RALFFERS 0 #1 May 18, 2008 Made it here without a hitch - well, moms got a speeding ticket. Got here in 8 hours though Looks like they're really strict in Canada. Have great weather; having a blast - got great pictures I'll post when I'm back in Chicago. Hopefully, I won't get any tickets on my turn to drive back home. I was flamed here a few times for my bad driving habits as for where they come from look no further than my mother… She was going up to 110. Ok, typing on my phone is hurting my fingers.

cocheese 0 #8 May 18, 2008 Should have swooped the falls.Man, a canpoy swoop over the falls.... i think i would be so scared. Might be turbulant air. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #9 May 18, 2008 some time ago there was a forum post, of Just That... i believe it was a photshopped image combining the Falls, and a canopy swoop.... One time,,,,a bunch of us , from our club, who were bored during a cloudy and drizzly day, DID head over there, for the "Niagara River Jet Boat Ride"... ( different from the "Maid of the Mist" excursion) It was a BLAST..... 40 or 50 people, in an open deck boat, which had some REAL Horses... and could drive upstream, no problem.... Amazingly the waves in that river are 4 and 5 feet in height, and the boats get swamped,, every few minutes... then the water drains away.. we had been encouraged to bring a change of clothes, as the ponchos which they issued, mostly helped to KEEP our clothes,, soaking wet!!!! hahaha... The drivers/pilots are good !!!,,, and took us right up to the waterfalls whirlpool.... Noisy, energetic, fun and memorable... ( Hey i once had a girlfriend like that !!!.....) as for swooping the falls.... maybeeee...... Once... jimmytavino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hooked 0 #11 May 19, 2008 I'll be in Niagara Falls area the start of next month. We plan on taking the JetDome ride. Probably not as thrilling as the JetBoat, but we'll be drier! Can't wait to see any pictures that might be posted. -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

After that, I showed them "Who's on First". They laughed at both clips.

jimmytavino 16 #22 May 19, 2008 hahaha... great !!! thanks... while i did know of that phrase, and learned that it was from the 3 Stooges, I don't think i EVER saw it !!! start to finish.. ... we were 5 kids all within 6 years, 4 boys and then our sister, and while we grew up in the age of B & W television, and luckily lived within antenna reception of N Y C .....we were NOT allowed to watch the 3 stooges....You've heard of Parental Oversight of TV Viewing ???? ... well our MOM had that stuff dialed in, Forty Five years ago !!!... we also could not watch that innocent Little Jay North....as he played dennis the menace.....No deal... at our home... I think my folks , both, knew we were pretty quick to catch onto things, and would be running around smacking each other, or poking eyes, or setting off explosives!!!! of one form or another... More than we usually did..... So.. how cool is it to see that piece??? here and now for the first time??? skymama,,, you did for me,, what my own Mama, would not allow....you have my graditude.....and I promise,, I WON"T go hitting anybody......ps youtube rox jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #23 May 19, 2008 Back in the dark ages when there wasn't any cable, the old B&W shows were the only thing on besides church programs or the news on Sunday mornings. I grew up watching Three Stooges, Little Rascals, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, and Shirley Temple. I'm sure the kids today think those shows are lame, but my brothers and I got quite a few laughs watching those shows while sitting in our jammies and eating our cereal.
