You guys are too funny.

Come on, Stumble, bring wife and daughter down to Disneyland and see for yourself what these Candians look like

Stumblefoot

I just saw a bunch of them in Vancouver last week. Quite frankly, I don't know how they do it up there. Living in Vancouver makes Denver seem down right cheap. For $1,200 sq. ft. you can have a nice little ground floor condo in a 20 story building. Can you imagine how much per sq. ft. it costs above the 10th floor?

I kid you not... we ate a great Chinese restaurant and directly across the street, just one block off of Robson street was a new condo building that had only 5 "estates" left in the building starting at $4.85M. Where I grew up an estate came with at least 100 acres and at the price of $4.85M you could own the whole darn town!

I think they have some of these estates in Vegas too. Last I heard Trump was trying to sell some.

Brocktoon

Who threadjacked this into a real estate thread? Just think of all gas those "estate" owners are savin'! If you read the gas complainers on the OT threads in this fourm, you would think they could buy an extra one for their Barbie collections at that price, livin' downtown and all...

Back to more important matters, check out my portrait in my avitar. Don't lie and say you wouldn't hit 'dat!

Stumblefoot

Frightening!

I dare you to show up in Disneyland as your avatar

Tinkerbell would be going up the mountain instead of down the mountain...:-)

Brocktoon

Hey! no make-a'd fun Italian Spiderman!

I thought that it was the Canadian Spiderman

StevethePilot

It's pronounced "Canadjun," eh?

At least that's what my mother and sister say ... they're Canadjun, too.

LOL!

On a related note, my niece is going to a casting call to play the part of Tinkerbell and/or any other princess sometime in August. Would be funny if she were working there when Brocktoon was there visiting!

Nevada Jack

Good luck to your niece with the audition. Tell her to watch out for a Canadian Italian Spiderman...:-)

We had a great view of the mountain from our backyard in Anaheim and would watch Tinkerbell descend on a regular basis.

Stumblefoot

If she can't find the Canadian Italian Spiderman, look for a guy with a French wife.

That should be a dead give away.

Kaumajet

I have one of those, as well. They're actually very well behaved

Brocktoon

That will all end when she stumbles upon this post, dude....

Newbie_2_MB

Thanks Jack, she's wanted this for a long time but due to her health issues with her organ transplant, she hasn't been well enough. August 26 will be the one year anniversary of her transplant and she feels she's up to doing this job.

Stumblefoot

That's a beautiful picture.

Did you find all of the wildflowers out in Alberta or BC, or were they closer to home?

Brocktoon

Ok, Kaumajet here is my crew...

Kaumajet

Thank you The picture was taken in Newfoundland.

Beautiful! Your daughter looks nothing like you

oknish

THANK GOD.................

Stumblefoot

I literally said the same thing to myself before reading your comment.

However, I bet she would look good wearing the mask, unlike Brocktoon. The stache? Not so much.

Just needling you brother.

Brocktoon

Just got back from Disney, thanks for all your advice. Although we had a very good time, and the parks were close to abandoned in terms of attendance, it was not really our cup of tea. My daughter said she would rather have gone to Mexico and played on the beach, I guess she's jaded beyond her years. I thought it was O.K., but we found it too loud (music, sound effects etc. seemed to be at 90dB+) and even though there were virtually no lines, it still did not prevent queue jumpers and pushing patrons everywhere we went.

Hotel was nice with a great pool, dined at Napa Rose & Yamabuki which were both very good, as was the Neopolitan pizza joint in downtown Disney.

Some TSA lady confused my girl's socks for shoes and went nuts on her and my wife, causing my daughter to go into a hystrical fit of fear prior to our flight, and now I have come down with some sort of foreign snotty kid's cold, which is all just icing on the cake...but hey, you never know 'till you try, right?

Stumblefoot

Sorry to hear that your trip wasn't all that great. We'll make it up to you if you bring the family down to Yosemite for the 2nd annual GL meet/greet next June. No beaches, but incredible scenery that I can only imagine in my mind.

Our family has been lucky over the years with Disney and we absolutely adore the theme parks. We've gone every year to Disney World since our daughter was 3, and last year we went to see Disneyland for the first time. At 9, she still loves it as much as me!

Don't get me wrong, we love the Mexican beaches too and we're looking forward to spring break in Punta Mita next year. But, for those of us with Princesses in the house, Disney takes the cake.

Brocktoon

yeah, my girl wears a tiara camping, so I thought she would be more into it, but the only rides she liked were Autotopia, rode three times, Sun Wheel three times, Dumbo twice, but spent most of the time begging to go to the hotel pool. She found the parades too loud and scary, same with the shows.

She did eat her own order of salmon and quite a bit of my rare lamb at Napa Rose, so at least she has her priorities right....
