Off season too long

I live in one of the poorest counties in WV. It's not very often that I see mullets. People around here have finally got the message that mullets are way out of style.

And many people around here are just as stupid as in other parts of the country. I blame country music. ;)

"Prejudices" (for lack of a better word without all the negative connotations) - are formed by people's experiences. Even among ACErs, you'll find (gasp!) picky eaters. Any identifiable, or self-identified, group will have certain similarities among the members...that's part of what makes them "a group". Of course, as humans, the differences will likely outweigh the similarities (except in regard to their shared commonality that brought them together in the first place).

Bottom line: Since Moosh mentioned "LL" first - if you can point at yourself and laugh, THEN you can begin to do the same with/for others...

Wow.....

A thread about the off season turned into something totaly differant.

What off-season? I can be at Knotts or SFMM in 20 mins if I wanted to (but I don't).

Nya-nya-nya! ;)

I just checked---I could fly to MCO this evening for $160 one-way. That's not half bad.

I can fly there for under $100.00

Because when that happens, we no longer look at people as individuals but rather as parts of groups that we choose to create based on ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious belief, etc. Then we have to create scorecards for which group did or didn't do what, which group has or doesn't have what. Then finally, judge or prejudge people not on what they did, but on what their assigned group has done.

My biggest problem is that we all already do that (and I do mean ALL) but most of us aren't ready to admit that we do; typically the ones that have the most difficulty admitting it are the ones who benefit the most from it, both because they aren't confronted with it everyday and because there's self interest in ignoring it. The system (economic, educational, judicial, etc.) itself is slanted in a particular direction, and until we can admit it and our role in it, no amount of "tolerance" and "sensitivity" is going to mean anything.

One does not haiku
merely by adding ha ha
to the second line

Off-season too long?

Haiku is the surest sign

Months past Halloween

No off-season here
I can ride three sixty five
Nya, nya, nya, nya, nya

I don't care that there's
An offseason here, but it's
snowing now which sucks

Sunny and warm here
but rain is coming Tuesday;
Lengthens drive to work.

Moosh -- no off season
Improper haikus abound
Think that sums it up

I feel sorry for you folks with no off season, no off season means you have no opening days, and with the exception of coaster event days opening days tend to be the best days I spend in parks.

I used to feel sorry for people without "four seasons", too....until I moved to California.

I self-impose my own off season. My first visit to any park is typically the weekend of HoliWood Nights; my last visit is typically the weekend of PPP.
