What do you mean 50 years ago?

Or Flagstaff, Arizona, in August.

One more thought — A TRADITIONAL WEDDING CEREMONY IS MEANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE SOMETIMES YOUR RELATIONSHIP WILL SUCK. That's why you promise to love and live with the person even if you get sicker or poorer, or things get all-around worse. I know we've all heard those words so often we don't quite register what they mean,…

Dear Close Friend,

When I saw the phrase "shadow wedding," here are some things I thought it might refer to before I clicked through to read this post:

Narcissism. I know that deriding people for thinking they are "special, little snowflakes" is a bit passe, but, here, I think the phrase fits.

If there is a hell, I bet it is a dry shadow wedding located in Eastern Colorado during winter.

This is one of.. two of.. the reasons I ride the front car of a coaster if there is any possible way I can.

I would tell people that I lost my fingers to pirates if this happened to me.

And I thought I was traumatized from the one time I've been on this ride and it broke down in the 'yo ho ho and a bottle of rum' part for over an hour. I heard that damn song in my sleep for the next month, but at least I still have all my physical pieces.

jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick!

I warn you, if that song gets stuck in my head like the original does, I will see you damned to hell (which is probably being on an internal loop of the Small World ride).

Ha! I'm also a ride operator (not Disneyland tho) and it's amazing what little common sense people have. Like people reaching out of their seats to grab the frame of the moving Ferris wheel - do you want a broken arm? And they always seem surprised that I can see them breaking the rules....

I think it was just the skin off the top and he wasn't going to bleed out. Not dying, you're all good buddy.

I KNOW! I guess since it was a couple of fingertips it wasn't life threatening? But no way would that not be an emergency situation if it were *my* fingertips. Dear god.

Idiots like him are why they had to put doors on the goddamned trams.

How is losing body parts considered a non-emergency situation.

I will take advantage of any opportunity to make Dead Milkmen references.

You gotta know that stuff is going to fall out of your pockets on these rides! When I go to the amusement park, my collection of fingertips stays safely in little jars at home.

It's a small digit after all
