Elitches!

Thanks to some nice friends we were able to go to Elitches.
I had almost forgotten how much fun it is to be jolted around and dizzified.



The first attraction for pictures.
For some reason most of the employees had some sort of black breathing device that they would also speak into.



Here, Ben, Beth, and Joe get ready to get very cold and wet. splash.
In her hypodermic state, Beth, begins to retell the story of "when it was warm"

Ben, also being hypodermic, retells the story of the time he went on shipwreck falls. Unbeknownst to him, the story he was recalling was of the last few minutes. After screaming "No" 50 times, everyone leaves Steve and rides the spider without him.

Steve, pictured here, is saddened upon realizing the error of his ways.

Upon crossing the yellow line, we were all promptly escorted out of the queue line and permanently removed from the park... Oh wait.. No we weren't, we got on the ride and rode.
Another employee with a breathing device. I didn't think anyone could sound exactly like the McDonalds drive-thru speaker but he did. He must have had a job there or something.

To make Steve feel better about getting sick on every ride, some people pretend to be sick after going 23 times consecutively on the tilt-a-whirl.



yeah!

PICTURES!

Well, I'm sure that I have all kinds of excuses why this took me so long,
but all I can say is sorry for the delay..

Apparently there is a much better and bulkier album that Matthew has put together, all with pictures from his camera, but because he was in the wedding party, the pictures were taken by many different people. (I know too much explanation)

Please See Them Here!

These are the pictures from the entire trip, from day one to day eight.
All 296 of em.

I hope you enjoy!

Overdue Post

Well, with the trip coming up, we have been a little bit busy.

Both Beth and I bought burdensome flash memory. Beth looks at it, and ponders, “I wonder how many picture I can fit on 8GB?”

Next I’ve been riding my motorcycle (Big Blundering Blue Ole’ Bertha) around a lot more, and I’m really liking the cost of fuel.

So much so, that I decided to ride up Lookout Mtn. for fun.

Next on the list of stuff was working on the van. This was not an easy task because it’s a Dodge.

More fun, was rebuilding the carburetor of Bertha. She got sick of me making her take me everywhere, and so she died. The Carbs however, didn’t want to be repaired and broke. I had to buy a new set at a junkyard.

Once the seat is off, all the guts are available to rip out.

Guts.

Well, that’s it for now, so I’ll end with a really bad joke.

Q. Where is a pirates favorite place to eat?

A. ARRRRRRRBY’S

Mayday, as seen by Mr. Nut. the nutcracker

Well, We woke around 2 am with a start! Our bin was suddenly lifted out of the garage, we were taken to the kitchen. We all knew this day would come, some hoped for it but for others, it was the most dreaded night of their lives.

We were lifted up, and something that was really sticky was placed on our feet, and we were then placed back into the bin. We were carried out to the car, and then placed in the back seat.

The journey wasn't long, and before we knew it we were being lifted out of the bin again. John and Sam were the first to go, we cried our "good bye's" wondering if we'd ever see them again. I watched as they were ruthlessly placed on posts of a gate, and left there, out in the cold. I could see their gaze grow cold, and their jaws drop when they realized that they were going to be left behind.

We rode a little further when Frank and Bill got snatched out. They screamed to us for help, but we could do little to help them. They were carried to the steps of a giant house then Bill was placed on a brick post by a light, as Frank was carried closer to the door. The rest of us sighed a sigh of relief knowing that we were safe a little longer, but we didn't have a clue what was going to happen to us.

The car started moving again. About twenty minutes later we stopped. All of us felt the knots in our throats when they lifted up the whole bin, and took us out of the car! Sal got dropped on the way out, and we heard him shrieking something about his legs coming off! Next went Jordan, then Darrel, then Joe, then Daniel, and then Sean! There were too many names to remember!

Finally, Vinnie and I were the only ones left, so I scrunched down in the corner hoping not to be taken, I figured I wouldn't be taken anyway, for I was missing an arm since the war. The hand came in, and scooped up Vinnie! He yelled to me, "Don't ever forget me!" I said "NEVER!", then he was gone. All alone in the bin, when suddenly the hand came in again, the warmth of the fingers clasping my leg was the last warmth I felt that night. I was placed on a fence post, and left for dead.

Will we ever find out what happened to Mr. Nut? Tune in next time! When "Adventures In mayday" continues.
