The Hive is Not Yet Dead.

Was Magic Mountain Six Flags? Did it [Six Flags] get bought out by Magic Mountain?

Magic Mountain got bought out by Six Flags way back in 1979.

My sister has been to Canada and my parents to Europe. Most likely I'm gonna die an old man w/o ever being outside my own nation's borders.

I've went to Europe on a pilgrimage back in 1996 (?) with my parents and brothers. The trip was interesting although it would have been better if I wasn't stuck with a group of mostly elderly or middle aged Spanish Speaking pilgrims*. Besides for that trip the only country I've been to outside the US is Mexico, which is a given considering that my family's Mexican.


* I only have a marginal comprehension of the Spanish language and as a result, my uncle nicknamed me Indio (indian) which is somewhat of an insult since Nahault, Zapotec and Yucatec are considered to be the language of ignorant peasants to some Mexicans. To go further, theres a strange Mexican Nationalist Cultural vibe (even in the US) which leads aloit of Mexicans (especially first generation immigrants and their children ) to believe that if you are a Mexican and do not know Spanish then it means that you are ignorant, and a traitor to your own people. It's sad.. but when I used to go to Mexico as a kid (especially in regions away from the border) my parents discouraged me from speaking in public because of that attitude.

I never get to go to continental Europe. Every time my family or I has the time and/or money for a transatlantic vacation, it really has to be spent in England, visiting relatives. It's nice seeing them, but I wish I could hop on the chunnel sometime just to say I've been to the mainland.

Salutations, my fellow Hiveminders.

I believe the time has arrived for my presence, that is to say, the presence of Galeros, to become the focal point of this conversation. Do I find you in agreement with my sentiment?

Fixed That For You.

I am so looking foirward to my nephew being old enough to be able to take him to Disney. My mom has confirmed that we will be taking him there when he is ready for it! It has been way to freakin' long since I've been to Disney World. My inner child wants out!

I still have a single day left on my never expires pass. Of course, it's apparently permanently keyed to my thumbprint, so it wouldn't do anyone else any good to steal it from me.

...

Unless they were to cut off my thumb and take it with them to Florida.

...

That said, has anyone seen my wallet?

...

... or my hand?

None of us seem to be as prolific as we once were.

Who are you, again?

She's not passed out drunk. That's this weekend.

Giggity?

And welcome back to the hive Aurora. We missed you something fierce. Okay, okay I admit it I missed you something fierce.

Aeson and I missed your something as well. . . .

Err. . . I mean we missed YOU, you of course are what we missed.

One of the finnish cable channels is doing reruns of 'Allo 'Allo and I've been hooked . The best british comedy I've ever seen. Anyone capable should try to find and watch these.

Looks like a good show.

That really is terrible. I for one find it important for people to pass down languages for the sake of culture, but to have a stigma because someone didn't? Stupid. Shouldn't it be a be worse to get up and move away from the motherland in favor of living in another country? Sheesh.

Glad to see things haven't changed

No no. It is the BEST! Ever! I mean EVER!



Sorry. I'm a bit hyped.

Of course not.

*waves* Hi Aurora.

Yay, another poster. Now I can get back to my catch up posting without getting banned for spamming.
