evil:

No, Zapppop won't look for you there. :p

Ok, so I fully expect neg mojo for this, but I think we should all respect the fact that Leo doesn't want to meet us. He is ashamed of his Disney friends and his secret life. Ya know, if his fellow consertatives found out about us he'd be kicked out of that group and his life would be over. So as amazingly cool as it would be to meet Leo and hang out with him and his not so scary right-wing self, we should just accept that fact and move on. And not stalk him. However, should he pull an Uncle Dick, all bets are off.

Hah! You have no idea what time I'll get into town on that day....and maybe I'm giving you a red herring and I am coming on different dates.:evil:

How quickly you forget... we know it will be raining when you are here. So all us locals have to do is look outside... :evil:

Awwww, Leo really wants to meet us. He's just playing opossum.

Ah, but Wendy has the unbeatable plan. It doesn't matter which day ... there's no way you are missing your Fantastically Expensive Fantasmic Balcony seats. Ha! Do we know CMs up there? NA's minions are everywhere!




And sure, I can dig that stalking Leo against his will might not be the swank thing to do.

But, well .... I think he's damn cute for a conservative :evil: ... so Uncle Dick or not, all bets are off.

Do I know Gallery CM's? HA! These are the same people who work at Disneyana. What do YOU think?

There are worse things that can happen to a person at the DLR than to be shanghaid by this group, Leo. They are very cool and knowledgable, and if you play your cards right you might get the R-rated tour, which was probably the most fun I've had at the Resort.

And you must experience at least one boat sinking. :cheers:

Wife and children will think he's bizarre. I mean more bizarre. And you know those consertatives, not wanting to subject their children to R rated things and all. :evil: :p

Can someone explain the "Uncle Dick" thing to me?

Uncle Dick, who rarely posts anymore would hide in the bushes and spy on us in the early days. He's proclaimed to have watched us from bushes around the Hub as well as the Twain using binoculars.

Sure!

What day will we be meeting at the DLR?

edit: Well, BTD blew that one.

Be sure to bring the Sunday edition of the LA Times

Thanks. At least some people around here are nice, unlike others (cough *LISA* cough).;)

How do you know I'm not nice. You've never met me! I may just bring you flowers and candy! ;)


(Don't bet on it, Mister.)

I was only referring to the fact that you didn't want to explain the Uncle Dick thing.

Didn't Uncle Dick ditch you guys once he finally introduced himself?

i will start by searching the Omnibus for a man wearing a tutu.;)

If you call suddenly leaving without so much as a fare-thee-well, then yeah.


But it was somehow different than the other, mutual ditching that went on more than a few times in those early days. Uncle Dick's were more ... well, weird is the only word that fits. One moment he was there, and the next he wasn't. Only ... you quickly realized that he wasn't there the moment before - - you only thought he was ... and the truth was that he'd been gone godknows how long.


Now ... no more tidbits for Leo. If he want's 'em, he'll have to come and get 'em.

ah yes, the "Beaver on a stick" tour.

Four people assigned to each land, two on Main St,. One on Tom Sawyer Island.

Sweep formation.

Pictures distributed to each ride operator.

A little ingenuity and we'll wrap this up in an hour.

Hey MBC - you guys are pretty organized. Wanna go to Pakistan and search for bin Laden instead?

Well, I guess someone might as well.

Coach harder!

Hee hee. If I was Leo and hadn't met all y'all in person before. I'd be pretty freaked out right about now. :D

If that means "tell them the same thing again but louder", I was already doing that.:)

And yet... he's not going away...

It takes more than this to scare off this militaristic conservative.

That'll do it, ML. :eek:

Scaeagles once told me he gets around Disneyland in jean shorts and K-Swiss shoes. (remember, Leo?):p

like a moth to a flame

Note to self: buy different clothes and shoes.

I think it would be so much more fun for LOT'ers to not gang up on him, but rather to ease up, one by one, with a "Hi, Leo" and then just walk away.

However, after about 30 times of that, Ms. Leo may develop a nervous facial tic and an intense distrust of her husband.

Good times!

What I find, humorous, or ironic about all of this...
is that really, there are a few of us, who could blend into the crowd and not stand out so that Leo sees us first.
No offense, but I dont think NA could blend in to save her life... she just makes people want to look at her. Same with ISM and Zapp, BTD, and maybe Kevy.

However... GD, CP, myself, (maybe Euro)... and a few others... we can blend right in. That's who poses the most "danger" to Leo.

I don't know about that, but I figure every article of clothing she has is encased in cat hair, so if I start sneezing uncontrollably, i'll know she's near.

And as of late, bunny hair too!

"Hi, Leo. How's the sphincter?"

Really? I figured with my most of my wardrobe comming from The Gap, Old Navy and Kohls I'd blend right in. Note to self, buy more new clothing.

LOL! It is all of that screaming "LOOK AT ME" that I do. ;)

You could, but that wont change the exuberant personality that you have. :)

Umm.. yeah... thats what I meant. ;)

No, I realize I didn't miss my calling as a private dick.

HAHAHA....

Oh, this may be one of the best threads ever... It does make me realize that at some point I need to cave and get an annual pass.

I'm glad that evil stalkers scaring me can amuse you, Blueerica.

She's really sick and twisted. She used to stalk me when I worked retail. Out of everyone I'd be concerned about her.

Hey Erica - I dunno

What do you think the chances of getting a stripper-gram sent to Disneyland are?

Just hire me. I'll do it. It'll be an experience no one will ever forget, that's for sure. :eek:

Ahhh I'm sure you would be much to expensive for me to afford. ;)

Thats right!
You gotta remember DP, us personality filled gals, we get more, much more per hour than those devoid-of-personality-bleach-blond-fake-boobed-bimbos

So true....

But ummm would you happen to know the hourly rate for any of those devoid-of-personality-bleach-blond-fake-boobed-bimbos, just for reference sake....

Lol, sad I'll miss the stalking!

Hey, Leo, for reals, why don't you want to meet everyone? Do your wife and kids not know about us? Will they leave you for having a secret family? :p

It isn't that I don't want to meet everyone. I'd love to. The family....well....not their thing. Of course my wife knows that I post here. I've told her that the vast majority here are on the left side of the political spectrum (to varying degrees) but that you're all cool and nice people, and that I like posting here because you are all intelligent and can discuss disagreements of all sorts without calling names (for the most part - everyone gets miffed sometimes). But.....meeting people from the internet? WAY out of the comfort zone of the wife and kids.

So....it's that simple. I can promise you that should I ever be there alone I would want to meet and hang out with each and every one of you. Like I said, you're all intelligent, and you're all cool.

All that aside, this thread is fun.

So, perhaps kidnapping you from your hotel room in the middle of the night so that your wife and kids don't notice is more appropriate than stalking? ;) :p

ETA: I, of course, meant kidnapping for drinks and socializing, not ransom-ish kidnapping. Kidnapping in the nice way!

That is, of course, why the hotel I am staying at is not going to be leaked!

Of course, if you asked for ransom, I would guess they would refuse to pay it.

Uh-oh. Don't give them a challenge Leo. They'll take it!

We went to a meet when we had my niece with us. It turned out just to be Kevy and Gus Gus, but she was sufficiently weirded out. (Not by Kevy and his lovely wife, just because we were meeting internet people.)

Sooooo.....solo road trip to Disneyland on Sunday, July 9, eh? Cool, I look forward to meeting you.

As if your kids would settle for anything less than the Grand Californian.

I said GRAND CALIFORNIAN, folks.

Heh heh. I told you so.

What to do with this hotel thing....if I deny that I am staying at the GC, that might make you think I am staying at the GC. Of course, knowing you aren't that stupid, denying it would most likely make you think that I truly am not staying there as you know that I know that you aren't stupid.

I sound like the Sicilian in The Princess Bride.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia. But only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line

That would be Vizzini

Aren't you supposed to laugh now and keel over dead?

ETA: I knew his name, but not the spelling. Impressive, but I would expect nothing less from you.

Already been tried, bro

But my heart will go on.

I totally understand the family not really getting this whole Internet thing.

I for one will hereby drop any further taunting and will in fact NOT be meeting you, looking for you, or stalking you now or in the future.

Have a wonderful trip.

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.


:D

The taunting is funny, actually. Thanks for the well wishes.

David and Nickolas don't get the whole "meeting" thing either...hehehe even more so now... ;)

The thing is, if you are staying at the GC - then you haven't a problem, becasue we'll likely be there at some point in the day - perhaps even after park closing - you just need to go get some ice...

You know, conservative to conservative....I get the family doesn't like the internet hook up, and with kids, I know, it is a bad example to set.

How about everyone just goes those days and does their normal meet or no meet type activities. Leo, until then, checks out the various pictures posted here and at other Mouseadventure type boards. As he sees all the people he recognizes he gives some sort of secret signal, like base coaches in baseball, showing us that he sees us.

Well then again maybe he'd be wrong and would just look like a weird guy at DL.

Ok so anyway can you just ditch the family for a secret meet? LOL!

You're a nannynannybooboohead. :p

I understand your desire for anonymity, Leo, and I respect it.

However.

The Gods of Swank must be appeased. Given our (somewhat) long and (somewhat) illustrious history as a group, any sojourn into the realm that brought us all together simply cannot go unmarked.

I propose that we put our collective, twisted little minds together and come up with a solution that will satisfy everyone but MBC (sorry, dear) and yet afford Scaeagles the last vestiges of dignity he thinks he still posseses. I think a picture- photographic evidence, if you will, of Leo partaking in some sort of Swanky moment is in order. We can either assign a mission, or leave him to his own devices, keeping in mind his conservative nature and the subsequent snooze potential that is inherant to those of that mindset, Mickeylumbo being a possible exception to that general rule. If he agrees to this mission, we agree to lurk only, without breaking his cover. Since I'm in Spokane, I can readily agree to these terms.:D

No good conservative would be caught dead holding that leftist rag. :evil:

Good lord, I forgot Kevy was a con. Okay, ML and Kevy are the exceptions.

And those who HAVE met this motley group in person are really REALLY freaked out!

Hey, I sell myself for small appliances and am the butt (get it? hahahaha!) of sphincter jokes. You think I believe I still have dignity?

I am perhaps the least boring conservative you will may might probably won't ever meet.

But that aside....put your collective liberal minds together (all together they perhaps might equal mine all by itself) and if some solution presents itself....I'll think about it.

Where the H-E-doubletoothpicks did THAT come from?!?

Good try, KB, but I thought everyone was very nice and very welcoming. I was more than a little nervous for that first meet, but I was just so impressed with each and every person I met, and felt very comfortable right away. Your bringing the dragon at our last meet was so cool- I know that must have been a pita on your part, so I really appreciated it.

KB was also kind enough to give us a lift to our hotel after we missed the last shuttle. Tori thinks he is way cool, and I agree.:cheers:

Whatever you do, don't meet that CoasterMatt dude, he and his wife are complete lunatics...

How's this for potential? Your kids go swimming, don't they? Gads, the entire point of staying on property is so's you can ditch the theme parks during the height/heat of the day and go back to your glitzy hotel for a luxurious dip in the pool.

If we're talking the Grand Cal, the pool is mere footsteps away from the Hearthstone Lounge. Howzabout you duck away from the family for half an hour and meet us for a drink?

No need to ask anyone to leave their comfort zone. Nor to remain in an assigned comfort zone.

Consider it an invite.

And, if, well, you simply can't accept - for reasons of propriety or just plain cowardice .... well, we'll just wave from down below the Fantasmic balcony and that will be the end of it.

I was thinking, or was that hoping, that a cat helped her type.

This would be a good plan, except that we're from Phoenix. My children swim every day (literally), as it is the only outdoor afternoon activity that is really possible for obvious reasons. They have no desire to swim when we're on vacation.

We find it funny when people are talking about how hot it is at DL when it's 90 in the afternoon. That's the temp here in Phoenix at midnight.

And also, that makes the assumption that we're staying at the GC. We're not.

No cowardice in not accepting that plan. I, sir, am no coward! It just wouldn't work.

Now he's trying to throw us off

Well a meet must happen, for how else will you get your LoT button?

What? I'm not sure what you're talking about......

We're just going to have to stand at the bottom of the Fantasmic balcony every night, throw buttons up there and hope he gets one.

Hey! Why didn't I get a button?

Oops.

You'll just have to come back.

I never got a button either:(

But seriously, my husband was a little apprehensive of me meeting a group of friends from the internet too. Then I explained how long we had all known each other and followed along to many different boards. He agreed as long as he had the power to say when it was time to leave. It was a nice albeit brief meeting with some of you but it was great to see you in person. I also explained to my son how long I had gotten to know all of you before meeting with you. Because of the group he now goes through rides with his arms in the air!! You influenced him into being a brave little guy!

It was Wendybeth and my first time meeting the group and we actually found each other first. It was great fun and you are all wonderful people! My husband still talks about Chris and Lisa, and GD and CP!

Last time we actually just accidentally ran into Lisa and Chris and I believe Gn2dlnd, Jim. My son thought it was cool and talked nonstop about his VMK experiences of the day with them. Sorry about that guys!

They're a great group and I hope you get a chance to meet them IRL sometime. I hope to be able to meet the rest of you sometime as well!

Not at all! Your son is great and I love hearing what he is excited about at that very moment. He's very exuberant and not shy about sharing. I love that!

Mini Golf, then.

Ovaltine!

Certainly your kids must do something besides Disneyland while on vacation.

Hey, they'll go into DCA, won't they? You won't wanna do that!



If there were a will, there'd be a way. Not only would you be able to sneak away for an hour, but you'd be able to confince your wife and kids that meeting people for the first time whom you've been conversing with on a daily basis for the past three years is not a dangerous, foolish, or odd thing to do.

Wait wait wait. I got it. Pick a restroom somewhere in DL. Pick a time. Then at least MBC and iSm can meet you. :D :evil:

As a matter fo fact, I think practically EVERYONE on this board has done this very "dangerous, foolish and odd thing" at one point and we all survived AND are better people for it.

(psst....I don't dislike DCA. I actually prefer it sometimes because....well...it's never crowded)

That aside....I'm not sure what to do. Not my desire to offend anyone (not even you ISM, surprisingly).

Perhaps I'll speak at further length with the wife. She does owe me. She's going to Hawaii with her dad next week. Hmmm.....

You think I'm brave enough to meet those two in a restroom????

OK - I've actually started to think about this now. Here's my idea, though it isn't set in stone.....

You all (or most of you) work. So Sunday would be the best day. So....

My wife and kids (well, he younger ones) will want to see the Parade of Dreams. Perhaps I can convince them to see it 315 on Sunday the 11th, and I can meet all you wonderful people while the parade is going on, and meet them at the end of the parade.

Thoughts? Is this something I should pursue?

Snicker snicker snicker. Snork. :evil:

Yes, it is. Because that is very doable. We won't even make you dress up in a tutu and dance while following the end of the parade (yes, wrong parade but the concept is funny).

Of course that is doable! Talk to the wife and see what she says and we'll meet somewhere close by - like Carnation Plaza by the bandstand perhaps?

Also, something to think about, we nice people here at LoT are REALLY GOOD about getting AND saving THE prime spot to watch Remember. You may want to take us up on that offer and see "Remember" how it is meant to be seen.

Very kind, thank you. We actually had that opportunity last summer. Sat on the curb of the main hub facing the castle. We got incredibly lucky. We were cruising the area an hour before the show looking for a spot and a lady hangs up her cell phone and says to us something like "That was my husband. He's at the hotel with two kids puking, so I'm going to go help him. Want my spot?".

Uhh....OK. Thanks!

Wow, she was gonna go help her husband puke? That's commitment...

Ralphie just looked over my shoulder and said, 'Who's Scaeagles?' He pronounced "scaeagles" like 'Scalia' or 'Scalito'. :D That's how I'm going to say it in my head from now on 'SKA-EE-GULLS'.

There are LoT buttons?

:mad:

Lucky for you, you have a visit planned. ;)


Oh, and I always say SKAEguls.

I dunno- Scaeagles has me weirded out about meeting you internet people.....Wait a second! I'm an internet person too! For that matter, so is he......

Scaeagles, you are far more likely to meet weird, unsettling people in any of the dozens of lines you'll be encountering. The Swankers are really very fun, and they know the ins and outs of the park like no one else. We weren't even thrown out of Catal, okay? I think you (and your wife) would be pleasantly surprised.

Of course, if KB is there, all bets are off.:D

The proper pronunciation is S.C.A. Eagles. But that takes too long, so think of me however you will. I've heard those, and also someone has asked me if it is pronounced "Shay-gles", or if it some sort of Irish name (?).

WB, I do not fear anyone here. Except you. Only because you think I'm evil because I got Fantasmic Balcony and you didn't. So neener.

Or even worse, if KB and CoasterMatt are there :evil:

Dang, why can't it be a meet at 4 or 5 at the Hearthstone? I have Napa Rose reservations at 5:30 on Sunday.

Well, SKAYGULLS, I no longer think you're evil. I'm sorry that you had to spend so much money on an event that will be rained out, though.:p

Likewise. I know you are evil.

And come to think of it, what if this backfires? Has anyone thought of that? What if scaygles is some kind of sadistic freak that, given a moment alone with any of us, would rip out the heart and eat it?

I'm just sayin...

I was going to suggest meeting you one at a time in my hotel room, but that would have given it away.

scaeagles is Mola Ram?!? KEWL!! So, who's Short Round?

Yeah, but remember that Disney has a restraining order against that - if one of us is in the park, it will deny entry to the other.

Sching-gles, i can help you escape the kooks and whack-jobs by manuevering backstage.

only thing is, we may run into them as they get evacuated from an attraction after sinking a ride vehicle.


(i still remember my first meet... couldn't have been a nicer bunch of kooks and whack-jobs!)

HAHAHA! Shingles. Never heard that pronunciation. Funny!

I do have one serious question about all of this....when will GD and CP return from their jaunt? If they won't be in town on the 11th, but will be later on in the week, I'd rather wait until later on in the week.

I think they were only gone for a week.

They are coming back tonight and then, :weep: Mr. Buns goes to Irvine.


If I was out of town or couldn't make it would you want to reschedule? :p

Soooooooo


3:15
Sunday, June 11
Plaza Gardens


??????????

Not set in stone yet. I will let you know soon, though.

Good. I haven't even checked my calendar yet to see if I'm available. ;)

muwahahahahaha:evil:

I'm afraid I don't understand that Irvine reference.....

The reason I am planning on that time is Chris told me you weren't available then.....:evil:

Oh, is Chris keeping my calendar now? I must have him feed me some grapes and fane me a bit later. ;)

GD and CP live in Irvine.

OH! Mr. Buns is the rabbit from the other thread. Got it. Couldn't figure out who Mr. Buns was, thus my confusion.

Well, NA does have some interesting pet names for €

Alright....here's the deal.....

My wife rightly pointed out to me that 3:15 on Sunday may not be doable if there are any delays in our getting there or with hotel check in or whatever. I wouldn't want to leave you all hanging. We figure 4:30 gives me enough wiggle room. So I'll ditch the wife and kids for a bit and come meet all of you for a half hour or so?

So....you tell me the place and I'll be there at 4:30pm on Sunday July 11. Still the Carnation Plaza? Not to sound like a complete idiot, but is that just to the west of the castle? Or is some other place better?

Um, is the date June or July???

June. As in one week from today. I've been changing my signature periodically as part of this whole game we've been playing. Apparently I even tricked myself, looking back at that last message. It is certainly June 11.

However, if that doesn't work for most, let me know. I just figured a Sunday would be easier for most than during the week. Being that today is Sunday, there haven't been many postings as to if that works for people.

No, that's fine. Heheh, I was just confused by your last post.

Ok, June 11 ... um that's next Sunday, no?


Yes!

Sorry. Rabbits are always called Buns. Or BunBuns.

OK, now that I've actually read the thread additions........

4:30 works as far as I know. Or, at least for me it works.

As far as a place - we can meet inside the park or we can meet at the AP lounge ie: Hearthstone Lounge at the Grand Cal. At least we'd have someplace to sit and chill while Leo spies on us.

Leo, it's really up to you.

Let's meet in a park - whichever park is fine, but something tells me you'd rather meet in DL. Wherever your favorite hangout is. Sheesh - you're supposed to be the experts and you leave it up to me?????

How about the courtyard in the Disney Gallery (where you'll go for the Fantasmic Balcony viewing)? Got chairs, kind of removed from the crowds, and Disney geeky?

Anywhere is fine with me. Gallery sounds cool. :)

OK. Here we go.
FIRM PLANS!!!!!

Sunday, June 11th
4:30
Disney Gallery Courtyard

Be there.

i'll bring the lube

Hey, ML - no need for lube. I'm only committed for a half hour.

Not to sound stupid.....the Disney Gallery Courtyard.....that's above the entrance to Pirates? You go up the curvy staircase?

That's the place - we'll see you there at 4:30 :cool:

Yeah, you'd better figure out where this place is before you are scheduled for your Fantasmic night! Same location. Think of it as research.

I'm holding you responsible, Lisa, to make sure everyone is there. If anyone isn't there I wish to meet, I hold you personally responsible.:)

Ruh roh. I was just informed that I have a going away party on Sunday. Hopefully it's in the evening.

Okiedokie. Now, you just need to provide me with your A-list.

And, then you can see just how guilty and responsible I don't feel when people don't show. ;)

Everyone is on the A-list! No pressure, though. Whomever can make it I would be pleased to meet.

He only needs about three minutes.

Four if he was with STC in the a.m.

I won't be able to attend this meet unless I walk from Chatsworth... :(

27 minutes is well worth it.

Why would you need to WALK?

So...ummm...I do want to know who to expect. Please make you intentions known. From earlier posts I do expect NA, Euro, and Chris. I want to know who else I will be spying on meeting Sunday.

Umm... that would be the same person (unless there is another Chris I am forgetting).

And I hope to be there.

oops - I meant NA, Euro, and MBC (I don't know how to make the funky "E" thing at the beginning of his screen name so I never know if I should refer to him as Euro or Chris). And I'm glad you're planning on it.

€ is created by using shift+alt+0128, although I often forget how to do it and just type in 'that guy'. (Tori's name for him).

I'm so glad you're meeting up, Scaeagles, and genuinely bummed that I won't be there at that time! You won't regret it- it's a bit nerve-wracking meeting everyone irl, at least for the first five seconds. Then, it's like you've known them your whole life. I'm pretty outgoing, but I was more than a little nervous the first meet. I was supposed to meet everyone at Tortilla Jo's, but when I got there the place was packed and I had no idea where everyone was. Then, I saw a very cute young man with spiky hair making obvious gestures to a nametag he was wearing....Zapppop. (Bless his heart- I was really feeling stupid by then). I had the most fun that night, and I am a fairly jaded person.:D

Have at least as much fun, Leo!

Have a great scatime! Take lots of scapictures and have lots of scafun!
:)

i remember that night. what a blast!:cheers:

Don't know if zapppop will be able to make it (if not, it's because he'll be otherwise engaged within the Resort, working at the Jazz Kitchen) ... but I will be there unless I'm attacked by hooligans on the way to Anaheim.

Note to self: Hire hooligans to attack ISM on his way to Anaheim.:evil:

Cool, does this mean that Lisa HAS to send me a plane ticket?

Oh wait, you said "wish to meet". Never mind.

You might want to come up with a different plan. He seems to already be prepared for that occurrence.

That best be a joke! I am most interested in meeting those I spar with here, of which you are certainly one. There honestly isn't one person here I wouldn't want to meet.

So hopefully Lisa will spring for it. How about it, Lisa? Can you fund Scrooge and Sac and GC and WB, too? (please note any out of town name not listed is an oversight and should not be considered as a slight)

scaeagles? Who?

You remember. 6'1", wife in Maui, 2 kids, coaches basketball, neo-con, loves Ann Coulter and Domino's Pizza...

Hmph! Hmph, I say!

3 kids, thank you. 12 (F), 6 (M), and 4 (F).

Neo-con? I am a classic conservative, thank you. Nothing "neo" about me!

But the greatest offense is your final offering.

Are you back from galcier trecking?

We is. We'll have our 400 photos sorted through and posted sometime this decade.

Oh, that's right. I forgot the 3rd kid. Sorry. :blush:

Too bad you all didn't get to go to Maui. That would have been a fun scafamily outing.

We've considered it, but only our 12 year old would really appreciate it. To the 6 and 4.....they wouldn't really appreciate it, and it's pretty expensive to fly them to Hawaii for them to not appreciate it.

I did tell my father in law that next summer I get to go with my wife and he has to stay with my kids. He didn't go for that.

We. Are. In.

Talk about anticipation - it's a meet 5 years in the making!

Ummmm, do you remember what I do for a living? You best be barking up that European -flavored tree.

I'll take a first class ticket please. A nice airline. One of those AirBuses would be cool. Or one of those planes that have the bed compartments. I'll start packing, Lisa.
:D

Have I been doing this internet thing for 5 years now???? Can't be that long.

Thinking about it, it's been 3. My son was 3 was when I got online to look at info on staying at the GC and found Mouseplanet. After lurking for a few months, I started posting.

You know, someone on our plane yesterday had a good point re: the new Airbus. Wouldn't it suck to be stuck in the middle of that thing, waiting for 800 people to pull their bags out of the overheads and get off the plane? It takes long enough on a 737!

Good point, Greg. Lisa, send the private jet.

Sure. Charles just got his pilots license.

Hey! If this is supposed to be my meet, I want the private jet.

I'll get myself to the toy store.

Ah, my mistake, I thought you were one of the originals on MP in 2001.

Three years of knowing someone without meeting them is long enough.

We will be around that day. I don't know if I can get David to stick around until 4:30 though...

Maybe I can push the Anniversary angle...

$20 Billion in development, over 4.2 Million man hours in development and testing. Somehow I'd think they might have come across this issue already.

Perhaps it has something to do with all the new gates they are building to accommodate the plane. It could even be as radical as having more than one exit.

You'd think. I didn't catch the whole conversation but it sounded like the guy knew a flight attendant that said she hates working on board those things because of the mass of people.

Poopie! I'm going to be on a plane from LAS to LAX at 4:30 on Sunday.

I'm sorry I won't be able to meet you scaeagles. :(

Hasn't it only just had its first test flight recently? If so, how then could a flight attendant hate to work on one? There haven't been any flight attendants working on one yet.

My loss, SM. Funny thing is I had always assumed you lived in Minnesota because of your fixation on a Timberwolves player - or rather former Timberwolves player.

While we were boarding planes and suchlike I posited that planes should be designed like Starspeeders (or Small World boats etc) with doors to every row so that people exit and enter in approximately 10 seconds.
</derail>

You mean current Boston Celtic.

Hmm. Well, like I said, I didn't catch the whole conversation. Probably heard it wrong.

I think that's a great idea. They should also have escape pods (like 'Fifth Element') for each row of seats so people can be launched to safety (with a parachute) if a crash is imminent.

Crud, I'm gonna miss it.

Bummer, but that's OK. Just don't expect me to read anything you post anymore.:)

Humm. I think I like that idea. How many in your party? 5? Row 45. Please move all the way down the aisle. They could watch a safety video above the doors that show them the proper way to store their bags and buckle their seat-belts.

That seems like far more openable holes than I'd like there to be in an airplane.

Aye, but there's the reason to keep your seat belt buckled ;)

Dude. Ten seconds. The current doors stay closed. Why can't more doors stay closed?

</derailImeanit>

did you assume i live in Puerto Rico because of my fixation on Ricky Martin?

or

the jungle -> Tarzan


or

Sacramento


um,

Schwarzenegger?

:giggle:

He said Schwarzenegger

:chortle:

FREE TICKET

OK. We have a Park Hopper that expires on June 15 (won a four-pack on the radio a while back and just found out my Mom can't make it this weekend).

If this can be used by someone to make the scameet on Sunday who would otherwise be unable to attend, then PM me.

FREE TICKET

Erica? She's APnessless.

So is Audra.

And if you can't get rid of it you can always hand it to someone in line. I've done that before, I think it was with Susan actually.

I believe Aud has an AP - but it is So Cal. But, I may be wrong.

I think Gn2Dlnd is missing APness (snicker) but he's usually busy Sundays.

Dude, I'm like at a 50/50 chance of making it. Between my niece's high school graduation and then my reservations at 5:30, I'm extremely tight on time. :(

It would be nice to make it to a meet. I never have gone to one. I have walked up and introduced myself to Mouseadventure teams each year, before they run off and beat us (me and my DH).

Interesting word, APenessless. If you add the word "person" after it, the sentence takes on a whole new meaning! :)

I didn't think Sac was going to be there Sunday.

Would love to meet you, but no worries. It's only a 15-20 minute wallk from the gallery to the Napa Rose, right?

I made it from the main gate to the DLH in 3.5 minutes, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm in

Cool!

Whohoo, Leo! You're bring out all sorts of newbies to join you in stalking activities.

There aren't enough places for them to all hide to spy on you guys without them at least having to meet each other.

I'll be on the Mark Twain with my binoculars at 4:00......I figure I can see if you are all too scary from there and then use the recently acquired cell phone number of NA to call and say I got a flat tire on the way.:)

Don't you owe me a PM?

Leo Schmeo. How come stinky ol' Leo gets to go to Disneyland? What about me? I have to wait until September. And even that's a maybe.

Besides, Republicans should have to pay more to get into Disneyland. They make more than the Dems...


:D

Well, that would be embarrassing having my cell phone ring when I'm 5 feet away from you in a bush spying on you. I mean, think about it!

Liberal whiner.:p

And you have never smelled me.

Progressive whiner, thank you.

I've never smelled you, but I've heard rumors.
:D :p

I am thinking about it and it's making me laugh. I'm scaring the cats.

Now, send me that PM.

I have. It isn't pretty. He smells like one would expect from a toaster whore.

Yet you keep coming back for more......

LOL :)

Where's that PM???????

Here's the irony: Audra and Tom, whom I've suckered into this gig, both have APs. I do not.

We're going to reup it, though. I'm not sure if we can do this by Sunday. I'm only working part-time now so the budget's tighter than once it was.

Heidi, why don't you take Kevy up on his offer?

The Altoids offer?

I'm so glad I haven't refilled my water yet. I like my Mac.

Yeah that. :p
No really LSPE.... the ticket offer.

You think I'm giving my cell number to the crazy cat-lady stalker extraordinaire??????

Yes, because her cell wont be fulfilled until it has them ALL!!!!!

Couldn't you (Heidi) use the ParkHopper KB offered and upgrade to an AP, thereby saving a few bucks?

You betcha.

Now.

Listen, woman, I don't even let my wife say "now" to me. The phrase around my house is "Woman, this is my foot (stomp), and it is down!".

Erm, yeah. That would teach me to read the whole thread. I PMed the KB. Now I just have to get the OAK from the FH that we can go to DL.

O.K. then!;)

Boy, is it gonna be FUN to meet you! ;)

Does she knock you out before or after she's finished laughing?

She's petite. I just stiff arm her on the forehead and I'm safe.

So, you do realise you are leaving a certain (sphincter) area a tad bit vulnerable whilst strong-arming the little lady, don't you?

Not really - it's kind of like stiff arming a little kid who just keeps swinging away but her arms aren't long enough to make contact.

I'm NOT petite. And I like to laugh.

I, however, am a petite, delicate flower. But I do love to laugh. ;)

Yes, SM, you are MUCH more petite than I am. Would you like to borrow some pajamas?

Now THERE'S a visual I didn't need!

Actually, she can't since it was a freebie ticket. It says on the ticket: "May not be refunded or exchanged toward the purchase of any other admission media."

But you may be able to talk a regular day user out of their paid ticket for same purpose.

Potential upgrade issue. Ticket was free (won). There may not be a value attached to it. Heidi still needs to come to the meet though. My foot is down :p

Teach me to read the whole thread.

She is checking with the future hubby and if she wants it, it is hers.

I suspect they will be there.

I so want to be at this meet...

I so want you to be there, CM.

Train service from Universal City through Union Station to Anaheim!

(as for getting home again, well ... that's a different story)

So, is anyone getting there earlier in the day? I may get to the park around noon.

I actually am considering going to the noon MC meet at the Hub. It's been ages. I wonder if I will know anyone?

You forgot the part of getting from Chatsworth to Union Station...

I'm not going on another Amtrak trip to Disneyland

Send me a PM if you decide to. Maybe I'll meet you there. :)

You think I'm going to acknowledge knowing you when you're carrying around a toaster at Disneyland?

Hey, if I go, should I bring a tinfoil hat? :)

I'll have mine.

Sure! You could bring pop tarts and we would be the envy of the meet. :D

Toaster or tin foil hat?

Tin foil hat.

Yes, that's usually how we identify each other - Sure you don't want us to meet your family?

I just realized that I work on Sunday :(

I don't work Sunday...

but the wheels do :(

I still haven't been on the new and improved HM. Our resident non-posting goth gave it two bats up, so I'm still hopeful.

Taxi? Bus? Hitchhiking?

I will be around from park opening on. We are planning on having lunch at ESPN Zone and then heading back to the park for a while.

I may be at the Park early, too ... if I have to get a certain someone to their shift in the morning.

This is a family trip....Home Depot gift cards only.

How's this for a plan? Kevy is allowing us to go with his tickety offer, and in turn is allowing CoasterMatt to go because we can drive him.

So, L, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Thanks for the heads up, LS, but you and Tom and CM are the least of my worries. The crazy cat-lady stalker and the appliance amigos are my main concerns.

I just want to state for the record that I REALLY want to be there...

I just dont know that I can. I'm trying to get a vehicle thats not confined to city limits, but until I do, borrowing a car for a 1/5 hour drive isnt as easy as it could be.

If I dont make it, know that truly did want to be there, and will be there in spirit. Trapped away in NA's phone. Someone, take pictures.

For some reason this thread reminded me to send in the renewal for my AP.

I'm not sure why, since renewing my AP has nothing to do with the meet discussed in this thread, but I thought I'd say thanks anyways.

1/5 of an hour is only 12 minutes. How bad can that be?

:evil:

<grumble grumble Typing without proofing... grumble grumble>
One and one half hour.. or 1.5 which I think is what I meant to type.

With only three days remaining until the fateful meeting, why are my feet getting sweaty and cold? Why do I feel the need to update my will?

Make sure you all take a lot of pictures.
:)

Because the anticipation causes far greater stress than the event itself. You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into, its wierd, its foreign, its typically frowned upon... Trust me, I've been right where you are.

All I can say... I lived. :cheers:

Yeah, right.

I'd be.

Well....I am well schooled in several self defense techniques and I am still pretty fast, so I know I can handle any physical threat presented. ;)

Well, here's the down-low on all of us here on LoT:

NotAfraid - (aka Madame Cat-astrophe) Specializes in training felines to do her bidding. Often sporting a black cat suit and knee high boots, she sometiems wears jackets made from the skins of her former lovers. She hides cats in her hairstyle for sudden unexpetced attacks on the unaware.

€uromeinke - (aka €uromonkey) This assassin specializes in Monkey Kung Fu. An ancient form of self defense that he learned visiting the Lapland regions of Scandinavia. Beware of his collection of writing implements that can also be used to conceal poison darts and acid ink.

Ghoulish Delight - (aka Bacon) This notorious man, you can tell because he sports a goatee, is a communications master. At the click of a button he can erase anything you write and delete your identity completely. Beware of those in-person encounters, with a two word command, 'Munchykin, Go!' He can command his tricky mascot to run circles around you creating confusion. Goatees...bad news, man.

Cadaverous Pallor - (aka The Librarian aka Dewey Decimation) When the horned rimmed glasses come off and the bun in her hair comes down, it's bad news, brother. Cadaverous indeed... you being the cadaver.

innerSpaceman - (aka Moder-A-Torr) He'll lock you, man. He'll lock you.

There's more, but there's no time.

You've been scawarned, scaeagles. I'm just a friendly neighborhood double spy. I'm just not all that good at being hush-hush...

Hmmm....better have backup hiding in the bushes.

Don't forget to bring condoms and lates gloves.

Dewey Decimation!:snap:

I now have visions of using sharpened bone folders as throwing weapons, but the thing is that no one except those in book repair have any clue what a bone folder is, and the joke would be entirely lost.

Can't mojo you :)

Sounds like the weapon of choice for Lorena Bobbitt.

See? Not only does no one get it, it's turned into a boner joke. :rolleyes: :p




They're used for pushing air bubbles out of tape, smoothing creases, etc.

Once you explain it it's just not funny!

Well then why did you explain it? It takes all the junior high level fun out of it!

Burnisher in the antiquiated graphic design business.

Not to worry, I'm the harmless one of the group. I pose no threat whatsoever. You can trust me. I'm the trustinator.

And similar to prison, I can offer you protection from the others if you feel threatened.

For a price.

:evil: hehehe

Yeah, I know what your price is. I still expect my small appliance, though.

See.. Thats why you're not worried.
I, on the other hand, was a WRECK.

I keep thinking of MBC scouring town trying to find a small toy toaster he can smuggle into the park.

You know, they do sell toasters in the park at the Market House...

Well, I might be a toaster whore, but I am no exhibitionist. Bringing one to the park (or purchasing one there) will do him no good.

That's what the indian village near Tom Sawyer's island is for. There is a teepee with your name on it.

Hell, there's a teepee in MbC's pants with your name on it, Leo.

Oooh la la!

MBC tattooed my name on his wee-wee? I'm flattered.

Didn't Matthew join these boards? Where is that guy?

Working, as usual. :)

Well, go pluck him off the street corner and give him a break for once.

HEY!

Use it or lose it! ;)

Boo-ya! Just checked the Anaheim forecast and it is to be mid 70s/low 60s. Beats the 107+/high 80's forecast for Phoenix for the week I just saw on the local news.

I now picture you as an older Ron Stoppable, you know. Boo-yah!

Have a great time, Leo!:cheers:

You are too funny. I mean.....REALLY funny. :)

Unfortunately, I will not be attending the scaeagles super swank society gala :(

Awww, he believes our weather reports. Isn't that cute?

:cheers:

The real question, of course, is could he just tattoo "Leo" there or "Leopold Swartzkopf Hannity O'Reilly Limbaugh Scaeagles III"? ;) :D

The latter.

:)

Well, my name is Leo Reagan Limbaugh Scaeagles, and I am an original, not "the III".

You guys really make me wish I lived closer to DL!

Great, now I have to get a touch-up. :rolleyes:

Wow, looks like I'll be around. Just look for the becon and there I'll be. :)

Ho-ho! That was the orginal name I was going to type. (Honest and for true.) But I thought, nah, he'd take it as a compliment.
:D :evil:

Thing is whenever any liberal rags on me I take it as a compliment.:)

Shouldn't you be traveling or something?

Tomorrow morning. It's only a 5.5 hour drive from Phoenix.

According to Yahoo Maps driving directions, the trip can be had in 5 hours. I say that if you can average 80 MPH, it can be done in 4-1/2.

However, I was very interested by Yahoo Maps directions. I know the route and steps 10-13 just confused the heck out of me. I know what they are trying to say, but this is just FUBAR:

Okay, so is someone taking photos of this historic meet? For those like me who can't be there :-(

Leo, you will have such fun with this group, I had a total blast my last trip. :cheers:

Exit 200A? I'm starting about 60 miles before that.

I've done it in 4.5 hours. But don't tell anyone.

See you all in...gosh, 12 hours.

We should start a poll on how many posts will be posted before I return on the evening of 6/19 (btw, not all of our trip is in Anaheim).

Wow...Just in the nick of time. The top right corner of my LoT screen reads:
Yikes! That's almost two months and an eternity since I've last visited LoT--having just traveled cross country, finished several major work projects, and some more traveling, too. But, I'm glad I FINALLY came back to the LoT today, the day of the meet. Mr. S.C.A. Eagles should be warned that there will be a paparazzi photographer (wearing a DCA cap) stalking him at the Disneyland Resort to take candid, awkward pics of him for the tabloid pages of LoT. And...he won't be able to hide inside Disney's California Adventure, either. :evil:

But seriously, I am looking forward to meeting scaeagles and seeing so many of you from LoT again. :)

For the record, I am a photographer, but anything far from being a paparazzi.

Hi, Daniel! I was wondering where you were!

:)

Hey Daniel! Welcome back!

Snicker, I visted Mice Chat yesterday for the first time in a couple of months, 61000 posts since my lats visit! :blush: I have a lot of catching up to do, but at least I read Al's reports.

Tasked with taking pics, thanks in advance!:cheers:

Oh, and BTW, where'd you go on your travels?

Well, I'm off to see what a skagles looks like. :)

:snap:

*(#$^^@#$%#@(*@#^&^^%#$^@%#4
 

Boy does my timing stink like rotten fish......I just called NA hoping to get to say hi to Leo, and dammit, I just missed him!

Bye Leo! :(

I got to say hi to Leo, if only by the power of cellphone... it sounded like everybody was having a blast - Every few seconds sounded like a burst of laughter from an old sitcom :)

We met the man.

We did not bite (anything but a corndog.)

Pictures of this action surely to come later. Everybody should PM Lisa to egg her on to post these pictures, as I believe she was the only one taking them.

He took us in stride-- and we had fun teasing him!

So nice to meet all of you in person. We were a little late so missed much of Leo but at least I finally made it to a meet. We had a great time meeting and chatting with everyone. You were all so kind and gracious.

And now I have a spy in Phoenix who know's what Leo looks like :evil:

I'm sorry I missed everyone. We were headed home at 3:15.

It was cool meeting you too KS. Your daughter (whose never I never caught) was cute! And your friends kids too.

And I gotta say; that Leo is a good looking hunk of a man!

man, am i jealous- -i would have loved to give leo **** in person and right now i bet he's watching Fantasmic and gloating about how much he's gonna gloat to me when he gets back.....



Whoops- was I thinking aloud?:rolleyes:

It sounds like it was fun- any good blackmail pictures?

i'd guess you missed him by no more than 5 seconds:(

Lisa even went running out after him, not realizng that her Bluetooth headset could only go so far without her phone ;)

It was great to meet Leo. Very cool guy who, if I didn't know he was conservative, would assume has a kind heart. Ah, just kidding. He was a good sport and couldn't have been nicer.

And right now, he is desperately trying to come up with a way to explain to his wife why a bunch of people off of the internet would bring someone a toaster. :D

And if you see a picture with me and a corndog, Lisa must have photshopped it. I would never allow myself to be a part of such a degrading, immoral picture. :rolleyes:

And katiesue, it was a pleasure to meet you. I hope you will show up for more meets. :)

Not to mention, Leo is quick, like a bunny. Lisa stood no chance of catching him.

Well, I certainly appreciate Lisa's effort in running after Leo! :cool:

From what I heard on the phone, sounds like good time was being had by all!

And there was much rejoicing.
"Yayyyyy!"
:D

Oops, not sure how "head" ended up on the censored list. All fixed now.

I thought she said "sh!t"...

Please let me be on line when Wendy finds this LOL

That's what she'd like you to think...

That was a great time. A pleasure to finally meet you Leo. I suppose I should have introduced my self as "Moonliner" rather than just using my name but I'm sure you knew anyway. Have a great time on the rest of the trip. :)
























Not for Leo to read...

You are.


(GD, you're a s h i t . Good one, though).


Think he'd part with his toaster?

I did. GD just doesn't speak French as fluently as some of us.

Oh! GD made a funny. I get it. :D

The photos are uploading at the moment, but the best one uploaded already. Here's a preview of what REALLY happened at the meet:

Who knew abuse of admin powers could be so much fun.... :evil:

LOL!!!!!


Doesn't he know that kind of **** isn't good for him?

:D

Gee, how did I know that would be the first picture to post. :)

Great picture.:snap:

If Ann Coulter were dead, she'd be rolling in her grave.

It was quite shocking when he showed up - early. Smart man knew he'd catch us off-guard. :p

He then proceeded to act nothing like a newbie to a meet and was ripping into us and rolling his eyes as easily as the rest of us. The man is much more slick than he lets on.

I think my favorite moment was when Bornieo handed him his cellphone saying "call for you." I wish I had a photo of the look on scaeagles' face when he became the recipient of his first phone whore call. Thanks for popping his cherry, Matt ;)

I wish we had more time with him but he was wonderful in the time we had - sat still for a group photo, even, right behind MBC, where he belongs. :evil:

See you next time, Leo.

It's Madison although she currently prefers Madz. You were her favorite :)

Keep the kids away from Kevy! ;)

Katiesue, it was nice meeing you, Madz and your friends. Always great to put a face to the name. :)

Having arrived later than planned to Disneyland on Sunday, the Disney Gallery was too quiet as I entered its door ... and to find its courtyard empty, too. Actually, there was not a single guest in the entire gallery area and its adjoining rooms. So, I'm sorry I missed meeting scaeagles and all of you yesterday by being late. Of all the days to forget to bring my cell phone, too! :(

Thanks for the reports and picture, so far, everyone.

I'm so sad that I was working last night... :(

sads sads sads....

So, I've uploaded my pics. But, first you get the whole background story.

Leo first mentioned he was going to Disneyland in the thread WB started for her trip. He thought we wouldn't notice. I did notice and eventually started a thread about his impending doom, er, trip (this very thread). I told him we would find him but he claimed no one knew what he looked like (but he admitted he had posted a pic of himself on a previous thread).

I went searching for the thread and the link and, what do you know, it was still a working link! I found a pic of him and purchased a nice print for future evil doings. (I SWEAR Leo brings out the worst in me!) I was in the process of doing this when I get a PM from our dear Leo. It seems he was viewing who is online and saw that I was visiting the old thread with the link to pictures. I think this is when he really started to get a bit scared. :evil:

So, we have a thread about Leo's visit, the dates, but no meet. I decide it's time to make use of that photo. I post the pic with an explaination that the pic has been posed all over backstage at Disneyland and the CMs are on the lookout for him.



Leo finially agrees to a meet and gives us a whole generous half and hour (but his family will not be meeting us!). The date is set and we all converge at the Disney Gallery for some fun.

Leo arrived early. There were about 4 of us relaxing in the courtyard when he walks in as if he owns the place. Pulls p a chiar and sits down. I knew it was him but he did take us by surprise for a second. Funny, but he knew who each of us was by site. Just WHO is the stalker here?

Mickey Lumbo and MBC were out smoking and returned shortly thereafter. The look on MBC's face when he realized his dream boat was sitting right in front of him was priceless and I'm sorry I didn't capture it on film.

Of course Leo got prizes. First, it was the picture I had purchased in a lovely Disneyland frame that ML had procured. We had all signed the back for him to remember us by. This pic captures that moment perfectly.



He then was presented with his LoT Commemorative Small Apliances (a toaster/waffel iron salt and pepper set) by MBC.



More people showed up and we had many many many laughs.

Here's the Lotly Crew:



The rest of my pics are here.

looks wayy better than my weekend. nice job folks.

Psssst... Leo!

Told you! ;) Aren't you glad you went?

Looks like we enjoyed having Leo in town.

Looks like Leo enjoyed being had.

Speaking of cute, love Borneo's new whiskers! They go very well with the Golden ears:cool:

Sac, you better watch out. Looks like ML's trying to get in Leo's lap.

NA, you are the bees knees, darling! Well done.
:)

Looks like you all had a swell time! Such a great location for a meet.

I think I need to move closer to the park. I missed a historic meet.
:)

What a great re-cap, NA!:snap:

How fun- I'm entirely envious, and only slightly placated by the thought that we will be arriving as Leo and his family leaves. We're not giving you SoCal'ers much of a break this year, eh?

Great pictures, NA- ty!!!!

I said above that Leo brings out the worst in me. I'm not kidding.

Leo's been very hush hush about the details of his trip. He did let us know what hotel he was staying in while we were at the meet but we really know little else about Leo and his family. So, when Leo announced that he had APs my evil side went into operation. I feigned disbelief until he actually showed me his AP at which time I noted his last name.

Now, I don't really care what Leo's last name is. I'm not gong to send him a toaster at his hotel of anything. But, I swear, he really brings out the sneaky evil Lisa. Too funny. And, I'm sure he's going to read this and be terrified all over again. I'm a bit scared myself. ;)

With some detective skills his last name would be easy enough to find. We know where he lives, and that he coaches for a school with Eagles for a mascot.

On some level, he KNOWS we could find him. ;)

Heh, I know exactly where the school is. It's probably 15ish miles from my house. Good thing I'm not the stalking type, Leo. :p

He's a conservative. They love being scared.:D

Great photos, I brought my camera but of course neglected to use it.

While we don't have regular Disneyland meets, when we DO have them, they usually end up being GREAT! (Remember the Pirates meet anyone?)

I'm so glad KatieSue, Madz, Gina and her kids joined us! It was great to meet you again - or however that works out.

After the meet, we rode Mansion with Jimmy Osmond then went to the Jazz Kitchen for dinner. I've decided Oyster Shooters are the best food on earth and pretty damn intoxiating! Dinner was great and dessert was amazing. Thanks for Zap for pulling the deal strings. What a bargain!

We went home after dinner - or, waddled back to our cars. I literally was so full I couldn't sit at my computer and had to lie prone with a book in bed. I need to be careful with the double chocolate bread pudding in the future. ;)

Good times. REALLY good times!

A few of us waddled back into the Park for the best free fireworks show ever ... that will only be playing for 3.5 more months. Yak. Gotsa get some prime seat viewing in ... who's coming to town next? It was very heartless of Leo to refuse our Out-of-Towner Prime Fireworks offer (which is 50% for the vistor and 50% for us, but he is a real swell guy nonetheless).


A very fun, if brief, meet. And it should be known that it was none other than Evil Lisa who stopped Evil Me from sending flowers to the Scaeagles hotel room once we purloined the surname during one of Leo's rare moments of zero gile.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I do! It was quite a treat and the topper to a terrific weekend for me!

I am very much looking forward to the Swankiest fireworks viewing available, if it can be arranged. Have we figured out what night might work best? I'm so glad I get to see these one more time before they're gone- what an incredible show!

Leo, you're very lucky everyone likes you so much. I am shocked by the level of restraint shown here.;) :evil:

Leo's a very nice guy, as we can all tell from his posting around here. I wish I knew more arch-conservatives ... if only to demonstrate the point that it's not one's opinions and worldview that makes the person, but the human spirit within. Leo is good peeps, thru and thru (as wrongheaded as he may be about, well ... most things).

Dearest Leo, my favorite republican,

I am so sorry to have missed your meet, as I ended up arriving late for my 5:30pm Napa Rose reservations. I did think of you at 4:30 and wished I could have made it to the meet. I'm glad Katiesue made it with Gina, they are both fun ladies to hang with.

I hope you had a magical visit to the southland and enjoyed meeting "the others"....errr....ummm.....the gang from the boards.

Pffft...from the looks of that picture, it would take a court order and two tow trucks to move MbC out of the way first.

Dude, I just laughed so hard 3 people came into my office to see what's up.

:snap: :snap: :snap:

Yes, that sphincter has my name on it.

Just please tell me it's not written in mustard.

It would be best not to comment further, I think.

Yes, I really enjoyed them as well. So did Matthew. :)

Anyone else notice the Yahoo! Slurp Spider is looking at sca's profile?

Hmmm.. curiouser and curiouser!

Wow, I was going to write about my adventures at the meet, but seems like everything is covered.... and then some...... and then some more.... and then probably too much.... then again, more than i need to know... then something funny. Alltogeather, kinda odd.... I guess... well, forget I said anything....Had a great time anyway....yeah.

Sorry I missed it! I had already planned a party for the same day.

Of course scaeagles might not like me anymore now that I've ditched the GOP to become a LIbertarian...

Oh, just like CP! Now you two can talk shop. Oh wait, that's librarian...
:D

Heh...actually, I'm mostly Libertarian as well.

Libertarian
Librarian
Dewey Decimation!

Too bad you weren't Liberian. Then you'd be a Libertarian Liberian Librarian.
:D

Or for that matter a lisping lesbian

Or a Libra.

could this be the last we've heard from schlingles?

has he finally realized what wack-jobs we are?

where is schleo:confused:

If I remember correctly he doesn't get home until tomorrow, Mickey.

Somehow, I'm looking forward to his homecoming. :evil:

I was a photo of that picture on his desk.
