Random Thoughts, 9-28-05

I found this post well written and insightful. It's a look at the examination of judging by appearances.
----------------------------------
Tom DeLay stepped down. Republican party to talk about his long years of service shortly.
----------------------------------
Nothing like a baseball season coming down to its final weekend.
----------------------------------
Okay, so I put Willis McGahee on the trade block to gauge interest and someone is willing to offer him Plaxico Burress and Chris Brown. Currently I have Hines Ward (bye week), Michael Clayton, Jerry Porter, Kevin Curtis, and Braylon Edwards as my WRs. Do I pull the trigger?
----------------------------------
I like roller coasters too, there was this one in Six Flags over Texas I liked, but I can't remember the name of it right now.

Is there one ride you absolutely detested at a theme park or carnival? Personally I hated the pirate ship...you know the one that swings back and forth.

I hated the centrifuge rides - the ones that spin you? I never minded the rides that swing you, but I have problems going sideways.

Rides I detest: Mission Space at Disney World. The only time I have ever thrown up due to a ride. (You wanted to know that, right?) And beyond that, the ride is boring and you just sit there. Sure, you get a few seconds of weightlessness, but it wasn't worth it.

The detestability of that ride is directly correlated with your position relative to the other passengers when they start vomiting. If you're above them, you're OK -- but woe befalls the unsuspecting thrill-seeker when the jolly swings of the ship positions them under their vomiting fellow pirates!

Hi.

I can't remember the name of the one I was on in Rose Park as a kid but it was a jolty one. It's wasn't that fast, either. It just jerked you around like it wanted to snap your neck. I hated that damn thing.
