A ride with Mr. Skyward

Well I couldn't believe it, power riding raptor almost ready too call it a night and none other the Mr. skyward walks into the raptor line right in front of me.  It's in the bag I am riding with Mr. skyward.  We sit down I ask him what his favorite ride is and get "there all good,  ah millennium force is my favorite though".  The ride itself normal, no words spoken by Mr. skyward. Then again I was laughing too. As we are on the brake run girls are screaming as they did the whole ride, and what from his mouth comes "shut up back there" more screaming and "shut up back there" again.  Then I ran like Hell got the photo and kept riding.   For the proof click my info and see the picture of him and I.  Of course I had too do the skyward time check.

This second hill is my favorite part of the ride. It is so Cool!

Aww Hooper! We missed out on that..I knew we should have gone and ridden the big green thing with you. I'm glad you saw him..and I think that's awesome that he can carry on a conversation. Did you remember to ask him what time it was?
-----------------
Excuse me, Mr.Skyward, do you happen to know what time it is?

Hooper, only you could pull off something like that. Congrats and a great pic.

Haha, that kind of reminds me of the time when there were a bunch of kids doing some kind of chant (ebonics?) during one of our rides during the Gemini 100.  Anyway, Raptor Jo exclaims, "Shut the %^&* up!"  I was still laughing about that three rides later.  I wanted to tell them the same thing, but I didn't have the nerve. :)  Everytime my girlfriend and I were riding later in the season and someone was saying/doing something stupid, we always said, "Where's Raptor Jo when you need her?" :)

It was Millennium Mania. MF was down so I was doing the power VertiGo riding when who gets in line?? Mr. Skyward.

I walk right up to him, extend my hand and say "Hi.. I'm Rob.. I see you in teh park all the time how are you doing?"

He said fine and shook my hand. Told me his name was John and he lived in Sandusky... He reminded me ALOT of Milton from the movie "Office Space".

It was weird... ever since then, when he see's me he waves now and then and has said "hello" to me a few times now and then.

I recognize the man. I was only in the park once this summer (it's a long way from California) and he was in line behind us at MF.  There was much commentary at the time in the group on the gentleman's appearance and demeanor (all flattering).
