caveat lector

Definitely more! Subject matter is tough. You appear to really think "outside the box."

How 'about a pictorial essay of unusual campsite nuances. Stuff that some folks do, that the rest haven't caught up to yet. Low hanging fruit would be something like, "duct tape and it's million uses around the campsite/camper."

"Turtle watching" sounds like a nice relaxing way to while the day away at the FORT. Jealous...yes indeed.

Great advice. Thanks.

Yep. Kenny's the man. A couple of weeks cost right around $400. A heck of a deal and a real nice product.

American Express has a REBATE card. You build up points, then can use them to pay off your monthly bill (or at least a part of it). :rofl2:

Wow! How did I miss this TR. The "It's a cold day at the Magic Kingdom" is kind of a cool spin on SOP.

Thanks for the great PICs

In an attempt to add content I thought I'd do a TR.  I know there is already one Christmas TR up... but more never hurts..right?

Not only does it not hurt, but it is downright helpful. Sorry about that clumsy sentence structure, but you get the point. As someone who is planning a Christmas visit to the FORT, my excitement is laced with a considerable amount of trepidation. While I know crowds are going to be ridiculous, your pictures showed there will still be enough real estate to have some relaxed fun.

Thanks for the great work!

I've followed your stuff on another site in the past, and am very excited to see you've made the transition over. Your attention to detail and unusal perspective make it very entertaining for the reader.

My favorite so far...well, it's a toss up. I like the shot inside the windmill and the one titled mother nature's clothelines. Not sure why, but I like them the best.

Nice work!

Wow, this is rapid reporting. So fast that the pictures aren't even dry (reference for those that remember having to wave the instant polaroid pictures around after the camera spit them out).

How fortuitous that the camera malfunctioned while at Star Tours.

Great pics as always. Thanks!

Simply put...Yuuuuummmmmmmmmm!

Rock on.....another acronym added to Fort Fiends party.....Welcome WDI......you come up with some really cool stuff.

Your pictures are absolutely fantastic. My favorites are the nighttime pics at the fort. Kind of neat to see the buildings in the evening, it's almost surreal.

However, your topiary pictures are so life like, i felt myself reaching for the claritinD. :rofl2:

Yep... I've heard that you can get flushed on the other site just for joining here.

Welcome! Can't wait for the pictures!

:popcorn:

Is that better or worse than getting a swirley? :rofl2:

Ooops. I guess my memory had faded a bit. But I like the visual. :)

CORN-HOLE!!!! CORN-HOLE!!!! CORN-HOLE!!!! CORN-HOLE!!!! CORN-HOLE!!!!

Sounds like the popular refrain from Beavis and Butthead cartoon. Or at least something close. :rofl2:

Well, now, would I be welcome here?

Come on in....the water's fine.

Continuing on my patrol, I was surprised to find that their were new occupants in site 617. There were quite a few open premium sites all over the Fort, but these campers were lucky enough to be assigned to 617. This site is rarely empty:

I starting to think that there might be something a little more nefarious (sp?) going on here. Possibly, folks are targeting 617 as their one chance to gain fame in a TCD TR. Ingenious when you really think about it. :wiz:

Outstanding work!!!! You are definitely helping me (and probably others) to bridge the gap to my next visit.

mucha gracias

Have fun. Go 99 and RFR!

I'm a Carl fan as well. But I'll be watching the 18 and 29. Should be some good fireworks :suspense:

..... There is another show I've seen a couple of times on another channel where the pawn shop is in Detroit. That show is not nearly as entertaining. But, I figure the Detroit pawn shop is more like a real pawn shop than the one in Pawn Stars.

TCD

Yep, I watch that one too. Hard core pawn. I often wonder if any of those customers see themselves on TV and are embarassed. Several have to come from the shallow end of the gene pool. :rofl2:

I get a kick out of the Old Man. It's surprising, but not really I guess, how much him & Rick know about history in general. They get some pretty serious historical items coming through there.

I find the show to be educational as well as fun.

Outstanding show! Rick seems to know a little about everything! His breadth of knowledge is astounding. Just wonder how much is done via internet and editing. If none, it's even more impressive.

Lions guarding the gate...

Do you know how to tell which is the female lion and which is the male lion?

Ah come on, nobody is going to make any snarky comments like, "It's easy, the one that will ask for directions........"

Seriously, your pictures are fantastic. Nice work.

Cool pic of the bat box. I've heard those things consume an incredible amount of insects.

OK TCD...back to regular programming. Sorry for the hijack. :)

Church Keys were used to open beer. So the name was a backhanded snarky comment on morals ...

Meanwhile, I still have a church key - how else to make a Beer Can Chicken?

Not that I have ever consumed alcohol myself :rofl2: (haha), but I might be able to offer some insight. I say "might" because I'm not sure if my memory is referencing a documentary from the History channel, or some guy telling me a story at a bar.

In addition to the Egyptians, monks were one of the first brewers of beer. They carried a "church key" on the corded belt around their waist. In addition, I've been told that the corded belt is actually represented on the original cans of Budweiser. Specifically, inside the dark blue ring, above the word Budweiser. It kind of looks like a horse collar, but I've been told it was a homage to the original brewing monks.

As mentioned above, this maybe total fabrication.

Discuss amongst yourselves...why do you park on the driveway and drive on the parkway? :parrot:
