Flashback!

My scanning project is so much fun. I was just working on a box of stuff from my freshman year of high school (those essays are so cringeworthy!) and jumped to a box from 2003-2004. It's amazing how long ago that is now.

Most of what I keep is honestly crap...but once in a while there's a fun gem to share.

Teacups and swankers in the news.

We are such awesomeness. :D

Coolest article ever. I forgot that Isaac and Chris got their quotes in big font. Awesomeness.

Awesome find!

The best part was Chris going into the office the next day and his boss addressing him as Master Teacup Spinner.

You know - I never saw the print version of that. So when Lisa showed me the quote I thought it was a photoshop job. Now I'm just giggling to myself again.

Wow - totally forgot about that article, though I remember that night marching over to City Hall.

I remember almost breaking my wrists with iSm and Isaac when we piled into a teacup trying to make it turn. Good times.

I wonder whatever happened to my "better than botox" video.

Awesome! I never saw the print version either.

However I do still have the initial response from the Times reporter after I emailed them about this travesty:

Quote:

We received your e-mail about the teacups at Disneyland. Do you have a number where we can reach you? We just want to interview some fans. I'm also reachable at (714) 966-5890.

Thanks,

Staff Writer

I glad some of you were able to help her. She was somewhat annoyed to find out I lived 2,000 miles away and had not been to the park in ages... :D

I met all of you people that night. Or, well, most.

So, did they ever fix the teacups?

No one ever rode them again. ;)

Didn't they take them out and set up a Princess tea party experience?

If it happened today the headline would read:

Lounge of Tomorrow Teabags Tea Cups

:D

What's with the teabag thing lately? Did I miss a memo?

My own celeb status came later.

It was my come back after the gold pants incident - or maybe that was my comeback...

I have withdrawn from the spotlight, though my adoring public always craves more.

My only solace is in my Palm Springs retreat, far from the glare of Anaheim.

Don't the constant string of hang gliders flying by ever bother you?

Only when they don't focus the camera properly

They are fun to hit golf balls at.
