PKI Smoking Ban?

Smoke, schmoke.

Give me a basketball free park and ban the teenagers while you're at it and I'm one happy park goer!

BTW, if you're a teen offended by that, well, congrats, you're just the kind of teen I'd ban!
I'd put one of those winking, smiling faces here but not sure, let's see ;) if that did it.

Both WDW and Universal have designated smoking areas. What I found surprising is that those areas were the least crowded and most relaxing spots in the park! Keep the brats away so I can smoke in peace. Thanks. Move on.

I'm more offended/sickened by the nasty stank of some people of a hot, summer day. Personally, I hope the breathe better part will be free deoderant and hose downs for the guests coming from Kentucky and Indiana.

I'm kidding. Love the Nucky, land of a full set of 24 (or so) teeth. Kidding. Hey, at least you're not Hoosiers! Oh.

Hey, Great America opens in like 60 days! Let me season begin. *** Edited 2/28/2005 9:09:31 PM UTC by IBsteve***

I think that gets the award for the most politcally incorrect and of course, as is usually hand-in-hand, funniest post of the entire thread ;)

In many cases, things would probably be less obtrusive to non-smokers if they just had the smokers scattered along the midways.

I envision a big smokestack with fans at the top like Willy Wonka's fizzy lifting tower that recreational lung abusers could smoke under. Heck, it could double as a drop tower structure. ;)

So Gonch, not that I disagree with you or anything, but should we, by your arguments, repeal laws forbidding spitting on sidewalks or fornicating in public?

Just curious... ;)

For the record, I think we happen to have a lot of ridiculous laws on the book.

Wait, you mean that's *illegal*? Who knew?

I thought fornicating in public was legal under the 'artistic expression' laws...

Only if both parties are attractive.

In all honesty, neither of those would really bug me too much.

I've never been a 'spitter' (no swallow jokes please :) ), but so f'n what, really. I think the difference is a potential biohazard issue. It's probably not in anyone's interest to have big infectious loogies laying around for the kids to play with.

I dunno. I never knew there were any sidewalk spitting laws. (and it takes a big man to acknowledge ignorance :) ) What is the reasoning behind it?

As for fornicating in a public place; I have. :)

...and we'll leave it at that.

Edited for clarity. *** Edited 2/28/2005 9:57:55 PM UTC by Lord Gonchar***

It's like this, when you have a campfire, when the smoke blows your way do you move, or sit there in it? Burning trash, once again do you move, or stand in the smoke? a little cig smoke around is easier than dealing with a giagantic smoke cloud pouring my way.

And like Gonch said about the obnoxious drunks, you guys better just turn the other way if you see me cause that **** just straight up pisses me off.

The reasoning was probably a combination of what you mentioned and past nasty habits that were once more prevalent, say like chewing t'baccy.

I agree with everything you said (and so have I)...but wouldn't you rather quit than deal with all these weenie whiny non-smokers? ;)

I already had to kick my friend's stupid drunk ass, cause he was harrasing some food vendors at Octoberfest. Would't shut up , wouldn't stop nagging and whining about retarded crap to them, so I layed into him.

Note the people working were very pleased. a security guard came by, and asked why the scuffle? George, my friend, said literally,"I was being an asshole to them people right there and so he shut me up". Of course saying this in slurred speech. The guard just laughed at it, He realized I was sober, and he was obviously being an ass, and so he told me to make sure I keep him in line, I said "Absolutely no problem there".

I didn't make him bleed, but I layed him out for second for sure. It was just lke my god, " SHUT THE F**K UP!" I couldn't take it from him anymore. He definately doesn't drink like that anymore when he's around me.

My god, if your gonna be that drunk, just shut up and let your Head Spin. (sorry, had to go for the little inside joke there)

I guess I'd say if you see me coming towards you after I've had a few, YOU better turn the other way. Punching your friend is one thing but otherwise it's known as assault, and that crap straight pisses ME off.

I've known people who've laid out their friends for good reasons, but not for nagging and whining to food vendors at one of the biggest drinking festivals known to man. Sounds like you've got some anger management problems to deal with. I guess I'm just glad I'm not your friend.

Yes drunks can be extremely obnoxious and get out of hand. That's where public intoxication laws come into affect. Let the authorities deal with them.

^He was a friend enough to SPARE him a night in the drunk tank!

Just a thought here: Are they gonna ban smoke in Catholic churchs? that incense is the worst i've ever smelled....

---

I just went to a funeral for my Great-Grandfather a couple of days ago. My Great-Aunt got a little topsy-turney on that inscense somehow. Spewed all over an alter-boy. And who said Church can't be funny. ;)

...and also was probably friend enough to stay sober with the car keys at one of the "biggest drinking festivals" to make sure the guy got home safe...

^^Yeah that first sentence was just brilliant there IBsteve but if SF were to do that then where would they get all their annual revenue from?....both in basketball sales as well as coaster crazy teens willing to buy them.

Yup, this teen's blood is boiling in his vains. It makes me feel like spitting on a couple of sidewalks, punching out a couple of drunken friends, testing if pot really is illegal, and doing something under that art rule. Not to mention line jumping and smoking both at the same time. ;)

And that, my friends, sums up this entire thread.

Very nicely done :)

Sorry pal, but I go to the Park to have fun, not to listen to a bunch of whining crybaby drunks yap like they know what they are talking about. So, in the end, my message is just stay away from me.

And yeah, like I was gonna let my friend get carried off by authorities. He was out of control, typing words can't describe what went on properly. So keep your hands off the keyboard unless you know what's going on. It's obvious the cabin fever is getting to all of us coaster maniacs, since everyone is getting *****y over retarded crap.

The season is only a couple of months away, lets not gripe about this crap. instead, lets just say, PKI will have the smoke free enviroment, and GL will remain the same. So like I really care.

So, if you really have a problem with staying away from me if your a loud obnoxious drunken asshole, then thats just disrespecting me and my family, and when my family gets disrespected, I don't take lightly to it.

If your an obnoxious drunk, stay home, your safe from car accidents and other drunken stuper. An obnoxious drunk parading around in front of kids acting like a complete ass, is much worse than dealing with a smoker.

Lakecrystal, I believe that you are a liar. Stop trying to sound hard. Only a true puss would post something like you did.

Oh, I'm a puss? care to meet up? give me a time and place and lets see if I am.
