Post-Delaware Staycation
by Steve West on July 12, 2009
The last leg of our vacation was a trip to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA. This is a pretty terrific amusement park for kids, I mean little kids. Most of the rides are designed for children between the ages 6 & 10. The best picture I'll post (we had many) was a picture of us going over the peak of the double splash log flume ride - about a thirty foot drop. Lauren is deleriously shouting for joy in the front while Olivia is cowering with amusement in the back with Brenda. This pretty much encapsules our day. Eight hours of this and other stuff like a water park, flight simulators (cool), roller coasters, etc. Everyone had a great time and I recommend the place to parents who want to avoid those huge coasters.

Nice!
So, about this Dutch Wonderland...does it have Amish themed attractions? From the name (and location), it would seem to be so, but log flumes and roller coasters do not sound very Amish.
A butter churn? Buggy rides? Barn raisings?? :)

Ha! They do prominently feature a kosher fast food type place. There are statues of Amish farmers and a few cutouts where you poke your face through for pictures but not much more that I noticed.

Tattooing's Last Frontier
Aside from internal organs, there doesn't seem to have been any body part un-tattooed except for the eyeball. Until now. Colored contact lenses weren't good enough for this guy and I really expect him to be the first guy with a spleen tattoo. Go »When You Care Enough to Hit Send
E-cards of an unusual and hilarious nature. I haven't tried one so I don't know if they work - it appears that they do. But they're extremely funny nonetheless. Go »Placing Lust's Arrow In Cupid's Quiver
It's refreshing to reflect that the human race survived the sexually repressive Victorian Era. That women actually overcame their culturally reinforced suppression of sexual urges and ultimately spread their legs for something other than yeast related trail-blazing. Let's relive those glory days with the Victorian Sex Cry Generator and see where Fern Michaels gets her inspiration. Go »Compassion
I haven't posted since the incident in January and used that time to do a lot of soul-searching. A lot of it was fruitless. I told my boss' boss of the circumstances behind my asking for a day off because my boss was vacationing at the time. Go »Phallic Logo Awards
Most of these fall under the "They Had To Have Noticed" category. I'll never look at another Head tennis racket quite the same way again. The winner is absolutely hilarious. Go »
