Canadian Buffoon's Sweet 16 Celebration - Update 01/28 - The End

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Had a lot of gas back then, huh?

Nope...
That's more a now-a-days issue.

Remember, I'm old.

Thanks.
I have a nice lady
who comes in every
other week to tidy up.

Her name wouldn't happen to be Roz by any chance?

 

[Chrystmasangel]

Happy belated Birthday! (sorry I am a slacker and missed it!)

 

[pkondz]

Nope...
That's more a now-a-days issue.

Remember, I'm old.

Oh!
That explains the, ah, odour
down thereabouts.

Her name wouldn't happen to be Roz by any chance?

Oh! You have her too?

 

[pkondz]

Happy belated Birthday! (sorry I am a slacker and missed it!)

Sheesh.
That was soooo last month.


Kidding, of course!

Thank you!

 

[Tracy161]

I haven't hear that one
in forever and a day!

You're welcome!

We is smart!

We is. We really is.

That was my favourite part
of writing that update.

In other news... OMG you're down to LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DonnaBeeGood]

.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Oh!
That explains the, ah, odour
down thereabouts.

Given your vintage...
I suspect that the aromas down hereabouts are pretty much the same as those up thereabouts

Oh! You have her too?

Yep.
And she's always watching...

 

[pkondz]

We is. We really is.

ayup!

In other news... OMG you're down to LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huh. Wouldja look at that.
So I am!

 

[pkondz]

I prefer not to think of this as belated happy birthday, but more like extending a special birthday occasion, so...

Thanks Donna!
Appreciate the confetti.

 

[pkondz]

Given your vintage...
I suspect that the aromas down hereabouts are pretty much the same as those up thereabouts

Yep.
And she's always watching...

Kinda creepy, no?

 

[Terra Nova guy]

Mine are old enough that
if they drop theirs and
crack the screen...

"Are you going to live with that,
or buy a new one?"

Either way... not my problem.

My oldest is 17 now and will be 18 in March. Time for me to do the same!

Interesting you'd mention
Annie Potts... on Halloween.

Do you get the connection there?

Ghostbusters I presume...

And.... Are you???

Of course

 

[pkondz]

My oldest is 17 now and will be 18 in March. Time for me to do the same!

Right now we're subsidizing the youngest's phone.
Wonder how shocked she'll be
when she turns 18?

Ghostbusters I presume...

 

[vamassey1]

But it didn't last long because...
We were off to La La Land!

Yeah! Going somewhere exciting makes getting up so much easier.

He led our group outside onto the curb
where he took our bags
and checked us in.
We were done in less than fi

Good move. Saved yourself lots of time.

I was stumped for a second.
But only a second.
I started to grin.

"Rode any horses lately?" I asked.

I knew someone had to be sore. Sorry it was Kay.

She, of course, is not allowed
to mock me when I throw out my back.

This would be cause for grounding.

That's so not fair.

No. Not going to the bathroom.
I mean, not going straight
to the baggage carousel.

I always hit the bathroom first.

I'm oh for two here.

You're having the worst luck with this. You really needed to do some more research.

Well, looky here.
Free parking on the street.

Free is always good.

Kay collected her little jar of sand.
I told her that she had to touch the water.
"You have to touch the Pacific
on this side of the continent."

Yes, you have to touch it.

I was disappointed to not see
Jaws appear and devour one.

Wrong coast. Jaws in on the East coast.

(Get the connection?
Bonus points if you tell me if you do or not.)

I get it! Classic Beverly Hills Movie.

We went back to our car.
Tails between our legs.

This would be me too.

"Dad!" She urgently hissed. "Look!"

Kay has been in love with Wolverine for a while now.

I have to ask was this someone dressed up as Wolverine or was he shooting a scene for a movie?

Right?
Am I right?
Tell me whatcha think.
Bonus points.

Totally right.

We popped into the Roosevelt
just to say we went.
I did take a couple photos,
but none worth posting.

Bummer, I would have loved to see some of the Roosevelt.

I saw a familiar face
and said hello.
She asked me to sit for a bit
and I asked if it was okay
if Kay took a photo of us
as a keepsake.
She was very happy to accommodate.

I really enjoyed your photo montage. You both really hammed it up and had fun.

Some names I didn't recognize,
some I was quite surprised by.
Some made me sad with the knowledge
that the people who'd placed them
were no longer with us.
I suppose that's the whole point, isn't it?

I love old movies. I would really geek out to see this.

I really enjoyed looking at
the hand and foot prints.
Nostalgia... it's a real thing.

I would have leaked. So many great actors and actresses.

But aren't you excited about seeing
yet another photo of a couple of beds
and a bathtub?

Say yes.
Bonus points....

Yes I am. You room looks pretty nice.

Kay just wanted water
while I ordered a mango smoothie.

Wow! Was that good!

I love mango!

Chicken pot stickers,

and vegetable spring rolls.

Yum!

Both were good, although the
spring rolls were possibly
a touch over cooked.
Not enough to worry about, though.

I was just thinking the same thing. They look a little too crunchy.

I'd never had this before
although I'd heard about it
since Peking (now Beijing) was founded.

This looks real good. I'm sorry you were too full to truly enjoy it.

The place is really pretty at night.

Very pretty.

She'd read them, but had borrowed
from a friend.
She wanted the set
and she wanted it from here.

I've read them all too. I can understand why she would want the set. My books are an old assortment of paperback and hardback.

Yeah! Going somewhere exciting makes getting up so much easier.

Good move. Saved yourself lots of time.

More lucky than smart.

I knew someone had to be sore. Sorry it was Kay.

Not me!



She's young. She'll heal faster!

That's so not fair.

Let me check...

Nope. Totally fair.


I got to judge, mind you.

I always hit the bathroom first.

Does it hit back?

You're having the worst luck with this. You really needed to do some more research.

Who closes on a Monday?

Yes, you have to touch it.

It's a rule.

Wrong coast. Jaws in on the East coast.

You may change your mind
after the next update.

I get it! Classic Beverly Hills Movie.

I have to ask was this someone dressed up as Wolverine or was he shooting a scene for a movie?

Pretty accurate, huh?
Just someone dressed up.

Totally right.

You think so?

Bummer, I would have loved to see some of the Roosevelt.

Sorry. Guess it was just too
dark in there for my little
point and shoot camera.

I really enjoyed your photo montage. You both really hammed it up and had fun.

Thanks!

I love old movies. I would really geek out to see this.

You definitely would!
It was so cool!

I was literally walking
where some of the greats
placed their hands and feet.

I would have leaked. So many great actors and actresses.

You would have leaked?!?!?!

Yes I am. You room looks pretty nice.

Thanks!

I love mango!

Me too!
At least, frozen and pureed!

I was just thinking the same thing. They look a little too crunchy.

Still, not bad, though.

This looks real good. I'm sorry you were too full to truly enjoy it.

So....

You're saying I need a do-over?

I've read them all too. I can understand why she would want the set. My books are an old assortment of paperback and hardback.

Yes. Exactly that.

Good point!

Let me check...

Nope. Totally fair.


I got to judge, mind you.

Judge and jury.

Does it hit back?

Ha Ha!

Who closes on a Monday?

Ours is open 7 days a week.

You may change your mind
after the next update.

Foreshadowing. . . .

You would have leaked?!?!?!

Got me there. I say leaked instead of cry or weep.

So....

You're saying I need a do-over?

Oh yes. I've never had Peking Duck, but I have had duck and this one looks very tender and juicy.

 

[pkondz]

Judge and jury.

As is every parent.

Ours is open 7 days a week.

As it should!

Foreshadowing. . . .

Got me there. I say leaked instead of cry or weep.

I thought you'd peed your pants.

Oh yes. I've never had Peking Duck, but I have had duck and this one looks very tender and juicy.

It was.
Just... we were full!

 

[Princess Leia]

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late! Hope you had a great birthday!

(Get the connection?
Bonus points if you tell me if you do or not.)

Yes. Well, I didn't ask if it would fit. I asked how much it was.

Doesn't he remind you of the
Cameron Frye character
from Ferris Bueller's Day Off?

Yes looks like the photo you posted. I haven't watched Ferris Bueller's Day off but your photo made me think of the character of Clay Jensen in Thirteen Reasons Why.

After leaving the building,
we stopped in front of
the Chinese Theater to look at
the hand and footprints
immortalized there in stone.

I loved the fact you showed the old photos of them doing the hand and footprints. I really need to do this someday - visit I mean - people would be a bit puzzled by my handprints.

But aren't you excited about seeing
yet another photo of a couple of beds
and a bathtub?

Of course. I like that from your bathroom photo I can see you had good toiletries, plenty towels, an easily operated shower and a hairdryer.

The Hilton is located within
about a 5 minute walk from the park.
We ambled over.

Great location then!

Completely stuffed, we waddled
back out into CityWalk.
The place is really pretty at night.

It does look really pretty!

[pkondz]

Thank you!

Yes. Well, I didn't ask if it would fit. I asked how much it was.

Do you work on commission?
Big mistake. Huge!

Yes looks like the photo you posted. I haven't watched Ferris Bueller's Day off but your photo made me think of the character of Clay Jensen in Thirteen Reasons Why.

Hey! He does!
I haven't watched it (yet),
so had to Google.

I loved the fact you showed the old photos of them doing the hand and footprints.

I had fun doing that.

I really need to do this someday - visit I mean - people would be a bit puzzled by my handprints.

"She must be someone famous!
Get her autograph!"

Of course. I like that from your bathroom photo I can see you had good toiletries, plenty towels, an easily operated shower and a hairdryer.

And lights! Don't forget the lights!
And a mirror, too!

Great location then!

Definitely!
I'd stay again.

Kinda wishing I was giving out
random bonus points.

 

[Kiotzu]

Let me preface saying I read this about a week ago but am so busy with prepping for my trip and making sure all my homework and midterms are either completed or ready to be written.

Soon enough, we boarded our craft.
It was my first time on a Boeing 717.
I did like the 2-3 seating.

I'm jealous, I have always wanted to fly in a 717, never had the chance.

And I was right!
It's open Sundays.
But not on Mondays.

You are not having the best luck. Now I don't want any more questions about the Harley stores because I will definitely second guess myself.

Free beats nine buck.
And is a vast improvement
over twenty.
It's like $20 cheaper!


I parked right beside
this nice little path
that led back to the beach.

You just gotta keep looking. Always free parking somewhere, even if you need to park in somebodies drive way.

We strolled to the end of the pier
where we watched one person
catch a very tiny fish.

Or maybe that was the bait.
Don't think so, though.

I'm still jealous of them, bet they get some awesome catches.

Please note the mass of teenagers,
entering juuuuust in front of us.

I firmly believe this is an In-N-Out thing as when I went last time at 10:30, it was like an Archie Comic everybody was hanging out there.

No worries!
Life. It happens!

I'm jealous, I have always wanted to fly in a 717, never had the chance.

Really? Why?
Because there's so few of them?

You are not having the best luck. Now I don't want any more questions about the Harley stores because I will definitely second guess myself.

Okay... no more.

Well.... maybe one.

You just gotta keep looking. Always free parking somewhere, even if you need to park in somebodies drive way.

Sounds like the voice of
experience talking, there.

I'm still jealous of them, bet they get some awesome catches.

I really don't know!

I firmly believe this is an In-N-Out thing as when I went last time at 10:30, it was like an Archie Comic everybody was hanging out there.
