Any kibologists going to be in Orlando for the week after Easter?

[John D Salt]

Well?

It happens that, immigration authorities and corporate imbecility
permitting, I shall be attending a conference in the improbably-
named Gaylord Palms hotel, Orlando, Florida, USonia, the week
following Easter Sunday.

Might there be any kibologists prepared to partcipate in a beer
therapy session with me at or mear the improbably-named, &c.?

Also, any suggestions for ways to make my conference talk more
kibological are welcome. I already intend to mention the Imam of
Oman and the Faqir of Ipi.

Also also, any suggestions for how to make my jury service when I
get back to the UK more kibological without actually getting
flang in the slammer for contempt of court.

Or maybe aren't kibologists allowed on Orlando?

Flooop.

For the SPIE Aerosense conference? I went to that two years ago to
present a paper. The conference sucked (it was for Optical Engineers,
which I am not), but that hotel is awesome (assuming you're on an
expense account, because everything costs megabuck$).

It's actually a schizophrenic theme hotel. It has an artificial lagoon
with a mock schooner/restaurant in it where I enjoyed delicious fish &
chips, a misty bayou with a cajun shack where I enjoyed a $20 glass of 12
year old Cabernat Sauvignon, and it has a Spanish castle where I enjoyed
reading when I was supposed to be attending the conference. Also, some
sort of spanish-ish food all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant.

These are all in a giant, glassed dome-covered courtyard, enclosed on the
sided by what are effectively 4 different themed hotel towers. It takes
up the whole city block.

There's a Mel Fisher: Treasure Hunter store where you can buy authentic
Spanish Shipwreck Dubloons, and a Godiva chocolate store, and a
nautical knick-knack store, and, and, and...

When I was there, I had already done the Disney/Universal parks the year
before, so I didn't even leave the hotel the four days I was there.

I just told you that the hotel is awesome. You will walk in to the
courtyard and be in awe that they could waste so much money on air
conditioning such a huge, relatively uninsulated space. In Florida.

If you do leave the building, go to Downtown Disney (a
psuedo-adult-oriented "hot spot") and find the Cuban restaurant. Because
that's the only place in Orlando that you're going to find "native" food,
and even that's imported. I have no idea how authentic it is, but it was
delicious.

Plenty of places in America will sell you a piece of fried fish and

Few, if any, will hand it to you wrapped in newsprint. Few will have

It is not possible to make authentic British fish and chips, or jumbo batter

I live an hour away from Orlando! I would suggest skipping the hotel bars
and going to the BBQ bar or Will's Pub. Perhaps even the Back Booth Bar. Of
course, all of the bars are hip indie rocker bars and you may or may not be
interested in that sort of scene. The problem with Orlando is that it is
one giant franchise operation.

The Holy Land Theme Park is not exactly Kibological but may warrant a
visit. Myself, I have never gone. It's a bible themed "historical" theme
park. It's owned by a combination of Jews for Jesus freaks and Evangelists.
One of its sole purposes is to convert Jewish People to
Christianity. All of the employees dress in period correct clothing
and may or may not try to convert you to something or another.

Unfortunately, the Splendid China theme park closed. It was prolly the most
artistic and meaningful park around. It was fifty-eight acres of miniature
models of Chinese architecture and gardens. They even had a mini version of
the Great Wall. I guess it couldn't compete with Disney and Universal.

Gator Land is an "Old Florida" attraction, the front of the building is a
giant alligator, and has been spoofed on shows such as the Simpsons. The
only thing I find amusing about Gatorland is how it is so fukken trashy it
is.

Man, this place sucks.

I've seen them, by sheer force of personality, make a club full of
people sit down on the floor (there were no chairs) and stay quiet
(except during singalongs such as the beer song and the scrotum song)
so the people in the back could see and hear. Then they proceeded to
play two sets of songs about sex, drugs, and other topics of musical
interest.

I believe that Florida is not the place for anything but theme
parks, orange juice and marine mammals.
I was going to add "space travel", but I shouldn't think many of
our readers will admit to being old enough to remember when
people used to go to the moon.

Now you've made me feel really old if I'm the only one here who
remembers NBC's "seaQuest", the show filmed at a _theme park_ in
_Orlando_ with a _marine mammal_ on board a submarine that kept
accidentally going into _outer space_.

Sheesh.

How could you folks forget the glory that was "seaQuest"?
It was on the air practically forever. In fact, it was such a
long-lived fixture of television that it aired under at least
three different titles. You people need to brush up on your
television viewing habits.

Just for that, I'm not even going to mention the episode where
they all sat on the floor drinking orange juice and crying because
nobody watched their show when it was on thirty or forty years ago.
But I did I like the Atari 2600 video game based on it in the 1980s
(some time around the thirty-second season.)

-- K.

Good thing the movie comes out next fall
to remind people about that classic show
starring Roy Scheider, Dame Judi Dench,
Anson Williams, and the Hilton sisters.

I love seaquest, and have every episode. God Bless SeaQuest

I don't remember Seaquest, but I do remember some show that
had astronauts that got sent back into time to the caveman
days.
Something like "It's About Time". Or something.

I can remember the song. "It's about time, it's about space,
it's about time to slap your face"...
That was OUR rendition of it, anyway. (My other 5 siblings and I never

Geez, you people are so young. You don't even remember the color re-make?
The one where NBC had to spell it "seaQuest" with a lowercase "s" to
make it legally distinct from the good one?

I understand why the black and white one flopped back on the old
Dumont network, since those 3-D glasses were such a pain to wear.
And you had to send in so many Kellogg's Pep box-tops to get them.
But when they dropped the gimmick and just did it in straight black
and white it was a fine show. Filled up the screen of a Philco Predicta
so nicely. (Philco paid them to make the submarine that shape so
that the show wouldn't work on other brands of TV.)

I didn't like those couple seasons where they changed the title to
"SeaHunt". Just because they fired Robert Stack and replaced him with
Lloyd Bridger as Captain Nathan Bridges was no excuse to go messing
with the title. "Hunt", "Quest", little "s", Roy Scheider with a big "S",
it's all the same to me.

Something like "It's About Time". Or something.

"It's About Time Or Something" was the first show to save money by
combining a time-travel science-fiction sitcom with the innovative
interactivity of "Winky Dink And You". They cut costs by only
writing the first half of the episode. Then, Imogene Coca would
turn to the camera and bellow, "We've just travelled in time...
OR SOMETHING! Hey kids, get out your crayons and draw what happens
next!" I always had trouble deciding whether to send in my
Kellogg's Pep box-tops to get the "seaQuest" goggles or the
"It's About Time Or Something" protective plastic tarp that
covered the back and sides of the TV set so that when you drew
on the screen you wouldn't get marks on the woodgrain cabinet.

Sadly, I do actually own

but it's just not the same

I'm glad they rebuilt it after the robots destroyed it. That show had
something of a shoestring budget and couldn't afford special effects,
so they just used real robots to smash the building. That's why every
episode ended with J.G. Ballard explaining that everything on the show was
real. It was the low budget that accidentally made it turn out educational.

I hear that originally, the reason they hired J.G. Ballard was that
they just wanted to get rights to film his novel "Naked Lunch" as
an episode, but they couldn't get Roy Scheider to be in it, so they
had to settle for that black guy with all the wrinkles.

had my clock radio set to go off just as the news came on, because no

news began "Their lives in grave danger, the Apollo 13 astronauts..."
That was one of the worst wakings up of my life.

One of the best wakings up of my father's life was when his father got
him out of bed in the middle of the night (in the 1920s sometime) to
hear a radio broadcast from 25 miles away.

One Tuesday morning, I finished watching the tape of the previous night's

saw was a tower on fire. I then watched with horror as we heard that a plane
had "accidentally crashed into the North tower of the WTC". Beloved Wife
then pointed out that another plane was in the picture, which none of the
news crew noticed.
I still have nightmares of watching the scond plane detonate. Living in
England at the height of IRA activity, terrorism is not new to me. I used to
be afraid to go within 20 miles of Central London. But 9/11 was the worst
thing I have ever seen, and I saw the majority of it live.

In seriousness, she said it was weird, happened in a split second and
he just doubled over. Every TV special which shows the footage will
encorporate freeze frames, or slo-mo, through much of the sequence, so I
can't imagine what it was like to see it live.

I spent the better part of two hours on a January day google searching for
Chrysler hearses and ambulances from the fifties. I love hearses but only
the ones from the mid to late fifties.

I own and operate a 1966 Plymouth Belvedere. (four door, more geeky) It's
white with a two tone blue interior. I'm in the process of hot rodding it,
but the car is currently nice enough to warrant attention from all major
demographics. In 1956-195? the Fury and the Belvedere were essentially the
same car, the only difference is the option level. If given a choice I
would rather take a 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer. It's pretty much the
same thing, but imho it is a little bit snazzier.

I also own a 1972 Dodge Polara/ Monaco station wagon. It's 22 foot long,
jet black and just plain evil. The previous owner had applied fake church
logos on it so it would look more like a hearse. I enjoy driving it for the
looks of fear and confusion on peoples faces when they see me pass by.


I am a car geek and there is no cure.

How come everybody has a relative that had a Mustang with a two tone blue
interior?

Malcolm and Les Hiddins (Bush Tucker Man) could kick Steve Irwin's
arse easily.

Paul Hogan could trounce the three of all at once.

@##$^&*!#@$R!
PAUL HOGAN IS NOT AUSTRALIAN ANY MORE!

we HEARTILY endorse your embracement of Steve Irwin's Austrianism, and
ask that you keep him the hell there.

You can keep Paul Hogan,

Is he still wrestling?

The Holy Land Theme Park is not exactly Kibological but may warrant a
visit. Myself, I have never gone. It's a bible themed "historical" theme
park. It's owned by a combination of Jews for Jesus freaks and Evangelists.
One of its sole purposes is to convert Jewish People to
Christianity. All of the employees dress in period correct clothing
and may or may not try to convert you to something or another.

I bet they're kicking themselves over not coming up with
the idea of having all the drones speak only in Aramaic
and Latin.

Also, any suggestions for ways to make my conference talk more
kibological are welcome. I already intend to mention the Imam of
Oman and the Faqir of Ipi.

Perhaps you could revisit some of the ideas put forth in Message-ID:
<61j5j9$***@molnir.brunel.ac.uk>. (How to use this particular link to
figure out what the hell I'm talking about has been left as an exercise for
the reader. Be sure to use a number 2 pencil. Begin.)

Or maybe aren't kibologists allowed on Orlando?

I've been to the area twice in the last few months and wasn't accosted by
the authorities once! The key however is to keep a low profile and not say
anything in advance about your arrival - otherwise it's the gaol for sure.

Enjoy your visit and be sure to tip your bartenders and wait staff.

So I wackyparsed Dean's post as "enjoy your wrist" and saw Jim's
"hand"y photo tour, and of course I thought, oh here we go, another
masturbation thread on ARK. What a shocker. Then I *was* shocked to
find it was actually a nice, family oriented thread about vacation
destinations.
This pretty much sums up what I think of you freaks.

And alt.religion.kibology is all about me, me, me, me, me, so all
masturbation is about me. That's a great honor even though it's
also completely disgusting, you perverts.
