Crazy things you hear while waiting in line...

While I was in line for Cornstalkers tonight some guy in front of us thought daylight savings time was tonight and that it took effect at midnight.

Years ago, proudly sporting my newly acquired Point Buzz t-shirt that said "Magnum is sinking". Guys behind me whispering is "is that true? I've heard about that!"

Just doing my part to confuse the masses.

~wondering where that shirt ended up~

Was waiting in the queue for Eternity Infirmary this past Sunday. A gentleman behind me was talking to his party about Maverick. We were near the pond and he looked at this part of the track (where the heartline roll was originally) and made the case that that piece of track was fake because there's no way the train could make that maneuver:

Needless to say, he was proved wrong 30 seconds later.

This wasn't at cedar point and it wasn't while I was waiting in line, but while I was on the lift hill for the bat at kings island, some kid with a southern drawal was talking about how the ride was similar to the rougarou.

I spent the whole ride wondering how someone could think two completely different rides are similar just because of the track color.

You'd be surprised to hear how those same people talk about cars.

Tangent:

Customer: Hi, I think I lost my keys in the theater.
Employee: What kind of car were they for?
Customer: Oh, um. A silver one.

They both have wheels, hills and seats....?

I heard a kid talking about how when she was taking her driver's test she was filling in the paperwork at the desk and the cop asked what was the make of the car that she was going to use for the test and she replied, "a silver Ford". Then apparently when they went out to do the test the cop corrected the girl and told her it was a Chevy. Then as the girl continued to tell the story she was complaining by saying things like "I thought it was a Ford" and "How am I suppose to know, I'm not a car person."
I understand that some people aren't car people and don't know a lot about cars, but I have to put my palm in my face when I hear that people don't even know the make of their own car.

I know a lot about cars.

I can look at the headlights, and tell you which way it's comin'

The dark blue Dodgem cars are the best!

See, color does matter.

Racist.

Ouch... now I'm feeling blue.

Dark blue? or just light blue?

I remember the first time I watched that music video like last year. I was always familiar with the so g but the first time i watched the video I watched it like 5 times in a row because it cracked me up.

Going off on a tangent: recently had a young woman come into the box office and ask: "Where is the whale hall?" As I was trying to think up a way to politely say, "Um, what?", she clarified: "My mother told me to pick up my tickets in the whale hall." Somewhere along the line between mother and daughter, "will call" had morphed into "whale hall." (She's been memorialized with a sign over our side of the box office window proclaiming "This is whale hall!")

I used to be able to tell the make of a car coming by the headlights and running lights in the dark but now they all look the same. Big, metal jelly beans...I don't care much for jelly beans.

I was getting a stereo put in a car years ago and at the counter the guys were all laughing and speculating about the car that would be coming in after mine because the appointment was made for a "Ford Monte Carlo". I didn't hang around to see what it actually was.

That's why I went with my 2014 Mazda 3. The redesign is amazing, and very unique.

There have been a few that have come along with similar styling in the last year, but it's still one of the best looking cars I've seen in a long time.

Last night at Halloweekends, two different instances.

First: while in line at Slaughterhouse, I heard a guy (talking on his cell phone to someone else at the park) saying that he was in line for the slaughter path and then they were going over to the "cornfield".

The other: one girl by the gazebo in Frontiertown asking another girl next to her "which way is it to Frontierland? The other girl said "I don't know, maybe that way" pointing toward the direction of the Gemini midway. Funny stuff.

There's a difference between not knowing the names and area of the park very well and crazy things you hear.
