Americas Stupidest Public Comments

Talking to people doesn't mean inserting myself into other people's conversations uninvited. It doesn't mean trying to dazzle people with bs either.

Amen! Last year, in August, I went to 4 parks by myself (gasp!). While at PKD, I got into a nice conversation with a man and his (hot) daughter about parks and such. They thought it was interesting that I was by myself and that I was going to SFKK next day. They asked if it was my hobby, and I said yes, and we talked about it. But it was casual conversation that evolved into something else.

At SFKK, I talked to another man and his son a few times during the day, another causal conversation. As I was leaving the park, I bumped back into them, and they wished me well and such.

I was in line with 2 guys for TTD who were possible coaster geeks (not sure), and we talked. I mentioned how there was possibly going to be a larger than TTD coaster *Somewhere* on the east coast in 2005. We had a nice conversation while in line for Dragster.

I will talk about coasters with other people in line. I'm friendly, personable, and I like to talk. But I don't butt into people's conversations to correct them and what not. Or to make fun of them. A friend who used to frequent parks with me said 'My goodness, you just talk to anybody in line, don't you?'. And not even about parks, but if they're wearing a shirt or have something with them with something else I'm interested in, I'll ask them about it.

I don't wear park gear, just becuase most of it isn't what I like to wear. I have a Volcano Visor I do wear on occasion because I liked the way it looks, and I have a BORG T-Shirt, cause I'm a Trek Geek. *** Edited 12/5/2005 3:16:36 AM UTC by TeknoScorpion***

I usually get into conversations when asked about something. Otherwise I am shy and mind my own business and don't reek "enthusiass" like I have seen too many times before. I don't "correct" people when they state something that's incorrect. I usually just laugh at them (like my experience with the kids and Face Off when one of them asked the other "Why don't they add a second train?)

If people inquire about coasters or coaster clubs I am more than happy to promote them, but otherwise I am just there to ride. :-P

ROTFLMAO! I agree, Danny. :-P

I have been immortalized on ARN&R indirectly and directly several times. It's all good. Those guys put a smile on my face everyday with their sick humor. :-)

They rock!
