Funny things people ask at CP

"I don't come to McDonald's and scream in your ear when you're working."

I take it you screamed in one of their ears?

And why would anyone need to fly from Sandusky to Cuyahoga Falls?

On IMDB.com, they note that:

"Plot holes: The distance between Sandusky, Ohio, and Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, is 65 miles -- making Michelle's flight home illogical"

Its funny that they also note this:

"Factual errors: Throughout the movie it is implied that Sandusky relies only on various factories for its economy. However, Sandusky is home to Cedar Point, one of the most popular amusement parks in the world, which brings in lots of tourism to the area."

The airport is on Cleveland rd. by all those motels.

One of my friends thought that GL was in Huron. We were driving on the highway thru huron and she seemed to get Aurora and huron mixed up, and she looked at the water tower that said "HURON" and assumed that. Talk about a big brain fart!!

Right next to the old drive-in movie theatre... which has now been demolished!

No, but I did watch some fat emo wanna be tough-guy do it. It was kinda funny, and I give the screamster major thumbs up for standing up for himself. The emo kid was being a complete prick and was pissed because he got scared.

And what part of him being an "emo kid" is relevant?

^^Those are usually the type to do that....actually, there is no type. Everyone does that.

But I am glad the Screamster had a good comeback. They put up with a lot of crap night after night.

Quite a bit because his mascara was running. It added to the whole wanna-be tough guy image...it was really quite funny.

June 2007: Waiting in line for WT when it went down. There was a whole group of teenagers (probably 13-14 year olds...about 10 or 15 of them in front of me). When the launch failed, one of them said, "What happened?"

My friend, without missing a beat, says, " This launch is powered by hydraulics, and it sounded like a hydraulic hose blew. If they have an extra one it might take an hour or two to fix it. If they don't have one, it probably will be down the rest of the day."

"How do you know that?" the girl asked.

"I used to work here" he says.

And the whole group and some other people leave to go ride Raptor. My friend (who, by the way, had never even been to the park before in his life) looks and me and says "That worked better than I thought it would!"

In less than fifteen minutes we were riding in the front row! Priceless!

Most importantly, the eyeliner that ran down his cheeks when he got so pissed he was crying.

I'm not sure I would call him an "emo kid" though, aside from the make up. He put himself on as more like a wannabe tough guy.

And I'm not sure what was up with the giant number he had written on the back of his head in sharpie was, either.

^ Nothing made me happier than when that kid cried. Apparently being called a McDonald's employee is very upsetting to him. Although to be honest, I thought it was a girl. Sometimes you can never tell with those emo kids.

Admitting a little naivete here, I just figured out what you mean by emo. Marilyn Manson graduated from my high school ya know. ;)

The term "emo" has been bastardized to mean a lot of different things. Back in the day it was just sub-genre of punk music.

My point is that it's asinine to associate one person's actions with a group of people as if to suggest that it's typical of that group. You might as well have said he was black or Jewish.

Wanting to neatly categorize everyone annoys me.

Since the Demon Drop has been For Sale a Long time now they should send it to Kalahari because there has been so many people at that resort all through the yrs. It will come out of CP and there will be land for a Thrill Ride at the Park.

I dunno, Jeff. I thought you did a primo job neatly categorizing everyone who had issues with Geauga Lake's closing. We were all conspiracy theorists and idiots, I believe.

Oh, I completely agree and understand about the old subcultre of emo music. That's not really where that categorization comes in to play anymore though. Kids have warped it so that their music defines them, and the "title" they assign themselves almost always corresponds to a hobby or something they enjoy.

It's the same thing as kids classifying themselves as "skaters, punks, badrats, geeks, jocks" etc..

The problem with the current rush of "emo" kids, is that the music they're listening to sounds nothing like the hardcore-punk influenced emo of the 80's.

In any case, I'm not sure why I got off on a music discussion, but that Screamster thing was hilarious. I felt bad for him, though - they screamed pretty loudly in his ear.

Some go as far as to wear earplugs because of the amount of times that happens in a night.

Oh yeah, that's just the same as pigeonholing people based on fashion sense, race or religion. You really got me there.

Well, not really. I realized that this morning re-reading the thread. Sometimes logic after midnight and in the morning are two different things.

I withdraw the complaint.

Logic after midnight, Computin till the dawn
Confusing till the morning, then Mike's gone, he's gone.
