Thoughts From...

Another one of my forays into The Brunching Shuttlecock's lexicon of features, here we have Thoughts From, a view into the slightly sub-conscience thoughts that spring to mind during the day.

The Ski Resort | The Water Park

The 51's game during Mayor Oscar Goodman bobble-head night

This is the stadium? This is possibly the least baseball-stadium-like structure I have ever seen, and I live in Las Vegas.

This line is huge. What kind of people come to a baseball game for Oscar Goodman bobble-heads? Besides me that is.

You're going back for more? But won't some little boy be disappointed that they just gave away the last bobble-head? Think of the children man!

Misters are possibly the least functional product in existence.

There's an ad for a crime scene clean-up service in center field. That disturbs me.

I always cheer for the person throwing the first pitch, even if it's some guy from American Family insurance. My hope is to build up enough first-pitch-cheer-karma for if I ever get to do it.

Wait, there's a second first pitch? Why have two first pitches?

Must keep track of mascot. Must not let him sneak up behind me.

There are three white squares scattered over the outfield fence that serve no discernable purpose.

The announcer seems to be having trouble with last names. And it's not even for the hard to pronounce ones, it's for ones like "Miller." Maybe it's for effect.

It's true, hot dogs do taste better at ball parks.

Okay, the fireworks show is over. Wait, now it's over.  No,  wait......

The Ski Resort

Oh, that it were not beneath me to wear electric socks.

Why do they have to slow down the lift so much? Is it too hard for some people to sit down?

Is it just me, or does snow never actually come down in flakes?

Why do companies find it necessary to misspell the names of their products?

Why are these things always built directly over rocky outcrops?

How many lives have been saved by the little bar that you pull down?

Is it really crucial to have both color and shape to denote the difficulty of a run?  Why don’t they just do green, blue, black, or circle, square, diamond?

One of these days I’m gonna bring a Super-Soaker and wail on everybody below me.

Stupid chairlift, it stopped and I’m not even in the bouncy middle.

Should I ask this guy if he wants to pull down the bar?  It looks like he doesn’t want to but he has a kid.  But wouldn’t he asked me then?  Does the kid want the bar down but just not the dad?  My feet are killing me.

Why do people stick stickers to the pole?

Rope tows are cool.  They should have them for all the lifts.

The Water Park

I'm gonna go on the steep slide this time, I really am. I'm gonna go on the rapids, then some volleyball, maybe some tanning, but then I'm gonna go on it.

This is a wave pool? I've seen bigger waves in a shower.

They make you pay for filling up water balloons? Are they going to charge us for individual slide rides?

Hey, did they just paint the roller coaster over at the Sahara? I could have sworn it was red five days ago.

How come each slide has a different way to lie while riding? I'm gonna mix them up and see if anyone notices.

I'm never not buying a tube again.

A kid crapped in the pool?!?! Pee I could understand, but actually take a dump?

They should build a kiddie park pool for adults. I'd go.

What kind of life does a man live that would posses him to make this ride? Did he spend a lot of time in the bathroom?

Why did this guy ask if I wanted to be pulled? It's called the Lazy River for a reason.

There's a definite hierarchy in the Lazy River. The people on tubes are the upper class and the people just floating are the lower class.....I don't like the way they're looking at me. Maybe I won't come in with the tube next time.

Uh-oh. The wrist-band for getting back my deposit for the tube is coming off. Will they except it if it's broken?

Wow. That is steep.
