Enthusiasts and Normal People

friend: Kong is way better than Medusa. It's so cool how you get to dangle your feet from the track. Its way better than Medusa.

Me (enthusiast): Do you want to get slapped?

"enough is enough"-?

The license plates on my car say "AIRTIME" and I was hoping that people other than enthusiasts might understand what it means, but it's not looking that way. So far I've been asked

1.) "Do you work for a cell phone company?"

2.) "Are you a pilot?"

Maybe I should add a bumper sticker to my car with the definition of "airtime" on it to save myself the hassle of explaning it to people all the time ;)

CRVeck, you won't bring a friend back to an amusement park because he didn't know that helices were called helices? That's pretty harsh. Not everyone has the same hobby as we do. Sure, I get frustrated when people insist they know things that they don't, but I would never get upset because someone called a zero-G roll an "upside down twist" or something. I might let them know the real name, but that's it. Anyway, a helix does look like a real wine corkscrew, so I can see where he's coming from. :)

James, it was much smoother than before! Or so I thought. I guess I have a higher tolerance for the rumble of wood coasters. ;)

OP: Millennium Force is the tallest coaster in the world!

Me: Actually, Steel Dragon at Nagashima Spaland in Japan is bigger. But in all actuality, Superman: The Escape is 400 feet high...

OP: Shut up geek! You dont know anything.

Me: *sigh*
