The Interpreter

At over 60, I can marathon Vortex as long as anyone wants (hi, malem). But I've gotten to the point I can happily not ride Firehawk.

Let's just say if she used her normal voice, she'd be on sounder footing.

The Office Space receptionist is far more intelligible. That woman on the train was what we call "putting on airs." Trying to sound high-falutin, she sounds preposterous. She should be forced to listen to herself on that YouTube video for hours on end. I bet she'd be mortified. Teens. With mikes. Entertaining themselves. And annoying the dickens out of "you guys."

One should count the number of times Sing-Songy-Whiney Says "You Guys."

Perhaps the most annoying voice spieling on the train I've EVER heard. Edith Bunker was more sonorous.

Look at the numbers of gators otherwise cited in that story...

Dad: There Were Two Alligators Attacking My Son: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/07/03/dad-2-gators-involved-in-disney-attack-that-killed-son.html

Yep. That's in the "I Can't Make This Crap Up" thread, too. EDIT: You may not have. It's too early to know.

Perhaps they were dim bulbs.

Didn't he used to manage Carowinds?

The intoxication levels are listed in the story in the other thread. They are....wait for it...breathtaking. And Poppa was drinking when Sonny was pulled over.

If they don't, that's even worse.

I think the cornerstones were meant for the little people. They certainly didn't apply to the sell out the unitholders to Apollo for a song D. Kinzels nor the D. Kinzels whose laundry allowance alone greatly exceeded the average seasonal's pay.

It is a cornerstone for Cedar Fair, which isn't a corporation.

The waterpark is closed. Therefore, those who went and otherwise would be at Soak City...aren't.

...or kill or severely maim anyone on the way.

A. The ambient park "music." B. You can hear the train narrator saying "They are rebuilding Son of Beast." Is integrity no longer a Cedar Fair cornerstone? There are times I really miss Paramount Parks....

Think it's changing now? Compare September 10, 2001 to September 12, 2001.

The kid didn't have a permit...

And how and who is going to police that? Wouldn't happen.

And then the darned thing goes off on Fury and an 11 year old dies?

I spent three days in downtown Nashville TWICE as my father was too stubborn to buy advance tickets to the Grand Ole Opry--and when we got there, there never were any left. In retrospect, he wasn't the show type, and I think he wanted to appease my mother but not actually go. I bought a dandy AM/FM radio that I wish I still had from Gold, Silver & Co., and as a 15/16 year old, bought wonderful cheeseburgers and fries from a 21 and up only bar--and took back to the downtown flea bag hotel Dad had reserved. We saw a movie in The Tennessean--an experience I'll never forget, though I long ago forgot what movie it was. Those two trips--horrible at the time, are among my fondest memories.

As the other news story pointed out, these parents were slobbering, staggeringly drunk.

Filtering? If you ever cleaned a soda fountain, and I have many times, you'd know most do NOT filter and in fact are major harbors, along with ice machines, for mold and even fungus. The few that do have filters may not get changed often, or even until they are stopped up.

Somewhere in here is the Health Department. When I worked in food service, NO cups that were not provided by the food service licensee could be touched. Period. Oddly, that's consistent with that policy.
