I'm helping out a family on an angel tree this Christmas...

This is not meant to top your little "I operated Congo Falls with a laptop" deal AZ.....But I reset equipment in the Netherlands from my house in the US using my cell phone.

No worries. That's actually pretty badass!

I once ate nothing but Skyline Chili for nearly a week.

I win.

If that's winning i'm happy to be a loser!

(Skyline Chili [At least at the park] YUCK!)

Thanks Gordon for the idea. I'm usually up for a good food challenge. Mrs. Gator hates that and in fact said to me just last week, "You don't work for the Travel Channel!" (a reference to the wonderful show Man v. Food for those of you who didn't catch it).

Gator, who once was challenged to see how many full plates of shrimp he could eat compared to his friend. The friend ate 10 plates of shrimp, and I ate 12... I just couldn't beat him by only 1. And then there was the time I was dared to see how many Pixie Stix I could fit in my mouth at once. It was somewhere in the 42-48 range... very hard to swallow with that much sugar in your mouth.

Wow... look at how how far off-topic we've gotten. Oh well. 'Tis the (off)season.

I am so sorry for you. All the Gold Star in Cinci, and you do that....silly boy.

I can trump you all.

My 50th coaster was Howler at Holiday World.

(I got nothin'.)

Why do you wish ill on Mr. Bombay?

I don't....I just want him to get the real flavor of Cincinnati...

Terp, who knows good stuff when he tastes it...

Now if you'd made it a full week, I'd give you the win, but the "nearly" drops you down a few notches.

Got to ask, did you change it up at all or was it the same menu item all the time? I'm imagining a few chili-cheese sandwiches for lunch every day and a nice 4-way for dinner every night - I think I could handle that.

Skyline does have excellent chilitos. I will give them that.

Too bad they don't have those at the park.

do they now?

Bump?!

BUT, Terpy if you love the Chilitos, you should really get Spalitos. They are just Chilitos with spaghetti in them! They're basically like Small 3-ways in a tortilla! They are great!

1. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory has tighter conversations with Voyager 2 than this thread!

2. That sounds delicious! Gonna try a Spalito tonight!

3. On topic, and from the relatively unqualified perspective of a mere observer, I'd think it'd have to be the Eiffel Tower, with having to keep count of occupants, operate the elevator while giving a timed-and-rehearsed speech, then answer random, sometimes technical questions as accurately as possible, all while smiling in the spare time remaining before reaching the top. Kudos, I say!

Monster.

The now defunct handcars. F*ck that ride.

Rides are easy to operate.

Its knowing what to do when they break.

Disclaimer: Just an observation of most rides I've seen during a downtime situation.

Uhhhh hand cars. The bain of my existence.
