I found this picture from about 2 or 3 years ago and it got my creative juices flowing (some kind of juice always seems to be flowing out of me). Back in my youth, my siblings and good friends used to make an annual trip to Disneyland and I feel like we always planned something funny for our Splash Mountain picture. This particular picture (which features, from front to back: me, my sister Erica, my brother's girlfriend Tina, my brother Robert, a random faceless person and another random person who I'll guess is named Anthony) was planned at the last minute, if I recall correctly. And considering that, I think it came out pretty good.But I remember doing some fun ones back in the day. One that comes to mind was when we did the symbols to the 2ge+her song U + Me = Us (Calculus). The person in the front pointed forward as if to say "you"; next person made a plus sign with their arms; next person pointed at themselves to say "me"; next person made an equal sign w/ their arms; last person hugged themselves to say "us". We thought we were hilarious, maybe we weren't I don't know. I remember one time I made a monkey face or something like that, and apparently it looked like I was spitting because our picture was "washed away". It never showed up and when we asked about it, they said it was because I was spitting over the edge and that I could get kicked out of the park for that. I went home crying.
But back to the original point, I've decided the time has come to come up with the funniest, most original Splash Mountain picture EVER. I have no idea what that is yet, but it's my new project and I'm sure if I have a good enough idea, I could get my siblings and some friends to pay for a fun day at Disneyland that includes a visit to Splash Mountain to accomplish the goal. Please feel free to comment and share funny things you've done on Splash Mountian (or other picture-taking rides); pictures are a plus! Obviously I'm not gonna steal your ideas, I just want to make sure I don't do something that's already been done.
I did some peeking around the web for random Splash Mountain facts and was amused to discover that there are sites devoted to women who flash the camera on their way down the mountain in a phenomenon known as "Flash Mountain". But I'm at work and can't look at sites of this nature, so I don't know what's legit and what's not. I wonder if the Disneyland people get mad when guys flash their nips at the camera?
Well hopefully you can check back here in the coming weeks or months and see the finished product. Or this motiviation will pass and I won't even go to Disneyland for another 6 years and you'll never see the picture, it'll be one or the other.
This is the only picture I can still find. I've searched high and low for all our other ones, but to no avail. We definitely need to go to Disneyland and do another one. I have no ideas right now, but we'll figure something out.
ReplyDeleteSo I was just clicking on random labels and reading your old blogs....they're pretty funny...like this one! I forgot that you used to just write without videos. You should do more! I mean, I love your videos too, but you can totally do both.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks. Yeah I keep thinking I want to just write posts again but that's a lot more difficult a task for me than making and posting a video. I'll get around to it one of these days. :) Thanks for the encouragement!
