Top 10 Things to do during the Offseason...

Jimmybob??? Throw one at Mike E. also. Make sure you pack it really tight so the snowball transforms to ice.

These year-round coaster riders need to be put in their place. :)

------------------
Arena football has arrived in the Windy City. Go "Chicago Rush"

Hey! Where's the angry throng telling Darth Saambe that "M:TR" is "so not funny anymore" and "way over" and such?

At least that's what happened last time I tried to use it! And mine was way more clever! ;) Sorry, Darth. ;)

------------------
A day is a drop of water in the ocean of eternity. A week is seven drops.

Peabody, we have an official snowfall accumulation of 25 inches here in PA.... but the drifts in some areas accumulate to 4+ feet of snow.

------------------
Emerging from the ashes of Eric 013...

I'm working on theme park soundtracks for Cedar Point, SFGAm, SFOT, PKI, and SFMM. All 2003 editions. Lots of techno and alternative rock. Still trying to find the perfect song that fits Top Thrill Dragster.

------------------
There is no mercy for those who ride X.

I believe that "M:TR" stands for "Moosh: The Ride" as a parody of rides such as "Batman: The Ride " and "Tomb Raider: The Ride:".

As to its origins or other infamous innuendos (or is that out-uendos?) I plea ignorance. :)

Men are like parking spaces... the good ones are all taken and the rest are handicapped or too far away.

Oh, I see how it is. See if I hit your George bills, Redman! ;)

Is there a garbage dump near Champaign to slalom, Dawn? I can't remember, but that had to be from the college stupidity/ non-sobriety years ago....

There's nothing like a woodie...

"These year-round coaster riders need to be put in their place."

My place is usually at the back of the Ghostrider or Xcelerator train. ;) Did the 'Plunge for the second time a couple of weeks ago, swimtrunks and t-shirt.

AA: I'd probably take a week in the Bahamas over a over a weekend in LA, you know what I mean? But unfortunately, I'm not taking any trips for a while... :(

Although I did spend a week in LA

Woody: No garbage dump that I'm aware of (other than the South Farms) but I'll keep you posted if I hear something different.

Funny you should bring that up, DM....I guess that would have to top my list of offseason activities.

Playette's got a little business trip to San Juan and the rest of us tagging along. While there won't be any coasters, a couple days will be at the Hyatt Regency Cerromar--you know, bobbing along the lazy river with 14 waterfalls or so.

Just stopped by to say nyeah. Oh yeah, and enjoy your coasters.

-'Playa

(jogging a mile a day with only three weeks left)

------------------
The CPlaya 100--6 days, 9 parks, 47 coasters, 2037 miles and a winner.....LoCoSuMo.

To pass the downtime, here's what I do:

1. Ride the nearest Max Flight simulator-the best! Follow-up with other simulators in the area.

2. Go to HotTrax(way, way, way faster than any other "go-carts" out there) to get my adreniline fix.

3. Plan, in great detail, every aspect of summer coaster trips.

4. Pit hotels/airlines/car rental co/against each other for best deals for summer trips.

5. Dream of riding coasters at night( but the one where I spend all day at a park, but for whatever twisted dream logic I don't get on any rides, really sucks!!)

6. Draw up plans for my own park I will build when I win the Powerball lottery.

7. Crash trains on RCT/RCT2 (whew, I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who gets a jolt out of killing park guests-thanks DS!)

8. Call in sick at work- tell them I'm going through withdrawls;) (they must think I'm a raging alcoholic by now)

9. Consider ways to make M:TR fresh again (I gotta stop smoking that stuff!)

10. Force someone with zero-tolerance for rides to watch my "World's Greatest Rollercoaster Thrills in 3-D" dvd with me (provide them a bucket)

Afterdoing all this, March 22nd (whan Oaks Park opens), gets just that much closer..

Hmm...you forgot to put "take pictures of new GCII at Celebration City." ;) Seems like that is ALL I get done -- not that that is a bad thing mind you.

Coastering begins March 10th in FLA USA. :)

Also SDC opens in early march, so coasterin' in Mighty MO is coming up quickly.

Why? Are there better coasters in the Bahamas than LA? ;)

But I hear ya. I would love a nice tropical cruise, right now.

Where is *yankee-baiting* on the list...;)

The secret to life is sincerity...once you can fake that, the rest is easy...

Be glad they were the .."clean" snowballs. Mess with us yanks again and the "yellow" frozen precipitation will be flying your way. :)

Chitown-- who says that Jimmybob has a strong arm. :)

LMAO Chi...my father warned me about the yellow snow even before Zappa did...;)
------------------
Never go unarmed into a battle of wits...;)...and you guys aren't *disarmed*...:)

Besides, I like you guys too much to throw "tainted" snow at you! :)

Glad you noticed, Chitown...I have been working out! ;)

jimmybob sez: If I see another news reporter standing in front of the salt barn telling us that yep, the plows are out, I'm going to have to throw the yellow kind-of snowball at THEM!
