Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

[rue]

In highschool after beer and pizza..a suddenly sick friend of mine sprayed the crowd all around the ride while I kept spinning the center wheel on the 'tilt-a-whirl'. As we got off..boy where they 'p*ssed'. We barely made it out alive. Of course..I bring it up to this day....lol

Oh wow..... :eeek:

The Pacific? Can't really blaim you. Although the nice clear water that I can see for sure there are sharks isn't a lot better... That might be bordering on TMI.

Yeah, the Pacific ocean off the San Diego shore.
A swordfish can't be a whole lot better, but nothing in the water could compare to being ripped to shreads by a hungry shark.

I'm not really worried about being killed by one, just nibbled upon...

You bunch of nancies. Fear of heights, spiders, the color green...ridiculous. I'm not afraid of anything....'cept sharks. Those things are terrifying.

Most sharks will react to "go away" from you, if they are tapped on the head. Sadly that means the risk of being close to them to do it.

It is not a kind event to ponder being eaten by any form of animal! That could be on the "what's for dinner" thread!

Thought I'd bring the Knott's Berry Farm discussion that was started in the What's For Dinner thread here. Here's another one of the new rides.

The Windseeker Ride
(also at Cedar Point and Canada's Wonderland)

Interesting ride, until it breaks down and leaves people stuck on it!

Some rides that flip people over and upside down, tend to make the ride operator a bit richer due to change and things falling out of a person's pocket.

Then if that doesn't work, you can poke them in the eye with your bloody stump :lol:

Hi

I've only been close to being sick on ONE RIDE in my whole life, but in the interests of full disclosure, I haven't been to an amusement park in more than 10 years. Imagine one of these (see link below) but the center spindle is high enough for the four car wheels to swing out so that you rotate vertically. I had to stare really hard at my feet.

I haven't even seen another one of those again. I did go to Worlds of Fun in KC and rode all of their roller-coasters and was fine a few years later.

Later

Back when Hunt-Wesson used to be in Fullerton I used to see the semi-trucks full of tomatoes heading up Brookhurst Street to the plant.

Full of worms, crickets, caterpillars........

 

[jamespowers]

Or their eggs! bleh! I knew somebody that used to pour a ton of ketchup on their eggs! Just watching it made me nauseous!

Sounds good. You get eggs with meat and vegetables at the same time.

 

[jamespowers]

I buy organic ketchup, but I'm really thinking of making my own.

Organic=more bug organs.
Make your own.

Yes, they were in those big open hopper trailers.
