P.S. Yeah. I haven't figured out if it's a crystal soap dish, either. But it's COOOOOL!

LOL Jack, that's a total riot. That's also really cool! I feel like I know a celebrity! Geez, getting all yoru questions right!

Well, it wasn't THAT cool! I kinda cheated.

For one, I got seriously stumped on the second question. It was about Mary Poppins, which I hadn't seen in ten years (even though I OWN the stupid DVD). The question was, "When you shake the hands of a chimney sweep, this is what rubs off on you." I got ready to answer "A. soot", when the female host said, "You SURE about that? Do you want to *B* careful and look at the other answers below that? Sometimes you might get *LUCKY* and find an answer you know to be right."

"Well, I wanna say soot. But something tells me to go with B. Lucky. Final answer!"

"And you're right!"

Of course, they help anyone out on the easy questions, I guess. But it just so happens that the hard question was about the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, a subject I knew inside and out from the fact that I'd just gotten out of a two hour conversation/seminar with Jason Surrell, the guy who wrote the book on the history of the rides and the movie. The question just happened to be one he covered.

Wow - too cool. And totally like Disney. What was the question?

Something along the lines of, "Which ride opened at Disney World in 1973 due to its popularity at Disneyland?"

Just wanted to add that we just received a package from Disney Cruise Lines: a shoreside survival kit. It includes all types of goodies, including a CD of island music!

Great stuff especially for those people making videos of their trip, and needing background music. It even includes the Wish Upon A Star horn from the ship.

Did you get it on the ship, or did they mail it? (i want one

)

They mail it to you as a sort of "You know you miss us" survival kit, a few weeks after you disembark.

That is a riot, Jack. I wonder if they did it to encourage you to book the next trip.

Wait, that was a stupid question. Of course they did.

Heh heh.

Yeah, but that's the great thing about Disney cruises that set itself apart from all the others: extra crap. When you've been on their cruise line multiple times they give you towels and beach bags, and all sorts of other things. It's the little things that make you remember them, and sort of personalize the whole experience.

Speaking of which, had the kids not been in school I'd have another cruise booked right now. They announced some insane Florida resident rates, and I wanted to go so bad. My wife wouldn't let me pull them out of school for it, though.

Can you encode it in MP3 and upload it please?

Sure thing! You'll have to give me a day to get to it, though. Midterms. -Gag-

The Sub Has Spoken, Jack, forget midterms - step on it!

Eh. I was going to fail them all anyway. I uploaded them.
