Weirdness Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Was wondering if anyone would be into getting a group rate at Canada's Wonderland at some point this summer, a skank spunyan funland day type thing. Thinking sometime in August, either the weekend of the 4th, 20th or 27th or even sometime early September. Anyways, if you're interested speak up and I'll find out how many people we need to get a better deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 you cant call it annual if its the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 man...this came up at work the other Day. Ollie and my friend Randy from work were talking about setting something like this up. Being in Ottawa and so close to Montreal, I suggested La Ronde.I think a group pack at one or both of these places would be a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdness Posted June 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Yes, you can use the word annual even if it is the first one. The idea is that we get together once a year, using the word annual implies that the event be held on a yearly basis. If there should be a second annual, then the first year is then to be called what? See below."an·nu·al ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ny-l)adj. Recurring, done, or performed every year; yearly: an annual medical examination. Of, relating to, or determined by a year: an annual income. Botany. Living or growing for only one year or season." ie. the first year in which you earn a wage is still called your "annual" income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdness Posted June 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 If there isn't one next year, then I suppose it was a shit idea. Just throwing it out there to see if there is any interest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 nerd n. 1. [mainstream slang] Pejorative applied to anyone with an above-average IQ and few gifts at small talk and ordinary social rituals. 2. [jargon] Term of praise applied (in conscious ironic reference to sense 1) to someone who knows what's really important and interesting and doesn't care to be distracted by trivial chatter and silly status games. Compare geek. The word itself appears to derive from the lines "And then, just to show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo / And Bring Back an It-Kutch, a Preep and a Proo, / A Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker, too!" in the Dr. Seuss book "If I Ran the Zoo" (1950). (The spellings `nurd' and `gnurd' also used to be current at MIT, where `nurd' is reported from as far back as 1957.) How it developed its mainstream meaning is unclear, but sense 1 seems to have entered mass culture in the early 1970s (there are reports that in the mid-1960s it meant roughly "annoying misfit" without the connotation of intelligence). An IEEE Spectrum article (4/95, page 16) once derived `nerd' in its variant form `knurd' from the word `drunk' backwards, but this bears all the hallmarks of a bogus folk etymology. Hackers developed sense 2 in self-defense perhaps ten years later, and some actually wear "Nerd Pride" buttons, only half as a joke. At MIT one can find not only buttons but (what else?) pocket protectors bearing the slogan and the MIT seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I *HIGHly* suggest smoking some contraband right before going on the 3D Spongebob Squarepants movie ride. You won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 We got season's passes for us and the kids, so anytime works for us. And yes, the Spongebob flic has to be taken in in a seriously pharmacologically enhanced state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Hahaha! That was super freaky Guigs! But I'm sure our wide-eyed grins freaked out a few parents as well. What a weird medley that was. Shania...Elvis...Spongebob. Jesus! Poison in Wonderland is a great idea. I don't think I could handle it any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaidy Mae Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Oh my God! I was terrified. I can't believe you stayed on it for over half an hour. You're nuts! Even more terrifying was being all alone and thinking that I'd lost you all forever. Next time I'll just further "medicate" and tag along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aromatherapy Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I've been trying to round up some folks for a Wonderland trip for a little while now... as long as the dates end up working for me, I'm in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 The water park is probably my favourite bit there, especially with the sort of days we've been seeing. I think it's almost as good as La Ronde's, but then at the latter we were dosed and followed it up with a Santana show, so it's really hard to say.

Large Marge Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Chin chin, I'd be in! I can get discounted tix through work... need to order at least a week in advance. $38 versus the ludicrous $56 they now charge at the gate. Do they still have Kingswood Concerts? Is Steve Miller still alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
