After seeing a post for the Hoop Dee Doo Revue corn bread recipe, my family (three generations) decided that we should have a Hoop Dee Doo dinner night. Here's what we did...
 
Food
My Mom made the cornbread using the official recipe. At first she thought one pan wasn't enough for the 8 of us, but looks were deceiving and we had plenty. Mom also mixed up some butter with maple syrup. Yummy! Mom made mashed potatoes. Mom made a pot of brown beans using a family recipe (I can post it if anyone's interested, it's fairly sweet because it uses mincemeat). My sister made fried chicken (her husband wanted boneless chicken). I, being lazy and mostly unable to cook, picked up 3 racks of ribs from a local BBQ joint. (Memphis BBQ for those of you in the Toronto area.) Mom made some corn on the cob and cut it into thirds. Mom made a salad (I tried to talk her out of it, but she was going for authenticity!). My sister made the cake for strawberry shortcake, along with the strawberry topping (big bag of frozen strawberries thawed, and some mashed up a bit to make them saucier). Mom made real whipped cream. (Can you tell our Mom spoils us?) Decor
Mom made red and white checkered napkins for everyone. She thought about making a tablecloth too, but we decided napkins were enough. You might be able to buy a plastic tablecloth with that same red/white pattern. I bought 500 ml Mason jars to drink out of. (For Canadians, Canadian Tire had them on for a box of 12 for $8.) Having bought them on previous trips, we used our Mickey Mouse glow ice cubes. We had a data projector showing the full Hoop Dee Doo show from YouTube. The video is a little shaky, but we were mostly too busy eating to notice. We turned up the volume for some songs but generally just had it playing in the background. It was interesting to note that our home meal pacing was about the same as the video. When we were ready for dessert, so was the video. We joked that if anyone had to go to the bathroom, you had to go to the neighbour's house. Next Time
We plan to make this an annual tradition. Next year we're going to make sure to get straws with paper on the outside so we can blow the wrappers at each other. Washboards! Don't know how/where we'll get them. Maybe some other acceptable noisemaker substitute.  
Pictures! Forgot to get a dessert picture. Too busy eating!

Here's a YouTube video from Walker Mobility about how their scooters disassemble. http://youtu.be/CghnkftCY-4
 
My Mom has a Victory that disassembles similarly (just minor differences). Some components are pretty heavy, but both my father (73) and I (40) have managed to disassemble/put in car/remove from car/reassemble by ourselves without assistance.

I'm not entirely sure when these pictures were taken. The first two were likely ~1991, and the last two... I'd have to ask my parents.


River Country!

When is Christ returning?
"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only." Matt. 24:36
How to "Be prepared?"
First acknowledge that you sin.
"So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. " James 4:17
I am pretty sure that we can all admit, if only to ourselves, that there are times when we know the right thing to do, but do not do it.
"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." I John 1:8
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23
So, we are all sinners. What is the payment for sin?
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23
"And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment," Hebrews 9:27
The payment for sin is death. Can’t we just be good enoug, do enough good things to outweigh the bad?
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.’ Eph. 2:8-9
"For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person--though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die-- but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:6-8
So what should you do to be prepared for the return of Christ?
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, ‘Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.’ Romans 10:9-11

Oh no! Christ is coming?? He must not have got the warning about Gay Days from the last banner! He best be careful or he might get some "gay" on him.
What a bunch of dipsh*ts.
But your report is great. And I must be the most gullible person here on FF cause I believed your Florida panther and your Donald Duck drawing! :rofl2:

Here's my gem from Typhoon Lagoon!

(We didn't come close to finishing it.)

However, they have NEVER used this feature. The building and concrete settled and they can't get the modules OUT!!!
So therefore, they remodel the rooms the old fashioned way. I'm also guessing it's a lot cheaper.
