The MOD Squad

[minniekissedme]

Gentlemen...start your engines!

In another lifetime there were a bunch of dads that kind of hung out, chatted, :ale: together, :sing: together, and had general all about Disney fun together. I propose that the first session of
The MOD (MouseOwnersDads) Squad come to order.

As the first order of business, I would like to introduce myself. From this point on I will be MOD1...proud MOD to DS11, DD9, and DS7, as well as loving MOH to my dear DW. We are Disney vets of the last four years and one Disney cruise before that. We are now owners at SSR and eagerly await our first trip home in August of 2008!

As the second order of business, I would like to offer that the membership of the MOD Squad has one official criteria for membership and one unofficial criteria for membership.

You must be a Disney loving Dad!

Second...should you be fortunate enough to strike it rich in the Powerball or Mega Millions, or Bingo...you arrange a MOD Squad Meet at WDW or DL!

I hearby declare the MOD Squad to be open for membership!

:welcome: to the MOD Squad!

[greenban]

That Makes me MOD4!!!

I, (in a very manly manner) appreciate the new name (I would have said Love, but we're all MEN here!).

Hi, I'm Tony, proud MOD4 to DD15 Rachael (AKA Thing 1), DS12 Anthony (AKA Thing 2) ans DD7 Rebecca (AKA Thing 3). Infront of AKV's first Christmas Tree, Christmas week 2007!

and very lucky (yes Dear!) MOH to Michi (pronounced Mickey, what else?)

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f312/snarfer1/Disney2007310.jpg

I am also secure enough in my own masculinity to not only wear a fanny-pack, but to wear it backwards!

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f312/snarfer1/Disney2007312.jpg

I'm a total Disney nut, and DVC lover. My part of our Honeymoon was at WDW in 1990, 1 year before they started selling OKW. If I has know I would have bought it then, instead of 2003, and enjoyed 8 years of free park passes, oh well!. I own everywhere available except for HHI, and hope to retire to a 1 bedroom there in the next 15 years. I am a fanatical planner and MAXimize the value of my DVC points.

As testosterone ladden as I am (as all of us here are), I am secure enough to admit I love frogs!

Like many of the other REAL MEN here, I have that strictly American, oddly wierd, love of Guns and Disney!!!!

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f312/snarfer1/IMGP0735.jpg

Whatelse?

In my 48 years I have been a youth group president, EMT, Firefighter, Paramedic, Physician, BioMedical Engineer, BioTerrorism Consultant, Medical Billing Service Owner, Medical School Assistant Professor, Gunsmith (okay,mail-order course, but I am certified), NRA Benefactor Member, Dad, Husband (BTW, this list is *NOT* in chronological order!!!), and Charter Member of the Professional DVC Renter's Association, and now MOD4 of the MOD-SQUAD!!!

-Tony

Oh and I own around 345.67 points!

Another beautiful family! Of course you're proud.

All these beautiful DVC families have me thinking.

Are all the ugly (err I mean beauty impaired) people I see around the DVC resorts renters?

Are only Owners beautiful?

Or is it MO-DVC Owners specifically?

-Tony

ETA: Dad do you know the meaning of the 'salute' you're getting?

[TikiTwinsDad]

I'm joining because it's part of my user name and I wanted to.

Howdy. As mentioned in prior posts. Not sure what MOD I am 5 or 6? Anyway - Location is the suburbs of Philadelphia. Father of twins, a boy & girl, both 3 weeks shy of 2 years old, and I have a wonderful wife, not surprisingly called TikiTwinsMom for these purposes. I've managed to visit WDW 13 times in my 33.5 years on earth. The twins have only been once.

But, we're hoping to significantly increase those numbers as we are in the process of purchasing 220 points at VWL and 125 points at BCV - both recently passed ROFR. We've already got our next NINE trips tentatively planned out until August 2011. And, no, I am not kidding, this just shows that I am truly a Disney loving (in a manly way) kind of MOD.

I would suggest that if there is going to be a MOD squad - we'll need MOD laws, not unlike man-laws. So, I'll throw that out there for suggestions.
The criteria, I think, for MOD Laws would be (1) obviously, has to be connected in some way to Disney, DVC, or the MO Boards, (2) the laws should include things that are uniquely (or should be uniquely) male, such as drinking, gambling, sports, bodily functions, etc. and (3) when a woman or "MOM" hears the MOD law, they should roll their eyes, shake their heads or simply say "tsk, tsk" within 5 seconds or it doesn't count. By the way, "tsk, tsk" is not very MOD-ly either.

I personally would like to eliminate the use of the DH, DS and DD acronyms for family, as I don't find them particularly "MOD-ly," but I recognize the convention and that I'd be fighting an uphill battle. For starters, then, I think certain smilies should be banned under MOD-laws - like that bouncing pink ball, the cheerleader with the pom-poms and the guy with the hearts over his head .

[greenban]

I am also secure enough in my own masculinity to not only wear a fanny-pack, but to wear it backwards!
http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f312/snarfer1/Disney2007312.jpg

Like many of the other REAL MEN here, I have that strictly American, oddly wierd, love of Guns and Disney!!!!
http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f312/snarfer1/IMGP0735.jpg


That begs the question........is there a gun in the fanny pack?? Cause I know if I wear one (fanny pack that is), EVERYONE thinks there is.......though they are usually right. ;) Got 5 steps from going thru the metal detector at DCL just a week and a half ago before realizing I had my fanny pack on.....whew, that was close.....carried it back out to the truck and locked it up all safe like.

MOD4 - thank you for taking of your time to serve as acting secretary. I appreciate your willingness to serve the greater good!

While MOD4 has stepped up, I am hopeful that someone is willing to serve the first term as MOD-RS. Let us outline minimum term as one month with no more than two consecutive terms to be served. At which time a new appointment shall be made.

The floor (or is it lilypad) is now open for nominations! :judge:

In light of prior posts, while I think fanny packs may be allowed for limited purposes (guns or other contraband) from a MOD-law prospective, they definitely need a different name - off the top of my head trying to come up with a good acronym - perhaps the Handsfree Attache for Men or the HAM.

In true Philly fashion I voted twice and I voted for my deceased father-in-law, who was one happenin' MOD. Youse guys got a problem wid dat?

And, being from Philly, I offer my condolenseces to the penguins.

[glypnir]

:tongue:OK, I'll sign up for MOD8. Since I don't have to be recording secretary or anything like that. And there is no rule requiring me to actually take my kids with me to Disney, right?:shhh:

As evidence, here are pictures of the offspring in question:

First the peripatetic petunia pretending to be a pufferfish:

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t221/glypnir/laurapufferfish.jpg

And here is captain video right after he opened his Christmas present a couple of years ago, a Wii:

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t221/glypnir/johngetsawii.jpg

And then there's my bonus step son type:

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t221/glypnir/cueball.jpg

Haven't come up with a good nickname for him, but in this one, we can call him cueball.

And, yes, it's true, I'm married to the wonderful, the awesome, the all around fantastic glypnirsgirl. She's introduced me to Disneyworld, SCUBA, pistol shooting, Merrell's Jungle Mocs, and lots of other wonderful things. You other guys can't have her, either, nyaah, nyaah, nyaah :tongue:

[JimP]

I want to be MOD8, but it seems to reject my pretty picture posts. So let me just try a bit of text.

I have 2 kids, the peripatetic petunia and captain video, along with my step-son, sometimes known as cueball.

And I'm married to the wonderful glypnirsgirl.

Welcome Ian!

/Jim

[glypnirsgirl]

Ian is getting frustrated because he has tried to post his pictures here and they are not posting. I am going to see if I can figure out what is going on (sorry to crash the parties, men)

I am not logged in to his photobucket account so here is my favorite picture of my son (now 25)

http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll12/glypnirsgirl/P3110904.jpg

[administrator]

Our Spam filter is pretty tight, and new posters can't post images, links, etc., until after they have 3 - 5 posts under their belt.

It might happen one more time if Ian attempts to post pictures. After that, it should be okay.

This is how we keep sordid pictures and ads for various pharmaceuticals from the boards, so in the end, it's a good thing.

Sorry for the inconvenience, though.

I like the idea of protection from sordid pictures and ads, so I'm happy to put up with a little inconvenience.

I should mention that I grew up in the Steel City.

Born in Oregon,1955, moved to Pittsburgh in 1956, went to college in Chicago in 1973, moved to DFW in 1986, been here ever since with a few month visit to Denver.

I like all those spots. And that spot near Orlando too. Yes, I've been SBD (Spoiled By Disney). And I bet you thought SBD had something to do with cutting the cheese. ;)

[Grandbuddy]

Tony will sort it out, I'm sure. At present, I'm actually a super-MOD, as I have so far produced a third generation of Disney fans (with some help from my sons and their wives). Some photos from our family trip in December '07:

And to prove I fit in with the manliness of this extremely manly, masculine, testosterone-laden crowd: Yes, I also formerly carried my Glock in a fanny pack at times, an ankle holster at times, and also as a sidearm throughout a 31-yr. career in federal law enforcement. Ed (Holiday Road) also carries a badge. Mine now says, "Retired." But it still works, along with a lifetime permit from the State of Alabama. Yes, mine hang as low as anybody's...but mostly because I'm probably shorter than the rest of you!

Did you mean former liberal? I'm still a liberal, but I've been a friend of the 2nd ammendment for a long time. Just need to convert the rest of the liberals to my viewpoint. Just like conservatives and liberals mostly support the 1st ammendment, we need to work on all supporting number 2.

I'm up for Macros of the handshake steps, whatever those are. But I'm kind of a geek. Learning physical skills is not my forte.:rolleyes:

But at least I'm a macho geek. It's really true that the jargon description of my job is "embedded firmware" What could be more macho than that?

[greenban]

What MOD number am I?

MOD11 Buddy!

[Grandbuddy]

How in heck do you pronounce your screen name? (glypnir?)

Your friend,

MOD 10

Hey, that rhymes!

[glypnir]

How in heck do you pronounce your screen name? (glypnir?)

Your friend,

MOD 10

Hey, that rhymes!


It's pronounced "glip", rhymes with "clip", and then "near"

Need to put a Mod8 in my signature line.

I'm jealous of greenban's animation. I'll have to see if Captain Video can come up with a better one.

[TikiTwinsDad]

That I couldn't get my pictures, posted on here, but noticed they showed up late last night, and were actually put in the correct order on p. 3. Now I see the issue was the site's spam filters (for which I am grateful) and not me. I felt a little inadequate because I'm usually pretty good at this computer stuff... Next I'll need to work on a signature including the MOD-6 title.

Lots of MODs with PA connections, with at least 2 from Philly and 2 from Pittsburgh. What's up with that? As a true Philly guy, though, who has experienced 25 years of professional sports without a championship, I can't root for either Pittsburgh (and Ms. Sidney) or Detroit in the Cup final. Maybe I'll hope for a betting scandal knocking out both teams and permitting the Flyers to sneak in the back door.

[bruinfan]

You can add my name to the MOD-Squad although I don't have hair like Linc Hayes or Pete Cochran.
Unfortunately I have no guns but I do have a love of hockey, baseball and Food and Wine (beer) Festivals.
Can I pick my own number or are these assigned sequentially?

[bruinfan]

As a long time Flyer hater, I have to give kudos to them for eliminating the Habs this year as the B's are too inept. I'm no Penguin fan (hockey anyway) but they did their job in bumping the Flyers. I want the finals to go to overtime in game 7 to make their off seasons as short as possible.

[TW1]

Y(beer) Festivals.


Beer? Did someone say beer (and hockey)?

While we're at it, here's something else I'm fond of.

[minniekissedme]

:welcome: all MOD's! Really happy to see my buddies Prince, GB, and Tiki!

Great pix all...GB, the photo in front of the lit castle is awesome! Tiki, the twins are gorgeous!

I'm really glad you all have found comfort in the MOD Squad and I expect this will be an entertaining thread for all MO's to read...:worship:

As for you admirers of Mr. Sidney...I'd say Sid showed who's the boss (apologies to Tony Danza) last nite. I gotta tell you he might be the nicest kid I've ever met. DW and I had the pleasure of attending a couple dinners the Pens do with Cystic Fibrosis. We met all of the players/coaches, etc., and Sid even talked with DS11 when I called home and handed Sid the phone!

Anyway...thanks again for being MOD! Oh, yeah...

GO PENS!

[glypnir]

What a shock, we get a bunch of guys together here, and it turns into a sports thread.:highfive:

Go Steelers.

[Goofy Dad 13]

Greenban,

Rather than guess, would my MOD # be 12 or 13?

Thanks

[TikiTwinsDad]

minniekissedme - I will give my props to Sid for being a nice kid, including with your daughter. And, he sure had a great game yesterday. I'm just a bitter Philadelphia sports fan who for almost my entire 33 years on this planet has been a fan of losers. Sigh.

TW1 - agree with you on the Yuengling. Need to do the tour in Pottsville sometime. It's managed to get much more mainstream, too. When I was in college at UVA in Charlottesville, VA, you couldn't find it and my roomates loved it and wanted me to bring. Now, it's all over VA. That's a good thing.

On a related note, I am originally from PottsTOWN, but every person at UVA would say "isn't that where Yuengling is brewed" I used to say "no, that's PottsVILLE" but then I just gave up. Same with people calling me "Brian" when my name is "Ryan" and asking if our twins are identical when they are a BOY and a GIRL. You just give up after awhile.

Glypnir - I don't have anything against the Stillers. But, have to chime in with an E-A-G-L-E-S "Iggles" cheer of my own. I admire you for being in TX, but not being a Dallas Cowboys fan (I hope).

[minniekissedme]

The MOD Squad will surely be more than just sports! We indeed are above such a single-minded purpose in life...:ale:

While it surely doesn't rival the ineptitude of the entire city of Philadelphia's sports teams I am a long suffering Pirates fan, too! My poor kids have no idea what it's like to have a winning baseball team in this town. And while I am a Steelers fan, living here during football season gets lame with all Steelers all the time...Ben Roethlisberger blows his nose...film at 11...

Greenban,

:welcome: GD13!!! Go to see you made the trip!

[wombat94]

Add me to the list.

Back on the "other" board, my tag I had under my name was "Dad to Grace and Joy". I've loved Disney since my first trip to WDW at age 4, so put that together with how I identify myself, and I'm certainly a MOD.

I'm from the Philly area as well... and unfortunately came of age at the time all the Philly teams were good. '73 and '74 Flyers. The Phillies run from '76 through '83. The Sixers in the same span. The Dick Vermiel Eagles. All great teams... all have had such hard times. I will always remember 1980-81... I believe it is still the only time that a city had its franchise in the finals of all 4 major sports in a 12 month span (Flyers and Sizers in spring 1980 for the 1979-80 season, Phillies winning it all in October 1980, Eagles in the super bowl in January 1981).

Since then... not so much fun. But of all 4 sports, I am first and foremost a baseball fan, so things are looking up right now.

Glad to be on board as a MOD.

[tomandrobin]

Sense this is a testosterone heavy thread and we are all men here. Just trying to give you fellow MOD's a heads up. If going to the movies this weekend....

AVOID SEX IN THE CITY!!!!

This is a quote from The Entertainment Guide.....

If there ever was a time for men to avoid the cinema, this weekend is it.

The Sex And The City film had its UK release last night with many cinemas full to the brim of extremely excited women - and hardly a man to be seen.

Such is the frenzied excitement surrounding the popular TV show’s celluloid offering that cinemas across the UK are booked up for weeks.

PS - Those of you who need to score some extra points, pay no heed to the above warning.

[TW1]

Mod2, this is one of the last movies I need to see.

While we are on avoiding movies, I was very disappointed with Indiana Jones. Indy and space aliens do not belong in the same movie.

But I saw a preview of Hancock that looked very entertaining.

[minniekissedme]

Sense this is a testosterone heavy thread and we are all men here. Just trying to give you fellow MOD's a heads up. If going to the movies this weekend....



perhaps some "window shopping" would be ok??? Perhaps as the wise MOD's we are we should be alerting the MOSHM to such a bevy of beauties...:jumpingbe

[glypnir]

When I was in college at UVA in Charlottesville, VA, ...


Glypnir - I don't have anything against the Stillers. But, have to chime in with an E-A-G-L-E-S "Iggles" cheer of my own. I admire you for being in TX, but not being a Dallas Cowboys fan (I hope).

First of all, I am definitely not a Cowboys fan.:hurl:

My sympathies on the Philadelphia thing. It's not your fault.

I think glypnirsgirl has already mentioned it, but my daughter, the one doing the pufferfish imitation in her picture a few pages back, has just finished her first year at the UVA School of Law.

She got admitted to Harvard too, but she preferred UVA - much more collegial and cooperative, rather than the active back-stabbing culture she heard about at Harvard. They also gave her a much better scholarship.

[Mickeyfan0805]

Ok guys, I'll catch up on the actual thread later - but I'm in. I'm a Dad of DD3 and DD2 and DW and I fell in love with Disney when we took the girls for their first trip last summer. Looking forward to some good :corn::ale: with all of you!

Really, because I was going to head over to see that right after the I watched Steel Magnolias and the traveling pants of the yaya sisterhood or what ever heck it is.


Sorry I couldn't help myself. I would have to be in some serious trouble with the wife to go see that movie.

[TikiTwinsDad]

I've already made arrangements for my wife to see that movie with her parents (including her father, but I won't question his testosterone here - he's a foreman for the Electric Company and I'm just a lawyer). So, I'll be home with the kiddies instead. I got the much better deal there.

Glypnir - your daughter has wonderful taste in schools and vocations. I went to the University of Pennsylvania School School myself, but had a very, very hard time turning down my alma mater. Her picture shows she was practicing to be a Wahoo, a fish that can drink twice it's weight in water and unofficial mascot of UVA.

Grandbuddy - going back a few pages, your son has great taste in strollers. We have many, many similar pictures in front of the castle, the train station, spaceship earth, etc. with our Red Aria Twin stroller, the twins and us crouching down. We weren't there at Christmas (though that is coming in 2009).

[JimP]

Speaking of sports... I am a die hard Boston fan. I don't have a choice... any other action on my part... and DW will kick my butt.

[minniekissedme]

Calling all MODs. A friend of mine, John Atkinson, is going to be on the Mike and Mike radio/tv show sometime tomorrow. Some of you are familiar with his story. For those that aren't...

John is a 39 year old husband and father of three that was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer last year. Long story short, he won a contest thru Golf Digest to play golf at Torrey Pines prior to the US Open this year. He is playing TP on June 6th and the event will air on NBC on Father's Day prior to final round coverage of the Open. He is playing with Matt Lauer, Tony Romo, and Justin Timberlake.
Since being diagnosed, John has made lung cancer awareness his mission. You can read more about John in the current issue of Golf Digest or on golfdigest.com. It's a great story and hope you will keep John and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

DH ("Eric" here at MO) and I went to UVA (graduated in the late '80s): GO 'HOOS!! We actually travel down there a couple of times a year to watch the 'Hoos get trounced at football games.

It's good we've got wide representation for lots of teams here.

As far as women in movies, if you like the idea of an inquisitive psychic Russian dominatrix with a sword played by Kate Planchett, then watch the latest Indiana Jones movie. She did a good job with the role, but somehow that description doesn't exactly fit my dreams. :)

I found that the movie overall strained my credulity even more than the earlier ones did. I had to laugh at the rather unbelievable special effects.

What is Pennsylvania School School?

Also all new MODs, I was out shooting all day (BANG!) and I'llcatch up on MOD # assignments tomorrow. I assign them in order ofposts that request to be added. So anything from, "I'm in, add me, what's my number?, etc" will count. But if a new post doesn't ask to join, I don't assign a number.

The wx in Portland has been crappy... but then I looked out and saw a patch of blue.

I decided to leave the office early.... went across the street, fueled the plane... and spent an hour or so flying around. It clears the cobwebs in my brain.

[TikiTwinsDad]

Greenban - Errr...a school school for those who can't yet read my mind is a Law School. Yeah, Ivy league law school but apparently a lousy proofreader

Flying my own plane always clear my mind too. My plane is made by fischer price and designed for "little people" though.

[TikiTwinsDad]

Yesterday was a beautiful day here in Philly decided to take the day off and go to the zoo.

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn233/tikitwinsdad/DSC04065.jpg

Then it was off to see the first place phils bash the marlins later in the day. No kids on that trip yet. Still a little young for that. Seats were second row above visitor dugout, though. Awesome.

Hope everyone (MODs and non-MODs) has a great weekend.

[Grandbuddy]

Your evening and night start a little later than most of ours. I looked at the time you posted (CDT) and thought you were a night owl, until I looked and saw you're in Portland. Of course, I wouldn't even have noticed had Laxmom not brought to my attention that I could set the website clock to my time zone. Since I know she lurks here, I'll just go ahead and thank her.

And once again TTD, really cute kids. What's the ever-present rhinocerus about, if you don't mind my asking.

It is hotter than a $2 pistol here in LA (Lower Alabama)! Wife and I have been working out in the yard (a manly pursuit! But she's a good helper), and I am whipped. Took a tumble trying to get a huge vine out of a tree (it broke, of course, while I was pulling with all my late middle-age might), and thought I had hurt myself, for a minute. I think I'm going to feel like I've been in a wreck, but nothing seems broken or sprained.

Showered, and now to try to cool down.

Hope everybody's having a great day. Be careful, there's a lot of gravity out there, today.

[tomandrobin]

That's no Rhino, its a Dino from Animal Kingdom.

Notice the dino next to the snowman. We took this at NYE 2007.

Yes, there is a rhino and a dino. Myw ife & I love that dinosaur in AK. Always get a picture of him. Made of glass and concrete. Very cool if you study him. There's actually a baby dino and snake (we think) under neath him.

But, the rhino is from the AK Safari. My name is Ryan. I'm also a big guy. Everyone in college called me "Ryno" and still does 16 years later (I'm even bigger now). So, I have an affinity for rhinos.

The Rhino in my signature is actually made up of over 600 pictures from disney world and of the twins - using a mosaic making software. It's hard to tell because its "smooshed" in my signature.

Now you know.

Ok, now you are really moving up the Macho MOD chart. Making your own manly siggy of a rhino, with Disney World pics and pics of your Kids....WoW! Very impressive indeed! :worship:

Boy don't I feel inept!! :faint::faint: That's impressive.

[Grandbuddy]

when I figured out how to upload photos to photobucket. And when I figured out how to get the photos to show up in the messages! I felt like a tech guru.

I have impressed myself enough that I feel comfortable not trying to produce a mosaic elephant (for Alabama) from my photos. Good thing. I don't have that much longer to live! (I'm hoping for another 25 years, but that would not cover it.)

[I'mNoPrince]

Boy don't I feel inept!! :faint::faint: That's impressive.

Don't be .As they say it's all in the Tools .

I stumbled across a few free programs that did most of the work for you once you had the settings down. I never transfered them over to this Computer when my other one went down. I may have to look them back up and find them again.

[Mickeyfan0805]

OK - I work tomorrow, so I'm checking out for the night. But as I head up to bed for the remainder of the game with the score 2-1 for Detroit with 15 minutes left in the third I'll simply say...

GO WINGS!!!

[Holiday Road]

Yesterday was a beautiful day here in Philly decided to take the day off and go to the zoo.

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn233/tikitwinsdad/DSC04065.jpg

Then it was off to see the first place phils bash the marlins later in the day. No kids on that trip yet. Still a little young for that. Seats were second row above visitor dugout, though. Awesome.

Hope everyone (MODs and non-MODs) has a great weekend.


Such cute kids, are they identical?

I know I just couldn't help myself.

what I really need is a zerbert(?)...you know, a "strawberry" smilie!!!

I give credit where credit is due...Pens had their chances and didn't take advantage of them :smoke2: I'm not giving up yet.

[TikiTwinsDad]

It is all about the tools...I used a software program called AndreaMosaic but tried a couple others. It's pretty easy. It is slow, because it uses a lot of memory to do it, but if you play with the settings you can get some cool photomosaics. The program is here:

You'll also notice in the middle you'll see me & my wife wearing the blue waterproof suits featured in the the Pearl Harbor/Torpedo sequence in the Hollywood Studios backlot tour. I got to be the guy pointing and ducking from the planes. Now THAT is MOD-ly.

My fault..I should have never told the group I hate it when people ask if our twins are identical. I should have known, one of my college roommates said he always hated it when kids told him "to take his mask off, it's not halloween." So, naturally, we told him that at least once a day for 4 years... By the way, I hate it when people send me large, unmarked bills in the mail.

I was on edge through the end, the Pens had a lot of chances in the last few minutes but never got anything for it. It was a good game, and I don't ask for more than that (as opposed to the Pistons who just mailed in most of the series).

Happy Monday...off to fry some bacon this morning and trying to make an extra slab this afternoon. Then more little league tonite! I'll have to miss the Pens/Wings until late but as the announcer for the LL game, I'll be listening on the radio and keeping everyone tuned in!

Tiki...you're making me hit the treadmill this morning...thanks!:thumbsup:

Those pics are pretty cool. You got to be the Captain in Harbor Attack. That is MOD-ly. I myself, have started the wave at Fantasmic while holding a beer and not spilling it, which I believe also makes me very MOD-ly.

[Grandbuddy]

We are definitely a "Mod-ly Crew!"

[minniekissedme]

wow...no one posting...everyone watching the hockey game! Mickeyfan...are you alive???

It doesn't get better than the Stanley Cup Finals!

[Goofy Dad 13]

OK, I know I am behind, so here we go, sorry for any ommisions.

Greenban - thanks for the MOD #, much appriciated!

To all, especially HR, great pics. HR your daughter is lovely, My DD12 who will be 13 soon and another DD10, are growing up way too quick. DD10 is more of a tomboy, but it is amazing how much older DD12 looks with a bit of makeup and a nice dress. I am just glad she won't be dating until she is well out of school (HS, college, get a masters and a doctorate).

Great last minute goal for the Pens tonight!

[minniekissedme]

end of OT number one...whew..............

Can't believe someone didn't score in all of the action. Stay tuned...where's Mickeyfan?

[Grandbuddy]

Not much to add. Went bowling with the church youth group tonight, and just got in a few minutes ago.

If anybody has posted pics - Your kids are beautiful!!

(Just gotta keep digging at Ed. He can take it!)

Oh, and Tony says we were wrong about all the finger jokes. Apparently he doesn't make muppets out of us ordinary guys, after all.

[minniekissedme]

Two OT's and more to come...I can't go to bed now!

Go PENS!

[minniekissedme]

Injured Gonchar...to Malkin...to Sykora...

He shoots and SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

What a game...over 100 minutes of hockey and we're coming back to Pittsburgh for game 6!

[Holiday Road]

I watched part of the first OT but I couldn't hang on any longer. I thought this thing was over. I guess Detroit did too which is why we'll be watching again on Wednesday.

[minniekissedme]

We had DS11 little league last nite until 1015! BTW, he was unbelievable in shutting down the top of their lineup with a 7-6 lead. Their number two hitter smoked one over the fence his first time up...he was the first batter DS faced and got him to pop up in the infield. Struck out three of the five he faced in holding the lead and eventual W!! Their coach has been looking for a leader and he got his wish last nite! Proud of my baby!!! :dancingba

As we're driving home, we hear the score is now tied at 2. Almost immediately the Wings score to make it 3-2. DW turns off the radio..."I never should have turned it on" (I've taught them so well about the fear factor of the JINX) and we're all kinda bummin'. :boohoohoo

Get home turn on the HDTV and just counting down the end...it's over, it's over...DS7 is raggin' on me that it's not over and BAM, Talbot scores with 30 seconds left. :jumpingbe DS7 is screaming, "I told you it wasn't over!" Well by 11:30, I had to send them to bed! DS11 wanted to sleep in my bed so he could fall asleep watching the game...which forces dear old dad to the couch...but it was well worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bugeyed:

Think he'll remember that some day? I know I will!

[TikiTwinsDad]

I'm so Jealous that the Flyers aren't in the Cup final. Would have loved a nice triple OT thriller. Don't have the heart yet to watch it. Though, it could turn the series around. We'll see.

Starting the wave at Fantasmic is cool. Someon's got to do it. Why is their no pre-show or entertainment prior to Fantasmic. People wait their 90-120 minutes doing not much of anything.

Being the captain in Harbor Attack (for life of me couldn't think fo the name of it), isn't all it seems to be. Actually my tikitwinsmom and I generally hate that whole pre-show and the backlot tour, but we decided to check it out, on a trip (pre-twins). Ended up being the first people not allowed into the next show and TTM mouths off so our punishment was being in the show. I got wet, and a nice bruise on my hip from when I slipped on the boat "deck" but nothing else. They don't even record it.

I'm glad your son did so well last night but to be honest little league is out of control. This is the first time I'm hearing of these late night games it's ridiculous. I know kids that have been doing double headers to make up games quickly because they want to start the "Williamsport Team" as soon as possible so these kids are getting home from school and having to run right over to the park, play a double header when are they supposed to do their homework or eat supper? It's a little out of control. I am happy for your son though.

[Grandbuddy]

If offered, decline the honor of being the captain in the Harbor Attack.

[Mickeyfan0805]

wow...no one posting...everyone watching the hockey game! Mickeyfan...are you alive???

It doesn't get better than the Stanley Cup Finals!

Yep, I'm here! Actually checked off right around the time you got here MKM. At commercial, after the Wings put it up 3-2 I went up to watch the rest of the game in bed - only to spend hours in bed watching the game!! Not please with the result, and not happy about how the Wings couldn't close it out, but WHAT A GAME!! Wow! Now that was fun to watch!

As you said, credit where credit is due - the Pens did a good job on tired legs with a number of young players. They earned that win. :cheers2:

Great game for DS, and yes he will remember. I remember the nights I would get to stay up for a big game, or when there was a James bond movie on Sunday night.

I know the the JINX factor well, though the rest of my family doesn't beleive in it.:holymoly:

[bruinfan]

There is NOTHING like OT in playoff hockey!

[bruinfan]

I'm glad your son did so well last night but to be honest little league is out of control. This is the first time I'm hearing of these late night games it's ridiculous.We have never had a problem with the late night Little League games because our league and our town can't afford lights: no new inning after 7:30! Indoor soccer over the winter is another story (Under 10 girls teams starting at 8:15PM on a Sunday night and the place is a good 25 minutes from home).

Oh trust me...the politics of LL baseball is just ridiculous and unfortunately it starts long before this. I'm not bragging but DS is one of the top five 11 year olds in the league. They beg for him to play tournament ball but he doesn't want to because it takes up two thirds of summer. There are other things to do and the parents can be quite the a$$e$ about it all. I'm glad we cannot give the commitment they ask for and the simple fact that DS doesn't want to either. Soon enough he will and he'll be fine...especially when he pitches like last nite!

My first trip to Disney was in 1976 as a child but did not go back until 1995 when I proposed to DW in front of MK Castle. In 2004 and had fun being under 24 hr lockdown at CBR during hurricane Jean (boy I wished we had DVC then) Then in 2006 offsite which made on want to stay back onsite. This year we purchased SSR in Feb and took first trip home a few weeks ago in May and have already booked middle of December at OKW. Looking forward to many MOD talks and maybe organized meeting at WDW.

OK, I'd like to submit my application.

I'm a MouseOwning Dad with a Daughter (Katelyn a.k.a. Katiebug) who made it to WDW as many times before she turned two (three trips from first birthday to 22 months old) than Daddy did before he turned 25 (1985, 1992, and 1995 for me).

I'll post pictures and read twelve more pages of posts sometime in the near future.

P.S.--I'm confused with kid counts on a lot of fronts, especially Tony's roster. Some of the multi-kid MODs are either blending together or I lose track of the number of children mentioned in posts and/or pictured in photos. I'll do my best to sort this out in the next few days as well. In a manly way...while drinking Yeungling, of course.

I would like to extend a welcome to our newest MODS, cincinmouse, aamove and handa, you first have to see the frog doctor to pass your MOD physical and receive your official MOD number. After that you are then official MODS with all of the glory and responsibility that comes with that. Once again nice looking families, it's amazing how that works MODS only have good looking kids.

Now that Hockey season is officially done, when can we move on to Football!!

Oh, we can do that anytime. I have been a gridiron coach for about 20 years. This season I landed one of my top dream jobs. Some people would be surprised that my dream job is what it is but it's what I want to do. We got some football types on here. Grandbuddy is a Big 'Bama fan, as am I, Roll Tide. I also love other college programs as well. The college game is my favorite level of football. I Coach High School ball. I like the NFL which as most of you know stands for the Non Fundamental League but pro ball is pro ball. Heck I'll even go to a Pop Warner game a couple times a year. Last year I went to my my first women's semi-pro football game, interesting. You want to talk football movies, history or anything else I'm in.

I would like to extend a welcome to our newest MODS, cincinmouse, aamove and handa, you first have to see the frog doctor to pass your MOD physical and receive your official MOD number. After that you are then official MODS with all of the glory and responsibility that comes with that. Once again nice looking families, it's amazing how that works MODS only have good looking kids.

The exam is really not too painful... except of course when he puts those darn rubber gloves on.

:Pokepoke: :horse:

When I grow up, I want to be Grandbuddy.

I haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up. Heck, I haven't decided whether or not I want to grow up!

How often is often in a week???


Depends on whether you're having a beer or a root canal?

Did somebody say beer?

Often in a week.

Cincinmouse, Aamove, and Handa :welcome:

Did someone say football?

Go Steelers!!!

Go Bears!!!!!

[Mickeyfan0805]

Now that Hockey season is officially done, when can we move on to Football!!

Not until October when the Cubbies have won the WS!!!!

Seriously, the CUBS have the best record in baseball, the RAYS aren't far behind, and the YANKEES are dwelling near the bottom of their division. It is official, CNN reported that Satan ordered a parka from Gander Mountain first thing this morning. :brrrrrr::brrrrrr::brrrrrr:

And, I think we ALL want to be like GB when we grow up, :thumbsup: only with Tony's points :bowdown: (just not his job)! :yuck:

[Mickeyfan0805]

And, by the way, since we're going there already...

Cincinmouse, Aamove, and Handa :welcome:

I will Just go with this One

[TikiTwinsDad]

Let's not forget the NL-East leading Phillies (a much tougher division than the NL Central), and of course

E-A-G-L-E-S-Eagles!

I'd throw in a chorus of the University of Virginia Good Ol' Song for my alma mater, but hardly seems worth it until we begin to excel in anything (other than academics, of course).

You can all stop and pay homage to thee Super Bowl Champion and arguably thee finest decade(s) of dominance the NFL has ever seen...

Hi,

I want to join the MOD squad. My name is Jim, I am the proud Disney Dad of DD7 our only child and the only grandchild on my side of the family (can you say a little spoiled), lol. Proud and loving MOH to my DW named Laura, who loves going to Disney also.

Proud owner of 920 DVC points. Started with 350 at SSR after first trip to POR in 2004 and loved going to Disney. Bought resale of 270 at VWL to stay in Nov/Dec, and 150 at BCV so we could try out SAB when DD gets older. Then did an add-on of 150 at AKV. We have been going to Disney twice a year since we have joined, one trip in the summer and one in Nov/Dec. Last summer we even did a Disney 3-day cruise with a DVC stay before and after.

We are just waiting for our trip during Christmas/New Years this year and thinking about maybe going this summer since all we need to buy is gas to get there and food since we all have AP's.

Awaiting entry into MOD squad,

Jim.
