so - "newbie" question - if Madonna is dating Stacy then Madonna is bi? - JenBro Jan 21, 09:45 8
- maybe Stacy is Madonna's lady booty call. I think this might be the most likely of the "ST is wrong about this one," explanations. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 09:47 4
  - Well.....most likely in this case means earth blows up tomorrow due to comet or supercaldera. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:49 1
    - it's amazing how the earth always has to blow up after these things -- nm - zork Jan 21, 09:50
  - I am pretty sure ST is not wrong here. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 09:48 1
    - yes, well most likely not, but I'm trying to be generous. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 09:49
- somehow I don't see Madonna putting up with waiting 12 hours for someone to finish their Mob Wars session. -- nm - zork Jan 21, 09:47
- okay, just glossing over the fact that you are taking this as fact. I believe Madonna has had sexual relationships with women. And yes, as far as I - Andie Jan 21, 09:47 1
  - well no - was actually questioning it being fact because of the proximity and gender points - I don't see how someone wouldn't fully expect it would - JenBro Jan 21, 09:53

    - Then you're doing it wrong. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 09:46 8

  - dude, stop making sense. you're shaking my world view. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 09:44
  - exactly this. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 21, 09:43 1
    - obviously it's not realistic to predict every variation of this sort of thing before it happens, but it's close enough to the line - znufrii Jan 21, 09:46
- Physical sexual activity involving another person - whether in person or remote - is a breach of commitment to a partner. - Mop (216 lbs) Jan 21, 09:39
- My definition of cheating is doing something that you don't want or don't tell your partner - amoxy Jan 21, 09:39 1

- I did Hong Kong Disney at Halloween. Big Nightmare Before Christmas parade. -- nm - ty97 Jan 21, 09:20

- I spent Thanksgiving once at Disneyland, but that is the only real holiday that I've been there -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 09:12
- East Village Halloween, please. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 09:08 6
  - I went to that once. It's a pale imitation of LA's. -- nm - con_carne Jan 21, 09:11 5
    - I would love to go to the LA one. The East Village one has a different flavor of weirdos, I think. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 09:13 4
      - LA's is not for the faint of heart. - con_carne Jan 21, 09:16 3
        
        I'm absolutely in, I love that stuff. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 09:17 2
        
        But there are also stages, bands playing, contests, DJs playing... -- nm - con_carne Jan 21, 09:29
        
        There are caveats, common to most huge public gatherings - con_carne Jan 21, 09:27
- I still prefer Las Vegas Halloween. - Spawn Jan 21, 09:08 6
  - West Hollywood Halloween FTW -- nm - con_carne Jan 21, 09:10
  - I can't even imagine. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 21, 09:09
  - was it an ST gathering? -- nm - JenBro Jan 21, 09:09 3
    - Nope, this predated ST Vegas gatherings. Just Amy and I. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 09:30 2
      - Coolio - did that play a part in why your wedding was in LV? -- nm - JenBro Jan 21, 09:43 1
        
        Yes an no. We had been there a few times (not up on the mountain where we actually got hitched). It was just a fun atmosphere for it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 09:46
- [deleted] 1
  - THIS -- nm - Jovian Jan 21, 09:46

Hey, I just got back from WDW/Epcot. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the FastPass thing. - Dr.Vermin Jan 21, 09:05 13
- people standing in line aren't spending money on food, photos or crappy trinkets. better to have them hoof around....nm - x Jan 21, 09:19
- what everyone else said, plus it doesn't really cost them anything either. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 09:11
- About Universal...is that an extra $30/person? And does it work for the Potter? -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 09:10 3
  - I'm wildly estimating, but IIRC it was right around there. $150 instead of a $120 ticket, or thereabouts. Yes, should work on the 3 Potter rides. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 21, 09:11 2
    - Cool...thanks. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 09:20 1
      - [deleted]
- Distribution + Greater guest satisifaction. - ty97 Jan 21, 09:09 3
  - this. with fastpass you can make lunch/dinner plans a more easily. -- nm - Remlik Jan 21, 09:24
  - Yeah, guest satisfaction is a big factor. They have surveyors out every day gauging guest attitude. - Mop (216 lbs) Jan 21, 09:23 1
    - Pissed people don't spend money. -- nm - lileve Jan 21, 09:27
- Exactly what your IM said. It gets X number of people out of the lines at their most popular rides - oblique Jan 21, 09:08
- People probably come away having had a much more positive experience = more likely to come back/refer to friends -- nm - prayformojo Jan 21, 09:07 1
  - I definitely appreciate that it acts as a tangible reward for careful scheduling of your day. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 21, 09:08
I ♥ ST! ☺ -- nm - oblique Jan 21, 09:05
ty97, re. you're stroller experience: That's very unfortunate. I wouldn't call that status quo. hasn't been my experience, anyway. -- nm - Mop (216 lbs) Jan 21, 09:04 4
- You're probably too busy running people over with your stroller to notice. - ty97 Jan 21, 09:05 3
  - We hit the Magic Kingdom once during a tropical storm. My Disney Parks tip of the day: Visit during a tropical storm. No lines! -- nm - Mop (216 lbs) Jan 21, 09:12 1
    - It was in the 40-50s when we were in Orlando. Kept the crowds pretty sparse. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 21, 09:17
  - I got a little claustrophobic after the fireworks show at Disney World last week... found myself immobile in a sea of strollers. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 21, 09:07
ty, plus, think about the midgets. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 09:04 4
- Won't someone think of the midgets?! -- nm - Mop (216 lbs) Jan 21, 09:04 3
  - I am. oh, I am. -- nm - Dingan Jan 21, 09:05 2
    - I'm beginning to picture you as Stefon on SNL's Weekend Update. - Mop (216 lbs) Jan 21, 09:11 1
      - "Roofies is the hottest club in New York. It's got midgets dressed up like fire hydrants." [nm] - Mel Profit Jan 21, 09:39
I'd love a kid-free week at North America. nm - Dignan Jan 21, 09:02 12

- I'd love a free Mexican food week in North America. - crash davis Jan 21, 09:04 10
  - Almost there, my friend...almost there. -- nm - Rick Bayless, consolidating his power Jan 21, 09:08 1
    - Rick, you can count on me to be a loyal minion. -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 09:10
  - Related: The cafeteria yesterday served Tex-Mex Turkey. Which meant Turkey with barbecue sauce on it. - ty97 Jan 21, 09:07 7
    - [deleted] 1
      - It could work if done right. There are wild turkeys in Texas - crash davis Jan 21, 09:15
    - I think most people (including Americans) get American food wrong :) -- nm - Roger More Jan 21, 09:10
    - did you go in and say "No, no, no - this is Kansas City Turkey" :) -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 09:09 3
      - a place opened in vancouver just before I left that does north carolinian barbecue. the owner still has some kind of sauce at the table because in - mafic Jan 21, 09:14 2
        
        is it a mustardy sauce? -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 09:16 1
        
        I'm guessing it's a barbecue sauce. Just like how every Chinese restaurant has sweet and sour pork no matter what regional Chinese cuisine it serves - Roger More Jan 21, 09:36
Winnie the Pooh! -- nm - amoxy Jan 21, 09:01
