Nothing except that AznAbyss86 claimed he was the "Blackest Asian in Maryland."

Unfortunately our crack team of moderators deleted the thread.
 
I'm back!

It was tons of fun!

On the way down, my bro was following us(we were in the MPV, he was in his MX-6)and were on this hyway 54 which goes right to the ozarks, barely any traffic, and my dad decides to play tricks on my bro, so first, my dad speeds up to about 95, and my bro does the same, and we slow back to about 85, and then my dad just floors it, were going 105, and my bro passes us and shows off, so then my dad slows down to 85 again, and now my bro is ahead of us, and he doesn't know where the hell he's going, so he starts slowing down to let us pass him, but my dad just slows down too, and we slow down to about 45, were laughing, and my bro is panicing and then we fly past him and we get to the hotel...

The hotel...a Baymont Inn, nice place, but the TVs suck! They are bottom of the line(but new) 25" Zeniths, mono, no RCA plugs, no menu to adjust colors and stuff, so PS2 became PSPOO, GT3 was almost too horrificly annoying to play, with the colors way too dark, and a loud crackling sound came out when the TV was over run with many different sounds and had to(and failed to)push them through a single sub adiquit speaker. GTA3 was the same for the most part. But there's an up side, they had upgraded cable, so we got Speed, all of the discovery channels, Court TV, and some channels, although they sucked, that we don't get on Dish. But is it just me, or did Speed become almost totally Nascar over the past week? Almost everytime I put it on Speed, Nascar junk was on...

Anyhoo, we played Skeeball on the strip a lot, got 1408 tickets, and turned them in for a wooden truck(1400 tickets)and a bouncy ball(8 tickets)...

Bumpercars are next door, and the first time I go on them, I get the slowest one, and stuggle to hit anyone and I got hit a lot...then we go again on Wednesday, and I grabed an awsomely fast car, and I'm slamming everyone, mostly my dad(who later, after being hit by my mom, released a "horn fart" by lifting up and letting go...).

Me and my bro went on 2 different go carts, one was Nascarts(we went on these the last time we were there, they don't look like Nascars at all...)and I spun my bro out, and he had to bounce off the walls to get going the right way, and then on the last lap, my bro spins me out, and I slam hard into the wall hard, spin around, and try to get going the right way but I couldn't, and they had to send someone out for me and got me turned around...the second place was this Castle Rock thingy on the way to the strip, the go carts were terrible...bumpy, loud, hurt arms, the carts were beat up and falling apart, and the track was layed out retardedly...

I also bought 2 1/18th scale cars, both Maisto, and both very cheap. The first one is a Mercedes C-Klasse Sportscoupe, very cool. The second is a Panel Cruiser(yes I know, but I have big plans to mod it...)which is cool, but needs some suping up...

Umm....that was about it...any questions?
 
Ohh, and there's not many Mazdas around in the Ozarks...

the ones I saw were several Miatas, several 626s, a MP5, some Tributes, some MPVs, and on the way home, I saw a Millenia with a roof top carrier straped to the roof, over the sun roof, and not on any kind of roof rack...
 
Thank you RUF...

Nice to be back at GTP...I missed this place! :cry: *tears of happyness*
 
MazKid: Check out that link I posted.

Sounds like you broke your hotel TV. They're going to send you a bill for $200! :lol:
 
M5, nope, I didn't break the TV...I tryied it in my parents room(we got connecting rooms...)and it sounded the same...

The only thing I broke was the office chair....first off, the chair in me and my bro's room was broken, so we switched it with my parents' chair, and then on thursday I was playing around on the chair(spinning really fast, leaning it back as far as it would go, going up and down, and jumping the chair)and it stoped leaning back, so I flip it over, look underneath, and everything looked ok, so I try to force it to go back, and then I pulled as hard as I could up on the lever(that makes it go up and down)and it snapped and is now dangling...

The lever has a metal piece that lifts up a tab on the air chamber, I managed to push the metal piece past the tab, so now it only pushes down on the tab, which does nothing at all...
 
ohh and I did check out the link...pretty cool Cosmo there...too bad I don't have 18K or means to get it up here...
 
Sounds like you had a great trip! Welcome back! :D
 
Yea I had a great time...this was by far the best vacation to the Ozarks that I've ever had(I've gone about 5 times at least...).

This place sounds crappy - or perhaps it was only crappy after you stayed there and broke all their furniture. :D

Yeah - that Cosmo sounds like a pretty sweet deal; some real Mazda enthusiast is going to have himself a time when he gets it!
 
The hotel was really nice, just the TVs sucked...they bought the cheapest ones they could...

And I only broke the chair...I left plenty of furnature that coulda been broken...
 
The worst hotel I've stayed at was down in St. Petersburg Fl....they had a bar there, and everynight, people would be screaming, loud music, knocking on random doors, it was just like the Scum of the Earth Inn...we stayed there for 1 night and went to a much better hotel(the one that we went to had a refridgerator, Microwave, oven, it was awsome). That was in '93, so I don't remember everything...

Then there's Knight's Inn...we stayed at the one in Columbus Oh, first off, we asked for joining rooms(just like what we had at the Baymont in the Ozarks), and we go into our rooms..."Where the hell is the door?" There was no door. They didn't connect at all. So then we go up to the front desk, where we are met by several people from India, all have the worst accents, and they explain to us that connecting means that they are next to eachother, and that they haven't heard of anywhere having rooms that connect. So then we said ok...we go back to the rooms, there's holes in the walls, sink is cracked, door latch is broken(we fixed it for them), it was crappy...but, the TV was a 27" with the RCA plugs, so I was happy...

And Baymont is like Holiday Inn, exept Holiday Inn is better in my opinion...some nice things at the Baymont were that they give you free bottles of purified water every day, continental breakfast, very secure place(cameras in every hall, to get into the building you have to have the room key or go through the main entrance(which is always staffed with several people), and to go to the pools and other stuff, you have to have your room key), and very quiet.

Also, the one that I stayed at was along highway 54 on a cliff next to the highway, and you can walk out onto the cliff(our rooms faced the cliff, so we just walked out the sliding doors in our room and walked to the rock edge(we call these rocks "MO Rocks" as in Missouri rocks, or the rocks in the hills that the highways are cut through)and we could look over the highway from about 30ft up, and we made paper airplanes and my bro got one to fly across the highway...).

I still woulda liked staying somewhere more upscale, but this was good...
 
I didn't mean to destroy it...hehe if I really wanted to destroy stuff all I had to do was take it outside the room and drop it off the cliff...

Scum of the Earth Inn, huh? Sounds like a nice place for a honeymoon. :lol:

I've stayed at a Knights Inn in Columbus - most likely not the one you stayed at, I stayed at one in the airport in 1996. Just wanted to sleep! :D

All those chain hotels are alike!
 
the Knights Inn I stayed at was right near the highway...not the airport...

But then again, we stayed at a Amerisuites near Cleveland, and they said that we were getting a room with a big screen TV...we get there, go into the room, it's a 25" TV! I guess they consider that a big screen...but it was the only place I've stayed at ever, that had S-Video hookup for my PS2...And they had a pop-corn machine in the lobby...free to all guests, and my dad ate soo much of it...I had a little(not a big popcorn fan...).

yea...good times, good times.

Ohh, when I went to Destin Fl in '98, we stayed at a holliday in, it was 8 stories, right on the beach, and we were on the 7th floor(the 8th is the penthouse...)and me and my bro raced eachother up to the top, I took the elevator, he took the stairs, and I got up there, and he's rapidly clicking the elevator button, and the inside elevator doors open, but the outer ones don't, and I'm yelling at him to stop...

We also had a balcony(it's like a loft room...very very cool) and we took an Aerobie(you know, the round boomerang thing that keeps going strait...)and I was on the balcony, I through it off, and it went strait into the ocean...my bro had to run after it...

Also, this was where my dad almost floated out to sea...we had 2 of those raft things, my dad went out really far(this is the Gulf of Mexico), and a boat almost hit him(!!), but then he stayed out there, and we're screaming at him to come in...ended up that he pasted the first sand bar, went to the second(the last one)but drifted past it, and had to swim like mad to not go out to sea...we talked to one of the life guards or someone there, and they said that once you go past that second sand bar, you usually need to be rescued...my dad was atleast 300yrds out there...like a dot on the water lol...
