I've seen the Beach Boys, well some of them, and the Temptations, well some of them, and I narrowly missed the Goo Goo Dolls (not sure how many of them there were in the 60s). I've been to a Mary Kay convention and to a Scottish Country Dancing event in California. I've seen the Blackpool Tower. I've even been to Yonge and Eglinton. You see, life in computer sales is just like living permanently in the ballroom at the Holiday Inn Tulsa (West). I know lame, me. You can't teach me lame.

I haven't been to any of theses places with the children, my logic being that there's no need for them to go on a fake log ride with tit flashing white trash when we're in an empty country where there are real rivers, they can go on a real river ride and keep their shirts on if they want. But then, I didn't take them to McDonalds or Wal-Mart either, I'm just not very corporate.

As I also said, I've been to Wild Water Kingdom and it's just OK. Doesn't get great reviews on tripadvisor.com either.

So what's the crusade? Seems to me that bashing somewhere you haven't actually been to is more indicative of a crusade. Pretty ironic coming from the guy who recently laughed at me for making a comment about Canada simply because I don't currently live there!

Had not heard of the Hoppings. Certainly looks authentic.
