Swamp Donkey

You mean......there was only a thin layer of denim separating me from "lil warrior" back in September?!?!?

Yes and yes. Damn that's funny.
 
I would highly recommend Patagonia boxers.
They are expensive, but are less costly that monkey butt, or sore balls.
Just saying......
 
Doesn’t the powder just make biscuit dough later on though?

It looks like the term swamp donkey is up for debate.

I will be much mo betta prepared the next time I have endure long walking and swcheaty balls!

One thing is certain: Disney is fun, and my wife and daughter are having a blast. My son? Not so much. He ain’t digging the characters. I’m here just suffering thru, sort of having fun, but I’d much rather be chillin with the Carolina Trail Blazers around a fire after a long day of wheeling!!

You don't lay down a base thick enough to mortar bricks bro o_O :lol:

Just a sprinkle in the morning and you're good most of the day (NORMAL days).

Picked that stuff up 15 years or so ago when I was riding streetbikes long distances, as well as riding enduro offroad. I once rode a Hayabusa from NC to mexico and learned that anti-monkeybutt powder did nothing when you hit a hurricane and have soaked draws for 500 miles. That's when I found aerostitch underware. Later I found that you could buy compression boxer-briefs cheaper at a bicycle shop, so I have several pairs of those for known swamp-ass situations (i.e. long days in the summer doing manual labor where you sweat so bad you have to shower and change clothes 3-4 times)

In may thru September, unless I'm going to the office, I have on compression underware. I sweat like a democrat driving a box truck of fixed ballots in florida 10 minutes before the polls close on any given normal day, so when it's hot or I'm doing a physical activity, I could drown an octopus with just what rolls off my back....(which of course funnels down my crack to the bottom of my underware) in other words....this ain't my first rodeo. I was in your shoes back in the 80's when you had a choice of cotton briefs, or cotton boxers, or commando. I tried everything. Thank heavens for monkey butt, and biker shorts.

1) Always prep with boudreaux’s butt paste
2) Always wear compression shorts in that scenario
3) with the area already chafed...skip the Boudreaux's and go neosporin plus pain relief, sleep as close to nekkid as you can for air flow and don’t go anywhere without compression shorts on

This x100. I was going to post this exact same thing. I was at Disney last December, and all I wore were compression shorts under my shorts, and I was good to go. A buddy of mine was down there a few months before me, got the schwety bawls and was walking like a cowboy pushing a stroller for three days. I learned from his experience.

The Tusker House breakfast juice is pretty damn good if you get the chance. Nothing else to add but thought you needed to know. You could also hit up a Dole Whip next door to the bridge you crossed to get there. They'll put rum in it if you want.

Also, tell your boy Happy Birthday!
 
Ate at Tusker House yesterday. It was pretty good.

I noticed Daisy's and the waiter's outfits...

It's sad but I know more about that place than I care to admit. We're headed back in December for our 4th or 5th go :rolleyes:

It really is an awesome place. Considering coming back just me and the wife for our 5th anniversary next year. I just don’t do well with crowds is my problem. But It’d be a lot easier to come without kids. Skip all the kiddy stuff, less waiting, no dragging kids around. No character dinners. I’d rather be wheeling any day, but if I can suffer thru this week and then I get 6-7 long wheeling trips in each year I’m good. I just keep picturing my happy place and imagining rolling up trail 15 at Windrock in a few months with @Chris_Keziah and the gang.

You're a better man than I...Disney World is my hell. Wait in line for 2 hours for a 90 second thrill ride, or pay lots of money to skip to the front, above and beyond the lots of money you already spent just to get there. Oh, but drink around the world in Epcot, that's where the fun is for adults...awesome, I just paid $22 for a beer. Well then go to Downtown Disney after the park closes...even better, so now I can be in a crowd of people that are hot and tired and cranky after being hot and tired and cranky in the park all day.

I just hate PEOPLE in general. People that don't pay attention, or lollygag really infuriate me. But stupid people make me want to mass murder. Gets worse with age. I've done Disney 4 times. 2 as a kid, and took the kids twice. I can't foresee ever having the patience to go back. Maybe I'll mellow when I have grandkids, but I can't ever see returning, and I SHO wouldn't go with just the wife. She's like me....she HATES people (i.e. crowds)
 
I’m with you Troy. I hate people and crowds. I just turn it off and deal with it somehow for the wife.

LOL. You just need some of your weekly coffee to mellow out with.

Yes, my wife is a Disney addict. She's running the Princess 5k with her friend in February :rolleyes: She loves it, my little girl loves it and I'm sure my little boy will too once he gets the whole thing. All he wanted to do was ride the dinosaurs (Triceratops Spin) or the Magic Carpets of Aladdin last time. Me? I don't really care. I show up, push the buggy and take the pictures like a Japanese tourist. Granted it's not cheap but I'll give my wife credit. She does an amazing job of planning and finding deals. I think you'd be surprised what we do and how affordable it is. We stay on site, have Fast Passes, and get free dining which means I order whatever the hell I want. This usually means the most expensive thing on the menu for me. I've never waited in line more than 15 minutes. Even when I didn't have a Fast Pass. The crowds don't bother me like they used to. The real dads get it. You run into each other and it's no big deal. You're all just trying to get through the day. Sometimes when your kid is in full meltdown mode you'll get the sympathetic head nod of understanding. It may not be for everyone but we make it work. My kids won't be young forever and one day they'll get tired of hanging around mom and dad for vacation.

Oh and before I forget, you boys need the app. It shows you wait times around the entire kingdom; all parks. Mickey's Haunted Mansion may be an hour wait but Space Mtn may be only 20 mins. That's when you shag ass over there.

:lol: Mkay, you do you dawg!

My kids would have MUCH rather me take them to Mt Rogers, Hanging rock, Pilot Mtn and spend all day hiking, and all evening by the camp fire. Didn't even have to TAKE them anywhere. They loved being around the firepit in the back yard. Especially on chilly nights.

Ask them about Disney memories, and they can rarely tell you what happened. Ask them about when they saw a bear at Mt Rogers, and they can give you vivid account of exactly what went down. But to each their own. James and Sonya love that place and would go every weekend if they could. Me? Not sure you could PAY me to go.

All I'm saying is that the ones who have to endure the Disney World multiple times understand what it is. Would I rather my kids go to the hills and kick around? Absolutely but one week out of the year is a small price to pay when I get 51 other weeks to do things outside or around the house. You guys act like this is the only time you have all year to do something memorable :lol::lol:

1) I did a 10 day Disney trip once for my buddy’s wedding. Went out to the valet every 30 mins or so for refills in my car. Head back in to the Grand Floridian to give my Best Man speech...in the middle of it my phone starts blowing up. After my speech listen to the messages, folks are looking for me to give my Best Man speech...which was odd because I had just given it. That pretty much summarizes the entire 10 days. So you’re right, that did seem to help

2) It’s not so much about waiting 20mins or 2 hours, it’s about waiting in general. I know I’ll get to do the ‘princess lunch’ thing at Disney in a few years...and I’m sure I’ll enjoy seeing my kids light up, but I’m also sure there are other experience where they’ll light up just as much where I’ll enjoy the entirety of the trip too.

This is more where my head is at. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say the same emotion will be evoked seeing horses in Corolla as seeing Mickey Mouse. And if it’s a matter of rides...Drop Zone and Tower of Terror are pretty frickin close.

Couldn't shut this girl up about the horses!! Had to go back and rent a house on the 4x4 beach for several years after this :lol: (my youngest....she's a senior in HS now)

After both trips to disney, on the way home, we asked the kids if they had a good time. All three reacted like..."Meh"

Our kids are laid back. Once we started the OBX trips to the 4x4 beach...well, it was on then.
