Actually there were a number of rides in the park that none of us found particularly interesting.
Like for instance Dr. Doom's Fear Fall. See, I've done this before. They strap you in and run you up a big tower and drop you suddenly and your toes curl and every orifice on your body shrivels up and you scream if you can and then it's all over, and what fun is that? Actually during the afternoon storm I thought it might be fun to go up and see if the towers could act like lightning rods, but Heather wouldn't let me.
We saw some strange sights. Now what is that thing supposed to be? A lighthouse, that's what -- now stop asking so many questions.
Yeah, let's take a break and sit down on the curb for a little while. Maybe Bill will tell a story. Poor thing knows only one, though -- it's about a girl named Cinderella.
I think Bill got his tongue twisted around some Spoonerisms.
Garrett was puzzled. Spoonerisms? How does that work? So Bill explained. And Garrett started practicing. In fact, for the rest of the day we kept hearing Garrett muttering comments under his breath about Miderspan and Soctor Deuss and Parry Hotter. Oops, Heather, I'm afraid Bill has created a monster.
You're never gonna believe it, but when this character walked up and shook Bill's hand, the rest of the kids said, "Who's that?" It's Bullwinkle THE Moose, of course! Who? BULLWINKLE! You know Rocky and Bullwinkle, don't you? Who? GAAAHHH! What is this younger generation coming to? "Bullwinkle: Well this is a pickle...actually its more of a kumquat." Truly dialogue for the ages.
Intrepid adventurers about to be eaten by a ravenous raven. An eager eagle? A robbing robin?
