Alternate Names

Years ago, when HBO still played "shorts" between movies, I saw one that WDW should think about.

A camera crew filmed every mile of driving cross country, from the east coast to the west coast.

The unique thing was that they "played" it back at the speed that a satallite in orbit would cross the country, I think about 15 minutes!

It was one of those things tht you couldn't stop watching! of course they had some background music, and every so often a voice would say what state they were crossing!

(Student: they are my parents, what can I say.
Dr: were you adopted?)

Sounds like something I saw online last year. Someone drove coast-to-coast in a van with a camera mounted inside, pointing out the passenger-side window. It took a photo every mile along the way (he rigged it to the odometer), and it was all combined into a website. He tried to stay off the Interstates and major highways where he could, sticking mostly to local and state routes. I'll have to see if I can find it. There's a picture of him at the Golden Gate Bridge with all the rolls of film he took spread out in front of him.

This was a number of years ago, and I think they had named it telstar or something similar after the communications sat that they were "imitating"

I think something similar, say a complete video tour of DLR and WDW, compacted into a five to ten minute show!!

I suppose you could kayak in the Splash Mountain flume, but you'd prolly damage the kayak on the lift hills.

And an "eskimo roll" could be rather painful.

*grin* Not one who kayaks regularly, (or ever) the first thing I thought of when I read "Eskimo roll" was...

"Hmm.. Frozen sushi. I wonder if it would be tasty?" :p:

Yuck! Now I'll never eat sushi, not that I ever did in the first place. But this just confirmed my extreme dislike for the stuff.

Actually - from what I've always been told the word sushi refers to the rice part of the rolls - not the fish in particular - some is vegetarian (cucumber and veggie rols come to mind) and others do include fish. But the pieces of fish that most people think of as sushi is sashimi.

Some of it - especially the vegetarian rolls are quite yummy - and considering that my seafood hating husband loves the stuff - I'd say that's a good vote :)

(And to bring it back to Disney Topic....I highly recommend the stuff they serve at the Food and Wine festival!)
