Like I said…what do you want me to call you? “You nice guy, you?” That doesn’t have quite the same ring. Maybe loon? Definitely not boob…Damn…I can’t think of one. And yes, I know you are a nice guy, but come on, I was being goofy. Just like you were being. 
Alright, alright, alright, I’ll be nice. We’re still cool, right, dlgirl? Here, let me jump back into the fray and keep this thread alive. Besides, you know you like having your ego stroked.
So, that was a ‘no’ on the vibrator, right?
KIDDING!
Okay, seriously… do you have a season pass to disneyland? If so, what level? How many times do you go a year? Do you usually have a routine when you go? (i.e. rush to space mountain first, then autopia, star tours, etc.) Do you go with friends? Or with family? Have you ever gone there on a date? Have you been to Downtown Disney? What do you think?
Oh dear . . . that cannot be a good thing. Lewdness works so well with most dopers:)
[sub]Maybe if I changed my approach . . . [/sub]
Hmmm… sex or Disney seem to be the options here.
I keep thinking there’d be some value in exploring… geeze, I dunno, other parts of your life, how you feel about the world at large… that sort of thing.
I used to ask anyone I was getting to know whether they felt Ilsa should have gone with Victor or stayed with Rick. That way, if they had an opinion, it would lead to a good conversation about love and integrity, and if they looked at me blankly, I’d know I needed to rent Casablanca and watch it with them.
But maybe Disney offers us similar opportunities.
Aladdin had at least two chances to “come clean” to Jasmine – right at the beginning of talking to her, when the Genie told him to Bee truthful… and later, on the roof, when she tricked him by saying Abu would like it there. Each time, he stuck to his phony prince story. Ultimately, of course, Jafar exposed his lie.
Should Jasmine have forgiven him? Admittedly, he did a lot to rescue her and her father after that… but I could argue that he’d shown an alarming tendancy to lie when it suited him…
So - was Aladdin’s deception, just to “get the girl,” something understandable?

Vandal…we are still cool. Just don’t try it again…
I do not have a season pass because 1) they are expensive, 2) I don’t live close enough to make it useful, and 3) um…there is no three, but maybe I should just say Hi, Opal! I go about once a year, twice if I am lucky, for about 5 days. Yes, the pass might be good when I do this, but do I really want to wait in that line?
You want to know the routine? Let me see, it is usually my sis, nephew and me. If there are anymore than us, then we get their input, but this is how it usually goes. First we go to the Blue Ribbon Bakery for a Really Sticky Sticky Bun and whatever drink we want (I get milk while my sis gets a latte). Then we proceed to Indy, Pirates, Mansion, Splash, and then whatever we feel like. So basically we start in Adventureland and end up in Tomorrowland. A nice circle. Oh, and for lunch we go to the corn dog cart on Main St. But not everyday. One day we go to the Village Haus…another I might go to Bengal Barbeque. It all depends on everyone’s mood.
Who do I go with? Well, mostly with family because it is usually a vacation. I have family out in So Cal and I could bring friends, but it isn’t really good to ignore my family. I have gone along with a close friend, and would go again with them. But then again, I have taken one friend and that turned into a mess. Not fun at all.
I have never been on a date, so I couldn’t have gone on a date to DL. Sad, but true. Hopefully I will be able to go one day. Maybe even have a wedding there. But maybe not. I have so many ideas for weddings, it is crazy.
I have not been to Downtown Disney yet. I really want to when I get a chance. I want to go there more than going to Disney’s California Adventure (DCA). DTD sounds like so much fun. I hope its more fun than the one in FL, though, because I didn’t like that one much. But if I would’ve had my friends it probably would have been more fun. Not fun with family. :sigh: Oh, well.
Punha, you can be however you want…As long as you don’t go too overboard.
Bricker…you are so lucky you didn’t ask me about the Casablanca thing…I haven’t seen it yet. Hey, don’t hit me with those!
Not just to get the girl. He also wanted all the stuff to go along with her. I never really liked him. So, no I don’t think all the deception was understandable. (Short and sweet, wasn’t it?)
I’m not sure I agree. Before he knew Jasmine, yes – he wanted the trappings of wealth. But when he met her, I think he was much more focused on getting her, not on anything else.
But – are you saying that, if you were in Jasmine’s shoes, you wouldn’t have forgiven him?
Oddly enough (although perhaps you, of all people, might get this) I find some surprisingly profound moral lessons and philosophical points in Disney flicks. For example, when Simba is inn self-imposed exile, and Rafiki finds him, Simba says something about how it doesn’t do any good to talk about the issue; it’s in the past. Rafiki smacks Simba with his walking stick. When Simba complains, Rafiki tells him blandly, “Why are you getting upset? It’s in the past.”
I always thought that was a brilliant illustration of the falsity of the “it’s in the past” mantra.
Any epiphinal moments you’ve had from Disney films? Or from any films?

PS - Like you, my wife is a big Disney fan… so much so that she talked me into stopping there for a day during our Florida honeymoon. While I had always liked Disney movies, I was never a fan of Mickey Mouse and the whole “Disney experience” – until the laser show that night. I am now a complete convert. 
Well, I’m just sitting here and worrying and drinking and waiting for a phone call, and need to distract myself. So I’m going to ask a question:
Which is your favorite Spice Girl? Mine is Ginger, aka Geri Haliwell. Well, then Fierra and I saw a “behind the scenes” interview of her with last April in London, and I was a little put off by her really strong Southern accent (Southern UK). She seemed almost…Cockney? She definitely was not acting as sophisticated as I thought…well, I suppose relative to Baby, Posh, Scary, and Sporty she might have been. Anyhow…do you have a favorite Spice Girl, or would you rather they all went the way of ABBA?
[sub]I’m not drunk, really…I think.[/sub]
I would rather they all go away like ABBA. Never liked the Spice Girls. Blech. Trash. Sowwy if that was offensive.
Naw…no offence taken. But I will put on “Mi Chico Latino” by Ginger Spice right now on my MP3 player, in your honor. 
Bricker, you asked
I seriously can’t think of anything at this point. I am sure something has snuck into this teeny brain of mine, but nothing has really said, “Look here, doofus, this is what life is saying.” At least, this is what my brain is still telling me.
Here’s another one. What art or artists do you like? (in terms of painting, or movements of painters, etc) My favorites are pre-raphellites (like Alma-Tadema) and surrealists (Dali, Bosch, Magritte). Also, I don’t know what category Parrish fits into, but I love his work.
Just for a really pointless question, I noted your location from your profile, and so, I must ask your opinion on this:
Does it really matter that it’s a dry heat?
I find 115 degrees Fahrenheit to be really hot no matter how humid it is.
lel
I don’t know…Hmmm…I like Michaelangelo’s work and Raphael’s, but that doesn’t mean that I necessarily like that period. (What was that period?) I see a picture and either like it or hate it. No inbetween. Well, maybe an inbetween, but I haven’t found one of those yet. Anyway, I can’t really choose a period I like. Did any of that make sense? I am kinda tired and can’t put together sentences correctly anymore. Bleh. (I like that word…bleh, bleh, bleh…)
Okay, lel, I would rather be in 115 F heat that has no humidity than the same temp with 70 percent humidity. In the heat with the humidity, the water is literally sucked out of you. When I was in Florida, I thought I was going to die, and the temp was less there than it was here. Water was definitely my friend. Hrmmm…I don’t know. I guess I am just not used to humidity. Of course, here when the wind blows at 115 degrees you think you are in an oven and hope your skin doesn’t shrivel up and fall off.
Whoa, you’ve never been on a date? I’d like to explore this a little further, if you don’t mind, of course.
Now, when you say you’ve never been on a date, I take this to mean that you and another man (I’m assuming you’re hetero), have not been out together. “Out” meaning he picks you up (or, you him), the two of you go somewhere, and the two of you spend time together with some kind of agenda.
Am I right?
If I am, two possible reasons immediately come to mind. One, you are extremely picky, and have declined every offer a man has given you. Or, two, you simply have never been asked out (or maybe you have, however you didn’t pick up on it due to your self-proclaimed naiveness).
Enlighten me, dlgirl, please. Tell me why you have never been on a date.
I can tell you this much with supreme certainty, vandal: dlgirl is not picky:D
Very good, vandal, you have described a date…no reward though. Sorry. Oh, and yes, I am hetero.
I am not picky, as Punha has pointed out. If a suitable man (don’t know 'til I see him, so don’t quite know the specifications) came along and asked me out, then I would say, “Sure”. No one has ever asked me out IRL. At least I don’t think so. If a guy has asked me out, and he was subtle about it, then that was his own damn fault. I am not a mind reader. :rolleyes:
