OK, a new game to kill time till "mid-season".
You know you are a TAR addict when . . . .
You race your traveling companion to the door of the hotel room.
You consider the time between arriving home from work and the next morning as a Pit Stop.
Your turn.

"Pinched" by Agman
I prolly shoulda put this in Fanatics, but....

You reach a road-closed sign with a detour, and proclaim, "A detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons."
Every time you go to Ikea, you look around for Lori and Bolo and count, "68, 69, 80..."
You take the time to read the article about Hayden and Aaron getting married.

This is true! Boy am I in trouble.
You know you are a TAR addict when you are going on a cruise (Dec. 9, 2007 Carnival Destiny) with two girls on what is called a 'Party Boat' and you spend all your time trying to decide which zip-line tours on which islands you want to take.
PS. At present it looks like I will be doing four(4) zip-lines on on three islands - I hope I live.

San Juan, St. Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua.
Zip-Lines, Sea-Kayaking, Cliff-Diving (Why did they not show that one?), Bike and Horse Riding, Mountain Climbing and TAR-Like activities - but no Zorbs that I can see.
Also very TAR-Like is choosing your taxi driver. A bad taxi can mess-up a vacation as badly as on a TAR-Leg. And don't even mention what happens if a taxi driver messes up to the point that you miss your ship!

You tell the last person arriving at a meeting, dinner, or other event that he or she has been eliminated. (Or Philiminated, if your addiction is terminal.)

You've been warned, so don't complain.

When I asked at the desk, I found it was actually the flight FROM Baltimore that we had come in on the previous week. D'ohhh!

The best thing about watching TAR in-front of the gas fireplace (turned to max) under a blanket, is that she is too busy watching the show to notice what my hands are doing until it is too late.
Timing is everything. You want to get her interested right as the pre-views end.

Posted by qwertypie on 06-22-07 at 05:30 PM

SIGH! *hangs head in shame* It reminds me off a time I was trying to swear at a cabbie who was trying to rip us off in Buenos Aires.
We had already taken a cab trip from the airport to our hotel a few days befoe and it cost 12 pesos (at the time 1 peso = 1 USD and $1 CDN = 0.63 USD).
The new cabbie figured we had just flown in internationally and didn't know any better, locked our luggage in the trunk and told us it would be 40 pesos. I flipped out and wanted to say to him along the lines of "You lying POS, you are trying to rob us it is WAY too much money". And then I realized he now had our luggage hostage.
Unfortunately, I forgot I didn't know spanish (much less how to swear in it), so all that came out was "MUY" . MUY! MUY! MUY! I screamed over and over again. Then BF-now DH and cabby were dumbfounded and more than a little scared of this crazy lady screaming "Very, very, very" and starting to bang the trunk. Onlookers were starting to gather, so the cabby grabbed our bags, threw them at us and sped away. So we got our bags back, took another cab and it cost us 11.50.
DH, who does know a little Spanish figure I meant to say something along the lines of "demasiado dinero". On the other hand, there is a slight chance the cabbie will think twice about ripping off some other touristas.
Thankfully, this was before you-tube.
And DH absolutely refuses to apply for any reality tv shows with me.
